During the Christmas holiday, traditional markets enter a closed mode, and the impact on the crypto market is worth following.
The specific schedule is as follows:
December 24 (Wednesday, Christmas Eve): US stock market closes at 1 AM ET (2 AM Beijing time), and the bond market closes at 2 PM.
December 25 (Thursday, Christmas): Market closed all day.
December 26 (Friday): Resume normal trading.
During this period, liquidity in the traditional financial market has significantly declined. Institutional investors have entered holiday mode, and market participation is noticeably insufficient. Although the crypto market operates 24 hours, it is prone to trend-following behavior and thin trading in such an environment.
Liquidity exhaustion often comes with risks. A small amount of capital can leverage prices, making disturbances such as spikes and false breakouts more frequent. Large holders have more room to maneuver, while retail investors need to be particularly cautious.
It is advisable to adopt a cautious strategy during this period: increase risk awareness, control positions, and avoid being trapped in a low liquidity environment. Market conditions often produce unexpected fluctuations during such special periods, so preparing sufficient response plans is a wise move.

The holiday thin trading is really fierce; a few hundred million can create a market trend. We need to be wary of the small moves from Large Investors.

During the Christmas season, thin-slice pig-butchering scams make Large Investors smile, while retail investors cry. It's better to just lie flat honestly.
