#数字资产市场动态 Year-end institutional holidays, the market has indeed cooled down. Especially in the second half of last night, the market was uneventful, with hardly any significant fluctuations. The logic behind this is simple—during holidays, institutional investors are mostly not trading, and the market naturally falls into a state of silence. To wait for a real new trend to emerge, probably have to wait until after the New Year holiday. In the short term, sticking to the previous rhythm is still enough—grid or swing trading.
From the spot ETF capital perspective, BTC had a net outflow of $6.7 million in a single day, while ETH and SOL saw little inflow or outflow. This further confirms my judgment—institutions are on holiday, trading volume is sluggish, and the market is so quiet. Looking at the liquidation map, BTC, ETH, and SOL are all predominantly short positions with dense distribution, indicating that a large fluctuation could happen again in the short term. We need to be aware of this risk.
**BTC direction:** 86,500 can be used to build a position or buy on dips, add positions at 85,000, and take profits in batches at 88,000. Conversely, short at 88,500 or buy on dips, add at 90,000, with a take profit target of 86,500.
**ETH direction:** Build a position at 2,900 or enter on dips to go long, add at 2,830, and take profits in batches at 2,980. For short positions, enter at 3,000 or higher, add at 3,080, and take profits at 2,920.
**SOL direction:** Short at 125 or short on rallies, add at 130, and take profits at 120.
**A few reminders:** 1. Stop-loss levels should be set based on your liquidation point and the amount of loss you can tolerate—there's no fixed answer. 2. Don’t be greedy; take profits when you have them. Small losses are better than big losses. Never hold onto a losing position. If your direction judgment is correct, keep holding.

Institutions are all celebrating the New Year, while retail investors are still spinning in the grid, this is ridiculous.
Wait, what does 6.7 million in outflows mean? Feels like a dump? Or is this volume just not enough to matter?
SOL, this broken thing, started shorting at 125, that's a bit aggressive, I was still planning to buy the dip.

Institutions are really on holiday, no wonder the market has been dead these past two days, grid trading is keeping it alive...
Wait, why is there still no movement in ETH? Feels like I'm trapped.
I need to carefully observe the 86,500 level for BTC, or it would be gambling.
Shorting SOL at 125? Feeling a bit hesitant, better to watch first.
7 million outflows is not a small number, be careful not to get crushed.

Institutions are on holiday, and the market is paralyzed. This wave is indeed not interesting.
At this point, only we are probably still watching the market, haha.
---
86500 bottom buried BTC, just waiting for the explosion after New Year's Day.
---
I'm a bit hesitant about ETH's dense liquidation this wave, so I'll stick to grid trading for now.
---
Don't hold positions recklessly, really. Last time I was greedy and got wiped out. Now I just take profits when I see a little.
---
I have no confidence in shorting SOL. Feels like it could rebound at any time, too unruly.
---
Cold markets have their own strategies. Swing trading is enough; don't chase big trends.
---
Net outflow of 6.7 million? That confirms it even more—institutions are all eating, so we'll just keep lurking.

Holiday trading is like this; institutions are all going for the New Year, so we just need to be patient. Grid trading is indeed sufficient; don't think about getting rich overnight—that's just a dream.
---
670 million in outflows isn't that much; it feels like a concentrated short position is more dangerous, so be mentally prepared.
---
Yeah, I'll wait until after New Year's Day to make a move; acting too aggressively now could get me trapped.
---
Stop-loss really needs to be calculated clearly by yourself; don't copy others' numbers—that's a surefire way to get killed.
---
Is SOL heading down again this wave? I think there's still room for a rebound; it doesn't necessarily mean shorting at 125.
---
Profit and run—that's a good saying. I was greedy before and got liquidated directly; a bloody lesson.
---
Pay attention to the dense liquidation map; big swings can happen at any time, so get enough sleep.

Institutions are on holiday, so the market is cold. This wave is really uninteresting, let's wait until after New Year's Day.
I think this analysis is a bit conservative; BTC liquidation is quite intense, so you really need to be careful.
Grid trading sounds simple, but in practice, it really tests your mindset.
Recently, I can't quite understand this SOL asset; shorting at 125 feels a bit risky.
A net outflow of $6.7 million definitely indicates something, but I still want to wait for the year-end market.
Good point about stop-losses; not holding through the pain is truly a lesson learned the hard way.

Institutions are all on holiday, so retail investors have to figure things out on their own... Grid trading is really exhausting and not very rewarding, while swing trading feels more comfortable.
It's the old story of stop-losses again, but indeed most people can't do it. Everyone knows the consequences of holding through losses, but they just can't change.
The take-profit at 120 for SOL is a bit tight; with such frequent volatility, it's easy to get knocked out. I prefer to loosen it a bit.
BTC has a net outflow of $67 million, which doesn't look like a big number. It's more moderate than I expected... indicating that although institutions are resting, they haven't significantly withdrawn.
The area of frequent liquidations needs to be taken seriously, as it can easily trigger large fluctuations. Maintaining a sense of reverence in the short term is very necessary.
