Day-Trading Scenarios for Dec 22, 2025

Very narrow range to start. Scalp trades until volume picks up. Dow range only 142 points so far. First resistance is 48599 then 48660. Good support is at 48415 then 48375.

The broader trend remains bullish on higher timeframes, with analysts projecting potential upside to 49,500 or higher. Recent action shows consolidation near all-time highs, with support holding above 47,800–48,000.

Equities continue to benefit from a supportive backdrop, including expectations for further Fed rate cuts in 2026 amid cooling inflation and resilient growth. Tech resurgence (e.g., Nvidia, Oracle gains) is spilling over positively, aiding broader indices like the Dow despite earlier rotation into value.

Positive drivers: Strong corporate earnings momentum, AI-related optimism, and seasonal strength.

Risks: Thin trading volume ahead of Christmas (early close Dec 24, closed Dec 25), potential tariff/policy uncertainties under the new administration, and any spillover from overbought conditions in growth sectors.
