#数字资产市场动态 Holiday market trends are relatively weak, but precious metals are brewing big moves. Gold, silver, and platinum all hit record highs, and this rally has been ongoing since the end of the year. The problem is, with Christmas and New Year holidays coming one after another, global financial market liquidity has plummeted to a low point, and trading volume has almost evaporated. The real market movement might not pick up until the second week of January.

Here are some key dates to remember next week:
- **December 30th at 3:00 AM**: Federal Reserve releases the latest monetary policy meeting minutes, which is the main event
- **December 31st at 9:30 PM**: US initial jobless claims data (for the week ending December 27)
- **January 3rd at 10:45 PM**: US December S&P Global Manufacturing PMI final reading

The market cares so much about the Fed minutes mainly because it wants to glean two things: **when will interest rate cuts continue** and **the Fed’s true stance on inflation**. During the holidays, Fed officials and major central banks won’t make public statements, so these minutes carry even more weight. For blockchain investors, such policy signals often directly influence risk sentiment in the crypto market.

Wait a minute, can this wave of precious metals really drive the crypto market? Feels like a different game plan. The Federal Reserve minutes are the real game-changer; expectations of rate cuts suddenly shift the entire trend. With such liquidity, let's just stay flat this week... see you in the second week of January. Gold hitting new highs, but no one is buying the dip. The market is really cold. I must watch that minute from December 30th; it will determine the mood of the New Year’s market. Trading volume has evaporated, how can we play like this? Let's wait for the wind to come, everyone. Wow, precious metals hit new highs while the crypto market is in an ice age. The contrast is quite interesting.

Liquidity is so poor during the holiday, yet precious metals are soaring, indicating someone is holding back a big move. The Federal Reserve minutes are the real bombshell; let's wait and see the signals for interest rate cuts. Gold and silver are rising together; is traditional finance sending any signals? The market will only be lively in the second week of January; hold your coins and wait for opportunities. The Fed minutes can directly influence market sentiment in the crypto space; we need to keep a close watch. Holiday trading volume has evaporated; it feels like everyone is waiting for the post-New Year actions. Getting up at 3 a.m. on the 30th to check the minutes—worth it, brothers? Precious metals hitting new highs—when will crypto turn around? The bottom of the liquidity trough might actually be the best time to lay low. Inflation stance and the pace of rate cuts—these two are the key factors.

Holiday liquidity has bottomed out, this is true dormancy. No wonder gold has been quietly surging so fiercely. After talking about rate cuts for so long, the FOMC minutes are the real game-changer. Liquidity drying up like this, only the brave dare to bottom fish. I really can't see through it. The surge in precious metals is ridiculously strong. Let's wait and see the trend in the second week of January. Don't be fooled by the holiday market. If the Federal Reserve's minutes are hawkish, the crypto market will cool down significantly. Being cautious is never a bad idea.

The holiday market with dried-up liquidity is really impressive, just waiting for the Federal Reserve minutes on the 30th to stir things up --- Gold has hit a new high again? What about my BTC, still sleeping --- Expectations of interest rate cuts are just stories, don't take them seriously --- Waiting for the second week of January? I can't wait, I want to move now --- Once the Fed minutes are out, the chain circle will tremble, this routine is too familiar --- Gold and other precious metals have risen so much, should I start buying crypto bottom-fishing... --- Holiday trading volume has evaporated, isn't this the perfect time for big players to accumulate --- I'll definitely stay up late at 3 a.m. on the 30th, can't miss this wave --- The attitude towards inflation is the key, interest rate cuts are just superficial --- Liquidity bottoming out is actually an opportunity, you guys watch

Gold hits a new high again, but this liquidity... is really laughable. Let's wait until next year. Huh, the Federal Reserve minutes are the real focus. As soon as a rate cut signal appears, crypto immediately takes off. The holiday market is so ghostly, I sold everything early and just relaxed. Anyway, just wait until the second week of January. Holidays one after another, trading volume evaporates directly. Can't really play like this. What I care about is whether the Federal Reserve will continue to pump liquidity. That's the real key to crypto. Liquidity has bottomed out, and you're still bullish? Brother, your moves are a bit extreme. Waiting for the minutes on December 30th. That's the real showdown moment. Global holidays, just holidays, yet they have to create suspense. So annoying. Gold hitting a new high is no surprise, but why hasn't crypto caught up yet? Once the inflation data is released, things could change. Everyone, be mentally prepared.

Wait, is the gold hitting a new high and the Federal Reserve minutes really that important? I feel like now, as long as there's data, it can skyrocket or plummet.

Holiday liquidity exhaustion, isn't this the perfect opportunity to go long? Gold has already hit new highs, what are you waiting for? The FOMC minutes are the real bomb; let's see how the crypto market reacts then. Trading volume is evaporating ≈ the main players are quietly accumulating; I've seen this trick too many times. Waiting for the second week of January? I bet someone is already bottom-fishing now.
