Something’s lining up this week because the timing of these three events is just too perfect to ignore.
You may have noticed that Thursday’s CPI report was originally scheduled for last week — right before the Fed meeting — but got bumped. That strikes me as odd, and I can’t help but think there’s a reason for it.
Here’s my take: If the administration knew the CPI print was going to be bad, they wouldn’t want it affecting the Fed’s rate decision. So they moved it. I can’t say that with certainty, but it makes sense when you look at how much Trump has pushed for aggressive rate cuts.
That means we might be looking at some rough inflation data tomorrow morning. But bad news on the right day can be a great buying opportunity, especially when it lands in the middle of a powerful seasonal window.
The Santa Claus Rally Kicks Off Tomorrow
The Santa Claus rally technically starts on the 14th trading day of December — and that’s Thursday. And we walk right into triple witching on Friday, when quarterlies, monthlies and weeklies all expire at once.
It often brings volatility but the real edge comes after the dust settles.
Historically, the week following triple witching leans strongly to the upside. The Russell 2000 (RUT) goes higher 72% of the time, and the Nasdaq‑100 (QQQ) climbs 70% of the time. That’s a pattern worth respecting.
And the market has been flashing early signals. Over the last couple of weeks, RUT’s been outpacing the S&P 500 (SPY) by more than double, and it’s been the strongest of the major indices even on weaker days. That kind of relative strength heading into this window matters.
Why This Alignment Matters Right Now
So here’s the setup. CPI hits tomorrow morning, the Santa Claus rally begins, and triple witching lands Friday. All of this is stacking inside a tight 48‑hour window — and it’s rare to see catalysts pile up this cleanly.
When several forces converge at once, you don’t just get direction — you often get momentum. If tomorrow’s CPI shakes the market and creates a dip, that could set up the cleanest entry of the month heading straight into a historically bullish stretch.
I’m watching RUT and QQQ closely for opportunities on Friday. RUT still looks stronger given its leadership and seasonal tendencies, but both have solid setups. A well‑timed move here could ride not only a bounce but a statistically favored trend.
This is the kind of week where everything lines up — and you either take advantage of it or you watch it happen. I’m not interested in watching.

P.S. Other Traders Might Ignore a ‘Small’ Move Like This
Most traders assume you need big moves in stocks just to see decent profits.
But here’s the truth…
A strange quirk in how options are priced creates a rare sweet spot where even a boring 1% move on a stock can snowball into a 100% return on the right trade.
It sounds crazy. But it’s not theory, it’s math.
The “glitch” happens when market makers misprice contracts. They’ll never admit it publicly… but if you know how to look, you can spot it in real time.
And that’s exactly what I want to show you.
I found a way to automatically scan the entire market, flag these mispriced setups, and get in on clear, actionable trades.
The best part? These setups don’t require hours of chart analysis or guessing where the headlines will land.
They just require you to step in and execute before the window closes.
Naturally, no one can guarantee outcomes.
But if you want a shot at 100% ROI weeks from “nothing” stock moves…
We develop tools and strategies to the best of our ability, but no one can guarantee the future. There is always a risk of loss when trading. Past performance is not indicative of future results. From 10/05/23-12/3/25 the average return per trade winners and losers was 22.38% with an average winner of 91.51% and a 61.8% win rate over a 4-day hold time.
