The market in the past couple of days has really dampened the enthusiasm for trading. The market is like a toy with a dead battery, bouncing a couple of times but then falling silent; the prolonged sideways fluctuations are simply making one drowsy, so there’s no point in trying to guess the trend.

The fluctuations of #BTC were lively, but the imitation and following trends seemed feeble. The news front is as calm as lukewarm water, hardly stirring any waves in the market. Trying to force a trade in this situation is like running in a swamp; not only is it exhausting, but it's also easy to get stuck.

It’s better to take a more laid-back approach, keep the wallet tight, and not pay too much attention to the screen. Instead of being repeatedly 'rubbed' by the market in narrow fluctuations, it might be better to turn off the candlestick chart and brew a cup of tea to properly rest. The market never lacks opportunities; what it lacks is patience and enough 'bullets'. Watching more and acting less, occasionally lying flat is not a bad thing; it’s not too late to act when the real market trend arrives.
