Do you guys still trade in this kind of market?

Even though the market cap of a coin is low, the trading volume of that coin is very high, which definitely indicates that the price of a coin is going up.

You should understand that a trader cannot predict what Trump's next statement will be, which may lead to both a pump of the cryptocurrency and stock market, as well as their dump. We have to admit that this person can send Bitcoin to the moon, but he can also halve its price.

[Rgram]

It’s been crazy for awhile now in the market due to the Trump Tariff lately, ALT coins on a slippery slope as well except for XRP that has been between $3-$1.600..
Avoiding the market is safest for now rather than trying to catch trends that aren’t happening yet whilst this Trump Tariff’s trade war..

Keeping those altcoins aside, you should question your basics. Altcoins will never be as good as bitcoin and that you should not take advice in crypto from others including people of this forum. Form your own method of trading and concentrate on bitcoin, even if you dont like it, because it is the only coin that will give you profits.

Coming back to the title, there are methods to trade in any market.

When the market is going down, you buy.
When the market is going up, you sell.
When the market is going sideways, you wait.

Now there is no absolute buy/sell point, but a trickle down method when you keep buying as the prices keep dropping till you stop, but this is the basic. Again keeping one self limited to bitcoin.

The main reason why traders are able to make profits is because of their previous holdings. They have a history of buying at different price combinations and spread their strategy in such a way that they are able to make profits in any situation. I am giving advice to those new traders to keep buying and so that investment success is achieved from the beginning.

You should continue buying without expecting more and more profits at the beginning and as the holdings increase, your chances of getting profits will come closer and many can give profits in any market (bear/bull) situation.

These are the best times to make trades actually. When the assets get oversold, just buy because there is alwaya another dead cat bounce around the corner which will bring the profits with it. When the markets get too optimistic, sell some assets because it is too good to be true.

When the markets move flat, I can’t guess the next market move right usually. When these sharp market moves happen, it is much easier to make the right guess. (At least for me)

Needless to say, I made some nice profits last week. I am quite glad with the recent market movements.

Hey guys, how was the weekend? Anyway, the market seems to be in a zigzag phase lately — there’s no sustained price trend anymore, and I’m wondering why. Still, I see some traders are managing to win. What’s the secret? And which pairs are your go-to that seem less volatile?

I’m asking because a friend pitched a trading opportunity to me earlier. At first, I wasn’t interested, but I figured — what’s there to lose? So about those pairs: GUN, KILO — are they less volatile? Have you traded them before?

The market behavior this period is as a result of on going TRADE WAR  between the US and other countries, the tarrif Donald Trump is imposing on country so a lot funds are changing hands and moving, people wanting to buy US bonds and those that are selling that go on , there are uncertainty as regards to Donald Trump is up to with it tarrifs, however you profit base on if you follow the news and not about what the structures and the candle sticks are doing because recently, they no longer get respected.

I think you are still yet to understand what trading is all about. The thing is, the most important thing here is you should be in the profit part of the market. There is no secret; it is the knowledge and strategy that the traders use to trade that is what is favouring them till now and nothing more. If you see that the market is not favouring you at the moment, don’t enter the market at that time.

To avoid losing your money, remember that when you are winning, that is when another person is losing, and when you lose, that is when another person wins. That is how trading works; it must not work for you all the time. Losing in trading is a normal thing that happens, so sometimes you will lose your money in trading.

This is not a completely correct statement, and it concerns only futures and derivatives trading. When trading on the spot market, everyone can make a profit when the price of a coin increases and, accordingly, the profit you receive will not lead to a loss from another trader.

I lost in this condition so I decided not to enter the market for trading in a short time, but I made some adjustments to buy especially at Bitcoin. I also want to listen to the secret of success so that it can be combined with the strategies that we live and until now I have not gotten the answer.

In conditions like some time ago maybe many people choose to buy bitcoin compared to several other coins. It aims to invest and they can hold bitcoin as an alternative step in achieving profits after the recovery process occurs.

It is specially better to trade in this market. Look at how much we moved, we have moved from over 100k, to near  70k and above 80k now, those are all big moves and trading during these periods are great. Plus, not everyone trades only bitcoin, we trade alts too and that means even bigger and wilder movements in the last 5 months.

So all in all, if you traded just in 2025 alone, you should be able to make some good chunk of money without much trouble with it for the long term. I know the movements didn't make holders happy, I am mostly a holder, trade with only a small portion of my money and I know as ah older I am not happy with the movement, but as a trader I am happy with the returns I am making at the moment.

[The Cryptovator]

A few days back I took a risk to trade and made some profits as well. You can say I took advantage of the volatility. If you are a risk taker, you can make money even during a bear and red market. But you should have patience, because in case the market dumps more, then you have to wait for a few more days or months to recover the price. I traded just during the dip, when I had a small profit, and then I was out from the trade. Again I am waiting to enter the market again and have placed some bids as well.

However, trading is always risky, especially when volatility is too high. If you don't have enough funds and reserve funds, then don't take too much risk. You may lose your capital either. Before jumping into trading, just learn as much as possible about how to manage the risk.

You're not going to win here if you don't have enough trading knowledge and skills. Don't blame the market for your losses, but rather embrace and think that due to its volatile nature, traders earn more. Therefore, don't look for a less volatile coin but rather choose a highly volatile one because that is the perfect pair. But it was not just the way to be profitable here. You also need to work hard, learn more, and make some market discoveries. But if you keep yourself rushing, you never achieve anything apart from losses and disappointments.

[el kaka22]

When the market moves, that is the perfect time for a trader to make money. If it is all stable, then it is perfect time for an investor. So a trader would prefer it to go up and down all the time to make money, even an inch of movement is good for futures traders for example, you could have just 500 dollars down or up on bitcoin and they could make tens of thousands of dollars.

Plus, the futures market in crypto has grown to a big size, which means that it is not just people who trade with a few thousand dollars, there are people who trade with tens of thousands, I have seen even millions risked at it. So that is a proof enough that we are not going to end up with futures being done soon, and they are happy with those zigzags

You can't make the market less volatile. Let us say it is always going high. The volatility of the market makes traders earn more. That's the fact that you need to know, OP. Real traders, despite the unstable situation of the market, never stop doing their job. To become a trader is not easy, and so it is no wonder that many fail. But we can't blame the market for our losses and failure, it was our fault. Maybe we are just too impatient and lack of knowledge.

The secret is always a secret; that depends on how a trader works on themselves. Even if we follow the footsteps of successful traders, this never means we will become successful as well. Why? We have differences, especially in decision-making.

Not only just that on decision making but also on risks management,emotional control,discipline and patience on which each person will be that different into this aspect because we are not that the same on these factors on which means that decisions made will be affected and its true that copying others wont be giving out that an assurance that you would be also successful as well because there are those factors that will be changing up the outcome on which you have been anticipated for it to happen. Once it do fails, then this is the time that you do made out those kind of disappointment and when it does then further decisions do happen on which it do simply depends on what are the actions that you are bound to do so and lets just that accept the fact that volatility what makes this market to be profitable. If it wasnt that being volatile in the first place then we wont be seeing any investor/traders lurking here but rather going into those other markets on which they can be able to make money. Therefore, instead on hating volatility its better to make advantage of it.

There are just that those people who cant be able to bare up or handle out the volatility on which at the moment that they do suffer up such loss, they do just simply turned their backs and never look back again because they are that losing up that so much. For the moment that the market do made out some sideways movement or lets say that it is consolidating then this will be that a test of patience, because on the time that you've seen yourself that hurrying up to make money but the market isnt moving on how it should supposed to be then it will pissed you out and this what makes up those rush decisions or actions on which it will be leading into those loses and once it do happens then you do say up some shit things towards the market that it isnt that profitable anymore. Whereas, you are the ones or reason on why you do find yourself making up such rushed decisions because you cant just that wait about on when to take up such actions specially at the moment that it do start to make out some movement or something considerable or significant ones.

I would not trade any altcoin which is not in the top 10 on coinmarketcap. And even then I would be careful.

If you are worried about the volatility, then you should wait it out until things calm down and you can trade without having to worry about giant losses.

Also, it looks like to me that you are posting in the wrong place, if you want to know more about certain altcoins there is an Altcoin discussion board.

[traderethereum]

It is difficult to analyze the market as the price is fluctuating many times and make us really careful if we want to trade. I am not too often to trade this month because I am not too good in analyze the market. I only enter to the market when I am feel that is safe for me to buy low and sell high. But I am trying to use not too big money to trade to prevent the loss.

I can suggest you to analyze deeper before you trade because some time, you will get more info about what is happen with the market. That help you to hold for a while until you can analyze and determine when you can enter to the market. I don't know about the coins/tokens you mention about because I am not yet trade them before.

[Wiwo]

The secret to winning a trade especially crypto per asset is luck, once you have luck on your side you may predict a profitable market even on red days, most time some traders don't understand the importance of the luck factor which makes them depend wholly on their analysis of the market.

If it is another asset class that is more stable than bitcoin, one can easily make attempts to predict them rightly, unlikely that we do the same with bitcoin so we need to be careful no matter what the level of our expertise is.

I don’t think the current market condition matters a lot, yes it’s always unpredictable, I guess that’s a how a volatile market is. But seeing that there are still profitable traders out there despite of how unpredictable the market is, that goes to prove that being a profitable trader is not influenced by how the current market is, but it’s on how the trader itself is good in managing trades and doing reliable market analysis. If you are at loss, the market has nothing to do with it, but everything reflects on how the trader manages his trade.

If not avoided, it doesn't matter because traders also need to monitor market conditions like now even though the moment to get a better opportunity seems to be absent because there is still a global trade tariff war between two major countries. And for the price of Ripple itself, it is currently around $2 which means it is still good enough for traders to buy it before the altcoin flies again to a price of more than $3. So you don't have to immediately avoid the market just because of this because traders do have to have time to watch the market even if it is not to buy or sell something.
