Recently, while organizing data, I noticed an interesting phenomenon—Bitcoin's liquidity has indeed become a bit subtle lately. During the year-end holiday season, trading volume is naturally sparse, the order book depth is significantly shallower than usual, and large orders tend to sweep the market easily. On Christmas Day, a low-liquidity trading pair on a major exchange even flashed to $24,000 before bouncing back instantly, which clearly indicates the market's fragility during holidays.



Looking at the trend over the past two weeks makes it clear. Bitcoin has been oscillating repeatedly between 87k-90k, ETF net outflows have continued for several days, and institutional funds are clearly on the sidelines. The entire market seems to be pressing the pause button, waiting for liquidity to truly rebound next year before taking action. There’s a reason for that.

In the short term, don’t be too aggressive. It’s mainly a volatile market with no signs of systemic collapse. However, once the holiday effect fades and global liquidity indicators continue to improve, Bitcoin often tends to rebound—there are historical cases of reversals after periods of low liquidity. Instead of frequent trading, it’s better to patiently wait for signals.

Getting a bit off-topic. CZ has recently dedicated himself fully to education and charity, with Giggle Academy providing children with free learning platforms, and the Max community has been holding offline events across various locations, truly pushing project implementation. This kind of sustainable ecosystem development is more reliable than just focusing on the thin liquidity during holidays. Interested parties can follow for updates.

Holiday thin liquidity is indeed prone to being dumped, but real players are waiting for signals. Don't rush to buy the dip.

The holiday wave is indeed fragile, the $24,000 flash crash couldn't hold... Just waiting for liquidity to recover Institutions are taking it easy, I'm just watching, no need to stir things up I'm quite optimistic about CZ's focus on education, it's more reliable than daily crypto trading

Liquidity is thin, huh? I'm just waiting for the holiday to end so institutions can recover. History always repeats itself, haha.

Holiday liquidity indeed took a hit, but I think this is actually when big institutions are quietly positioning themselves. Thumbs up, I believe CZ's focus on education is promising, it's more reliable than constantly watching K-line charts. The repeated tug-of-war around 87k basically means they're just waiting for a good start next year. The flash crash down to 24,000 was truly frightening, and the drawbacks of thin liquidity were immediately exposed. No rush, no impatience; as liquidity warms up naturally, there will be opportunities. Instead of frequently jumping in, it's better to hold steady. This wave of market movement doesn't present many big opportunities; better to accumulate good ammunition. CZ's ecosystem construction details are quite solid; compared to just shouting slogans, it's much more substantial. The analogy of the pause button is very apt; the entire market is indeed in hibernation.

Liquidity is so thin, no wonder large orders easily break through. I saw the 24,000 level at that moment, it was frightening. Institutions are all hiding for the holiday, very wise. Operating at this time is just giving away money. Let's wait until liquidity returns. What's the rush right now?

Holiday liquidity is indeed fragile, but let's not overinterpret a single flash crash event. The key is to see when institutions will re-enter after the New Year. ETF net outflows have been a bit annoying these days, but according to historical patterns, the probability of a reversal after low liquidity is quite high. Instead of obsessively watching candlestick charts every day, it's better to pay more attention to real progress in the ecosystem. CZ's educational projects are indeed quite interesting. This round is a patience game; we'll talk about it when the signals appear.
