Year-end trading hits different when liquidity dries up and volume tanks. You see those wild price swings, the spreads widen, and suddenly every move feels exaggerated. That's not a market glitch—it's what happens when traders take holidays and the order book thins out. If you're still holding through December expecting normal market conditions, you've only got yourself to blame. The smart play? Either step back until volume returns, or adjust your risk management knowing the waters are shallow.

The end-of-year liquidity crunch is really serious; a single surge can scare you to death...

The liquidity at the end of the year really has everyone confused.

Liquidity dried up in December. This is true hell mode; can't play anymore.

Really, this year's end market rally is crazy. Every move seems to skyrocket instantly, making it feel more like gambling than trading.

Liquidity is so poor at the end of the year and you're still holding on, truly asking for trouble. I previously tested it myself and the order book data in December was sparse to such an extent that the spreads could widen several times, and placing a single order would directly cause slippage. This is not a technical risk, but simply the result of traders being on holiday and the inherent flaws in the liquidity protocol architecture being exposed.
