What is a consolidation period? Why must it be a consolidation?

In simple terms: Wealth does not disappear into thin air; it only transfers.

Consolidation is the process of wealth transfer.

With excessive buying and selling, and dual-direction harvesting, the market eventually returns to its starting point—only the chips have changed hands.

Those who have not mastered the skill will naturally see their wealth transfer out.

Remember this:

Every drop in a bull market is for a higher takeoff.

Don’t be disturbed by noise and emotions; the best move is often to "stay put".

A consolidation period is, in fact, a wealth cultivation ground.

I understand that many brothers feel the most anxious at this time: rises are incomprehensible, falls are also incomprehensible, hands itch yet they fear being trapped.

But the truth is—the opportunity to widen the gap lies in this period of boredom.

My thinking has always been simple:

1️⃣ BTC and ETH are always the base assets; do not waver.

2️⃣ Keep positions flexible; do not fully commit and hold on; leave some liquidity in hand.

3️⃣ Organize your asset list well, choosing targets that can be entered and exited at any time.

4️⃣ Avoid emotional trades; treat "waiting" as cultivation.

A consolidation period is not a torment; it is a gift.

Most people find it boring and exit, while a few quietly build their strength.

When the winds rise again, you will find—

Others have already exited, while you are still steadily sitting at the card table. $BTC $ETH
