#BTC资金流动性 Christmas week trading requires vigilance: half-day trading on Wednesday, complete market closure on Thursday.
The traders from Wall Street institutions have long left their seats—spotted on planes, at resorts, and in clubs. What remains in the trading pairs are merely two types of players: automated market-making machines and retail investors swayed by emotions.
This combination has a fatal weakness: liquidity suddenly shrinks. The power of a single order is infinitely amplified, enough to break through multiple candlesticks.
The holiday market has a distinct label - chaotic fluctuations replacing trends. Severe price volatility is not a signal for the start of a trend, but rather a manifestation of serious market depth inadequacy. The fierce movement of candlesticks does not equal high market quality; instead, it suggests concentrated risks.
The common problem among traders is this: treating abnormal fluctuations during holidays as opportunities. Frequent actions will only hand profits over to slippage. The correct attitude should be: restraint, patience, and stability.
Ethereum recently found support at the 2950 level, with lightweight long positions earning about 70 points. Participants locked in profits with small positions of a few hundred USDT—not because the market conditions were excellent, but because during the holidays, it is only worth pursuing those micro rebounds that are highly certain and have controllable risks.
Positions that have already made a profit must be reduced, and the cost line should be continuously raised to ensure that you won't be swept away by a reversal. Treat the remaining positions as a trial and error quota, and don't expect them to rise significantly.
If you haven't participated yet, there's no need to be anxious. Opportunities with real potential always appear on normal trading days when liquidity is abundant and market participation is high. When the holiday ends and institutional traders return to their seats, that is when the direction truly deserves to be tracked. The next step will be revealed by the regular market rhythm of the new year.

All the institutions are on holiday, and it's just us suckers cutting each other. Once the liquidity shrinks, we won't be able to escape.

The holiday market is like a casino, and the institutions have all run away, leaving us to hurt each other with the Bots.
Retail investors are the easiest to get carried away; frequent trading just means giving money to slippage, and that's really disheartening.
That wave at 2950 for Ether was indeed stable; locking in seventy points with a small position should have been the time to run, greed leads to losses.
Wait until the new year, when the liquidity is good, then it will be the real opportunity; for now, just endure.

Retail investors are most easily played people for suckers at this time; with institutions on holiday, who will catch a falling knife?

The current market trend during the holiday is just like eating eggshells, it's boring.
