Before and after the Spring Festival, should investors choose to "buy in peace" or "hold money for the holiday"? A veteran cryptocurrency investor told PAData that the prevailing view in the currency circle this year is that it is bearish before the holiday and bullish after the holiday. "Everyone has to take money for the New Year before the holiday. There is a need to withdraw funds. After the holiday, there is a need to put money in. After the holiday, we are optimistic about the rebound." Then how likely is Bitcoin to come out of this "script" ? Based on data corrected by Coin Metrics, PAData analyzes the currency price trends of Bitcoin during the week before the holiday, the Spring Festival (referring to the statutory holiday year from 30 to the new year) and the week after the holiday from 2011 to 2019. From the historical data, Bitcoin's "Spring Festival market" rose seven and fell two days, with a 7-day average return of approximately 6.02%.
