#美联储重启降息步伐 and other policy signals, bears shouldn't rush either



The recent rhythm of the crypto market is actually quite interesting—all eyes are on macro policies, and BTC along with major coins are repeatedly testing expectations, moving sideways in a range for several days. This lukewarm situation has made a lot of people restless.

After so many years in this market, my real takeaway is: from a purely technical perspective, I actually hope for a straightforward drop.

Sounds a bit counterintuitive, right? But only those who've been tormented by this kind of grinding market can understand.

The reason is simple—when it drops near a key technical support level, even if you decide to buy the dip and the subsequent trend doesn't work out and you lose money, you can still feel at ease. Because you're acting at a position with clear justification—it's a rational decision.

The most painful is exactly this kind of lifeless sideways range, or getting stuck at a relatively high level after a bounce.

To bottom fish or build a position in this price zone? Every minute feels like you're on a grill. If the policy falls through or a sudden bearish news hits, a waterfall-like plunge is almost inevitable. At that point, not only does your account shrink, but your mindset collapses too—you won't even have the courage to average down.

This sideways standoff may last a few more days. Rather than making impulsive moves out of anxiety, it's better to calm down and wait for a truly clear directional signal. What needs to come will eventually come.

You hit the nail on the head. Consolidation is more heartbreaking than a drop; every second feels like gambling with life.

Sideways trading is truly intense, even more uncomfortable than a drop.

The current market conditions are really frustrating; it's more uncomfortable than a direct dump, and rational decision-making is impossible. The biggest pitfall of sideways trading is that it creates illusions, always thinking that the break is imminent. But after weeks, the account balance remains the same. I agree with the author's view: better to endure a clear dip than to repeatedly test and mistake in ambiguous high levels. The signals from the Federal Reserve have long been overhyped; the true direction can only be confirmed when the fundamentals are solidly established. Waiting for the break signal to appear. Acting now is purely a matter of stubbornness.

Sideways consolidation is the most frustrating; a sharp drop would be better, at least the technical levels would be clear.

Sideways trading is really brutal; it would be better to just drop directly—at least then you'd know where you stand.

Sideways consolidation is the hardest to endure, even more torturous than a direct plunge, seriously.

Sideways trading is really torturous, even worse than a sharp drop. I totally get this feeling.
