When the Bitcoin market is slow

[CryptoHeadlineNews]

‎Conclusion

‎When bitcoin market is slow it gives you the  privilege to study and prepare very well, by  applying discipline in trading,  if you want to be successful in trading, it's not all about trading everyday but it's all about getting it right at once with the right strategies by knowing that it is volatile too.

Yes, this advice is for Bitcoin traders, because when it comes to regular investor whose plan is to accumulate as much Bitcoin as possible through the Dollar Cost Averaging method, when the price of bitcoin starts falling, then that alone is an opportunity to acquire more Bitcoin. Because it's not everybody that must learn how to trade, and likewise not everybody must know how to read a chart in other to ascertain its next potential direction. But what everybody can do in such a situation is be patient and not take an uncalculated investment risk. Moreover, the current price of Bitcoin is $81,600 per BTC, and for me, it's still above the $80k benchmark, and as such, I won't consider this low.

Anything concerning the Bitcoin or crypto currency market at large requires an ample amount of patience and knowledge of the risk parameters involved because without this, capital would be lost, knowledge of where the smart money is positioned won't be known and there won't be preparation enough for when the market awakens.

So it's good to learn patience, risk management, learn to avoid over leverage and of course focus on the long term goal mostly while the market is sluggish.

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.

Monitoring the market like you life depends on it will fuel you fear of bitcoin's price movement, the slightest change in the price will affect you in a negative or positive way depending on the direction and it's not a smart move for an investor to make.
Bitcoin investors already know that bitcoin is a volatile asset, they expect the price to move, it's one of the reasons why most are holding, for the price to move up but they also understand that it can move towards the opposite direction and that too is natural, fighting it is pointless.
Even smarter investors will be when the price goes down instead o letting it scare them near to death, they see price drops as opportunities instead of something to be worried about.

A slow market that is consolidating in one position is a sign of a possible breakout in the market. Once the consolidation is over, the market either breaks up and continue moving or breaks down and do the same. To avoid unnecessary risk while trading such market, you should wait for a clear breakout especially if you’re not a professional trader before you begin to look for opportunities to trade again in the market.

A consolidation in the market is a big opportunity to trade for most traders that knows the overall trend of the market and can manage their risk well, as as an opportunity it is, it also poses significant risk if the market doesn’t breakout in the same direction you predicted for it. So proper risk management is key in whatever situation you find yourself in the market.

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.

Trading daily, a week time or keeping your trading open for a very long  time does not determine the final outcome of your trade, because you may stay away from the market for long and still start losing money once you decide to resume, because it's not the main cause of losing in trading.

Though losing in trading is inevitable, but that losing can be reduced if you are treating trading like hunting where you will wait patiently for hours until you spot an opportunity that may not fail. If you treat trading like that, I bet you that you losing will reduce a lot, just that it's very difficult to be monitoring the market for hours and not compel to trade, due to emotional pressure.

From an investor's perspective, I think there should be no need to check the market constantly for news or any kind of action, there should be every awareness that this is a long term goal and a time range should be set during this period where consecutive investments are made to this regard.

There is no need for the whole trader's ideology or strategy, like you mentioned unnecessary trading, studying the market direction and risk management. That is totally unrelated to long term investment, because it's a full time commitment outside all of this mentioned.

[Derekfunds]

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.

You are right it is never encourage for a trader to execute trade when the market is ranging or consolidating because in that moment the market doesn't have a direction, it will be moving zig zag within a particular price and it can be very risky to take a trade at that period and I am very sure a reasonable and discipline trader will never try to execute trade untill there is a break of structure either to the up side or down side and there is a high chance of making losses at this period.

[Odogwu-Blockchain]

as an investor that knows the trade what you ought to do is to remain patient and observe the next move very well by regular monitoring the trading volume and identifying key support and the resistance position.

How about those who doesn't know all these set up about trading, what should they do?
Personally, I benefitted from trading without even knowing all these trading terminologies by just enjoying the pain that the decrease in price brings by not selling at all.

I also never joke with the opportunity of slow moments whenever I have Fiat available in my Naira account, to accumulate little amount of crypto in as much as I can.

I don't need to know setups and all of the crypto fundamental and technical analysis, I don't.

‎What to Do When the Bitcoin Market Is Slow:

I would want to believe that everyone that invest in Bitcoin has a plan that he or she has set aside and intends to honor, in the sense that regardless of the trend of the market, you will hold till you get to a particular figure or through how many cycles, i want to believe you have had that conversation with your self before investing any more into Bitcoin. If the market is truly slow then the best thing to do is relax and study the current trend, it might help in predicting the future ones.
I personally would just use the chances to relax, i mean im invested here but when everywhere is slow, i just think even the body and mind need to respond to that and be relaxed

[Yorubek]

When the market is calm, the wise do not despair, they wait for a better time with a calm mind because they know that the market will gradually return to a good position, so it is reasonable to remain calm.

For investors who invest with a long-term plan, this is not the time to be restless or panic, it is reasonable to remain calm now, invest as much as you can, and be patient. It is not possible for anyone to be sure in advance when the price of Bitcoin will rise or fall, so since the market is calm, it is most effective to remain calm and be patient at this time.

Personally, I will remain calm at this time, invest within my means, and wait until I reach a specific goal.

The Bitcoin market is not bullish all the time, there are times when Bitcoin dip drastically, and those who are new to Bitcoin investing might struggle to understand this. The only thing you have to do is to remain calm, and do not mind any turbulence in the market, the Bitcoin market might be down for some time, but will not continue in such downward direction. Whoever that is investing in Bitcoin should ensure to gain at least the primary knowledge, because that will help you to navigate the investing process safely. When the Bitcoin market is slow not everyone endures it, some will feel discouraged, and eventually give up on their investment.

‎1. ‎Study the market direction
‎Studying the Bitcoin price direction is very important, this will enable you to understand when the market is moving horizontally or giving signal of crash,  will also help you trade on right time instead of wrong signal while trading. And ensure you pay attention to the trading volume reason because it will help you to assess your market.‎

I think all these things comes down to the person’s perspective, it has to do with your investment approach. The question I always ask myself anytime I hear traders discuss about charts, trading volume and trying to time the market is, why do they spend so much of their time and energy studying and watching the market price when they can just follow a DCA plan and slowly build up their position?

Instead of putting yourself in unnecessary pressure and be worried about short term price fluctuations, i think it’s better to be consistent with your purchases and give it time. The main thing I think is to have an idea of what you want to do, and to find a method that will work for you, instead of thinking that you have to be in front of the market at all times in order to be a successful Bitcoin investor.

The Bitcoin market cant be predicted and their is no way you can study the market and get the exact understanding of what the market is up to. For traders they may want to study the market and look into the market to make their decisions on how to go about their trading but as for those who are buying bitcoin and hodling, it has nothing to do with trying to understand the market because the market is unpredicted and you can only make good profit by long-term and not trying to understand the market.  For investors, trying to understand the market slow their investment.

The word touched most "not bullish all time" where many are getting it wrong is not noting this character and behavior of the market are value then at the moment they occur to used mostly market turning red to accumulate more rather than focusing when it green, what make Bitcoin market volatile is the rise and fall but that doesn't mean market will not rise again after fallen it's just adjusting and creating better opportunity to those who understands the market and uses it to buy more rather than panic, the reason it's more advisable to keep enhancing in understanding the market characteristics is to avoid unnecessary panic that will make you as investor make some silly mistake without missing words 'AmaGold70' has give advance key words of knowledge to one lacking such understanding.

I have seen people who trade like this, I mean been at the front of chart for long becoming mentally ill. Trading doesn't need you to do too much before getting profits, you just have to be free while doing it. Since money is involved, it had driven many to making silly decisions and emotional rollercoaster into a mess.

To win over it, the mindset of loosing money should be cultivated, whatever should happen should happen, you don't give a damn fuck.

‎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.

What the tension of a low market can cause is very high and leading to lost of funds when the proper approach is not giving, not controlling emotions when the price of Bitcoin is down most people sells of there holding with fear that not selling might lead to Lossing all what they have worked for all the years. Being strategic with making decisions while doing there is speculation about the Bitcoin market, every one can't be in the market still having there sanity intact when it comes to pressure.

Trading is difficult and complicated at same time, reason why a whole lot of trading strategy might be complicated is because these strategy might not give an accurate outcome for example tracking the market. Bitcoin is volatile, studying the market direction is really not certain a trader is going to get it correctly. Bitcoin market experiencing a dip or slow as mentioned is for a reason, bitcoin has a circle and at every event the price might likely experience a bull run or bear season no doubt traders also fallout if failure to trade moderately, for a fact the market plays a big role.

‎A lot of investors today finds it difficult to continue investing especially when the Bitcoin market is slow, knowing fully well that it's volatile, yet they still fall into depression and heartbreak when the Bitcoin market is slow. as an investor that knows the trade what you ought to do is to remain patient and observe the next move very well by regular monitoring the trading volume and identifying key support and the resistance position.

I think day traders prefer the market when volatility is high, not slow, they make profits from sharp movements, a fall or rise has an impact on their predictions, either they gain or lose money. Day traders are focused on quick profits, slow market conditions might not give the expected profits as a quick one does.

Investors see the market differently, when the market slows, especially in a dip, it becomes an opportunity to buy more and hope for the next dip.

An investor who understands the volatility of Bitcoin, and is ready for the long term investment plan wouldn't worry much about it's slow nature or when it becomes highly volatile in moving downwards in price. To some point, we know that all investor  will always want there assets to grow in price so that in subsequent time, they could make gains, but it doesn't mean that they completely get sad when the market is slow, except for day traders like you mentioned above.

So surely,  a Dip is really an opportunity for them to celebrate and buy more since they are already in for long term investment plan, they wouldn't be panicking. So the OP ifls somehow getting it mixed up. But as for the topic title,  when Bitcoin is slow, investors wouldn't be worrying, they would rather buy, while day traders would worry because it is opposite of what they wanted when they entered the market.

There are traders who can work with a not too volatile asset although the majority prefer assets with high volatility so they can finish it up as fast as possible.
I don't think that's what it should be based on though, a trade should be based of what asset is more likely to turn a profit than which is more volatile since a highly volatile asset can run you down as fast as it can give you profit.
I'm not a trader sha so i don't really know which one works better for them, na experienced traders go know more about that one since they've been doing it already.
