One of the more consistent seasonal biases over time has been that surrounding major national holidays.  The typical pattern is for market strength before a holiday (as traders leave for vacations) and weakness afterwards (when they return).

Click on a holiday below to see that particular holiday's bias in the days before and after the holiday.  The years covered are those since the holiday became a national observance, or 1950, whichever is earlier.

In order to see each holiday's performance, simply click on the holiday below and the chart will pop up underneath.
