According to Greeks.live, market makers are currently in the process of repositioning their portfolios during the Christmas season when trading volumes tend to drop significantly. US equities could end up experiencing stronger volatility due to reduced liquidity. Traders are expecting sharper movies based on increasing implied volatility (IV). 

Furthermore, the platform has noted that the influence of the U.S. stock market on crypto prices is becoming more pronounced. Hence, cryptocurrencies could also succumb to volatility in tandem with stocks.
