The grinding sideways action on Ethereum and major alts since late December has been brutal for retail traders. This kind of stagnation eats away at leverage positions, triggers stop-losses, and demoralizes the average trader watching the charts. When ETH and altcoins refuse to move decisively in either direction, that's when amateurs bleed the most. The market's stuck in limbo, and so is everyone's profit potential.

It's really incredible how long this sideways movement has lasted; my stop-loss orders have been repeatedly hit.

Horizontal trading is most affected by leverage positions, with stop-losses hitting one after another. My mentality has long since collapsed.

Sideways trading is really intense; leveraged positions are being eaten away day by day, and there's no time to wait.

Sideways trading is really intense; leveraged positions are being directly eroded. Who can withstand this?

Consolidation is the most torturous, leverage directly clears the account...
