During the Christmas holiday, the BTC price on a major exchange dropped to $24,111 and then instantly rebounded — it may look like random fluctuation, but it actually hides the truth of the market.
This is not a few minutes of low liquidity trading. When holidays lead to sluggish trading volume and sparse market participants, weak liquidity acts like a stretched string — even minor selling pressure can trigger intense volatility. Once arbitrageurs sense an opportunity, the price quickly bounces back.
This situation frequently occurs in holiday trading: it's not that the market "collapsed," but rather that insufficient participation causes microstructure imbalances. Understanding this is key to distinguishing between genuine trend reversals and liquidity traps.

The holiday weak liquidity tricks, someone always gets trapped. It's nothing more than big players placing orders to suck liquidity.

Liquidity is indeed thin during holidays, making it easy to get trapped; stay alert.

The idea that holidays have low liquidity is heard too often. The key question is who is taking advantage of the opportunity? The real opportunity always lies in the hands of the big players.

The holiday liquidity trap is really intense, a bunch of retail investors got slaughtered miserably.
