True, risk management and patience are very important when the bitcoin price is moving slowly. But also a slow market will also not necessarily mean a good buying opportunity is coming on the way. This is because sometimes the can just remain within a certain range for a long time, and even the pro trader could get their predictions wrong. Trading volume, support, and resistance can actually help understand market activity but they are really not guaranteed what next is going to happen.

Another thing is that it’s not everyone that is holding bitcoin that actually need to trade when the market moves. Like the long term investors, we do not need to take any action for a temporary slowdown. Instead of checking worrying about price, we are more focused on achieving investment plan goal.

Finally for the traders, never consider an excessive leverage because you want to make quick money. else, you might lose your whole asset.

I don't think you're talking from a trading perspective and not from the supposed investor's mindset or standpoint. There are a couple of things that trigger fear or panic in the mind of an investor or if you are a trader: a lack of knowledge of what you've invested in and an asset that you trade and when you might have risked way higher than your risk threshold.

Op, you don't have to monitor the market situation all the time if you have a proper understanding of the market behavior, choose long-term over short-term gains, and have peace of mind. I rest my case.

In summary of all you are saying here is that we should use the time the market is in consolidation to study the market direction, avoid unnecessary trading and manage our risk and plan for opportunities, but to be honest with you here, the only thing you should be doing when the market is in consolidation is avoid it entirely, until it broke out of consolidation, because trading it that moment is like gambling, since it has no clear pathway or clear indication of what the market is trying to do next.

I like this that you added to your post in the conclusion part. Some people will think that trading is all about making money everyday but that is not true. Trading daily is one of the ways traders will easily be losing their money, I have said it several times on the forum but I know some people will continue to trade daily. I prefer those that trade and leave their trades opened for weeks or months and use just little leverage. This is the pro traders that I know. But if anyone do not like that, they can do what I see to be the best which is to hodl their coins longer before selling.

I think you are unto two things here, an investor and a traders. An investor who is interested in buying bitcoin and holding it for a long term does not necessarily need the market to be hot before they start accumulating, when the market is slow during certain period in a bear season, that's even when an investor would buy more bitcoin at discount prices but the person have to define their investment goal and design a plan for achieving it, just like some investors will choose DCA strategy and it work perfectly well for them. As for the 3 hits you gave, it's mostly traders that needs them and not someone that is planning to hold their coins for a long term as the person doesn't have any business with studying the market direction.

A good traders knows when to avoid the market and stop trading until the market starts to move normal again in a more predictable manner. Some traders can start for days, weeks or even months without taking a trade because they probably have not seen their edge and so they will have to patiently wait without forcing trades, that's what good traders do.

If you have knowledge about trading then you should talk about trading, don't force yourself to talk about investing. I think you need to be an investor to talk about investor sentiment and the impact on investors during market volatility, only then you can talk or understand the investor sentiment that is created during market volatility. From what I can tell from your words, you are not a real investor or you don't have any investment funds.

A real investor does not suffer in any way in buying or holding during market volatility, rather it becomes easier to buy at this time. As you say that FOMO is created in the minds of investors at this time or etc., from my point of view these do not have a big impact. The impact of market volatility is created by investors with a trading mindset and those who do not yet know well about investing. But I still do not understand why you are saying that it is becoming difficult to continue investing these days? If the market is in a recession, then continuing to invest should have been easier!

When the market moves slowly, long term investors have very little to worry about because short term price movements should not be their main concern. A slow market is something short term traders need to pay more attention to because they depend on these movements to make profits. During a slow market, many things can happen, especially the formation of liquidity pools. If you are not careful, you could end up becoming liquidity for the market yourself. This is why short-term traders need to be very careful and pay close attention to price movements. Long-term investors, on the other hand, have less to worry about because their main goal is to profit from long-term market movements rather than short-term price changes.

The same way I thought. Seems he had a mixed point agenda. At first, it seems he was coming from an investors mindset, but as his point because more clearer, it was clear he was on the part of trading and making profit.

Of course, there is no problem with wanting to make profits from there is investment, but it shouldn't be the order of the day. Infact, as you suggested, investment mindset would have been the best. Because when we are trade oriented, there is every possiblity that we will always want to sell to make profits.

When there is low time, investors should know that Bitcoin is volatile and it will always climb in time coming.

If you are even a trader, then it is better to look out for other crypto and not bitcoin because bitcoin is best considered from an investment point of view and not as an asset that one should be trading. you are only concerned because you are a trader, if you were to be an investor, then there would not have been a reason to be concerned because every delay presents an opportunity to buying at a much cheaper rate which means that you are not just wasting time while waiting but that you are opportune to buying at a much cheaper rate.

whether you are an investor or a trader, you have to focus on what you can control and let go of what is outside your control. the way the market moves is dependent on buyers and sellers decision as well as whales influence on the market. as an ordinary retails investor or a mere trader, it is just best to set up a strategy that works in the different market condition such that regardless of what is happening, you are sure that you are not at a loss.

 Your post is good but you'll need to focus on investment or trading instead of combining both, I know there are people who believe they can be done simultaneously, maybe they can but note that there are newbies who barely understand the market talk more of simultaneously trading and investing, such message isn't helpful to them.
 Doing both could make them lose. For instance trading requires speculating price movements and what it would be at certain points but investment requires holding regardless of how the market moves, how can a beginner manage both simultaneously?

I guess you are in the good terms to differentiate between Trading and Investment because here, you are switches and mixes the whole contexts which literally doest not make hold of contact if your base is talking about the attributes of traders or investors.

Actually, Bitcoin investors don't really have to keep eyes on monitoring the market movements because the goal is always aimed for for a long term and while volatility remains unpredictable, it is unhealthy and a helpless efforts of tracking the market price on the regular basis.
Rather, it is traders who are after of short term goals that are delegated to run that abouts (tracking market price) while looking out for how to make immediate profits which trading risks is likely be assumed as that of gambling due to the market uncertainty.

OP, you seems to be promoting more about trading here when me and you know very well that the best way to deal with bitcoin is by holding it strong. I know we all have every right to do what pleases us in our respective lives. But personally, i rather hold it tight than trading it. Why, because trading is still not saved than holding. When you invest it, it gives you more peace of mind than trading, again you have a higher chance of benefiting than trading.

However, i know I may be countered based on my opinion, but that is the truth. It takes a lot to be a successful trader in real live but with just a strong hold hand through long term investment plan you are made for live.

I think you are just expecting that the Bitcoin market will always be bullish. If the market behavior is only one-sided, then that market will not survive. I have been in the Bitcoin market for several years and I have some idea about the Bitcoin market and from that idea I am saying that there is always volatility in the market and sometimes the market goes down but later the market goes up again. If you observe the full chart of the market carefully then you will see that the market has hit the highest level several times, from the lowest level to this highest level but it does not happen in a day or two but it happens over a long period of time.

If you are into trading then I can tell you this much that you understand the market movement well and then decide on this matter and if you cannot do anything very well in trading then I will advise you to invest because then you will not have so much pressure in investing.

It is not possible to say exactly what the btc market will be like at any time, but compared to other coins, even though bitcoin's progress seems slow, this is the best way. Those who come to invest for a long time never get disappointed by seeing these things. They always try to maintain their position and do something good. If the bitcoin market goes towards a bad situation, it is normal that all investors will feel a little sad.

‎2. Unnecessary trading should be avoided :

This is what is important when the market is dull. In fact, to avoid trading for that moment should be the better advantage instead of risking your funds because not trading at all is same as trading and retaining what you have. So when the market is dull, what is happening is sentiment, indecisiveness and uncertainties. Most big traders don't swim in water that they are not certain of where it is leading to and the best time to trade is when direction is shown. Low volume of trade means lesser activities of buying and selling in the market, so why risking your funds in such situation. Low waves of price action can turn into trap that you won't come out from until you have lost that trade.

Using the words "investor" and "trader" interchangeably can be misleading on the basis of this context. You have to be specific so that people will understand that there is a clear difference between both of them especially on how they should approach the market. In a nutshell,  traders are the people that care about market direction, trends and keen interest on that the chart is saying because entering and exiting at the right time and price is paramount to their success. On the contrary, investors are not interested in all that because what they care about is buying and holding. If your post is about trading, then everything you have said is correct and very mucb appreciated but on the basis of investing, they are not relevant.

It is mostly those that makes the mistake of using money that is for their expenses that panic when the market isn't going the way they expected, although even those that invested with discretionary may still panic. Long term investor aren't moved by the short term market movement because they are not after quick profit, rather they are focused on achieving their long term goals by being consistent in buying bitcoin. It is traders that are much interested in monitoring the market in other to buy at a lower price and to sell when there investment has appreciated, because they want to make quick profit .

Naturally panicking isn’t a good idea when we are holding for long term but we are human with feelings so we panic even if it little during the market dips but what we shouldn’t be doing most especially for those holding for long term is overreacting just because the market shifts it movement. We shouldn’t overreact and instantly make decisions of selling when we are holding for a long term, let stay patient and calm during this market corrections.

However, let always be aware of how risky it is to invest with the money we can’t afford to loss and most importantly we shouldn’t invests with the money that isn’t our discretionary income because we might end up regretting our decision.

When the market volatility is slow I rather advise to avoid trading if the goal is to take quick profit but it the idea is geared towards long term hold I will suggest to go all in with full certainty that despite the direction the market follows after the range move it will surely make an uptrend in the end.

Panicking is mostly common amongst newbies but it's of importance that investors keep panic aside build on their emotions and hold despite what direction the market makes. Investors are less concerned about market move all the do is take advantage of every move and buy as much as they can.
