And welcome to closing bell. I'm Mike Santoli in for Scott Wapner. This make-a-break hour begins with a sturdy, somewhat stealthy rally carrying into the end of a winning week. Here's a scorecard with 60 minutes to go in regulation. The benchmark S&P 500 modestly positive. You see it up there a little more than a quarter of 1% on the day, though that is being restrained by some more sluggishness in some of the

mega cap growth stocks out there. InVidia, in fact, the biggest drag on the index falling,

let's see, about 3% on the day and is now down below the closing price from before the company

reported strong results and raised guidance on Wednesday.

The Dow industrials, they are outperforming.

They are up about 8 tenth of 1%. Actually, so is the equal-weighted S&P up about that much.

While the Russell 2000 makes another run above the 2,400 market,

it's not far from what would be its first record high in about three years,

helped by upbeat readings

on the consumer in retail earnings and a services sector gauge this morning.

And then there's the tireless run in Bitcoin.

It is now trading above 99,0.99.250 at the moment, it got actually even a little closer

than that to the $100,000 mark as the buying frenzy rolls on.

It's riding hopes for wider adoption under the incoming Trump administration.

We will keep an eye on that one for sure.

That brings us to our talk of the tape.

How long will these favorable trends remain investors' friend as we enter an even stronger seasonal period with the

Bulls confidence riding high. Well, that's Warren Pyes, co-founder of 314 research. Warren,

great to see you. Thanks for coming on today. Yeah, thank you for having me.

So as I gather, Warren, you're kind of not in the mood to necessarily fight this up trend as we face the last

several weeks of this year. It just seems like you have the fundamental case. The Fed is in this

kind of orderly easing process. Obviously, the market technically has held this nice trend.
