Plenty of talk about whether we're getting the Santa Rally this year, but here's the thing most people seem to miss: the Santa Rally window isn't some vague holiday period. It's specifically the final five trading days of December combined with the first two trading days of January.

So before you write off the move entirely, might be worth checking the calendar and seeing where we actually stand in that particular timeframe. The crypto market tends to follow this seasonal pattern pretty closely, regardless of what happens earlier in December. Whether it materializes or not is a different story, but at least we can nail down exactly what period we're talking about here.
