Christmas trading day crypto market trading volume drops by 30%, many people joke that the main players are on holiday and retail investors are playing, but this saying cannot be trusted.

Careful observation reveals two easily overlooked details: a stablecoin issuer added over 500 million USDT to circulation yesterday, which is no coincidence; the signs of funds quietly entering are very clear. At the same time, the put-call ratio in the BTC options market has risen directly from 0.8 to 1.2, indicating that big players are secretly positioning. Meanwhile, the large futures settlement tomorrow happens to be the "harvesting opportunity" for these funds.

Recently, there has been a wave of claims that "Christmas consumption weakness suppresses the market."

You're saying no one is trading because of declining volume? Wake up. A sudden appearance of 500 million USDT is no coincidence. Do big players all take "vacations" like this?

Trading volume declining? I don't think it's a rest; it's holding back a big move. 500 million USDT appearing out of nowhere—what a coincidence, haha. Wait, before tomorrow's settlement, with this rhythm... I feel a bit uneasy.

A total of 500 million USDT appeared out of nowhere, this guy's eyesight is really sharp --- Bullish from 0.8 to 1.2? Big players are setting traps for retail investors --- It's that same old story of "main force taking a break," if you really believe it, you're done for --- Regarding the timing of the harvest, being too obvious makes it suspicious --- We need to stay steady on the day of futures settlement, the real show hasn't started yet --- A decline in trading volume might actually be a hint? Feels a bit off --- The sudden surge in USDT is definitely worth pondering --- Can big players secretly positioning be so easily seen? Kinda suspicious --- This timing is too perfect, under the guise of Christmas, it's all just tricks --- I don't believe the main force is taking a break, but I also don't fully buy your analysis

Trading volume declining? I think it's just a shakeout; the main players never take a break, they're just shifting to another place to continue cutting.

500 million USDT appears out of nowhere, this guy's eyesight is really something, retail investors simply can't see through it --- Wait, is the bullish to bearish ratio just from 0.8 to 1.2? Isn't it obvious that someone is setting a trap? --- Holiday? Nonsense, big players are not sleeping at all, we're still playing with options --- I've heard the "harvesting timing" theory too many times, but this time the data is indeed a bit strange --- Here we go again with the story, 500 million USDT, options ratio, settlement date... everything is too coordinated --- Basically, retail investors are still sleepwalking, big players have already grabbed their positions

Main players on holiday? Haha, you all haven't even seen the news about the 500 million USDT, that's really outrageous.
