The S&P 500 Index is once again at the doorstep of new all-time highs as the Santa Claus rally continues. The benchmark is pushing up against resistance at 2080, following a positive intermediate trend, as indicated by the direction of the 50-day moving average. Volume on Monday was 20% below the 10-day average as the holiday trading environment that is typical at this time of year becomes apparent.
