Stop trying to time the markets. We don't know if it's going to go up or down. If someone says they know, they're lying...
It is possible that people lied with their prediction about the market, but at some point, there's a chance to know the market direction through positive news, and institutional investor accumulation through first hand information before it happens.
We also have the situation where some analyses provide genuine prediction.
Then, in your opinion, the cryptocurrency market is comparable to a casino, where analysis is replaced by blind guessing. Of course, no one can say for sure where the market will go, but nevertheless, analyzing the market, we can assume in which direction the movement is most likely to be. And the higher the probability, the higher the chance of making a profit.
We shouldn't compare the crypto market with a casino or gambling activities due as the market changes course at some point due to the price manipulation that makes analysis ineffectual. However, analysis provides great help, and since the crypto market is a speculative ecosystem, there's no way people will analyze the market price to predict what could happen next.
