Interesting phenomenon: the stock market still operates during holidays. Many people don't know that the first trading day after Christmas is often a good trading day. According to historical statistics, the S&P 500 index usually performs well on December 26th.

But there's a catch—trading volume drops significantly. The total trading volume on the four major exchanges on December 26th is about 29% lower than on normal trading days. That is, although the gains may be good, market participation is noticeably lacking. What does this mean? Higher liquidity risk, and price volatility may be more intense. For traders, holiday trading should be approached with caution.

Oh no, this trap is too classic. Rebounds with low trading volume are the easiest to get caught off guard.

I knew it, the price did go up on December 26th, but looking at the trading volume, it was just shocking—hardly anyone participated. To put it simply, holiday market trends are just a fake boost. The real experts are all resting at this time, while retail investors are hyped up, and then a piece of bad news hits and causes a bloodbath. Never underestimate liquidity—it's the real killer. When there's no one to take the other side of the trade, things get really ugly. Do you really have to trade during this time? Isn't it better to wait for normal trading days?

Low liquidity increases in value are useless; a big order can smash it down.

Holiday market gains look good, but trading volume shrinks. Isn't this just false prosperity, easily leading to a dump?

Holiday market gains look good, but trading volume shrank by 29%... Isn't this just a false boost? Once liquidity issues arise, liquidation can happen in minutes.

The market on December 26th looks like it's going up, but with such low trading volume, it feels like playing with fire... Poor liquidity and spread differences could trap people alive.
