Why Do So Many People Lose Money in Range-Bound Markets?

In crypto trading, many people prefer trending markets because they can go long when prices rise and go short when they fall, making the direction relatively easy to judge.

But what often causes many traders to keep losing money is range-bound markets.

Why?

First, range-bound markets are especially prone to fake breakouts. BTC may just have broken through an important resistance level, making people think an uptrend is about to begin, but the price soon falls back into its previous range. Traders who chased the rally get trapped, whi

Conduct a survey: Is Bitcoin’s current trend a bear-market trap or a continuation of the downtrend?

On October 15, I said BTC at 68,000, ETH at 1,800, and SOL at 75. This range has been confirmed; you can look back at my post.
Let me share my thoughts on what comes next.
I just saw a blogger say the downside is around 67,500 and that there are long liquidations above—that is, longs getting liquidated on the upside. The information is true, but long liquidations don’t mean shorts are exiting; those are two different things. What we should be considering is that, as longs get liquidated, support levels below are breaking one by one. At present, the daily and weekly charts for these three coins

Eisman put the odds of OpenAI “dying suddenly” at 30%, and that’s no small number. He’s not simply saying that something could go wrong at one company. He’s saying that if this extreme scenario plays out, the U.S. could be dragged straight into a recession. That’s because this round of AI hype isn’t built on a single product; it rests on an entire chain powered by computing capacity: data centers need electricity, campuses need land, construction needs workers, and public-company valuations depend on index weightings to sustain demand. If any link in the chain breaks, the fallout can spread th

$BTC The recent market mood is quite interesting—everyone is watching inflation data as a compass, but the Fed is pointedly refusing to commit.
Vice Chair Jefferson’s remarks last Friday were a typical example: he put the inflation outlook at the center of his assessment of the policy stance, but when it came to specific actions, he immediately switched to the standard phrasing of “looking at the data, the outlook, and the balance of risks,” without saying a word about the timing or scale of rate hikes.
Looking back at the minutes of his last policy meeting, he voted to keep rates unchanged.

When many people see Bitcoin plunge, their first reaction is to buy the dip. But what is truly dangerous is often not missing the exact bottom, but rushing to put all your funds in before the market has stopped falling.

So, how can you tell whether the market is really approaching a bottom?

First, watch the downward momentum. If the price keeps making new lows but the pace of the decline clearly slows, selling pressure may be easing. Second, watch key support levels. If the price tests the same area multiple times without falling much further, there may be some buying s

In cryptocurrency futures trading, many people spend every day analyzing whether BTC will rise or fall, but overlook a very important question: Do you really understand the different order types available on trading platforms?

Sometimes, even if you correctly predict the market, an unreasonable order placement method can lead to an unfavorable entry price or even unnecessary losses.

First, limit orders. You can set a buy or sell price in advance and wait for the market to reach that price for the order to be filled. They are suitable for looking for buying opportunities near support levels o

Third-quarter revenue was $16.51 billion, up 21% year over year, with adjusted EPS of $0.52. The issue isn't how much it earned in the past, but that fourth-quarter revenue guidance is only $15 billion–$16 billion, raising conc

Every time I’m about to give up, Lao Ma always talks me out of it just in time with the data!!

ETH, October 30: Precise prediction! Primarily shorting at highs! The chart proves it! Today, November 14, half a month later, the large-cycle correction is complete! For the subsequent market, focus mainly on buying dips! Pay close attention to the 1730–1850 range! The major bottom is at 1500! Build spot positions in batches for the medium to long term! If 1500 breaks, it will enter a deep bear cycle! $ETH ‌

“Double Recovery” Dream Shattered! Starship Booster Explodes in the Gulf of Mexico, $SPCX Dark-Market Flash Crash!

On Starship’s 15th test flight, the booster failed to be caught by the mechanical arms and exploded during a controlled splashdown. As a result, SPCX plunged to around 136.52 in dark-market trading.

Lao Zhang’s take: This is the price of trial and error with the V3 architecture. The spacecraft successfully entered orbit and deployed Starlink; the core thesis remains intact. The selloff is purely an emotional premium unwinding.

For the market, the space narrative is under short

Ok here's how I recommend you trade the drop:
1) At some point ppl will run out of money to long and get liquidated, and selling volume will taper out a bit
*we're currently at (1) and we're watching for (2)*
2) Then we chop (We observe for this). This can be any time frame - 30 min, 4h, or 1d. You won't know until you see it. the higher the time frame, the less noise. You just have to stay locked in.
3) Watch prices for market strcuture changes and claims of resistance levels and we join the long to reverse up
That's it. It's that simple.
Extremely easy in theory. Extremely hard in practice.

Ethereum is now near 1870. Those holding short positions should consider reducing them and watch for a lower-timeframe oversold bounce. The rebound levels to watch are 1930 and 1980; overall, the bias remains toward shorting at higher levels.
