The whole holiday and banks fallacy

[accord01]

I'm hearing a lot of people saying that bitcoin might tank during the holidays because people need money for gifts.  One bitcoin = 800$.  Daily volume is like 80k coins per exchange.  One bitcoin would be plenty to take care of everyone within one's immediate family for gifts.  If people have the money to invest over 1k, they have the ability to come up with $500-1000 for the holidays.

Also people are saying how banks are closed during holidays.  Here is the average banks holiday schedule:

11/28 - Thanksgiving Closed

12/25 - Christmas Closed

as far as I know some exchanges (everyone?) are processing fiat manually and they are not doing it at weekends.
