End of year lull.
No worries!
No worries indeed but if you do make yourself to be that hopeful then you would really get stressed out.

As a trader then expect the unexpected and this had been always the typical thing that you would experience in the market and based up on experience
then i do agree that moving sideways is the most hardest situation on where you do decide whether you do buy or sell specially if you arent seeing
those sentiments around then you would really be finding it to be a big problem.
Being a trader, we need to adapt to the market changes, and the more we become sensitive. Traders will prefer to have an active market where prices move up and down (as naturally, we see in crypto). If the market dump, traders will tend to relax or instead buy more and hold. Because a life of a trader is not always buying and selling, they also have to learn to hold. It wasn't a daring strategy for the traders but can't just avoid it since the market is not always bullish and we can also make a trade every day. That something it change depending on the market situation.
