On December 24, I impulsively bought some AERO. To my surprise, it soared for no apparent reason. I sold it just before Christmas Eve dinner started—and that dinner ended up being paid for by pure luck. So, emboldened by that success, I tried again on December 25 with APT and NEAR. This time? Not so lucky. I’m still holding those bags and wondering if it’ll turn around.

Why the inconsistency? Because during the holiday season, there’s no clear trend. The usual market dynamics are skewed, and professional traders—those who set the tone—are often on vacation. The result? An unpredictable, volatile market driven more by retail traders and low-volume pumps than by fundamentals.

So, is it worth trading crypto over the holidays? Or is it just a gamble where luck, rather than skill, rules the game? I’m curious to hear if you've had any holiday trading stories—wins or losses. Let’s share our experiences and insights.
