Christmas has come to an end, but the market's hangover hasn't woken up yet. Today is December 28th, caught in the awkward gap between the holiday and the New Year. Looking at the current BTC trend, it perfectly illustrates what is called "Holiday Syndrome."



Reflecting on the critical analysis before Christmas, BTC failed to break through the $90,000 mark, and the subsequent rebound around $87,000 was deemed a textbook "bearish retest trap." In hindsight, this judgment indeed saved many people. Now, $90,000 has become the most difficult ceiling to break this winter.

What is the current market situation? Simply put, it's a game of dialogue between robots and robots.

First, there is a liquidity vacuum period. Major institutional traders in Europe and America are on vacation, and the real funds in the market are scarce. Second, those frequent jittery fluctuations on the chart are mainly quant bots trading among themselves in an order book lacking depth. During such periods, technical patterns are most likely to deceive—breakouts look like false breakouts, and breakdowns look like false breakdowns.

But don't completely let your guard down. When liquidity is extremely scarce, the risk is at its highest. The year-end closing effect may cause funds to adjust their positions in the last two days, possibly leading to an unanticipated rapid surge or plunge. The surface may seem calm, but undercurrents are surging.

The data shows that these past two days, robots have been trading against each other, and the real funds have already fled. Hang on a bit longer; during the year-end closing days, there will definitely be an unanticipated rapid sell-off. I am mentally prepared for it.

90,000 really became a mental barrier. Robots are much better at fake trading than we are. During these few days of the holiday, there's basically no way to monitor the market.

Holiday market trends are like this. When will the 90,000 barrier finally be broken? It feels like we've been repeatedly harvested by robots.

Robots are trading with each other, and our group of retail investors is just here to watch the show, haha

Robots are colluding to manipulate orders among themselves, we're just watching the show—it's truly outrageous. Why is the 90,000 threshold so hard to break through?
