A sideways market is harder to trade than a one-way market—here’s today’s logic
The system’s answer today is: wait. It’s not that I can’t wait; it’s that the odds of trading this kind of market simply don’t justify entering.
First, let’s look at the two markets:
BTC: No clear direction today. Act only when either side is triggered. A break above $66,224 is a bullish signal; a break below $63,627 is a bearish signal.
ETH: No clear direction today. Act only when either side is triggered.
Neither BTC nor ETH has shown a clear direction today. When both markets are quiet, the biggest risk isn’t losing money—it’s getting itchy and forcing a trade. Trading blindly within a range puts you at a natural disadvantage on risk/reward. Better to wait for either side to break out, then follow.
For now:
BTC: No trade. Wait for a setup to trigger. A bounce to $66,224+ followed by a bearish close confirms a short; a retest of $63,627+ followed by a bullish close confirms a long.
ETH: No trade. Wait for a setup to trigger.
My plan: Stay flat and wait. It’s not that there are no opportunities; neither side has given a trigger.
Keep an eye on BTC: break above $66,224 = go long; break below $63,627 = go short. I’ll wait for it to choose a direction, then follow. No guessing.
