Once the Christmas holiday ended, the market was caught off guard by a sudden crash. Bitcoin and the US stock market both plummeted. From this perspective, there is still some kind of correlation between the two — only the decline in the US stock market was significantly more exaggerated, with Bitcoin showing relative resilience.

This kind of market condition can be explained by liquidity exhaustion. Frankly speaking, these "unexplained" drops are often caused by investor sentiment playing tricks. What is the market reflecting? It reflects the traditional investment community's attitude towards cryptocurrencies — politely, they are holding reservations; harshly, they simply look down on them.

In the short term, this emotional suppression is hard to dissipate. When liquidity is tight, who runs the fastest? It is always those assets considered "high risk." Cryptocurrencies are at the forefront. However, based on historical experience, such moments are often signals of extreme sentiment.

Bitcoin's resilience indeed refutes many claims that the "crypto market is collapsing." By the way, this wave of liquidity tightening feels like a signal before a harvest of retail investors. It's just emotional manipulation. It's normal for traditional finance folks to look down on us, but anyone with a bit of brains knows that this is the time to get on board. Historical experience is clear: after each extreme emotion, it's the night before a turnaround. It all depends on who has the courage to endure this tough period. The philosopher of impermanence and loss: Just wait, short-term suppression does not equal long-term trend. This is what I often call the "emotion cycle." Honestly, the fact that the US stock market has fallen more sharply than BTC actually gives me confidence, indicating that the crypto ecosystem has developed independent resilience.

Uh, this move is really outrageous. Right after the holiday ends, they dump the market. Traditional capital's tactics are truly old-fashioned. Bitcoin's resilience seems okay, but the decline in the US stock market is truly desperate. The emotional side can't be suppressed. When funds tighten, they start offloading high-risk assets. We're always the first to be dumped. Speaking of which, if you had entered the market at this time, you would have known you were going to make a profit. Historical experience is just so mysterious.

Here we go again? Every holiday, I have to get a brutal beating before I feel better. It's ridiculous, the decline in US stocks is even worse than BTC. Traditional finance isn't really superior after all. The emotional suppression can't be resolved in the short term, but isn't this the perfect time to get in... All historical lessons seem to have been forgotten, right?

Coming back to harvest profits after Christmas, how many times has this trick been played... Traditional finance looks down on us, and when the time comes to buy the dip, they act like nothing happened.
