The market has been unusually quiet lately. With Christmas approaching, major cryptocurrencies haven't moved much—no significant gains or drops. Popular assets like Ethereum, Solana, and KITE have been barely noticeable these days.

What could be the reason? Are everyone collectively waiting and watching, or are they waiting for a major policy to be implemented? Or is it the end-of-year liquidity crunch, with institutions on holiday? Market silence often means the calm before the storm. Sometimes, the lack of volatility tests your mindset even more—can you find opportunities in this calm, or will anxiety just overwhelm you? At such times, it's better to stay calm and think about where the next market trigger might come from.

Silence isn't necessarily a good thing; I think it just means no one dares to move. Waiting for the New Year to see if it suddenly takes off. I hate this kind of calm the most; I'd rather see a big drop. The liquidity situation is indeed tight, but the opportunities are also here. Solana has been unusually quiet these past two days, which is a bit abnormal. Staying calm is necessary, but without coins in hand, I can't stay calm. Could the next explosive point still be AI coins?

Uh... is this what you call "eerily quiet"? I think it's just the eve of institutions starting to harvest the leeks; the deeper it gets, the more dangerous it becomes. Wait, is KITE this broken thing also considered an active asset? It cracks me up. This project should have gone to zero long ago. Tight liquidity at the end of the year? No, it should be the main players holding back big moves, or maybe no one is willing to take the bait anymore... Don't buy into the idea of "calm before the storm"; that's just an excuse to harvest the leeks. The best thing to do in such times is to stay away from the death spiral and not be fooled by anxiety.

I've been waiting these days too, feeling like all coins are pretending to be dead It's really the calm before the storm, can't hold back the surge Institutions are on holiday, retail investors are trembling During Christmas time, big funds indeed love to slack off Rather than worrying, it's better to hold steady, the next wave will be fierce This is the toughest test of human nature, the enemies who can't stop refreshing K-line charts Can't fall, can't rise, this kind of market is the most annoying Just watch and wait, anyway I have no cash left End-of-year institutions are on holiday, I believe this explanation, so I'll wait a bit longer

Damn, this wave of silence is a bit scary, feels like it's going to explode --- ETH and SOL haven't reacted, really can't hold on anymore --- Still this cold on Christmas Eve, end-of-year funds are indeed tight --- No point in watching, should have gotten in earlier --- The calm before the storm, I bet this wave will surge strongly --- Institutions are probably on holiday, waiting for them to come back and liquidate retail investors --- Mindset is the key, don't cut if you can avoid it, let's wait and see --- This sense of silence is more uncomfortable than a limit-down, really --- Feels like either a big rise or a big fall, no middle ground --- Before policies are implemented, everything is at bargain prices, buy in --- It's so quiet at the end of the year, only hope it's not the calm before zeroing out --- The opportunity is indeed there, just depends on who can withstand this anxiety --- KITE hasn't moved at all, total annihilation?
