Do you guys still trade in this kind of market?

[Luchnix]

Oh yes, I agree; the market is being so unpredictable lately, like seriously—concerning the events you mentioned on bitget, I checked it out and thanks for that… I even stand a chance to earn 30USDT for the more trading activities I carry out.

Seem this exchange provides lots more opportunities for traders this down times—I’m taking my shots from the $Kilo pair, I see price at a key support zone now aiming above the recent high..DYOR

I’m asking because a friend pitched a trading opportunity to me earlier.

Since you've been able to observe that the market isn't that much in a hurry to sustain a trend and that it's in a zigzag situation, why don't you steer clear off the market then? It's not a must that you've to be in the market. Choose the best time to get into the market for profit. It's not a wise thing to trade in a zigzag (ranging) market. If you can't see clearly with pairs you know already, don't trade new pairs. Don't trade pairs just because friends introduced them to you.

From where I stand, the market is in a bear (not a bear season yet, anyway.) If I were to trade, I would be shorting the market and that would be on BTC/stablecoin (any of that) pairs. That's to be on a safe side.

Dont put yourself in a hurry and this would be definitely the key, the primary mistake of people is becoming that impatient at the moment that they arent been able to make money or able to make up some trading positions. Come to think or bare in mind that not all day will be giving out that kind of good trading set up on which simply means that there are those certain moments or time that you do need up to take a break and wont be pushing any buttons to buy or sell. It is part of strategy that you should know on what are the things that you've been dealing on with and not just that hurrying just because you've been that not wanting to missed out some money making opportunity. When you are already experienced into this market then you will be getting used to into those times or moment that the market is moving sideways on which it will be giving out that hesitance on making up some positions on which this is that indeed normal. Therefore, why would be forcing yourself on doing so if you cant be able to find up some opportunity? It is understandable that whenever the market is sitting that dull and a bit idle then these are the times that you do find yourself making up those assumptions that this market is becoming that boring and not profitable already, whereas if we do try to look on the current condition then we are just that basically seeing these moment that the market isnt moving that much except that recently on which it do make out some price decline on which some people is already freaking out. Instead on seeing this as a disadvantage or negative thing, why they cant be able to see that this is the right opportunity for them to acquire or accumulate more?

New coins are tempting but always a high risk. Either they rise like crazy or fall like crazy. Even when I wait it to fall and stabilize, it keeps falling again out of nowhere. I have multiple times lost on doing long on a decreased coin hoping for a sideways or bullish market but the price of coin kept falling. On contrary, I tried some shorting on these new coins as well and again I got liquidated, this particularly for the PI coin.
But I don't just blame the new coins as even old coins are moving crazy these days. 

They are tempting but this is a risk in investing in them because there is enough reason to do your research before choosing those coins the market is not favorable and when you buy and hold it is also a good thing because there are coins that you can buy and hold its not all altcoin that you will buy because when you buy and hold you will not make anything from it. and the research you make will be the one to give you the exact type of coin because people only judge coins by price there is no study they just make reckless decisions, but only with the right knowledge that the selection can be made because people don't even know how to make a choice.

There are a lot of coins coming out recently and you have to be calculative The will hype will bring buyers and when they have gotten what they want the next thing they will start dumping the coin and their investors will have lost a lot of money, and project like this are not advised to invest in the best thing is to make proper inquiry.

Anyway, the market seems to be in a zigzag phase lately — there’s no sustained price trend anymore, and I’m wondering why. Still, I see some traders are managing to win. What’s the secret? And which pairs are your go-to that seem less volatile?

There are traders who have mastery in acts of trading highly volatile pairs, so even with a lot of volatility, they are still good and making profit. If you, an average trader, have difficulty in observing the trend the market is going to because of its volatility, and then it looks like the market is consolidating, it may be good for you to stay away from the market and wait for a break of structure and change of character.

Secondly, there are traders who have mastered their strategy, which is to stay winning now easily.

Hey guys, how was the weekend? Anyway, the market seems to be in a zigzag phase lately — there’s no sustained price trend anymore, and I’m wondering why. Still, I see some traders are managing to win. What’s the secret? And which pairs are your go-to that seem less volatile?

Ser, the only "trade" to make in any cycle, and any part of the cycle is HODL BITCOIN. I am absolutely sure that MOST of our fellow plebs in BitcoinTalk CANNOT outperform Bitcoin. Therefore, why waste your time constructing a shitcoin "portfolio" if it will make less profit than HODLing Bitcoin?

  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I’m asking because a friend pitched a trading opportunity to me earlier. At first, I wasn’t interested, but I figured — what’s there to lose? So about those pairs: GUN, KILO — are they less volatile? Have you traded them before?

If your friend is naive, then OK. But if he/she is not naive and he/she is pitching that "trading opportunity", then I would question the friendship.

Most alrs are down 60-80% from ath. Holding won't really cut it these days. We need the market to be back imo..

You should get used to it because if you are trying out to observe then weekends is usually that not that volatile or lets say its really that making up some consolidation on which this is the time you will be saying that it isnt moving that much and it turned out that the market is that making some less volatility and this isnt something new. If you've been here on this market for a while then you have been get used to it and instead making yourself having that kind of being discourage on whats happening then it will be much better that you do make out some trading plans on what the market might do whenever weekdays do hit.

So into the question whether you do still trade or not? If you dont see any viable positions or entries then why would be forcing yourself on making up a trade? Patience will be the main thing that will be that tested up when you do saw the market isnt giving out some good movements but rather it is making up some sideways movement on which it will be causing up such boredom and ending up on rushing up on making positions. Patience would be tested out and if you cant be able to sustain then you are bound to make out some mistakes and errors.

You've spoken well. If I've been patient enough, I believe my win percentage would be higher now.. like my mentor use to say trading is a work in progress. Well I'll be putting my practice to use his the trading competition myself buddy mentioned. It's on Bitget and the chips are high given the current market conditions

We have different kind of traders in the market, we're talking about traders that know what to expect and following the high volatility of the pairs in the market. These categories of traders are always in full direction and ready to execute their plannings. There are traders who have equipped themselves to be very concrete and knowing what to expect in the marker. They're not afraid or get frighten by the bearish signs occurring in these charts. Trading can be made tough and also easy at same time, we have nothing to lose than gear upon our strategy for winning.

There are some people who chase those trading competitions, but the reality is, if you trade those coins and tokens, without realizing how and where they could go, then you may not make a profit, even if you win a reward, you may lose money on it.

The best way to move forward would be just considering how you could make money based on what you can achieve. If you could be more careful, then you are going to do better job at it, there won't be much trouble with it. Life isn't fair always, and in times like these, trading isn't easy and you may end up making a loss even if you tried to do everything correctly. These are one of those times where you may not end up with a better result, so you should be careful with it.

I believe that even in turbulent times, there are opportunities for those who can navigate the risks effectively

it's even more opportunity in the market if i'm being honest, unlike normal days where price might be stagnating a bit and lacking price movement, current market is like wave, going up and down, I personally have tried trading for these past few days using normal technical analysis and it's pretty effective, if you see from the chart, price always bounce back at support.

just be sure to avoid the days of massive dumping though like when trump suddenly make announcement related to the economy, because the market will become really turbulent, at that point technical analysis will become useless.

but it's not wrong to stop trading for the time being especially for people who're used to trading with moderate price movement. because if you don't know the way to make profit, you're more likely to lose.

[SmartGold01]

For me, to win on this market condition it's better to stick to DCA as it's the only sure method to have much coin in your possession than trading, though there are people who are guru on future trading which they trade and make profits while the market is down. For those altcoins you listed well, I don't trust them as anything is possible and likely to happened as altcoin could be easily manipulated so it would be better to stick on BTC accumulation with time the market would recover and you makes double of what you have accumulated.

[jcojci]

My weekend is stable, not loss much or profit big in trading. But yesterday, I made a nice profit from future trading where I did a long position in $75k and wait for a day and close my trade when reach the high price.

I consider that is luck for me to profit yesterday but I don't trade now and only see the market move. I don't know with the coins you mention @OP. But if you think the coin can give you the opportunity to profit, why not? But you must research and analyze for more.

[Peanutswar]

Based on my experience, only those people who have early access or entry on the project are the ones who are profitable with this kind of event because they got allocated with their fund wallet already and to those who would like to make an entry at least get a background with the project which has potential most likely they are offering to the exchanges with pre-selling so at least people can get an oppiorty to accumulate tokens before they hold or flip whatever they want to.

Yes, that's right. Whatever the market condition, it depends on your mastery of the market. If you do master and are confident in taking opportunities when the market is like this, it's a good thing to make a profit, but if not, it's better to avoid the market and wait for the market to return to normal.

Because people's strategies in trading are different, so it depends on your confidence in your own analysis. Sometimes there are many big waves, the stakes are high, and sometimes there are almost no ripples (volatility). There are thousands of traders in the ocean, all trying to catch the wave (profit). The difference between those who succeed and those who don't, is that the winners take their time, wait for the best entry point, and exit cleanly and safely. If you try to follow every wave, you may be driven by emotions and the thrill of making a profit, which will lead to destruction. So the choice is your own belief.

[tvplus006]

...For traders conditions like this are not profitable at all, they will continue to be brought down to the lower area and as long as they have not found the lowest point to buy, then I think trading in conditions like this is not a good choice.

For a trader, it doesn't matter what phase the market is in, as he makes money not only on a bullish trend, but also on a bearish one. Don't forget that there are also short positions. It is a recognized fact that the higher the volatility, the higher the profit is obtained from trading for those who know how to trade.

[leonair]

The volatility of different coins varies at different times. Because different companies give different updates about their coins, as well as different types of big investors make different comments, the price movements of different coins are seen at different times in the market. When you trade, it will not matter how volatile the coin is if you are an expert in trading and you can do very detailed analysis. But if you do not know how to do market analysis, then in that case, no matter how low the volatility of the coin you are trading is, you will not be able to profit from it in any way. And as you can see from the image you posted, if that is your intention, then this may be a wrong decision for you. Because you will not get a very big reward according to the amount of participation here, so if you lose in trading, you will always be at a loss.

I think the current market is more about a period of re-accumulation. Because many trading pairs are at their lowest prices at the moment. But if what is being discussed is daily trading then the current market is more suitable for Scalping. Because high volatility allows traders to take advantage of moments of rapid decline and increase to reap profits. As long as the trader knows what to do in current market conditions.

Regarding the trading pairs you mentioned, to be honest, I haven't tried them. And I personally am more interested in trading pairs that have a fairly high trading volume which is usually found in coins that have a large market cap.

Professional traders can always analyze what action to take in any market situation. Market situation is not a factor. Professional traders can analyze everything and predict the market situation in advance. Holders always look for dip markets and wait for the price of all potential points including Bitcoin to drop. And at that time traders get scared.

Even though the market cap of a coin is low, the trading volume of that coin is very high, which definitely indicates that the price of a coin is going up. If you can find those coins, you can get good profits by trading from them in a very short time. But how many people can find them?

I think that is if we are investing, because in investing you need to be early as much as possible to reap more benefits but we are talking about trading here and in trading, it is okay to be late since it was only the volatility is the ones that we are after here. You mentioned allocated fund there but anyone who is involved here have allocated their fund onto something.

Moreover, it is also possible to earn for free if the platform offer a free bonus, an airdrop or something similar to these. Whether we are a trader or investor, we can't go wrong doing a research or background checking. It helps us even better to earn or at least not get scammed.

[Negotiation]

In fact the crypto market is not stable and the risk is much higher if you do not have good knowledge about trading. Overall it is easy for those who have knowledge about trading to make profits in the future the coins you mentioned seem to be quite new I do not have knowledge about them. New tokens come out every day which have no real technology or use case people are trapped by just hype promises and the lure of sudden profits. From this investing in bitcoin is a much safer and future oriented decision than altcoins long term investment will get good results.

Knows on how the market on how it do moves? Thats too much if we do speak about knowing into the actual price movement. We do know that there's no one into this world would really be able to know on what would really be the price on the next minute. The only edge on here about on professionals is that they are having that those knowledge that they would definitely be doing on something on which that not other traders will be able to do so. It all matters about knowledge and on the skills that on a certain person could have because if you do sees up that this market condition is shit, then it would be understandable that you would be refrain up on doing something with it and trying out to divert yourself on trading up specially if the volatility is just that too much because of some other sentiments or factors that do really affects it out. So it will be basing up on how you do act out accordingly, but pretty sure that not all will be having on the same views and actions to be made on.
