Recent market trends indeed test the patience of trend traders. Repeated oscillations and a lack of momentum have occurred multiple times, and this kind of gate-like volatility is the easiest to disrupt trading rhythm.

Let's look at some common entry strategies. Taking a small position at the bottom on the left side can yield modest profits, but the problem is that once the trend truly starts, such positions are easily wiped out instantly. For this reason, traders who frequently enter and exit during these oscillations tend to develop a habitual tendency to hold positions, with risks continuously accumulating.

Therefore, the most rational approach at present is to stay in cash and observe. Wait for this round of oscillation to clearly define a direction and form new momentum before participating. This way, you can avoid being frequently caught in traps and also not miss genuine opportunities.

From a technical perspective, Ethereum's Wave 2 has not yet fully unfolded. It is likely to break through the key level of 3446 on December 10th and form a new high. As for Bitcoin, the Wave 1 correction process is also not over. What truly deserves attention is a significant retracement after the rebound. Such adjustments often have ample space, clear positioning, and do not fall into the quagmire of frequent oscillations.

honestly the whole "sit tight and wait for clarity" bit hits different when you're actually disciplined enough to do it... most traders can't handle it tbh. watching the 3446 level on eth tho, technically speaking that second wave setup is textbook if the math checks out. bit skeptical about calling it new highs before we even see the structure fully materialize.

Staying out of the market and observing sounds comfortable, but when the moment comes, you still have to rush in. This wave of volatility is really annoying; I've already been trapped twice. If the key level at 3446 can't be broken, don't talk about new highs. Too many people are just telling stories. Waiting for a correction? The market loves to take off while you're just observing. My advice is not to wait.

I agree with the idea of observing with an empty position, no more messing around, really. --- Holding a position until liquidation is standard practice. Let's just wait patiently for the momentum this round. --- It's the same repetitive pattern again, my mindset has long been worn down. --- Wait a moment, only after a rebound and then a sharp drop is an opportunity. Buying in now makes you the bag holder. --- Only when the key level at 3446 is broken will I dare to act; before that, it was all traps. --- Oh, a friend lost his principal just because he held a position at the left-side bottom; it's not worth the loss. --- My current strategy is just two words: wait. No fear of missing out. If I miss it, I’ll just wait again.

Empty position observation has really saved me many times, I can't say for sure --- It's another devilish fluctuation, I've already suffered several losses from this --- Wait for the momentum to build up before acting, just hearing this makes me think of the days of being trapped --- Left-side bottom holding order? That's a suicidal rhythm --- Is the 3446 level reliable? Feels like it's going to be broken through again --- That's right, but I just can't do it, always wanting to catch the bottom --- A rebound followed by a pullback is the real opportunity, this time I will hold back --- Having no position is really the hardest thing, watching the market move makes my heart race --- Habitually holding orders is a bad habit that needs to change, the risk is too high

Stay out of the market and watch the show. This wave of volatility can really wear down people's mentality. Brothers who took the plunge on the left side are going to suffer some losses this time. The risk accumulated from holding positions will eventually explode. Wait until the momentum is clear before taking action. Isn't that more satisfying? Only if the 3446 level breaks can you believe it; otherwise, it's still a fake breakout. Habitually holding positions is just gambling, and you can't beat the market. Rebound, correction, rebound, correction—cycle repeats. Only bet when the position is clear. The second wave of Ethereum hasn't fully unfolded yet. Why rush? Let the bullets fly for a while. Frequent traders who enter and exit should reflect on themselves. Really. Bitcoin's correction needs to have enough space to be worth paying attention to. Don't be fooled by the oscillation lines. Now it's all about who can endure—either stay out of the market or enter precisely.
