So what are you cuurently doin right now? following the previous bear market conditon or just observing

I don't think volume is the best metric to measure how crypto market is performing. Sometimes a very bearish trend can lead to high trading volume, same thing with a very bullish trend. Also, there's no point of measure crypto trading volume in USD as well because the coin prices keep changing. Today 100,000 BTC traded = 8,400,000,000 USD. A couple of years back the same amount of BTC was worth 2,100,000,000 USD

Trading volume is one bad metric to use to analyze the crypto market although you can separate each cryptocurrency coin with its volume I think that still the volume is bad metrics. Bitcoin volume doesn’t signifies buying alone but can be also selling. A bearish day can have a very high volume due to sell pressure which doesn’t put the market at a good position. The bitcoin and the cryptocurrency  market volume at large this days can be attributed to all this short term traders when they open positions most especially with high leverage I think it gives a very huge volume which we know isn’t significantly having any long term impact on the market as it is simply a short term trade

Well if you want to see it like this, then I don't know what expectations were all over the world, mine was surely since we already hit ATH months ago then logically we should be dropping off to where we are. That's what happens with BTC, it's not a slow gain ATH after ATH like gold, its just a cycle looking at supply than suffering from all the speculator TP.

Why just observe? is there any benefit to be gained by just observing?
I think the important thing is the steps taken, I still have Bitcoin and sell when I feel the need to sell and also buy or save the results of the income from this forum, always observing the price without taking action will not get any profit, and whatever the current market conditions always calculate the risk.

I agree, in every price spike, correction always follows but Bitcoin has the record of performing another price spike after its correction.  The history record of Bitcoin price can attest to that, so as long as the market has not transitioned to bear market yet, the possibility of Bitcoin market creating another ATH record is very possible.

Besides observing, I try to take my chance to buy low and sell high as the price is up and down many times. I can get the time to buy low, hodl it for a while, and sell it when increase. I also can make a nice profit in leverage trading but I don't chase bigger profit, only take $3-$5 in every time I trade is enough for me.

But if my analysis say the market will still down to the next low price, I will stop my trade and just observing. It is too risky if we still trade because in a few weeks ago, I lose my money in trading but fortunately, I still hold my Bitcoin and not sell it at a loss.
