How can you determine the next move when BTC is trading sideways?

In the cryptocurrency market, sideways trading is often more frustrating for traders than a one-way rally or decline. Prices repeatedly fluctuate within a range, making it seem like there are plenty of opportunities, but few can actually seize them. Some keep going long, while others repeatedly go short, only to find that fees and frequent stop-losses steadily eat into their accounts.

So, how should you determine BTC’s next move during a sideways market?

First, watch changes in trading volume. If volume gradually declines as

Round and round it grinds, with ever greater weight; its usefulness wins the world’s favor.
The two forms unite, dividing motion from stillness; where one mind abides, the mean is attained.
It takes in every tiny scrap, leaving nothing wasted; it shuns no coarse grain, its virtue all-embracing.
Do not say its stubborn old body is hard to turn; once turning, it can still serve up a thousand measures.
—Shen Zhou, “Ode to the Grindstone”
The market right now is also a matter of grinding away.
You would do well to cultivate yourselves and your virtue. Longing for the economic boom years and grumbl

Many people treat the “MA golden cross” as a universal buy signal, jumping in when MA5 crosses above MA20, only to end up buying at the top of a short-term spike. The problem isn’t the moving averages themselves, but looking only at the crossover and not the structure: a moving average crossover only shows that short-term cost basis is rising; it doesn’t indicate whether the trend is healthy.
Take $SOXSB$SOXSB as an example to break down a reusable framework. The current price is 52.98, up 14.30% over 24h. MA5=52.91 is now above MA20=51.896, with the short-term moving average turning up. This

How to Build Your Own BTC Trading System: From Random Trading to Consistent Execution

In the BTC market, many people learn new technical indicators every day: studying MACD today, RSI tomorrow, and searching for new trading strategies the day after. But despite learning a lot, they still lack clear rules when it comes time to place a trade, ultimately falling into a cycle of repeated losses and constantly changing their approach.

To change this, the first step is to build a trading system of your own.

First, determine your trading style. Based on your schedule and risk tolerance, choose sho

Opportunities in a Bear Market: How Should You Position for the Next Bull Market?
THE NEXT BULL MARKET STARTS WITH TODAY’S DECISIONS
When the market keeps falling, investors often make one of two mistakes: selling everything out of fear, or buying all at once because they think prices are cheap enough.
But truly mature investors should view a bear market as a time to rebalance their assets and accumulate quality positions.
First, it is important to keep cash on hand. It is often impossible to accurately predict the market bottom in advance. If you invest all your funds at once, you may lose th

What do historical data tell us about BTC price patterns after halving?

In the Bitcoin market, halving has always been an important event watched by investors. With each halving, the block rewards miners receive are reduced, and the rate at which new BTC enters the market also declines. Historically, BTC has experienced clear upward cycles after several halvings, so many investors see halving as an important basis for a long-term bullish outlook.

But can historical patterns really be repeated?

First, halving changes new supply. BTC halving reduces the rate of new coin issuance, but does not

You damn market maker, if you've got the guts, drop it to 1500. I’ll unlock my short position and keep this up with you two until the end of time 🤣

Guys, don’t chicken out—just do it!

Getting today’s news from TRMNL

$ETHFI After key daily support was breached, bearish momentum was quickly unleashed. This trend-following short was a textbook-clean trade, ultimately locking in a 77% gain and banking the profits.
Next, I’ll focus on price action in $ZEC and TAC.
$ETHFI is currently trending bearish. The short thesis remains valid after breaking below the daily base, but the timing needs attention. Reference execution range: entry at 0.5725–0.5836, targets at 0.5538 and 0.5344, with protection at 0.6011. The trend continues to weaken, and following through while selling pressure has not yet eased may be wo

Still debating whether methane reduction in Africa is worth investing in? The direction is already clear. Emissions cuts aren’t just a money pit—they turn climate commitments into real money in gas, power, and agriculture. Whoever gets capture and utilization working first will be first to benefit. Looking at past cycles, every energy transition starts with a frustrating stretch of sideways movement before paying off. It takes patience. Let’s see how things look this weekend and compare notes then.

BTC Position Management: How to Allocate Funds Scientifically and Reduce Trading Risk?

In BTC trading, many people spend every day studying market direction and looking for the best points to buy and sell, yet overlook a question that may be more important than predicting direction: position management.

Why do some people correctly predict the market multiple times, yet ultimately fail to achieve their desired returns? One reason is improper position sizing. A single oversized trade can wipe out the gains from several previous winning trades.

First, determine the risk per trade based on you

A Potential Recovery in $ETH Could Be Ahead!
Price is trading near $1905 after a strong decline inside a falling channel.
The key support zone sits around $1,750 to $1,820. If buyers defend this area, a recovery towards $2,400 could follow.
However, confirmation is needed before expecting a reversal.
Watch the support closely!

#BTC The current price is 67265. After a sustained decline, the market remains in a weak trend, and the short-term rebound has been very limited. The first resistance level is around 69000, with stronger resistance near 71000. Only a high-volume move above and hold within this range could potentially reverse the current downturn. Initial short-term support is at 66400, near the intraday low. If this level is decisively broken, there could be further downside, putting the support area around 64000 to the test. In terms of market sentiment, fear has not fully dissipated after several waves of de

BTC has been moving sideways for three days, with its price fluctuating within a range. Many traders are starting to feel anxious: Should they go long or short?

In fact, the easiest mistake to make in a sideways market is to predict the direction of a breakout in advance.

There are three key signals to watch when assessing a breakout.

First, trading volume. If volume continues to rise as the price approaches the top of the range, it indicates growing market participation. But rising volume alone does not mean the price will necessarily go up; you also need to see whether it can hold above t

BTC Outlook for the Next Year: Analysis of Three Possible Market Scenarios!

In the cryptocurrency market, many investors want to know in advance how high BTC will rise over the next year. But price prediction is never simple. Rather than trying to give a definitive target, it is better to analyze several possible scenarios based on different market conditions.

First, the bullish scenario: sustained capital inflows. If global liquidity conditions improve, institutional capital continues to flow in, and market demand keeps growing, BTC may regain upward momentum. In this case, the market could

If you keep your coins on an exchange or with a custodian, this concerns you: the lock institutions use to safeguard your coins now has a quantum-resistant version.
🔥 On November 12, @projecteleven launched Strongpoint MPC, a signing solution for institutions such as custodians and exchanges.
MPC stands for multiparty computation, and it’s different from multisig. With multisig, several keys each sign once; with MPC, a private key is split into fragments and distributed among several parties from the moment it’s generated, so no one can access the complete key.
