The year-end market is here. According to the latest report from PA News, after entering the Christmas holiday, the precious metals market has actually heated up—a rare occurrence with gold, silver, and platinum all reaching new historical highs, which is quite interesting.

The logic behind this is actually simple: with the New Year's Day holiday approaching, global financial markets have fallen into "hibernation," liquidity has dried up to the extreme, and trading volume is far below normal levels. In this vacuum state, funds either cling to precious metals for safe-haven purposes or bounce around in the crypto market.

Speaking of cryptocurrencies, the performance of major coins like $ETH, $SOL, and $ZEC is also worth noting. Low liquidity means volatility can be easily amplified, and this time of year often sees some unexpected market movements. Traders should be vigilant and manage their risk defenses.

ETH0,42%

SOL0,85%

ZEC10,13%

All the real money is rising, so why does it feel like crypto is the main course? When liquidity dries up, it all depends on who has a strong mindset. I also saw gold hit a new high, but I still bet on those few L1 coins to come up with some tricks. Low liquidity = big volatility. This is the easiest time to get cut, so I choose to lie flat. Everyone says it's a safe haven, but I think this is actually a good opportunity to position oneself. It all depends on whether you have the guts. Liquidity is truly incredible. Exchanges are half-dead, and this is exactly when big players like it the most. Bitcoin competing with gold for the market share? Laughable, their competitive logic is completely different, isn’t it? This kind of illusory market at the end of the year, everyone chasing after the bag-holders.

Gold hitting a new high, I knew something was going to happen. The crypto side is definitely going to have a riot. Funds are dancing wildly between precious metals and the crypto circle. This kind of market is the easiest to suffer losses in. When liquidity is low, it's the easiest to get trapped. People still daring to go all-in at the end of the year are really brave. Wait, if precious metals are rising so fiercely, it indicates that panic sentiment is fermenting. Is entering SOL and ETH now really to buy in or just to send people to their doom? I'm a bit unsure. Don't believe in this false prosperity at the end of the year. Protecting your positions is more important than anything else.

Gold reaching new highs doesn't surprise me, but the real brave ones are still willing to go all in at this time. Playing with coins in low liquidity is basically gambling on luck. --- Precious metals for safe haven, crypto battles—I'm not touching either, just watching the show. --- The end-of-year strange market is the easiest to get smashed, haha. --- So has the bottom been reached? Or is it still falling? I can't understand anymore. --- When liquidity dries up, it's time to hoard coins and stop trading, got it everyone? --- Gold has really become a retirement product, and it still relies on the crypto world to generate hype. --- Most people buying coins now are basically gamblers, no difference. --- The real test will come after the New Year's holiday; now it's too early to bet. --- No wonder recent coin prices are jumping around wildly; turns out liquidity is so poor, no wonder my orders are often smashed. --- It's so true—year-end financial market hibernation is when crypto hunters come out to play.
