#战略性加仓BTC New Year's Day countdown this week, the market schedule is dense but seems lively. In reality, only two things can truly trigger a market move.
Tuesday is a watershed. The Federal Reserve will release the December meeting minutes, which is the only news this week that can genuinely shake the market. All eyes are on one question—their plans for interest rate cuts next year.
Starting from Wednesday, the situation changes. Global exchanges gradually enter holiday mode, with many markets closing early or shutting down directly. Trading volume visibly drops, and the market begins to weaken, as if someone pressed the slow-motion button.
Thursday and Friday are even more so. The US stock market is completely closed, and major assets like crude oil, precious metals, and foreign exchange are mostly at a standstill. Liquidity dries up, and the volatility of $BTC, $ETH, $SOL and these coins is naturally compressed.
The core point is this: the only event that can truly move the market this week is the Federal Reserve minutes on Tuesday. Other times are basically locked into a calm, oscillating rhythm—don't expect big moves.

Tuesday's paper article is out, and most people are still in a daze. The real bloodbath opportunities are in extreme volatility, not in this zombie-like holiday market.
Wait, the expectation of interest rate cuts is correct, but don't ignore — liquidity exhaustion is precisely a signal for bottom-fishing.
Can that paper on Tuesday really move the market? I bet five dollars it's just another false alarm.
Looking at the minutes alone this week is useless; the key is whether the bottom trading volume has accumulated, which is a precursor to the next round of decline.
Just slow down the playback if you want; I like this kind of stagnant situation. The market maker often hides the deepest during this time.

ngl tuesday's the only play here, rest of the week is basically dead weight. fed minutes dropping then liquidity just evaporates... classic setup for boring sideways action tbh

On Tuesday, ahead of the Federal Reserve minutes, take a position; other times just relax, there's not much market movement anyway.

Tuesday's Federal Reserve minutes are the real variable; other times of slacking off are just too genuine.

Tuesday's release of the minutes is the real showtime; other times, it's better to just sleep and save trouble.

Tuesday's Federal Reserve minutes are the real nuclear bomb; other times, the market is just slowing down. I'm just waiting for the rate cut expectations.

Before Tuesday's Federal Reserve minutes, everyone was just going along for the ride; liquidity was already tight, and now it's getting even more competitive.
