There is no fixed annual rule for BTC price behavior around Christmas. Historically, movements during this period depend far more on the broader market cycle than on the holiday itself
In bull or post-halving phases, Christmas has often coincided with upside continuation or high-level consolidation. Examples include 2017, 2020, and 2024, where positive sentiment and thinner year-end liquidity supported higher prices
Recovery phases like 2019 and 2023 also showed constructive price action as confidence returned
In contrast, during deep bear markets such as 2018 and 2022, Christmas aligned with continued downside or cycle lows, driven by risk-off behavior and capitulation
Transitional periods like 2021 reflected distribution and early trend reversal, reinforcing that Christmas is not a catalyst on its own$BTC
