This kind of market is the most uncomfortable—prices neither rise nor fall significantly, and trading actions are completely unfounded. Compared to a bull market where the trend is consistently bullish or a bear market where you simply stay on the sidelines, the current bear market rebound is the most frustrating. It's hard to determine where the top is during a rebound or when the bottom will come.

To succeed in trading, you must first block out all the noise. Calmly analyze this wave of market conditions; in fact, geopolitical changes can bring critical turning points to the market. For example, when the geopolitical situation heated up some time ago, the market responded quickly and recovered. Such sudden events often break the oscillation pattern and become real trading opportunities—if you can identify them in time.

The most annoying thing about a volatile market is that you can't tell when to take action at all. Geopolitics is indeed a breakthrough point, but most people react half a beat too late. Blocking out noise is easier said than done. Instead of stressing over the rebound top, it's better to wait for a clear black swan event. It feels like identifying opportunities takes more effort than making money. This round of market conditions really makes people uncomfortable; whether to move or stay put.

The volatile market is truly intense, more painful than losing money. Blocking out the noise is spot on; most people get confused by those broken call signals. Geopolitics really only hits at a few key moments to catch the bottom. Can't even pinpoint the rebound peak, might as well just hold steady. Once awake, you must watch geopolitics; sudden events are the real deal. This choppy pattern is so boring, when will there be a decisive event? Blocking out the noise is easier said than done; who doesn't know that, but can't do it. Still waiting for the bottom signal to appear, continue to wait. Geopolitical issues need attention; they can truly influence the turning point. Rebounds are often traps, believe it or not.

This wave of the market is truly incredible—nothing is rising, nothing is falling. I might as well close my eyes and sleep through it. I think the geopolitical side is indeed prone to quick gains, just worried about not reacting in time and getting caught. This kind of volatile market really tests your mentality; many people lose money by repeatedly cutting losses. It's easy to say block out the noise, but when it comes to actual trading, everything just gets chaotic. That's how I am. Breaking the deadlock with unexpected events is reliable, but the problem is how to identify them quickly. Can't wait anymore; staying passive all month is not worth it—might as well do something else. After the geopolitical tensions eased and the rebound happened, I didn't catch the bottom. Looking at it now, it’s really painful.

The most annoying thing about a volatile market is constantly getting cut losses back and forth, it's really exhausting. --- I agree with blocking out the noise, but when it comes to geopolitical issues... it's easier said than done. Who can really react when that moment comes? --- Rebound to the top? Bro, are you talking in your sleep? --- Now we just wait for the next trend, otherwise there's really no way to play. --- It's better to wait for signals than to guess the bottom. Anyway, rebounds will happen, and sooner or later, it will drop. --- What's so uncomfortable about it? A volatile market is the best for making money. Why can't you all figure out how to play it? --- The view that geopolitical sudden events are a concern is valid, but the problem is... who can predict accurately? --- Sitting idle in cash is definitely more comfortable than being slapped back and forth. --- This kind of market tests your mentality. Most people have already lost their composure. --- Recognizing opportunities is easy, but many people just can't execute.

The sideways market is just a way to shake out people with different styles—bulls shake out bears, bears shake out bulls, and in the end, the main force takes everyone for a ride. The key is to have a breakout signal. Geopolitical black swan events can indeed break the deadlock, but the question is who reacts faster and gets the profit.

It should be pointed out that your statement contains a fatal logical error — treating "geopolitical changes" as the main driving force of the market, but on-chain data has been available all along. The true basis for decision-making has never been in the news; it is on the blockchain.

A volatile market is really heartbreaking. If you start trading without knowing anything, you definitely deserve to lose. I really didn't expect to use geopolitical factors; I responded quite quickly last time. You're right, we need to block out those distractions, or else our minds won't be able to keep up. I can't understand where this rebound is truly the top; how much longer do we have to wait? There are too few people who can identify this in time; most people are still catching up afterward.

The sideways market can't hold anymore, rebound rebound rebound, who still knows what they're doing after all this playing

ngl the sideways grind is peak inefficiency tbh... like mathematically speaking, if you're not capturing directional conviction you're basically burning opportunity cost on every candle. geopolitical catalyst thesis is sub-optimal though — data shows most traders get liquidated *trying* to front-run the "big move"

The most annoying thing in a volatile market is that it's completely gambling --- It's true that blocking out noise is important, and that's exactly what I'm doing now --- Breaking the deadlock with geopolitical events? That's what I thought last time, but I ended up getting hammered --- It's really hard to tell where the rebound will top out; whoever can predict accurately will get rich --- Instead of stressing over the highs and lows, it's better to wait for a black swan event—that's the real opportunity --- There's too much noise; information overload makes it easier to make mistakes in judgment --- Right now, I'm just waiting for a sudden event to break the deadlock. It's so boring
