This is why I don't trade. Just hold spot and chill. Trading in a choppy market is how you go from 1 BTC to 0.3 BTC real fast.

This sideways action is killing my futures positions. Getting stopped out on both longs and shorts. Might just sit on the sidelines for a bit.

Range trading is actually profitable in chop. Buy support, sell resistance, repeat. You just need patience and discipline.

Down about 15% this month from overtrading the range. Taking a break and only entering on clear breakouts now. Sometimes the best trade is no trade.

This is when you accumulate spot and stop trying to trade every candle. Chop markets eat leveraged traders alive. I have been stacking sats and touching grass.

My grid bot is actually loving this range. Set it up between support and resistance and let it scalp the chop. Sometimes boring markets are the most profitable if you have the right tools.
