Why the market slows down before Christmas moves 🎄
This is very normal and very important to understand.
Before Christmas (and big holidays), big players step back:
Banks, funds, institutions reduce activity
Volume drops
Liquidity becomes thin
When liquidity is low, the market doesn’t trend smoothly.
Instead, it moves slow, choppy, and confusing.
What actually happens behind the scenes:
Smart money closes positions before holidays
They take profits and reduce risk
Market goes into a pause / compression phase
This “slowdown” is not weakness — it’s preparation.
After the holiday:
Fresh money comes back
Liquidity returns
Market makes sharp, fast moves (up or down)
That’s why you often see:
Slow candles
Fake moves
Sudden spikes after silence
Pro tip:
During holiday markets, don’t overtrade.
Wait for clear levels, trade smaller size, and be patient.
The real move usually comes after the quiet.
