Trump recently signed an executive order requiring all U.S. federal government departments to be closed from December 24 to December 26, a full three days off. At first glance, this seems like a normal holiday schedule, but for financial markets, the impact is significant.

The key issue lies in data releases. The U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) has postponed crude oil and natural gas inventory data to next Monday and Tuesday, while U.S. initial unemployment claims data will be released tonight. Simply put, from these days until early next week, the "information lights" in the market are basically off. Without major macroeconomic data guidance, the crypto market enters a special vacuum period.

For the 24/7 cryptocurrency market, this kind of "pause in the traditional world" is quite interesting. Wall Street investment banks and hedge funds are on holiday, traders are fewer, and large orders are sparse. What is the direct consequence? Market depth becomes thinner. Prices that previously required large capital to move might now be influenced by small amounts, causing more volatility.

The liquidity vacuum combined with holiday atmosphere may lead to a noticeable increase in volatility. As institutions exit, retail traders might become more active—after all, the big players are on vacation. This mismatch often leads to dramatic scenarios in history: either unexpected extreme market moves or suppressed trends suddenly releasing.

In simple terms: in the coming days, the crypto market is likely to become a relatively independent trading environment. Without external data noise and heavy institutional participation, the market may reveal its true supply and demand. This is both a risk and an opportunity—depending on how you view this liquidity vacuum.
