For now, instead of strong trend-driven volatility, we are more likely to see sideways movement without a clear direction. For me, this is a period of waiting. Rather than rushing, I plan to step back and calmly observe liquidity flows, supply and demand conditions, and overall market sentiment, and then reset my framework. This environment could actually be favorable for short-term traders. Even in a sideways market, if volatility remains relatively high, there can be frequent opportunities with attractive risk–reward setups. My overall view has not changed. The market is still in a bearish cycle, and I now believe the downturn may last longer than I expected last year. This is not the time to assign too much meaning to short-term price moves. If I conclude that the downtrend is continuing, I will enter positions in the same direction. If not, I will buy spot Bitcoin. If my view changes, I will clearly state it.(mignolet)
