New Year's Day is approaching, and Bitcoin has been performing quite steadily recently—fluctuating mainly within the 865-900 range. As a spot investor, these days are spent moving back and forth within this box, with liquidity indeed limited during the holiday period, trading volume has significantly shrunk, and market participation has decreased.

Speaking of which, the crypto market used to behave differently during holidays. Back then, the market was still booming and trading was hot during holidays. Now, it has taken on a different flavor—when the holiday comes, the futures market becomes a harvest ground for the big players, with prices being pushed up and then slammed down, and retail investors becoming the main targets of harvesting.

From a technical perspective, Bitcoin repeatedly confirms this position, which can be understood as preparing for an upward attack, but it also does not rule out the possibility of a downward reversal. Recently, gold prices suddenly declined, which is an important signal. If funds do not flow back into Bitcoin in the next few days, coupled with a correction in the US stock market, Bitcoin may not withstand the pressure and could drop sharply.

For friends trading futures, a warning must be issued—don't get eaten up by the big players back and forth. The correct way to trade futures is to operate with small funds, investing only what you can afford to lose, which will keep your mindset more stable. Those who make big money are never relying on leverage but on solid technical skills and psychological resilience. Many people are full of confidence in their words, but their actual trading ability cannot keep up, and their dreams can only remain dreams. With small funds and strong technical skills, you can still achieve impressive results.
