Regarding the fluctuations of Ethereum in December, there's no need for excessive speculation. From a technical perspective, the hype around Japan's interest rate hikes has already been the last negative factor in this wave. Currently, Ethereum is in a typical consolidation phase, preparing for a breakthrough of the key resistance level.

Another key point is that the holiday season's market enthusiasm is about to wind down, and subsequent incremental funds will inevitably flow into mainstream coins and the overall market. This means the rotation window for smaller altcoins is also coming to an end.

Honestly, if Ethereum continues to decline tonight, my strategy is to keep increasing my position. Instead of fearing being caught in a dip, I am more worried about missing out on enough chips before it takes off. According to the Federal Reserve's repurchase agreement plan, the overall liquidity environment tends to be loose, which is friendly to risk assets.

Another critical point: it is unlikely to see extreme situations below $78,000 again. Everyone should maintain this optimistic mindset to cope with the upcoming market fluctuations.
