At uncertainty times, if we cant afford for the risk, its more better that we stay away from trading and hodl our asset in USDT till we are able to figure out a particular good and safe entry point to start our trades, its important that we know the specific trade we are going for in a particular time and also have the patient required to wait till we have the achievement being done concerning our trades.

One of the way is for us to keep saving when their are funds available for us to spend.
In one time or the other, problem could come that would make us seek for financial help and if we already have the fund available, we could go for it and use it to settle the problem on ground. Trading in am uncertainty time need lots of risk management and also need to have extra funds so in case the market volatility swallow our funds which should not be if we have risk management in place and if we have be following it. We just keep to keep trade simple and less risky.

I'm generally a long term holder, not really worried by price fluctuations but if I have to dabble into short term trading with some spared funds, I will consider looking at the range that price has hit the most in recent times which in this case is between $60k to $70k. I will be willing to buy anywhere  near $60k and sell around $70k. The plan will be to continue this until the range have been broken then other trading opportunities can be explored.

The market have shown serious reluctance to test the ATH, this is the reason price is always dropping back into the range whenever it crosses the $70k region. The market is probably building momentum and this will take a long time before we see any massive move above this range.

I always use highly volatile coins and stable coins trading pairs. Sometimes it works well but sometimes, as normal I lose.

In uncertain times, price is usually boring and it does not change too much. It often fluctuates up and down with very small price change margin. It's not intersting time for trading because when you trade, you need volatility. However, if you are in uncertain time, you will now know that next big volatility will be up or down, and it's very risky to hold your position and hope that market will move up or down to give your position profit.

I will wait for the market to start its high volatility time, a big crash, then I wait for like 30 minutes or 1 hour, before I start trading. If you want a safer entry, you can wait like 4 hours after a crash to enter the market.

I would say that trading is just good and profitable during bull season but not during bear season.

Trading is for both market types, bear and bull. In bear and bull market, you always will see market crash, correction but if you can wait for it to happen, wait for a few hours for market to calm down, you can trade in both bear and bull market.

Trading means you don't let your position opens for a long time and you don't hold your position in days or weeks.

I don't think you need only volatility to trade but along with that the perfect market conditions that supports volatile crypto market are very important otherwise the volatility will only bring losses for you.

We can advise a term know as positive volatility to explain that volatility requires some positive things in it so that it could lead to profits then losses.

Right now it’s not uncertain times, we are still in a bull market. Blackrock etf is still adding bitcoins to their portfolios for clients who buy the etf.

Uncertain times are more like 2015 or 2019 where we weren’t sure if crypto was dead or not. Price went nowhere. People just withdrew their crypto because market was not going anywhere.

Those are not the same times as now.

I don't think there will be any special methods, tactics and strategies that a trader will be using to trade in this period because what you have doing in the trading field will be the same and nothing will change. Op you have to k ow that this year bitcoin has hit all time high. Though it has not reached the All (everyone) predicted price which is the $100k for this season. And all what the traders need to do is to know the chart movement so that in the trading time when the market is about to show red, you have to know fast to close the trade and know when the market is about to go up and start the trade. Understanding these two chart tools is the major thing to know in trading.

Understanding the market situation is perhaps necessary. Trading during uncertain times is just like gambling, hoping for some luck to make a profit. There is no easy way of doing it but as a trader, we know what we gonna do that particular time and the strategy I see is to slow down and be patient because the market is not moving fast, unlike during bull season. That is why a trader doesn't just know how to trade but also how to hold. Patience is very important in trading and that also leads us to success whatever the situation we have.

If someone trades in an uncertain situation then it is likely that they are just hoping for luck from the trade they make and it would be better when someone decides to trade to know well the time they will use to enter the market in order to make a profit on the trade they make and of course every trader has their own strategy for entering the market to make a profit, patience when trading of course we will be able to analyze the market well and will also be able to make the right decisions and also they will not trade greedily.

To be ready is a must at all times because even if we think the market is in a stable condition, there are still instances that it changes suddenly and we can get shocked with it and not do the right actions which can be a reason for our losses. Technical analysis is a kind of analysis and not some kind of a strategy but it is still a recipe for us to lessen our risk and even if we lose less, I guess that still counts as protecting our capital.

Diversification is the ones that can be considered as a strategy. Bitcoin should be our base and then we need to choose a stable coin and altcoins properly because not all of them are worth it for our money.

Well, to be honest, trading in uncertain times is much more risky than calmed time. I personally stay away from the market when the sentiment is uncertain, even until the conditions are favorable for trading then I do trade because I myself have experienced this thing that whenever there is a bull run, I have noticed this thing from the trading point of view that In a bull run, the market does not follow the expected pattern it follows the UN expected pattern like it's following the trend as it is now. 
 
So if the dynamic of the market is uncertain, then it is beneficial to stay away from trading because if you stay in the market, you will lose due to liquidation. Trend is your friend, if you follow the trend, then you are right, otherwise the market can cause you to lose if you go against the trend.

Many traders have the delusion they can control what the markets do or that they are way smarter than the majority, and they choose to go against the trend thinking they can make more money this way, and while this strategy may have its merits, especially in a market that spends most of its time ranging, this is a terrible strategy to try to implement on an asset that has strong trends, like it is the case of bitcoin, so by employing that strategy they could make some short term profits, but over the long term bitcoin will reclaim those profits and most of their capital as well.

Agree. It is clear that we are in the bullish season and we are likely not reaching the peak yet. This should be easier to trade because the prices of crypto coins tend to increase more. Even if we have some dumps or big correction, it should be temporary. We can see the price of Bitcoin and altcoins to begin raising again well. TBH, I think to more comfortable trading in this season than in 2022-2023 (bearish season).

After Bitcoin ETF is approved, the future of Bitcoin and crypto market look brighter. Moreover, big companies like MicroStrategy still continue accumulating Bitcoin, it is a good sign for sure. We have no reason to feel worried and assume it is uncertain time. 

Uncertain times are more like 2015 or 2019 where we weren’t sure if crypto was dead or not. Price went nowhere. People just withdrew their crypto because market was not going anywhere.

2014-2015, 2018-2019, and 2022-2023 are the period of bearish seasons. So it makes sense if we feel it is uncertain time. There were many FUDs or negative news in the years, it triggered the price of all crypto coins to be freefall. Anyway, even if we have uncertain time, it doesn't mean crypto market will be dead forever.

Well, you have a point. The market is not at its uncertain times actually as we are heading for a bull run within the next few months. And because of that, trading at this moment may not be attractive as majority are buying and hodling to ensure good amount of bitcoin before bull run happens.

Now, talking about uncertainties in the market, trading is not best option if there are any. But if you are an experienced trader and you know on how to make profits despite of its market uncertainty, then trading could be considered.

If you are uncertain then just dont simply make any trades.  

There are really those moments or times that you would really be skeptical on making any trading decisions on which you would really be bothered on making some entry or even exits.
On the moment that you are in verge in between trading up or call it a day then it would be best that you should be having a break or would be skipping out.
Market is really that volatile at the same time there are moments on which it is really that moving sideways or really that having no movement at all.

There are certain strategies of trading. If you follow them it is possible to be successful in trading. Like analyzing the market situation and then trading. Do not leverage too much. Do not trade repeatedly. There is a possibility of losing capital as a result of repeated trading.  Greed should be restrained in trading. Repeated trading in the hope of more profit risks losing capital. And newbies are seen doing the same.  Which causes them losses and creates trading diversions.

I'm keeping some USD to buy more when the price falling to where I put my buy order, when something uncertain happen it's better to avoid leverage trading cause price can fall suddenly and make your trade liquidated. Always use TA when we want to trade and look for the TA result, know the risk if we enter the market now because not everyone ready for FUD out there.

Knowing the fair market value of any particular crypto currency on the open market as at the time of wanting to trade is a big determinant to making profitable return or loss during trade either in uncertain times or in the times when it becomes very necessary to diversify ones portfolio to include other coins and tokens as investment for future or present goals.

There's nothing like trading during uncertain times, what you call uncertain times are what smart traders use in making profits. The market is available always for you to make profits, you just have to be able to analyzing correctly so you don't enter the wrong trade. Your analysis mightn't be accurate always but it'll give you an idea of what is likely going to happen to the market and you can use that knowledge to make profits. Every time is an uncertain time in cryptocurrency as nobody knows what'll happen next.

During the bull market, there are times when the market gets bearish and during the bear market there are times too that the market might pump a little because of some positive news that the market receive so lets not think that the market moves in other one way, there are reasons why the charts aren't in one direction but like a wave that moves in opposition direction frequently. You can trade in all conditions of the market and make profits.

The market is really unpredicatable, especially if you are a day trader who does daily trade with the timeframe playing between 1 hour and 4 hours. Sometimes, when you notice that you are only using spot and not futures, you will feel it right away.

Because what you think should be like this will not suddenly happen because its direction does not agree with the analysis you made using some indicators that were used,
you know what that means.

After all these years, I have come to learn that we can make money in all kinds of trends.
There are basically 3 trends i.e. bull, bear and then the sideways trend which are all favorable to make some decent profits.
Everyone has a different strategy and it is the based on that we can make profits.
No one strategy will favor a trend, you will have to keep looking for it and keep tuning it to make profits.

If it's very easy to navigate and walk pass losses and my experiences I want to share are as follows.

-Don't trade at all: it might sound harsh but one of the ways to avoid loss in trading is to never trade at all, there is no need to force a trade when the condition aren't favorable particularly when the market is choppy without volatility, there is no need to trade when the market is not going to give much profit than what you are risking(risk management) and finally avoid trading when your conscience tells you not to, it helps sometimes.

-Learn to use tight stop-loss: I was having a conversation without one guy claimed to be a trader and he was arguing that one don't need stop loss in future trading and insist, his claim was that as long as your trade is not closer to liquidation price, you don't need to worry about stop loss that the market always comes back and then I told him what if in that process it never or something terrible happen to the market and he was silent. There are something we can't just control and to avoid it, take precautions and your measurements is using tight stop loss.

-Work more on your technical and Fundamental analysi: You can't enjoy trading without understanding how the market behave, you need to understand fundamentals news of any coin you choose to trade and learn to use that with technical to make your trades.

Actually, I'm not a regular trader or not the kind of day trader. But I am doing such trading activities in certain times. Yes, I am also well aware that market fluctuation and volatility cannot be controlled and cannot be avoided. However, lately, market movements have been quite fast and very difficult to predict. Even the opening days of each week are quite different, the cycle is no longer the same as before. therefore, sometimes it is quite difficult for me to manage it.

That's why, lately, it's enough to stop first while studying market conditions and cycles. So, this is done to reduce the risk of loss which has been happening to me lately. Indeed, sometimes we need to stop first to understand more deeply about what we should do next if the strategy we usually use no longer applies or is no longer working well. Because there is definitely something that needs to be adjusted or updated according to the conditions that occur in the market.
