Let's keep it short and simple! There ard 3 phases to a cyrpto cycle
1. The correction cycle: youcan put a billion dollars into BTC , the price might rise by 3-4% but will almost immediately revert back to the original price and further correct downwards.
2. The accumulation cycle: this is a phase where price will range by 1-2% either side but remains within the range within a certain period. This is the best place to buy.
3. The bull phase: This happens after the accumulation phase is over and that's where you will see a parabolic rise of BTC followed by alts.
We are currently in accumulation mode!
Just like your traditional market the platforms are all based an algorithms. Don't fight this but if you know which cycle you are in play accordingly. Don't listen to the so called "experts" because I can guarantee you that 99% of them have no clue.
