Holiday Crypto Gifting Thins Liquidity as Bitcoin Trades in Narrow Range

Holiday bitcoin gifting and self-custody withdrawals are thinning exchange liquidity, keeping BTCUSD range-bound while increasing sensitivity to small trades during low-volume sessions.
Bitcoin trading dynamics are being shaped by holiday season gifting trends, particularly among Gen Z users, alongside reduced exchange liquidity. BTCUSD is trading near $87,600 within an intraday band of $86,350 to $88,001, as small gift driven purchases combine with withdrawals into self-custody. Analysts note that while gifting supports spot demand, coins moving off exchanges reduce order book depth, amplifying price sensitivity.
