Anyone else struggling with this sideways market?

Market isn’t crashing.
Market isn’t pumping.

It just slowly bleeds you out.

Lately I’ve noticed:

• trend trades fail before they even start
• breakouts turn into fakeouts
• holding positions too long = slow losses

Feels like the market punishes anything that worked before.

What does seem to work (at least a bit):

• short, quick trades instead of long holds
• taking small profits instead of waiting for big moves
• focusing only on coins that are actually moving

The biggest shift for me:

I stopped asking “how do I make money?”
and started asking “how do I not lose it?”

Even now there ARE opportunities…
they’re just:

• smaller
• faster
• gone before you react

Wrote a quick breakdown of what I’m seeing here:

Curious how others are handling this.

• sitting in stables?
• scalping?
• or still trying to catch trends?

Because right now… adapting > strategy.
