Most traders lose their capital not during sharp market crashes, but in the boring sideways chops.

When $BTC or $ETH stay range-bound for weeks, the itch to "do something" becomes overwhelming. We start forcing trades, over-leveraging, and chasing micro-trends just to feel active. But experienced traders know that capital preservation during consolidation is just as important as capturing the breakout.

Sometimes, the best trade is no trade at all. Use this quiet time to refine your strategy or step away from the screen. Let the market prove its next direction first. ⏳

How do you handle the boring sideways phases? Do you sit on your hands, or do you find yourself overtrading?
