The S&P and Dow Jones both hit new records yesterday, and the "Santa Claus rally" on Wall Street arrived as expected. But something interesting happened—the crypto concept stocks, which usually move in tandem with the broader market, surprisingly lagged behind.
Looking at yesterday's market performance makes it clear. Traditional blue chips were lively, with Apple rising 0.53%, and Micron soaring 3.77%. The AI hardware narrative remains hot. But what about the crypto sector? MSTR only barely increased by 0.53%, COIN simply fell 1.06%, and BMNR fared even worse, plunging 1.41%. This "divergence" is definitely not a coincidence.
Institutional calculations are clear—since the US government is on a three-day holiday, liquidity will be tight. Instead of passively enduring high volatility before and after the holiday, it’s better to adjust positions in advance to avoid risks. All of this points to one conclusion: the crypto market has officially entered a "vacuum period."
The key question now is: how will BTC behave in this situation? Will it seize the opportunity of Wall Street's "absence" to make a rally? Or will it face hunting in the liquidity vacuum? There’s no standard answer in the short term, but one thing is certain—the trend over these three days could very well mark a turning point for the year-end market.

Here we go again with this move? COIN has fallen below the psychological price level, and institutions are really scared. Clearing out before the holiday is an old trick.

Institutions suddenly run away, leaving us trembling in a vacuum. This move is really brilliant.

It's the familiar routine again: as liquidity dries up, they start hunting. Casinos are always casinos.

I'm panicking when COIN drops by 1 point. How are you so calm?

The three-day holiday is really crucial. Hold on to your BTC and don't get washed out.

Apple hardware is booming, but COIN is falling. It shows that the institutional players inside the market are already tired of it. LOL

Vacuum period? I see this as an opportunity for institutions to secretly build positions, and retail investors being scared away is actually a good thing.
A 1-point drop in COIN doesn't bother us at all. Holidays are always like this; let's see who can hold out until the New Year.

This move by the institutions is truly ruthless. They started exiting early before the holiday, leaving retail investors behind to get caught.
