The recent crypto market has been stuck in a deadlock. Bitcoin is just lying there, unable to go up or down, and I’ve been staring at the K-line for a long time without any clear trading idea. Altcoins are starting to show obvious differentiation—those without narrative support or trading volume are gradually being sidelined, and those that should have exited already have. On the other hand, coins with stories and hype are still holding on, but finding a comfortable entry point isn’t easy either. In this kind of market condition, it’s hard to get clear signals. The entire market seems to be waiting for something, but no one knows what that is.

Been consolidating for so long, it feels like the entire market is waiting for a signal, but I don't know what it is... anxious

Consolidation is just squeezing out the water; coins without a story should have died long ago.

This kind of stagnant market really makes people impatient; watching the market is just a pure waste of life.

This market feels a bit stifling; sideways trading is the most torturous. When will it break out? Holding like this is uncomfortable for everyone. Altcoins are so polarized now, those without momentum are just cooling off. Wait, wait, just waiting—who the hell knows what we're waiting for? It feels like the market is brewing a big move, but it just won't reveal its hand. Without a narrative, no one wants it; the market now relies on stories to survive. Watching the charts all day, and it's still the same—I'm exhausted.

It's been sideways for so long, it feels like the entire market is performing a silent play, no one dares to make the first move. What are we waiting for? It feels like the crypto market has collectively entered a "Schrödinger's price movement." I've already exited coins with no momentum, what's the point of holding them? Finding an entry point is indeed difficult, and that's why I'm currently on the sidelines. Staring at the candlestick charts until my eyes go blind, but I still can't figure out what's really going on. Coins with a story are still holding up, but how long can the support last... really hard to say. In this state, both going long and going short feel uncomfortable; it's better to just lie flat. People waiting for signals might end up waiting as unemployed youths.

Sideways trading is frustrating. Bitcoin's behavior is really annoying.

The choppy market is the most torturous, holding coins feels like they're dead, and project teams are still making up stories.
