$ETH It’s been grinding around the 2750 area all day; only now has the amplitude reached 2.7%. Trading volume has shrunk to 0.4 times the average—typical calm before a storm. This kind of tight consolidation is the most torturous: it squeezes both longs and shorts. If you chase in, you get trapped. Experienced traders know that after a low-volume sideways range, sharp volatility often follows. Don’t be fooled by a fake breakout. Keep your hands off the button—wait until the direction becomes clear. DYOR—control your impulses.
