Market moves get real when you stop fighting the tape.

Ditch the 'only up' mentality—that's where most traders bleed money. Long term, yeah, crypto's trajectory points higher. But here's what separates winners: they trade the wave, not just the trend. Short and mid-term bear cycles? That's where the profit pockets hide for anyone patient enough to see them.

The game changes when you can read both directions. Bull markets make headlines, bear markets make wealth.
