Bitcoin has been hovering around the key level of 87,500 today, with little clear direction. The US stock market is also closed in the evening session, and market liquidity is noticeably lacking. Traders can only watch the charts and pass the time.

From the data, today's volatility is indeed limited—lows touching 87,300, highs only reaching 88,000, with an intraday range of about 700 points. Such market conditions are really exhausting for short-term traders; a few hundred points of movement hardly mean anything.

Instead of forcing trades now, it's better to rest and recharge. During these days of New Year's Day, everyone can relax a bit, and when the US stock market reopens, we can make plans. Market activity will pick up then, and real trading opportunities will emerge. For now, consider this a buffer period—resting and conserving energy is the wise choice.

Just grind away at it, since there's really no room for action in this market wave. I've already laid back. The US stock market is like this when it doesn't open—just staring at the charts in frustration. Might as well go celebrate the New Year. Wait a bit, it'll be over soon. Why rush?

According to the database, this 700-point fluctuation "market" has been postponed to day n with no progress, and it has been a full trading day since the last directional promise. It is recommended to include this in the Guinness World Records for the "Longest Procrastination" project. --- Again "saving energy and waiting for the US stocks," this project’s design is truly artistic. How many times has the postponement notice been issued? Please feel free to add data. --- Repeated attempts at the 87,500 level sound quite familiar. The last time was also so repeated, and what was the outcome? --- Lack of liquidity is just traders' holiday. I'm a bit curious about how long this buffer period will last. --- 700-point volatility feels like nothing has moved. Just treat everyone as on vacation; anyway, it’s idle time. --- Hard drives are still resting; it seems that choosing any now would be a loss. Better to drink tea and wait for the flowers to bloom. --- Every time, it’s said that "the real opportunity is in the next phase." The art of timing is indeed a skill. --- Really treating wasting time as a strategy, that perspective is quite novel.

I'm exhausted. With only a 700-point fluctuation, this is called a market? It's just a waste of energy. Wait for the US stock market to open. Watching the market now is just asking for fatigue. Isn't the New Year's Day holiday enjoyable? Yet, I insist on fighting this lousy price level. The 87500 level is really stubborn, endless grinding. Better to sleep. When I wake up, I'll see if there's a real opportunity.

Dragging my feet, with only 700 points of fluctuation, what's the point of playing? Really, these days I should just take a break.

700-point fluctuation, are you kidding me? This market is really dead boring. Wait for the US stock market to open; watching the market now is just torturing myself. Just rest honestly on New Year's Day, no need to worry over a few hundred points' movement. Struggling over the 87,500 level for so long, it's not worth it. Let's call it quits. With such poor liquidity, short-term traders really should take a break. Rest up and regain strength.

Working so slowly that I'm even tired, a 700-point fluctuation can't be played at all. Wait for the US stock market to open; this market is just tormenting short-term traders. Just take a break and rest, there's no point wasting energy here. Just lie low these two days; the real opportunities are still ahead. If there's no liquidity, don't force it; conserving energy and strength is the way to go.

An amplitude of 787, I really can't play anymore, might as well sleep. With this liquidity, it's almost the same as a salted fish. The US stock market is closed, so it's a waste of time. Wait for the US stock market, right now the hard drive is meaningless. Happy New Year! Rest well and recharge, that's the way to go. This wave is indeed a buffer period, there are no real opportunities. Spending half a day here at 87,500, I'm really exhausted.

Dragging things out is really impressive; a 700-point fluctuation still isn't enough to cover my fees. Waiting for the US stock market to open; right now, it's just a waste of time. Better to just take a holiday and rest up—recharging is the real key.
