The hardest trade in crypto isn't buying the dip or selling the top—it's doing absolutely nothing when the market goes sideways.
We all want explosive moves, but chop cycles are where most traders destroy their capital. They overtrade, force positions, and get chopped to pieces trying to catch micro-movements.
Whether you’re looking at $BTC or waiting for $ETH to find its footing, the reality is that markets spend most of their time consolidating. That’s not a bad thing. It’s actually where the foundation is built for the next macro move.
If you don't have a high-probability setup, sitting on your hands is a completely valid strategy. Capital preservation is always step number one.
How do you handle these quiet, range-bound market phases? Are you stepping back to recharge, or are you actively scalping the ranges?
