ETH this wave of market movement really tests people's patience! Yesterday I was expecting a breakout, and today I open my eyes to find everything still at a standstill. Traders across the entire crypto market are almost like health-preserving hermits. But what I want to say is that it is precisely in this calm that the easiest opportunities for catching the dip are hidden. Those long-standing big funds are now like dormant hunters, just waiting for a signal to trigger an explosion. As a trader who has been observing the market for 8 years, today I must share the long-term strategies I've accumulated during sideways periods, helping everyone stay calm within the oscillation range and even lock in advantageous positions in advance.

Let's first look at the true state of the order book. Why can't the market start moving? The core reason is that market liquidity is clearly shrinking. The willingness of large funds to enter the market is decreasing; everyone is waiting and observing, resulting in the price being pushed into a narrow range, unable to move up or down. However, there's a crucial detail that cannot be ignored—although volatility has disappeared, the attention of funds at key price levels has not weakened. I reviewed the recent two days' fund flow data, and the accumulation of funds between 2850 and 3050 is actually increasing. This indicates that it's not that no one is optimistic, but that everyone is "holding back a big move."

Regarding my strategy for dealing with sideways markets, the core logic is "not acting proactively, guarding opportunities." Many beginners get nervous when they see sideways movement, either opening and closing positions frequently and getting swept in and out, or simply giving up and missing the real breakout. My approach is completely the opposite—treat the levels at 2850 and 3050 as defensive support and resistance points, and set early warnings in the key fund concentration zones in the middle. Specifically, in practice, levels like 2920, 2900, 2880, and 2850 are key observation points. When funds start to gather at these levels, it often signals that the market is about to react.
