How is December market for y'all

[tvplus006]

December is the month you rest from trading. It's not a myth at all. From data, the month of december usually have lower liquidity and increased price swings.
If you trade in december, you need some kind of special treatment such as being more careful and trade lesser than usual. Therefore, I usually just skip it. Just not worth the effort.

December has actually come to an end, and as we can see, those traders who opened short positions in advance have recorded a good profit by the new year. Those who optimistically expected growth recorded losses or were liquidated altogether.

Trading can be profitable anytime be it holidays or not. December wouldn't change anything in the price movement of bitcoin. You can make profit on Christmas day if you choose to trade on that day and know what you're doing.

Trading is not easy as you think and very risky. Only trade with the amount of money that you can afford to lose and don't depend on luck.

Absolutely right, trading can be profitable if you have the right knowledge and experience in trading, as a result, you can make money by trading at any time. Although it is easy to say that making money by trading is easy, in reality making money by trading is not an easy task, it is a very risky task. All our money can be lost due to a small mistake, so by using the money we can lose, we reduce the financial risk. To be successful in trading, it is very important for a trader to have the right knowledge, patience, long time, money and market analysis skills, otherwise it is not possible to make money.

So what do you guys think about it, is it actually true or it's just an assumption.

The ups and downs in December are ending, so trading in this current situation is very risky. Especially new investors and new traders will definitely have a higher chance of losing money here, so it is better not to take trading in this difficult situation. Because it is very difficult to say which situation the market will move towards, if you want to guess, then you must understand the price movement of Bitcoin before taking trading. If you do not understand the price movement of Bitcoin, then you will never win in trading. So, guessing about the future is the most important thing before taking trading.

probably the best time to just enjoy the holidays and not stare at the screen 24/7, the market analysis skills you mentioned are great but sometimes the best skill is knowing when to stay out of a choppy market, if you make one small mistake in this thin liquidity you could lose your whole holiday budget in a single candle, happy holidays to the whole thread

If you can't afford to lose, it's best to stay away from the market for a while. Market movements have been so volatile lately that it's difficult to predict which direction the market will move, making it extremely risky for laypeople to invest in crypto under these circumstances. While the crypto market can generate profits under any circumstances, this only applies to those with market experience and skills, as for them, every market movement is sure to be a catalyst for continued profit-making through trading.

December market is always slow and without much volatilities because during that time many market participants are on holidays and those still active normally tone down their activities. In such market condition, scalping is the trading decision to do because the market often enter a range which lingers for some time. Such ranging markets are not perfect to trade because they are usually followed by breakouts, you don't want to be on the wrong side when such breakout happens to avoid getting liquidated.

Well, I am not trading myself. The market movement is not bothering me at all. I have recently transferred some of my funds to a CEX and sold part of it, while I still hold some Bitcoin. All I care about is the Bitcoin market. I don't think altcoins will move up anytime soon. Many of us have waited the entire 2025, but nothing actually happened. People like Trump created some scammy coins and scammed the average investors.

I don't remember what I did last December, but I am neutral this time. I am just waiting for the whales to move around so I can take some profit, which is why I moved my coins to CEX.

Cypto-wise it is quite boring. The action has moved to the precious metals. They went nuts especially this month. Look at silver, it hit $70/ounce recently. Gold is almost $4500/ounce. These are crazy numbers when you think about where the prices were at last year.

Btc is doing not bad around $87k but it is kind of disappointing to see it below $100k. I somehow thought $100k was the floor for a while but i guess the roas to $1 million won’t be that easy.

Altcoins again getting hammered on there isn’t much there to talk about. They are done. Cooked. Stick a fork in them and see if they are dead.

December is not good for me because I lost some money. I don't know about others but that is what I get. I hope next year will be good for me so I can recover and get back to making a profit. Although there is no guarantee, I hope that it really happens so I can exit the market after taking the profit.

In trading, I lose and profit but after checking my position, I still lose and I want to recover my loss. I am still trying to trade but this time, I will be careful to select the coin and the position to enter and exit the market.

Hey guys,
As the topic says how Is December market for y'all, I have heard alot if traders tell me that it is not good to trade in December, especially the forex market, because it is not balance and you are at risk of more SL's
but I do feel that it's just a myth and it's not actually A real thing, I feel the market is the same as other month, the only difference is the holidays

So what do you guys think about it, is it actually true or it's just an assumption.

We can give a try to some selected pairs for a reason but now we can't take risk because anything can ahppen with the market like it can take a huge dump or it can pump too but the chances for the bear market are high and we need a very small reason to start a chain reaction that will push people to sell their assets that's why we can assume here, we have to be sure and confident of our trades.

That's why I said we should only focus on small trades like short term but if we are planning to long trade now, that is not the right time because the next month can be the start of bear market.

Unlike other markets, crypto market is open 24/7/365 and we have the leverage to trade at any time. Those who are short term trader can earn profit on any day, even in bearish market but you need to be an experienced trader to do that. Trading is a risky stuff and even experienced traders at times find it difficult to handle risk associated with crypto trading. Before entering trading, one must fully understand it's underlying risks because you can't handle risks if you don't have prior knowledge of them.

I am just curious to know about what were the other months in this year where you ended up in profits. I mean, if you are a trader then I am sure you must lose some money in a month after calculating your total profits and losses overall. If you are a long term holder and you are mentioning about the floating losses due to the recent downfall of bitcoin market, then I am sure that you can turn into profits if you keep continue to hold.

I am just happy about this December month because I have been gabbing some bitcoin at cheaper prices compared to what I did in last few months. If you are into DCA, I am sure that you must have found this month as good in terms of bitcoin investment.

It depends on the trader whether he can make a profit or not. There are many professional traders who can make a profit in all months and in any situation. They do not have a fixed time or month or week or day. Those who trade with assumptions and cannot analyze the market well, they only lose in any situation because nothing happens correctly based on assumptions.

Some traders usually have their worst time in trading in some particular month and since December is a month of much concern, many have already depicted it to be a month of losses for many traders where in the real sense it is never like that. Any month can be the worst month of trading for a trader depending on the situation of the market at that time and how he’s able to use that situation to his advantages, that’s what differs trading for some people in different months. If there is a change in the nature of the market, one just needs to calm down, study it better in order to make more decisive trades in the market that will end in their favour. I don’t believe the narrative that December is a month where most traders hit SL more.

Prices changing way too much for my taste. I already accepted that we are at the start of the bear run, whenever the price dropped under 100k, I knew that we are not going to get a bull run again, that was it and we had it in October and we are not going to get more of it. So even if we are at bear run, why do we have to keep seeing the price be volatile this much and constantly go up and down so much? That makes no sense to me and I am wishing to see it change to a better price level hopefully.

Doesn't mean it has to go up, the price can drop, I am fine with that, but it should drop without this much volatility and change in the price. That would make it better for us and we can have a better deal for the long term.

I am not a Forex trader; hence, I don't know how it's going. Since you made the post in the crypto forum, my answer will be based on the crypto. It's as usual when the market dump holders also dump. There would be two different scenarios: holders dump during a bear, and it's accumulation time as well. Those who aren't holding or have enough funds, then bear time would be the best time to invest. So this December seems bear for me; the market is not moving upwards, and the bear is stronger.

but I do feel that it's just a myth and it's not actually A real thing, I feel the market is the same as other month, the only difference is the holidays

So what do you guys think about it, is it actually true or it's just an assumption.

It doesn't matter actually what the month is; the fact is it's dump month. There would be another reason for a holiday, but the market seems to be in a dump from November as well. So we can't say the current dump is due to the holiday anyway. It's over all market sentiment, and it depends on the traders' demand. For me, it was a bad time since I am a holder, and I dare to accumulate more right now. Because I assume the market would dump more before breaking another ATH of Bitcoin.

We can learn about Bitcoin market history, have knowledge about market history in order to make our financial plan, investment plan and trading plan. Market history is good foundational factor for our plan in this market but basically the market is unpredictably and we should have different plans, like what will we do if history repeats, and more important what will we do with plan B or even plan C if history won't repeat this time.

We also must have plans for what will we do if our original trading plan does not result in profit. If we trade in spot, and the trading position is not profitable, we can cancel our order, and withdraw our bitcoins to non custodial wallets and wait for market recovery or completion of a bear market, then better prices for taking profit in a next bull run. This will help us getting profit, but we must have plans for it, and the practice needs time so our finance must be prepared well for having enough money during a bear market.

It is definitely a good time for investors to buy if they have reserve funds available. The market is not tired after going through a decline throughout the month. The expectation was that the last quarter would give a positive message to investors and show a bullish trend but the market is still moving in the opposite direction.

I think that since December is the last month of the year, cash funds are needed for purchasing real assets or for family purchases, so there may be some liquidity shortage in the market. There is a tendency for withdrawals compared to capital inflows.

Smart investors increase accumulation this month in the hope of high profits.

The entire world's economy is unstable at the moment. But for this December, it's been sluggish for me. Not that a lot of trades to be done and I guess that it's also the month to slow down and reflect since it's the holidays.

For this same reason that we have entered into bearish conditions in all last 4 year cycle of bitcoin market. December month is known for switching of trend and when market is trading without any clear indication for direction, many traders will stay away from the market which result in rangebound conditions. We can expect this to continue till the first week of every new year.

Smart investors increase accumulation this month in the hope of high profits.

If you have done this in bitcoin market by 2013 or 2017 or 2021, you might have bankrupted by this time by unable to manage the 80% downfall. Never increase your accumulations when market not showing any clear trend. DCA may help you but phasing DCA at bearish market may help you to boost your accumulation cost.

We are see market situation which is low and we are not watching big news because all big politicians are not giving any comments about cryptocurrency market and when they will give comments then we will see change in the market.  We are watching huge dump in the market because once a time when people were seeing the market at top and we saw huge pump in the market and market situation was good. Big investors took exit at that time and many investors came in the market and they invested at high price and now they are depressed because market is very low . Forex trading is not any easy for any person and people are earning and losing at that platform and strong learning in required for that .
