MarketWatch reported that analysts tend to overhype stock-market rallies occurring in the fall season.
According to MarketWatch, there is no such thing as an early 'Santa Claus rally' in the stock market.
The outlet noted that the real stock market gains typically happen once a year during the traditional Santa Claus rally period.
Investors should be cautious about expecting early gains before the usual rally season.
MarketWatch's analysis suggests that the timing of stock market gains is consistent year to year, occurring later rather than earlier in the season.
