Today is December 23rd. As the end of the year approaches and the Western Christmas holiday is near, this usually means a depletion of Liquidity and a lull in the market for the global financial markets.
At this special juncture, we are no longer talking about "offense", but rather about "closing" and "defense".
As the clock strikes December 23, the noise of the market has actually begun to tone down. Wall Street traders are preparing to close their computers and head off for the holidays, while mainstream funds are quietly leaving the market. At this time, the occasional sharp fluctuations on the market are often not the beginning of a trend, but rather a "false drop" or "trap for the bulls" caused by a lack of Liquidity.
For traders, these days are a great test of human nature. If you have had outstanding results this year, you might be overly confident and trying to "add icing on the cake"; if your performance this year has not been ideal, you might be feeling desperate and wanting to "make a comeback against all odds."
But remember, dancing on thin ice is never a wise move. At this moment, the most important thing is not to earn the last penny, but to protect the results you've fought for throughout the year, through wind and rain. Don't let your hard work of over three hundred days go to waste in these final three days due to a moment of impulsiveness.
Let go of your obsessions, as it is also a trading strategy. Go back and review, summarize, and prepare for next year's spring, rather than blindly shooting in the snowy ground of winter.
The last few days of the year are often not for creating miracles, but for guarding the achievements. Remember, do not let the harvest of the year be lost to the final impulse.
