Boring market conditions feel like hitting the pause button...
I believe the key to trading is not about who can catch the absolute bottom and sell at the top,
but about who can survive amidst long-term high volatility and uncertainty.
And appropriately capitalize on the "phase" fluctuations that are most likely to occur by trying to "sell high and buy low," while managing stop-losses properly.
The past few bull and bear cycles have repeatedly proven that the biggest risk in the crypto market is never missing out, but overconfidence, heavy positioning, and superstition in "safe assets" and "certainty narratives."
The core task during a bear market is not to make quick money,
but to control drawdowns, protect principal, and filter assets with genuine long-term value and liquidity.
Short-term price swings are more about liquidity games or emotional outbursts driven by news, rather than a sudden collapse of fundamentals.
Focus on long-term narratives, such as Federal Reserve monetary policy, crypto technological innovation, and so on.
Leverage, frequent trading, and high-expectation heavy bets only amplify mistakes at this stage.
Instead, staggered positioning, reducing exposure, and accepting imperfect entries can help maintain enough patience and resilience.
The market will always present opportunities, but only if you're still at the table.
When emotions are extreme, narratives collapse, and most people lose confidence,
the true trend and long-term returns will quietly brew!
Remember:
Preserve your principal,
Preserve your principal,
Preserve your principal.
Waiting is a crucial part of the trading system.
So, at this stage, I believe lying flat is also a strategic advantage!
