Other trading instruments may become less liquid during this period. Spreads may be wider than usual, and volatility may increase due to fewer liquidity providers pricing during this period.

As you know, low liquidity can lead to high volatility, and market volatility can reveal trading opportunities while increasing exposure to risk. Take this into account when planning your trading activity.
