Chances are good the stock market could hit a few bumps as December gets underway, but any pullback should be slight.

The S&P 500 is up 25.8% year-to-date. In years when it has gained 20% or more by Thanksgiving, it usually ends the year even higher, but not significantly higher, adding another 1.8% on average, according to Bespoke. There have been 22 such instances, and the S&P has gained in those post-Thanksgiving periods 77% of the time

The Russell 2000 is up 2.7% for the week so far, outpacing the S&P's 1.2% rise and even the Nasdaq's 2% gain.Redler said more than an overall pullback, he's expecting different sectors to continue to reverse course.
