Wall Street’s kicking off 2026 with some green vibes, $DOW, $SPY, and $QQQ futures are all ticking up as traders jump back in after the holiday break. Early action feels like everyone’s buying dips and betting the good macro data + rate cut chatter sticks. Tech is trying to lead the charge again, but you can still feel a hint of caution, it’s like the market’s saying “show me the goods before I go full bull.” With earnings and economic data in the pipeline, this start could just be the calm before the next headline storm. Is 2026 about to open with a legit rally, or are we just getting a fakeout before the real volatility returns?
