I think it's a bit early to call it much more than a flutter, given Bitcoin's history.

People liquidate assets during December Holidays for buying presents, vacationing, and so forth.

In other news, water is wet.

Really ? People sell stock to buy presents and go vacations ?

Sure, check the S&P 500 index price. It always dips come December.

I did. It is December and it is up. Granted the month isnt over, but certainly it can't always dip in December. Even if it reliably did 60% of the time, that would quickly turn into a profitable trading strategy and it would stop happening.

Asset prices usually dip in Dec

Something something correlation causation.

Everyone's buying presents at the last possible moment then?

Between the time to execute the order, transfer the cash on your bank account, and buy something ahead of christmas, I would have expected people to do that a lot earlier.
