In crypto markets, impatience often costs more than market downturns. The real skill isn't constant action—it's knowing when to sit tight during sideways price movements. Mastering inaction through consolidation phases separates seasoned traders from emotional decision-makers. Discipline beats frequency.

To be honest, many people lose money because they can't stop themselves from trading. They get itchy just by looking at the market and feel the need to make a move to feel better, but end up losing even faster. Sometimes, doing nothing is the most profitable.

Honestly, my biggest pain point right now is this... Every time there's a consolidation, I get itchy hands and want to do something, but then I end up losing a lot in the opposite move.

To be honest, most people lose because of their impatience, really.

That's so awesome, I just can't help myself. I see sideways movement and want to trade.

You're so right, the itch to buy is more damaging to the wallet than a market downturn.

Aren't you just saying not to rush into action? Damn it, I can't do it every time.
