Although UNI experienced market fluctuations during the recent US Christmas holiday, the real opportunity may not come until late January 2026. This time window is crucial—European and American funds generally enter a rest period from Christmas to New Year's Day, with market liquidity significantly decreasing. This is also why major policy announcements and large fund movements usually avoid this period.
What’s more worth noting is that next week, the Trump administration is expected to announce the new Federal Reserve Chairperson. This news could become an important catalyst for the January market. The Federal Reserve’s policy direction often directly influences the risk appetite of the cryptocurrency market, and the appointment of a new chair usually involves a re-pricing of policy expectations.
In the short term, the tight liquidity during the rest period may suppress the performance of liquidity tokens like UNI, but it also indicates that institutional investors are accumulating. When the market reopens in January, especially after the confirmation of the Federal Reserve’s policy signals, a new market rhythm may emerge.

Wait, January 2026? Dude, are you time traveling haha
---
We definitely need to keep an eye on the change of Federal Reserve Chair, but the excuse of liquidity tightening is always the same...
---
Accumulating just to cut? I think so
---
I've heard this logic too many times, and next time it'll be another excuse
---
Let's not talk about the January market rhythm for now, can I still hold my UNI?
---
Institutions are accumulating, retail investors are getting shaken out, old tricks again
---
If we really have to wait until January... I’m afraid I won’t be able to hold my UNI until then

Christmas market closure is indeed a trap, but let's wait and see the actions of the new Federal Reserve Chair in January.
Institutions are holding back big moves; it all depends on how they set the tone.
UNI hasn't been interesting these days; liquidity is extremely poor.
It's not too late to jump in after the policy confirmation.

lol they're really trying to play this as some grand conspiracy with the fed chair drop as the catalyst... but nobody talks about the sandwich attacks happening *right now* in the liquidity void? classic misdirection while institutions quietly frontrun retail into the new year trap

You're telling stories again. Will it really explode in January?
---
Liquidity crunch is the easiest time to be harvested. Be careful, everyone.
---
Can the Federal Reserve Chair really determine the rise and fall of the crypto market? Wake up.
---
Instead of waiting for January, why not take advantage of the dip now.
---
Good explanation, but I still don't believe it. History always tricks us like this.
---
After accumulating for so long, why haven't we seen any results yet?
---
This wave of UNI feels like it has no momentum.
---
Will smart money really tell us its plans? Haha.
---
Let's wait and see. Anyway, there's no rush in these few weeks.
