Markets no action no volatility slow and boring and no gains in economy

[trendcoin]

we need money everyday and need to pay bills we want to be traders.

Yes, we all want a lot of money, and that’s why we’re at the heart of the financial world, but we can’t risk our kids’ livelihoods or the money we need to pay our bills in markets like these. First and foremost, our purpose in the financial markets shouldn’t be to cover our monthly bills. We need to make longer-term plans here...

Smart money has been sitting in interest for a very long time. Some people consider areas like gold, oil, and crypto risky because they expect the markets to experience another major crash...

I don’t have any very strong or clear predictions, but if a major crash does happen, I’ll put my bill money into this area... :)

In my personal point of view, right now the market is in a cold phase where no one is showing any interest due to many geopolitical affairs and unhealthy relations between some major countries. Aside from this, there is nothing wrong if we call it a consolidation phase also, where the market moves to the next straight position in major cases, showing less volatility. Because right now, those you bought at a higher position in the spot section have no chance to hold their holdings further; or, other than this, new money is not entering the way it should be pumping back the market. Now you need to implement my sayings on demand and supply fundamentals; you will get the answer to this yourself. This is why I think we are facing this market situation today. DYOR!

He is not referring only to the market of Bitcoin, but to the market in general (he mentions gold, oil...). But it is not very well understood because, as for the latter, although I don't check their value every day and they may have fluctuated little in the last week, we are coming from a season of great volatility and an unprecedented increase in prices until new ATHs both in gold and crude oil.

It is true that times of low volatility, such as the one we are experiencing now with Bitcoin, can be boring, but as we always repeat, this is a long-term investment where patience should pay off. If I remember correctly, historically, price peaks last on average less than ten days a year, so we could say that this is the general trend and not the exception.

Gold and oil are fluctuating more than they usually do. The reason is war.

I have been following the prices of gold for some time, and in the last few days, the prices have increased in the local market, so you can say they were really volatile than before. But saying Bitcoin is not volatile is wrong.

Some members said it might be becoming mature like gold, but that's not the case either. It is just in a consolidating phase. But still, there is some volatility. It is not that boring either. The price is consolidating from $62k to $65k, and the range is small for BTC, that's true, but at least it is not staying in a much closer range. Yes, it is the general trend. We should not doubt the timing and the BTC cycle.

From a trader's perspective, volatility is necessary and it's true, because without movement, short term opportunities are reduced. However high volatility also means the possibility of large losses.  Bitcoin's volatility has decreased compared to what we have seen before, but it is still quite active compared to traditional assets. I would say that the real issue is not how high the volatility is, but whether the movement is predictable or tradeable. For a good trader a 2% controlled move is often more useful than a 10% random move. Patience is needed when the market is slow, and risk management is even more necessary when the market is fast.

That anyone was able to go into a business or investment was because there is volatility in the assets he has invested, this determine the selling point as well as the buying point for each individual who are interested to go into the market or exit from it by selling, we cannot make any decision without seeing the market being volatile and this is what determines how profitable we are going to be with our investment made.

[Localhostspeed]

If you are not an experienced trader, you won't really see what's going on in the market. You are only seeing less volatility outside, that's why you think its boring and less profitable. But for real traders, the challenges are still everywhere, and risk and threats are still felt once a single wrong move is applied.

The truth is, volatility in the market never stops, because its what keeping the traders thrilled and excited in every trading action and decision. Volatility may be less visible at some times, but you can't tell that there is no volatility happening in the market.

I think the market has volatility but it's more of a reactive volatility which mostly is due to what is happening between US and other countries. We saw how the US president was threatening other countries with tariffs, new policies and the war against Iran affected the stock market and other markets. Bitcoin is not left out that is why we have not seen a stable volatility in many assets but Gold did try it best if you look at it's performance since last year.

I don't think if we will see altcoins do well, the greed in altcoins is what kills them that is why Bitcoin is up there trading at higher price while many alts that people consider to be the best coin are not doing well. Maybe in the future, there will be demand for them but now people are tired of the same moves from altcoins. All of us want to see volatility so that we will make profits but we are not discussing the after effect of altcoins volatility.

Volatility certainly brings the opportunities to the trader's table, but a slow market doesn't necessarily indicate that the economy is not picking up. The markets go in cycles and a time of low volatility is normal. These periods of calm can present opportunities for traders to find less short-term trading action, but for investors, it can be a time to take advantage of the stability to buy assets at reasonable prices. Indeed, an uninteresting day may be a better day than an overly volatile one as it allows businesses and investors to make decisions and plan without having to deal with so much speculation. It is important to know the market cycle, not to anticipate price fluctuations. In many instances, the quiet periods are merely the lull prior to the next big event.

You are treating Bitcoin to be an investment platform that guarantees investors certain ROI after certain period of time, but that's not true. It's all matters to quantity, the value of Bitcoin isn't that necessary, if you focus on increasing the quantity each time you purchase Bitcoin, that would be more unique and make you stay ahead of every investors who only look out for the value.

One thing I’ve always crossed my mind is, if we can really see Bitcoin to qualify as a platform. I’m not quite settled on the matter as, I’ve always associated that qualifier to be native to Ponzi schemes. Bitcoin isn’t exactly a platform the way I see it.

However, having some level of dependency and expectations from Bitcoin would be a wrong approach entirely.

I consider trading as a quick money scheme not long term, trading is the highest form of mental disturbances that seems to be accepted by many, those who had done and taking more time into it had confirmed the effect of it in their lifestyle, it's very risky and not worth it generating wealth from it.

A mind that is fixated on profit making isn’t someone I would advise to trade the cryptocurrency market. Such individual might not be able to handle themselves when the loses come and we know how one can easily lose a huge amount in a short time, trading.

[Russlenat]

Volatility will not assure profitability. If you don't know how to play its game, you will still be in the losing end. Do not blame the market if there is less volatility, because at times the rate of volatility changes and create different reactions in the market. That's why volatility can sometimes be a threat, without noticing it.

However, if your target goal is to secure sustainable income, don't just trade and rely in the market volatility. Invest in bitcoin and in different potential assets. With multiple investments working, that will guarantee for a regular flow of income, and even unlimited flow of income.

Look around gold oil btc forex altcoins sit on idle we ain't trade for boring slow things we need money gains and movement.

There is time that market moves slowly due to the bad economic condition around the world or the change of the cycle. This is just normal in financial market, I don't see anything wrong. If you feel bored, you can move to another asset that you think to be more interesting. However, I'll keep with Bitcoin and Gold. I'm quite satisfied with the current market condition because I can accumulate them again.

Sol meme tokens even are slow no volatility you can see token just stay and not moving.

What do expect from meme tokens? This isn't a good choice for investment, or even for trading.

Many people have enough, where is volatility? If price swings up and down a lot then profit can be made even just by luck, big guys talking about big plans future plans and btc future prices but its not enough we need money everyday and need to pay bills we want to be traders.

That's why you don't solely rely on trading. For monthly income, it is better earned from established jobs.
We know the market won't always move as we expected. We can always expect for the huge volatility every time. There must be sideways, it is the time for a lower volatility in the market.

Volatility need to be back on markets this will save traders again

The huge volatility will be back in the bullish market. If you mean BTC market, it is expected to return in 2028-2029.

Volatility need to be back on markets this will save traders again

Yes, current market price movements are quite slow, but I think that's perfectly normal. If you're looking for a fast-moving market, don't look for assets with big names, because assets like Bitcoin and forex clearly don't move very quickly. But that's where the security lies, and it's not too risky. Imagine trading in an asset with very fast price movements, I think you're very vulnerable to losses. While it's true that you have the potential to profit, it's still very dangerous.

So, I suggest not having high expectations that assets with high volatility will bring quick profits. Furthermore, if you're interested in Binance, there are many assets that tend to pump crazily, so that might not be what you're looking for, haha. But yes, I hope you don't invest in such coins, because they're clearly very risky. So, it's better to play it safe, even if it's a little slow.

I think anyone who is fixed on making profits can trade the cryptocurrency market and make profits, cryptocurrency market is one of the easiest ones to trade and nothing much is going on here. People act like the cryptocurrency market is so technical but I do not see that instead I see a masked that depends on hype for traders to make profits without any real events and if you are smart enough, you can make money too. The market is volatile but not that hard to figure things  out and make profits. Being greedy will make you lose but you can have your eyes on profits without having to be too greedy that you do not know when to stop.

[Maslate]

Even if there is high volatility, it won't guarantee to keep traders in profits. In fact, with high volatility, it only increases the risk for financial loss.

And by telling us that the market is boring and has no action, you might be wrong with that assumption. The market is even more challenging seeing bitcoin price continues to drop, that will test us who among here really understand the market and have remain hopeful with bitcoin.

However, bitcoin price is now rising, those who doubt bitcoin and decide to sell them are probably regretting by now.

Agree with you. Volatility even brings a bigger risk for traders if they can't use proper strategy. However, if traders choose the right strategy, they can take bigger advantage on the higher volatility in the market. So, this all depends on the capability or skills of the traders themselves.

And by telling us that the market is boring and has no action, you might be wrong with that assumption. The market is even more challenging seeing bitcoin price continues to drop, that will test us who among here really understand the market and have remain hopeful with bitcoin.

He may have no idea because he still have lack understanding about market. If they know the market well, he will never feel bored. Moreover if he is a long term holder, the current market condition is even good for accumulating crypto coins (especially Bitcoin).

However, bitcoin price is now rising, those who doubt bitcoin and decide to sell them are probably regretting by now.

Indeed. Bitcoin price has be raising quite significant for few days. If he has bought some coins before the current pump, he probably has taken some profits now.

Trading profitability can be easier said than done. Because let's accept it, if trading is not that hard and risky, then majority of the traders are definitely in profits, but reality goes the opposite way. Majority are still losing from trading, especially those who are expecting sure profits from trading.

But here's the catch, if you are really a smart trader, you can overcome the market challenges and still end up trading profitable. Unfortunately, even smart traders admit that there is no easy to profit from trading, that's why trading requires a very wise strategy to make it succeed and profitable.

Agree, most traders are in loss compare the very few people who regularly in profit. There is big distinction of those who are successfull on daily trade and not. Just like you said, if trading is too easy to make profit people should be trading now and make their retirement on their work irl, but crypto is too volatile that it can make earn 90% today and make make a negative PnL tomorrow. Or in loss for several days and take profit after or the other way around.

All that you mentioned is the current reality across various markets, crypto, Forex, gold, and the oil market, and all due to the escalating tension of the ongoing conflict between the US, Iran, and Israel, plus Russia's invasion of Ukraine. There's a lot of FUD in the market, and many investors are gradually losing interest in pouring their funds into various markets because of one unfavorable event or another, ranging from trade wars to tariff sanctions.

And the market was even worse when the tariff war was still on where you don't know what the US president will be waking up to announce the next day that could affect the market. Currently, people are not only scared to pure in money they are also making reserve to observe the next phase of the market to avoid actually being in that tension when their money is in.

I hope that you are seeing the market situation right now, this is why slow and steady price action is a calling to every smart people out there, every boring moment is a preparation for the next move.

It seems you don't know much about trading, because this type of mindset shouldn't be coming from someone who thinks that they know trading, there is no better time to be a investor than such time.

People still trade on sideways movement, it's you that lacks the knowledge about how to go with it.

The tariff issue has no impact anymore. But people may still feel afraid of the world economic condition in the next few years. Also, any statement from US president and US policy can influence the financial market. So, we must be always careful with our approach in any investment. However, if we look the current market condition, everything seems rising well. The market changes drastically from the bearish to the bullish. Sure, this can be temporary but it is a positive change at least.

It seems you don't know much about trading, because this type of mindset shouldn't be coming from someone who thinks that they know trading~

He may be a newbie. So, it is quite understandable that he doesn't know well about trading. If he is quite experienced, he won't care with any market condition. He knows there will be always a chance for taking profits.

People still trade on sideways movement, it's you that lacks the knowledge about how to go with it.

Indeed. Professional traders still can trade an get good profits in any market condition. In sideways, there must be still some changes in prices although it can be slower than before.
