December has always been the slow season—market liquidity dries up, volume gets lackluster, the whole scene feels sluggish. Nothing new there.

But flip back to early 2025: when the political winds shifted, FOMO kicked in hard. The reaction was immediate. Traders rushed back, volume surged, momentum returned. That's what happens when macro catalysts hit the market.

So here's the thing—if we get meaningful news on the global stage, we could see a similar spark. Market psychology doesn't change. Good headlines, fresh tailwinds, and suddenly everyone wants back in. The pattern's there if you're paying attention.

December is dead and dull. Isn't that obvious? It happens every year. I've known for a long time that as soon as policies change, the market goes crazy. This time is no exception. Good news is here, everyone wants to buy the dip. That's true, but in practice, most people still get caught off guard.

Damn, isn't this waiting for the wind to come? As soon as the policy changes, the weather will improve.

The story of liquidity exhaustion in December has been figured out long ago. The key is when macro catalysts will appear. --- The wave of policy shifts is evident—trading volume and on-chain activity have all rebounded. This is the most direct validation of the consensus mechanism. --- The question is, how long can the news momentum last? I can see the market psychology cycle clearly, but the durability depends on the stability of the nodes. --- Don't just focus on FOMO; you need to verify the true node distribution of trading counterparties. I've seen many false booms. --- Macro catalysts? Sounds good. In reality, it's about observing the speed at which market consensus is reached. I'm more concerned about whether the verification efficiency can sustain this wave of traffic.

macro catalysts are just the canary in the coal mine tbh. real question is whether the underlying protocol architecture holds up when retail fomo floods in again... historically that's where things get dicey
