From the candlestick performance, Bitcoin has been oscillating repeatedly within the range of 87,960 to 87,258, with a volatility of only a few hundred dollars—simply put, this kind of market is just wasting traders' time.
During consolidation, the most taboo action is blind trading. When the price swings up and down, you can't tell the direction at all. Instead of guessing which way it will jump, it's better to wait and see. Until a breakout signal appears, holding onto open orders is like holding a hot potato.
How to trade specifically? There are only two ways:
One is to wait for it to break upward, then pull back to test the upper boundary of the box. If support is confirmed, enter long positions on the right side. Set stop-loss inside the range. The second is the opposite approach—if it breaks down below the lower boundary, then when it rebounds and is resisted at the lower boundary, go short on the right side, following the same logic.
In situations like the current narrow-range oscillation, the idea of selling high and buying low sounds good, but in reality, there is no room for operation. So rather than messing around, it's better to clear the positions and rest, waiting for a clear breakout candlestick to appear. The biggest enemy in the market is taking unnecessary actions.

ngl this range-bound sideways action is basically a honeypot for liquidations... watched too many traders get absolutely wrecked trying to scalp these thin wicks. the "no clear breakout = no trade" logic checks out fr

Going all-in and lying flat is really the most advanced move; the group of people itching to act have already been cut for the harvest.

Clearing out and taking a break, this statement is so true. After checking the market, there really aren't many opportunities. Instead of being trapped here, it's better to have some tea and wait for signals.

This round of consolidation is really frustrating; it's better to wait for a breakout before going up...

I'm fond of the saying "sit and wait to die." Compared to those who shout signals every day, this attitude is just right.

87960 to 87258 just keeps bouncing back and forth like this, it's really annoying. Might as well go to sleep and wait for a breakout.

I agree with the statement "liquidate and take a break," but 99% of people can't do it; they all end up messing around inside.

Wait, are you really planning to just lie flat until 87,960 breaks? I'm skeptical about this market trend; the Fed's repurchase agreement move has made the market even more confused.

Clearing out and taking a break is the right way; don't mess around blindly.
