As December comes to an end, Ethereum's market begins to show some volatility. Industry insiders point out that there is a "pattern" at play behind this timing.

Institutional investors tend to start withdrawing at the end of the year. With the holidays approaching, large funds are watching from the sidelines, unwilling to expose their positions during this window. The real market movers are actually quantitative programs and various trading bots—they never rest, operating 24/7, and have become the main drivers of market trends. Coupled with year-end tax-related stop-loss selling, these factors together make short-term ETH price fluctuations unavoidable.

But from another perspective, this short-term agitation doesn't change the long-term logic. As long as the fundamentals remain intact, volatility is normal. Instead of being scared by daily charts, it's better to look further ahead. Stay calm and hold on to what you should.
