everyone thinks high volatility is where you make the easiest money, but actually tight chop in a massive range is where retail quietly bleeds out the most.
watching your stop losses get hunted on both sides while trying to scalp the breakout is pure pain, especially when you re-enter out of frustration right before the real fakeout hits.
we just saw this exact trap play out with $BTC forming roughly a $5k gap between major liquidity pools. both high-leverage longs and shorts got caught on either side of the spread because order books were thin and market makers were just sweeping stops for liquidity before choosing a real direction.
ngl ser, when price gets stuck in a $5k vacuum like that, even solid setups across $ETH and $SOL turn into choppy degen traps. if you are forcing 20x leverage inside an unconfirmed dead zone, you are basically donating your stack to the book.
how are you navigating this gap or are you just sitting in stables until the range breaks?
