Another underrated skill in crypto is knowing when not to have an opinion.

You don’t need a hot take on every move.

You don’t need to react to every candle.

You don’t need to trade every day.

Most losses come from forcing certainty in uncertain conditions. Choppy markets don’t reward conviction, they punish it. This is where staying neutral is actually a position.

The best traders step back when price action is messy, liquidity is thin, and narratives keep flipping. They wait for clarity instead of predicting it.

Being flat is not being wrong.

Sitting out is not missing out.

Protecting capital is a win.

Sometimes the smartest move in crypto is doing absolutely nothing and letting the market show its hand first.
