BTC sideways trading is the norm; before each major market move, there is inevitably a period of consolidation and buildup. Remember the key signal: only when trading volume continues to increase is the market launch imminent. Opportunities are not found by staring at the screen, but by enduring and waiting.

Many crypto friends around me can't handle this calm period, either forcing trades frequently or feeling anxious and fearing missing out. Here's a practical tip: when BTC volatility is below 20%, it indicates a calm market. Trading frequently at this time not only easily incurs fees but also has a high probability of being trapped by false breakouts — the false breakout during sideways periods is very common, blindly following the trend will only lead to losses.
In fact, the calmer the market, the more you need to stay patient, and the more you should understand some of BTC's underlying logic. Impatience and greed can easily lead to pitfalls. $BTC
