1. Is there still a chance to buy the dip?
There might be, and here's why. Currently, BTC has rebounded to 98,000. Since the 23rd, ETH has not followed the decline, and last night BTC surged. We are now in a period of extremely low liquidity, and U.S. stock markets are closed tonight. It won't be until after New Year's that real liquidity will return. If there is any movement, it could be during this period of low liquidity; a slight negative news might crash BTC. If altcoins follow the drop, that would present a buying opportunity, but whether BTC will crash really depends on market sentiment. After New Year's, the focus will shift to the new president's inauguration. The real trend market should occur from mid-January to early March. So, before mid-January, we need to see if the 'whales' will give us another opportunity.
2. Will the upcoming trend market definitely arrive as expected?
It's highly likely, but the prerequisite is that the U.S. economy doesn't face issues, Trump isn't assassinated, and Japan doesn't create problems; the probability of these events is extremely low. The basic trend market should be fine. Moreover, according to historical data, the stock and crypto markets perform well within the first hundred days after a new president takes office. This is backed by historical data, as new officials typically have a positive impact.
