Looking at where BTC is now, honestly, it's in an awkward position. It can't go up, but it also can't go down. This lukewarm state really dampens people's enthusiasm.

The market is actually waiting for a critical point. Either it breaks through the ceiling directly, triggering a nationwide FOMO frenzy; or it undergoes a thorough correction, clearing out those leveraged positions. This repetitive sideways consolidation, to put it plainly, is just draining traders' mentality and patience.

I believe the truly attractive opportunities will come after a thorough shakeout. Only by completely flushing out the floating capital and removing retail investors with weak resistance can bottom-fishing truly make sense. Entering at this point? Most likely just stepping stones for big players, with an unbalanced risk-reward ratio that’s not worth it.

Consolidation is so frustrating, it feels like this wave will either skyrocket or break through directly. The tension in the middle is really suffocating. Waiting for the shakeout, when retail investors are cleared out, is the real opportunity. Trying to bottom now? Sorry, I choose to watch the show. This rhythm is testing our psychological defenses. Those who can't hold on have already given up. Instead of taking the plunge now, it's better to wait for the big players to shake out all their chips. That's when it's worth jumping in.

Sideways trading is so frustrating. From a technical perspective, this is a classic accumulation phase. My backtesting data shows that after this pattern, there is usually about 34% volatility over the past three months. But honestly, entering now is really a gamble with your life. Pull back and wait for the shakeout, clear out the floating positions before placing a serious bet. Anyway, we've long seen through the fate of us retail investors. I really admire your courage to buy the dip at this point. On-chain data shows that whales are watching, and we're still going all-in [dog head]. The eye of the storm hasn't arrived yet. Entering now is just asking for trouble. I'd rather miss this wave than get cut. When will the leverage liquidate their positions? That's the real buy signal. Right now, it's just a game of mental endurance. To put it simply, the market is testing our patience. Whoever breaks first loses. Being neither hot nor cold is the most uncomfortable. It's more tormenting than a direct 50% drop. At least if it drops, we can psychologically prepare. Wait a bit longer. If floating positions can't be washed out, there won't be a real opportunity. Anyway, I've already laid back.

I've been bored with this sideways movement for so long, just waiting for that moment to break the deadlock. Honestly, entering now is a bit foolish; wait until the shakeout is complete. This wave is really frustrating, I have no desire to participate at all. Rather than jumping in now, it's better to stay calm and observe; the floating chips haven't been fully cleared out yet. Opportunities will definitely come, just not at this price level right now.
