With Christmas just around the corner, many are wondering if this will be another "Christmas massacre." Last night's market movement, I believe many traders were tortured by both long and short squeezes—no matter which side they bet on, it seemed they couldn't escape the fate of being harvested.

Interestingly, the market always cycles through a pattern: bad news landing is just bad news, and good news landing also turns into bad news. In simple terms, true bullish signals only have value when liquidity is sufficient. And the various news flying around every day mostly just confuses retail investors.

However, from another perspective, this kind of oscillation is actually an opportunity. I personally am optimistic about ETH's future performance. Around the 2700 level, within a range of 100 points up or down, can be a good entry point. BNB's performance is also worth watching, as both are in positions suitable for deployment.

In the week before Christmas, market sentiment is inevitably volatile, but volatility itself is the stage for traders. The key is to stay calm and not be fooled by short-term bullish or bearish chaos.

Long and short explosions are just the art of cutting leeks. I’ve fallen into the trap again this time. --- Talking about liquidity? Basically, it’s just the market makers absorbing orders. --- ETH 2700? I don’t believe you. You said the same last time. --- Volatility is the stage, my principal is the ticket. After the dance, nothing’s left. --- Stay calm? Ha, I’ve been so calm I’m trembling. --- News is everywhere, and so is my money, all heading in one direction. --- Christmas robbery or not, anyway, I’ve already been robbed of my coins. --- The real opportunity is to find the next sucker. --- Feels like you’re teaching me how to lose money. You’ve got plenty of experience. --- For reference only, not investment advice. My losses are also just for reference.

It's the same old story, good news gets crushed, bad news gets crushed, retail investors are just like sandwich cookies. That double explosion yesterday was truly amazing, both bullish and bearish, it felt like a pre-designed harvesting machine. ETH around 2700 is definitely worth watching, but to be honest, I'm more afraid of catching the bottom halfway up the mountain right now. Liquidity is a valid point; without volume, it's just a display. Rumors flying everywhere are just tricks to deceive new investors. Christmas crash? It was said last year too, every year it's talked about, but indeed every year some people get harvested. Stay calm—I've heard that advice for three years, but I still can't stop my irrational trading. What do you think about BNB? Is this a rebound or has it really started to rise? I'm a bit unsure. Honestly, I just want to know, are the big players building positions or selling off at this moment? It seems like opposite actions could be profitable.

Another double explosion of bulls and bears, retail investors should pay tuition fees --- Lack of liquidity makes everything pointless, the news is just a joke --- ETH around 2700, it’s indeed time to watch, but I still wait for a break below before entering --- The Christmas robbery theory is a bit mysterious, mainly the whales are eating retail orders --- Stay calm? Easy to say, who can stay calm when the account is bleeding --- Can BNB rebound this time? Feels like there’s nothing new in the fundamentals --- The market is like this, good news also causes sell-offs, we should get used to it --- Volatility itself is the stage, no doubt, but the stage is full of leeks --- I’m skeptical about the 2700 level, let’s see if it continues to fall --- News is everywhere, it’s just the whales testing the market, the funds have long been ambushed

It's harvest season again. I was directly caught off guard last night and started doubting my life. Retail investors' fate is to be confused by news, honestly. Around 2700 is indeed a good entry point; anyway, going sideways is also a death sentence.
