This week I chose to stay in cash and observe. To be honest, I still feel a bit regretful. Watching those small fluctuations slip away right in front of me, I always feel like I should do something. But on second thought, sometimes not trading itself is a profit strategy.

ETH's performance best illustrates the point — there was basically no movement throughout the entire cycle. Someone advised me that there would definitely be action today, but what happened? Still the same old story. My suggestion is, when faced with this kind of sideways market, instead of messing around in the spot market, it's better to do something else, take a break, and wait until the true direction is confirmed.

Many veterans have emphasized this point: during sideways trading, the biggest test is your willpower. If you get stuck here, you won't have the chance to seize real opportunities with your fingertips. So looking at ETH and waiting for a direction can sometimes be the smartest choice.
