In a sideways market environment, what needs to be avoided the most is not doing homework, but rather excessive and frequent operations.
During consolidation, volatility is narrow, and false breakouts and false breakdowns are particularly prevalent. Chasing highs and cutting losses can easily turn someone from "not losing at all" into "losing more with every operation."
This is the real fatal point for most people in the cryptocurrency market.
In fact, the short-term price movements of the market have a high degree of randomness, and cryptocurrencies are even more so.
Short-term predictions are difficult, but long-term trends can be traced.
Therefore, rather than trying to catch every fluctuation, it is better to establish a mature strategy,
such as phased deployment, regular fixed amounts, range trading, or grid strategies, to let discipline have more power than emotions.
Sideways movement is not a bad thing.
It is the market's rest, the buildup before the next trend, and often the best timing for investors to adjust their positions and layouts.
Remember: those who survive in consolidation are the ones qualified to reap in a real trend. $BTC
