$ETH $SNDK There aren't even any assets up 20% on the spot gainers list anymore! Since the Democrats took office, has the crypto market really become harder and harder to navigate?
I don't know if you all feel the same way, but the crypto market has been eerily quiet lately. In the past, you'd open the gainers list and see coins jumping by dozens of percentage points or even doubling. Now you can scroll and scroll without finding a single one up more than 20%.
From a retail investor's perspective, it's genuinely tough. Chase a rally and you risk getting stuck holding the bag; buy the dip and you risk further declines. You hold spot and watch your account shrink every day, while trading futures means risking getting wicked out in either direction. We used to worry about missing the bull market; now we worry we won't even catch a rebound.
On top of that, since the Democrats took control of Congress, the market has grown concerned about crypto regulation, policy progress, and institutional sentiment. Policy expectations that had been fueling speculation may also be repriced, making new money even more hesitant to enter the market.
But the most important thing right now isn't rushing to guess when the bull market will return. It's watching for when capital is willing to come back in, whether the major coins can stabilize, whether ETF inflows return, and whether trading volume in altcoins can recover. Those are the things Caibao is paying attention to.
It's not that crypto is uninvestable now; it's just that the days when you could buy altcoins with your eyes closed and make money may be over for a while.
I'd love to hear what you think: are you holding onto your spot positions and riding out the market, or have you already moved to cash and started waiting for the next opportunity?
