Looking at Ethereum's recent trend, the K-line almost shows no significant fluctuations—no obvious upper or lower shadows, and the volatility is suppressed tightly. This is a typical sign of the early stage of a bear market. Liquidity is particularly poor; if you open a position, you might hold it for a week without seeing any meaningful price movement. Bitcoin is relatively more resilient, but the problem lies in this timing—Christmas holidays, when major institutions are on break. The market lacks the participation of professional traders, making it feel like a headless fly, without any sense of rhythm. Under these conditions, any retail investor's operations seem somewhat feeble and powerless.

During the Christmas holiday, institutions are taking a break, while retail investors are messing around here—it's really outrageous.

Liquidity is so poor that I really don't dare to open positions. Last time I tried to buy in during a similar market situation, the Uniswap loss directly wiped out my gains, a painful lesson. The fact that institutions are on holiday really turns the market into a dead water. Even the best arbitrage opportunities have no takers. It's better to wait and see for now. Don't be fooled by Bitcoin still holding up; this is the most deceptive part of the early bear market. Retail investors rushing in are almost certainly going to be the ones to take the hit. --- Let's wait until institutions come back; entering now is just giving money to others. --- With the candlestick being suppressed like this, I'd rather mine for APY than fight with liquidity here. --- Honestly, the Christmas season market should just be resting. Those forcing trades are probably engaging in suicidal trading.

Wow, using Christmas holiday as an excuse is really clever. The institutions slack off, and we still have to take the blame.
