The market likes to talk about "holiday行情," but experienced traders understand that holidays mostly amplify expectations rather than create trends. If the Year of the Horse starts with a rally, it’s likely due to capital pre-positioning and subsequent inertial release; if it doesn’t rise, it doesn’t necessarily mean a bear market. The key is whether you have your own judgment framework.

It’s recommended to treat the New Year as an asset health check: review which strategies were effective over the past year, which were just luck; which positions were too heavy, and which allocations were too single-minded. Many people work hard all year but fail to do systematic reviews, resulting in starting from scratch when the market changes. Posting and sharing at the start of the new year is actually the lightest form of review — writing down your thoughts helps clarify your logic.
The market rewards those who are prepared, and preparation comes from reflection. Instead of hoping for a strong start, focus on building a “year-round success” system. Holidays bring emotional windows, but real opportunities come from structural judgment. Treat the Year of the Horse as the beginning of a new cycle, not a short-term starting line. With a mindset shift, the quality of your operations will naturally improve.
