According to ChainCatcher reports, data analysis indicates that due to the U.S. Thanksgiving holiday, this week’s trading markets in the United States are expected to undergo significant adjustments. The U.S. stock market will be closed, and the bond market is also expected to be affected, which could have a ripple effect on the cryptocurrency derivatives market.

US Trading Hours Significantly Reduced

On Thursday, November 28th, next year, both the U.S. stock and bond markets will be closed all day. Additionally, on Friday, November 29th, they will close early. Investors should prepare trading strategies in advance due to these holiday schedules.

Early Closure of Futures Markets

Futures contracts for precious metals, crude oil, foreign exchange, and stock indices under the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME), as well as Brent crude oil futures on the Intercontinental Exchange (ICE), will all close early on November 28th and 29th. In particular, various derivatives trading, including Bitcoin futures, is scheduled to close ahead of the regular timetable.

Urgent Preparation Needed for Cryptocurrency Investors

The reduction in trading hours may lead to decreased market liquidity and increased volatility. Cryptocurrency investors are strongly advised to close positions and develop risk management plans in advance. Especially for those holding futures positions, they should prepare for market gaps during the holiday period and consider variables during the U.S. stock market holiday to ensure cautious asset allocation.
