When price compresses near the 20-period average while the long-term trend is intact, the hardest trade is often no trade. Across $BTC, $ETH, and $SOL, the broader basket was rallying, yet individual assets hugged the SMA20 with SMA20 above SMA50 and RSI in a neutral-to-slightly-bullish zone—conditions that consistently favored holding over chasing a breakout or fade. In this kind of regime, the market’s edge lies in patience, not in forcing a directional bias. Before you enter, check whether price is tightly hugging SMA20 while SMA20 stays above SMA50 and RSI sits in that neutral-to-slightly-bullish band; if so, wait for a decisive break or reclaim instead of front-running. #RiskManagement #TradingPsychology #TechnicalAnalysis #CryptoVolatility
