#数字资产市场洞察 Volatility is the true mirror of the market
Have you ever experienced this—when the market is stuck in a stalemate, unable to go up or down? At such times, the hardest part is not judging the direction, but controlling your own hands. Many traders tend to frequently adjust their positions and try different strategies during sideways markets, resulting in frequent stop-losses and fees eating into profits.
In fact, the real difference between traders is revealed in these stagnant periods. Those who ultimately make money often appear particularly "boring" during these times—they stick to their strategies, wait for a breakout, and are not disturbed by short-term noise.
Honestly, the most testing aspect of sideways markets is discipline. Will you stick to your plan, or will every fluctuation in the market lure you in? This choice determines the final trajectory of your account.
In the current market conditions, what is your trading approach?

Really, I'm that kind of person who can't resist, starts frequently trading when the market is volatile, and ends up losing heavily on fees.
Honestly watching others win effortlessly while I keep adjusting my positions wildly—that's the gap.
Exactly, it's a test of willpower. I've now learned to pretend to be dead; that's better than anything.
Now it's just about patience. Wait for a breakout signal before acting, or else it's no different from gambling.
It's really hard not to mess around. Just looking at the candlesticks makes me want to trade. I need to change this bad habit.

Oh no, being reckless is a deadly disease. I'm the kind of person who cuts losses the fastest during sideways trading.
Exactly right, sideways consolidation is like a sieve, letting all the chives slip through.
I feel like I get attracted by the volatility, always thinking this time I can catch the bottom, but in the end, I suffer heavy losses.
Staying still like a mountain is the way to go, but who the hell can actually do that?

This sideways trading period is really frustrating; I keep wanting to make a move.
