The recent market environment has indeed been a bit weak, with prices fluctuating wildly, and many people are starting to feel uneasy. I’ve compiled a few strategies that are especially effective during these periods of repeated oscillation to share with everyone.



The first point to pay attention to is those sideways consolidation and repeated probing levels. These range-bound movements may seem insignificant, but they are often worth spending more time observing. In contrast, a rapid straight-up rally may look lively on the surface, but in reality, it’s usually already in the late stage, and rushing in could make you the last bagholder.

Second, when prices are rising gently and the pace is steady, it usually indicates that strong funds are gradually accumulating. However, if there’s a sudden continuous surge, market sentiment is being fully ignited, and you should be cautious—consider reducing your position or exiting first.

After a quick rise, there’s often a pullback to test the support. If this pullback isn’t strong enough, the structure may be flawed, and it’s better not to bet too heavily. Patience and waiting for the right opportunity are always more reliable than rushing to buy the dip.

Looking at the details of a decline: if the price drops quickly but volume doesn’t keep up, it’s likely just short-term emotional venting, so don’t worry too much. Conversely, if the price slowly declines while volume continues to rise, you should be alert—funds may be quietly withdrawing.

There’s also a nuance when creating new lows. If there’s no significant increase in volume, it indicates that selling pressure is weakening. Only when a rebound occurs with volume does it become a relatively safe entry point.

Finally, if the price surges upward but volume doesn’t follow, the sustainability of this rally is limited. High levels are prone to repeated fluctuations, and it’s not suitable to hold on tightly at this point.

Honestly, often doing fewer impulsive trades can actually improve your returns more than desperately chasing a trend. Avoiding the most frantic volatility allows you to better grasp the rhythm. Reckless impulsiveness will lead to losses sooner or later; following a disciplined approach will help you go further.

It's really true, sideways trading is actually a test of patience. I once suffered a loss by rushing in during a sharp rise, and ended up being the last bagholder, haha. Now looking at the volume, a rise without volume is really fake. Honestly, I agree that doing less can actually make more money. I'm just worried that when I have free time, I start thinking about chasing some market trend. The slow decline with increasing volume definitely requires caution; the signal of capital fleeing is too obvious. Only when a new low occurs with no volume do I dare to watch, many people overlook this detail.

You're right, consolidation is where the real money is, while a straight surge is just a feast for those catching the bag. In my opinion, the most feared are sudden sharp rises. When you see volume and price diverge, it's a sign to reduce your position immediately—don't be greedy. A slow decline accompanied by high volume is the real signal to withdraw; be cautious. Only rebound with volume, then you can dare to act; otherwise, it's all just bluffing. Chasing gains and selling on dips feels good temporarily, but your account will end up in flames. A rise without volume is destined to be a roller coaster; avoid it firmly. One less impulsive move is better than chasing daily limit-ups every day. The longer you observe in a sideways range, the fatter the profits later. This logic has been clear for a long time, but poor execution and mindset collapse are common issues. Volume-price divergence is the biggest trap; don't be blinded by the rise.

Here we go again, talking as if it's real, but it still ends up crashing down.

That's right, this sideways movement really tests human nature. That last sentence hit home; I'm the impulsive type and have already flipped a few cars. I've never really understood the trading volume aspect; I need to study it carefully.

Consolidation is true gold and silver; a straight surge is just a trap for buyers. That's right, if the volume doesn't follow the price, don't hold on stubbornly. This market is really messing with people. Less trading can actually help you survive longer. I used to chase the rise before, and now I regret it so much that my intestines are turning green. Slow decline with increasing volume signals a need to run quickly; this signal is too dangerous. A rebound without volume is a fake rebound; anyone who believes it will die. I've been caught twice in this round of oscillation. Now I'm just waiting for a new low with volume; I’d rather miss out than chase high. Discipline is more important than courage to make money, and that's very true.

Damn it, it's another lesson on how to read the charts. I've been doing it this way all along and still end up losing.
