The situation on the crypto market has changed last days from falling to a relatively flat.
It would be great to hear investors opinions on what to do when market behaves like this.
Thanks.

This really depends on what your 'goal' is which you want to achieve with crypto.
If you are a daytrader there isn't much you can do on flat days.. try to ride the small waves which appear.
As a holder (when the fundamentals didn't change) just hold tight. In the end it will pay out.
Especially with LN being tested and Schnorr in (hopefully) near future, holding is the best option IMO.

Trading is fine, but in the end you should always be holding your stack tight.

Probably, a wise  investor would say that you need to hold when there is a crash. On other hand, some of them are trying to confuse the mind of other investor. The FUD and speculation are the reason behind the panic selling of other people typically, the small one. Whales are manipulating the market and it is up to the investor if he will join the ride or quit in trading.

As for coin holders, flat market is a tricky time when they can simply hold and also update portfolio: change coin proportions and may be add some new coins.

well as far as bitcoin is concerned, accumulate! because it is stable and it is a good time to do it.

but also we always have an interesting side effect when bitcoin price is stable and that is the altcoin pumps that start up and become bigger during this time. so you can adapt accordingly and switch to altcoin market to increase your wealth whether it is in bitcoin or fiat by trading altcoins that are now more volatile and are getting pumped more.

It will depend on you if what is your main goal if you are investing it is good if you wait for long term because the price is flat and right now we are just entering the recovering stage on the value of bitcoin So if the market is on the red zone or it is flat like these, All you need to do is to invert your eyes towards something else and don't think about bitcoin for that day so you don't panic and think of selling your invested bitcoin.

I split up and withdraw my fiat and coins and leave the market until the next run.

Agreed. If the market is flat, that's telling you lie down flat on your back and take a break. Holders probably love this part, because it means the market is stabilizing, slowly gaining momentum before trying to retest new highs. Scalpers on the day trading scene will always be on the lookout for sudden volume spikes, and in a flat market, probably easier to spot this. I login to Bittrex and see the top volume trades and it usually lasts a little while before flatlining again.

The longer this flat market trades sideways, the better for long-term view, in my opinion.

This is seems to be good time to hold the bitcoin and buy the new btc.If you huge bitcoin when the price reaches maximum means,you will get good profit from it.
As a trader I will hold and buy a more bitcoin at this type of situation.

Forget bitcoin for one day then just look at it every single day because the value of bitcoin will still recover and you are saving it from your emotions to erupt and you might get your bitcoin to sell on a panic mode, I really think that you yourself needs to control your self from your emotions when you see the price dip so much, That is why it is good to convert your thinking over something else instead of Cryptocurrency.

The price does look stable and has not changed much. Some people say that things like this are very good to be able to provide comfort to the market situation, but for a trader then things like this is very detrimental. Because without any increase in prices they will be difficult to make a profit. So there are some people who feel benefited and some are feeling aggrieved as a result of too stable prices today.

Well if the market gets a little bit more stable, what you do is still depends on when you want to sell and also depends on when did you enter the market. Lets say that you bought Bitcoin in $19000 price range and didn't able to get out when the cryptocurrency market are crashing you probably have no choice but to wait for it to recover again and just hold it. If you bought in the price where the price drop down to $6000 you already have a good profit and can get out and cash it out or you can just remain if you think that it will continue to rise. What I do with my Bitcoins in this situation that the price doesn't move that much is just hold.

That's how markets are. I must however point out that the market isn't really that flat - there are enough opportunities to catch 5-10% swings within the $7700-$9000 range, so it's not that traders aren't doing anything right now. The more experienced and confident a trader is, the smaller the swings need to be in order to make money. Those who aren't experienced and confident, need massive swings in order to take advantage of the market, and in case these massive swings aren't present, they feel like it's not worth it anymore, while in reality there is still a good sum of money to be made. Aside from traders, a 'flat' market is great for longer term accumulation purposes.

It's a good one rather than seeing the market moving up and down and the downside is moving that quickly.
That's the fact that we are only looking at the interesting movement of bitcoin's stability.

If whales by seizing an opportunity to sell high and buy back at lower prices is a reason for panic sell off and a turn around to cry fowl of the market being manipulated, then it's as you implied, they're unwise investors, ostensibly here, because of their erroneous belief in Bitcoin as a get-rich-quick-scheme. Suffice to say that FUD and speculation are not so much the reason for the panic selling as is their ignorance.

The price of all crypto currencies is not stable. Several times a day, the price of bitcoin fluctuates with an amplitude of several hundred dollars. This is enough to earn $ 100 every day. This is not enough for a rich life, but enough to meet priority needs.

need big news to incraese very high or down price to cheap price
imlek or lunar year is enough to can bitcoin down price, and follow all coin can down price too
