Year-end trading wisdom: if your portfolio isn't in the green right now, don't sweat it. Take a step back, do a real audit of your strategy, and think about what actually worked versus what didn't.
There's always that urge to jump in with fresh "resolutions" and new game plans the moment 2026 kicks off. Totally get it. But here's the thing—holiday season typically means thinner liquidity and lower trading volume across most markets. That's not exactly the environment where you want to force positions.
Wait for the volume to come back. Let the market find solid footing again. Sometimes the best trade is the one you don't make.

Typical sucker mentality, reflecting on life after a loss at the end of the year. I tell you, just look at the chip distribution and trading volume to understand that those entering the market now are all destined to be played for suckers.
Wait, the market sentiment indicators show that liquidity is indeed shrinking. This is true, but most people simply can't wait and insist on going all in during the holidays, which is quite brave.
The pattern has formed, but the bottom signals are still not clear enough. My suggestion is, instead of rushing to change strategies, it’s better to first look at the candlestick history. Interesting price points will always come back, and greedy people will never wait.

Oh no, it's that saying again: "The best trade is no trade." I've heard it a hundred times, but it really works.

The holiday plummet is truly a killer for newbies, with liquidity being so poor, and still insisting on buying the dip, no wonder there's a loss.
---
Stop, stop, stop, I just want to ask—when will the volume recover? Haven't we already reached 2026?
---
Selling suggestions, but to be honest, most people simply can't wait, they panic when they see a fall.
---
Not in profit? My long-term bullish friends are not afraid of this at all, they’re just lying down anyway.
---
"Reviewing strategies" sounds nice, but in reality, everyone knows what their issues are, yet they can't change.
---
Scary, this low liquidity during the holidays is truly a trap, how many people got trapped.

Haha, you're absolutely right. At the end of the year, this restlessness really needs to be restrained.
Not trading is the best trade; I agree with that.
