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.

Been in a sideways market for so long, I almost fall asleep reading others' posts, haha
Honestly, it feels like waiting for the dealer to flip the cards in a casino, exhausting
Are big funds really holding back a big move? I feel like everyone is just watching each other
Is the 2850 level a real support or just a psychological level?
Wait, is your 8 years of experience really true? It feels like I've seen so many sideways markets too
What's different this time? Is there really a "buy the dip" opportunity?
To be honest, it still comes down to luck. No matter how many strategies you have, they all get stuck in the fluctuations

It's the same old story again, claiming 8 years of market intuition as if it's real, but in the end, just gambling on when funds will enter. Haha.
Consolidation means the big players are accumulating; I don't believe your nonsense.
2850 to 3050 has been swept back and forth about ten times, and you're still stacking there? That's hilarious.
Wait, wait, I've already waited until I'm numb.
No matter how nicely you phrase it, it can't change the current dead silence. Instead of analyzing, might as well go all in and gamble.
This guy is seriously talking about strategies, but why not say when this wave of market trend will truly start?
Setting alerts until the end of time is useless; we still have to wait for macro signals.
I just want to know, is 2920 really the key level, or are you just a post-hoc strategist?

I've been stuck in this sideways market for so long, I'm really exhausted...
To be honest, waiting this long has been quite torturous, but your lengthy explanation about liquidity and capital accumulation sounds professional, though I wonder if it actually works in practice.
As for those precise levels like 2850 to 3050... I feel like every time it's just armchair strategizing after the fact.
During a sideways market, the worst thing is to keep overthinking and wanting to trade, only to get cut. It's probably more reliable to just stay flat and wait for clearer signals.

The health Taoist made me laugh to death. Our group is really close to becoming immortals, haha.
