and how to deal with it methodically

In the cryptocurrency market, there may be times when decision-making is more sensitive than at any other time.
This moment is what separates the experienced trader from the beginner, as it can turn profit into loss in a very short time.
⚠️ When does this moment occur?
It usually appears after a strong and sharp movement in the market—either up or down—then the momentum suddenly stops.
You notice then:
Price action slowing down
Disturbance in candle direction
Unclear sideways fluctuation
This phase is known as the 'non-trending phase'.
Beginners often behave randomly during it, while professional traders handle it in a calculated and precise manner.
🎓 How do professionals act?
1. Avoid entering immediately after violent movement
After a significant rise or fall, a 'deceptive' movement usually occurs.
Rushing at this moment leads to entering uncalculated trades.
The correct approach is to wait for a correction or a clear trend before taking any step.
2. Understanding the mechanism of trading in a sideways market (Range Trading)
When the price becomes confined between stable support and resistance levels, it means the market is in a consolidation or sideways fluctuation phase.

Many beginners avoid this situation, but it is actually a suitable environment for achieving short-term profits if discipline is applied:

Buying near support areas

Selling at resistance levels

Repeating the process as long as the range is stable

3. Determining the exit point before entering

One of the fundamentals of professional trading is to have a complete plan before executing the trade:

Where will the stop-loss be?

What is the target?

What is the acceptable risk ratio?

The absence of an exit plan makes the trader prone to hesitation and emotional reactions at the first opposite movement.

4. Controlling emotions and acting rationally

The non-trending phase may be accompanied by feelings of tension or excessive excitement, leading to wrong decisions.

The correct approach is:

Stop

Monitor the market

Analyze the situation calmly

Make a decision based on clear rules

5. Refrain from trading in the absence of clear understanding

A very important rule:

If you cannot explain what is happening in the market, it is preferable not to enter a trade.

The market will not disappear, but your capital can become difficult to recover if it suffers uncalculated losses.

✅ Educational summary

The most dangerous phase is not the moment of price explosion… nor the moment of reversal…

But the period in which the market loses its direction between the strong movement and the subsequent correction.

Managing yourself and your reactions during this phase is what elevates you from a beginner level to a trader capable of making a conscious and responsible decision—even before achieving your first thousand dollars in profits.
