Yep, many experienced traders avoid trading during holidays. The market tends to be less liquid, with lower volume and higher spreads, which can make price movements more unpredictable.

I think not just “generally” but “universally”.

I’m saying that I think not just “most” but maybe “all” experienced traders avoid the markets at these times. Amy’s correctly explained why, just above. Sorry if my wording was confusing. :blush:

Experienced traders often avoid trading during holidays due to lower liquidity and higher volatility. This can increase risk and make it harder to predict market movements.
