Well, to be honest, trading in uncertain times is much more risky than calmed time. I personally stay away from the market when the sentiment is uncertain, even until the conditions are favorable for trading then I do trade because I myself have experienced this thing that whenever there is a bull run, I have noticed this thing from the trading point of view that In a bull run, the market does not follow the expected pattern it follows the UN expected pattern like it's following the trend as it is now.

So if the dynamic of the market is uncertain, then it is beneficial to stay away from trading because if you stay in the market, you will lose due to liquidation. Trend is your friend, if you follow the trend, then you are right, otherwise the market can cause you to lose if you go against the trend.

Many traders have the delusion they can control what the markets do or that they are way smarter than the majority, and they choose to go against the trend thinking they can make more money this way, and while this strategy may have its merits, especially in a market that spends most of its time ranging, this is a terrible strategy to try to implement on an asset that has strong trends, like it is the case of bitcoin, so by employing that strategy they could make some short term profits, but over the long term bitcoin will reclaim those profits and most of their capital as well.

To be ready is a must at all times because even if we think the market is in a stable condition, there are still instances that it changes suddenly and we can get shocked with it and not do the right actions which can be a reason for our losses. Technical analysis is a kind of analysis and not some kind of a strategy but it is still a recipe for us to lessen our risk and even if we lose less, I guess that still counts as protecting our capital.

Diversification is the ones that can be considered as a strategy. Bitcoin should be our base and then we need to choose a stable coin and altcoins properly because not all of them are worth it for our money.

I don't think there will be any special methods, tactics and strategies that a trader will be using to trade in this period because what you have doing in the trading field will be the same and nothing will change. Op you have to k ow that this year bitcoin has hit all time high. Though it has not reached the All (everyone) predicted price which is the $100k for this season. And all what the traders need to do is to know the chart movement so that in the trading time when the market is about to show red, you have to know fast to close the trade and know when the market is about to go up and start the trade. Understanding these two chart tools is the major thing to know in trading.

Understanding the market situation is perhaps necessary. Trading during uncertain times is just like gambling, hoping for some luck to make a profit. There is no easy way of doing it but as a trader, we know what we gonna do that particular time and the strategy I see is to slow down and be patient because the market is not moving fast, unlike during bull season. That is why a trader doesn't just know how to trade but also how to hold. Patience is very important in trading and that also leads us to success whatever the situation we have.

If someone trades in an uncertain situation then it is likely that they are just hoping for luck from the trade they make and it would be better when someone decides to trade to know well the time they will use to enter the market in order to make a profit on the trade they make and of course every trader has their own strategy for entering the market to make a profit, patience when trading of course we will be able to analyze the market well and will also be able to make the right decisions and also they will not trade greedily.

Right now it’s not uncertain times, we are still in a bull market. Blackrock etf is still adding bitcoins to their portfolios for clients who buy the etf.

Uncertain times are more like 2015 or 2019 where we weren’t sure if crypto was dead or not. Price went nowhere. People just withdrew their crypto because market was not going anywhere.

Those are not the same times as now.

I always use highly volatile coins and stable coins trading pairs. Sometimes it works well but sometimes, as normal I lose.

In uncertain times, price is usually boring and it does not change too much. It often fluctuates up and down with very small price change margin. It's not intersting time for trading because when you trade, you need volatility. However, if you are in uncertain time, you will now know that next big volatility will be up or down, and it's very risky to hold your position and hope that market will move up or down to give your position profit.

I will wait for the market to start its high volatility time, a big crash, then I wait for like 30 minutes or 1 hour, before I start trading. If you want a safer entry, you can wait like 4 hours after a crash to enter the market.

Quote

I would say that trading is just good and profitable during bull season but not during bear season.

Trading is for both market types, bear and bull. In bear and bull market, you always will see market crash, correction but if you can wait for it to happen, wait for a few hours for market to calm down, you can trade in both bear and bull market.

Trading means you don't let your position opens for a long time and you don't hold your position in days or weeks.

I don't think you need only volatility to trade but along with that the perfect market conditions that supports volatile crypto market are very important otherwise the volatility will only bring losses for you.

We can advise a term know as positive volatility to explain that volatility requires some positive things in it so that it could lead to profits then losses.

We all know how volatile the market is right now especially since we are still near the all-time high. With sudden price swings and unpredictable trends, traders need to be ready with some strategies.
So, what strategies can you advise especially in protecting our capital, some technical analysis strategies? OR some diversification tactics between stablecoins, bitcoin, or altcoins?

I'm generally a long term holder, not really worried by price fluctuations but if I have to dabble into short term trading with some spared funds, I will consider looking at the range that price has hit the most in recent times which in this case is between $60k to $70k. I will be willing to buy anywhere near $60k and sell around $70k. The plan will be to continue this until the range have been broken then other trading opportunities can be explored.

The market have shown serious reluctance to test the ATH, this is the reason price is always dropping back into the range whenever it crosses the $70k region. The market is probably building momentum and this will take a long time before we see any massive move above this range.

At uncertainty times, if we cant afford for the risk, its more better that we stay away from trading and hodl our asset in USDT till we are able to figure out a particular good and safe entry point to start our trades, its important that we know the specific trade we are going for in a particular time and also have the patient required to wait till we have the achievement being done concerning our trades.

One of the way is for us to keep saving when their are funds available for us to spend.
In one time or the other, problem could come that would make us seek for financial help and if we already have the fund available, we could go for it and use it to settle the problem on ground. Trading in am uncertainty time need lots of risk management and also need to have extra funds so in case the market volatility swallow our funds which should not be if we have risk management in place and if we have be following it. We just keep to keep trade simple and less risky.

I would say that trading is just good and profitable during bull season but not during bear season. Although I was not a full-trader but with my experience in all market seasons, I could really feel the big difference. And this is what I usually did, I held during the market crisis and just went back to trading when it started to recover. From that strategy, I secured my funds but I'm not sure if this will work on others because of different styles and market approaches.

But for me, we'd rather not trade if we feel uncertain instead, hold them. There are good and bad times for trading, we must know it through market analysis and experience.

It will probably depend on an individual's personal financial goals and targets. Some would have low targets to be met and some would have higher targets, and they would base their trades according to their targets.

If your target percentage for each day or week is low as a day trader, you wouldn't take a lot of risks, and you will make use of the dips to buy and sell when there are small pumps after the dips to cover what you are looking for.

If you are looking at the long-term outcome, you would be better of using the DCA method to collect the cryptocurrencies of your choice and keep holding them until you see them hitting your target price.

I don't trade when the market is uncertain but this time, we all know that it's bound to the bull run and that's why it's easier to trade.

My tip to the futures traders, just don't leverage a lot because even if we're going to North, the possibility of the market going the South is still high.

Some flash crash may occur even if the sentiment is bullish.

What I did is that I keep myself focused on small earnings rather than hunting big. I take the opportunity to sell when there is a price increase and not wait for its peak, at least if I could make 1% of every successful trade, I'm already happy and feel safe. It is really a matter of choice of coins and I use different styles of trading depending on the situation. Sometimes we also apply holding especially in times of correction. We need to listen to the market movements and not all the time is good for trading, there is time also to pause and wait for the price to recover as it is difficult to trade when the trend is declining.

You did the right thing. It’s hard to chase bigger profits when there is uncertainty in the market, so earning a small amount is something to be thankful already. Not all traders are given chances to take profits when the market is not at its best condition, but if you are still earning, it means you are exceptionally good and reliable trader. However, for most of the beginner traders, it’s best not to do trading during uncertain times. Its hard to combat the market and instead of anticipating profits, mostly beginners end up trading at a loss. This is why trading during uncertain times is never advisable.

What I'm doing is simple, because I have other holdings that I always do day trading and others that focus on long-term holdings. Because I also need to get profit even if not every
day but at least three times a week.

But of course we must have a deep understanding of trading, because otherwise we will not be able to get profit most of the time in the crypto space.

I wouldn't want to advice trading are this point due to the volatility which could actually amount to losses by the traders but investing especially for long term of for those who are willing to stack assets can utilize the lows the market will be making this period as good entries to stacking or investing so they will be able to as much as possible maximize profits from the moves that will be seen in thw market after now in the next bull run.

Technical analysis sometimes isn't all you may need to make the best decisions in the market because it may most definitely going to have it's own effect due to the basis and the fact that the market respects nobody buy moves as it wishes.

It's the best time to trade in my opinion. That when your skills are judged and your real trader come out. Everyone can trade for long-term easily in the nonvolatile market conditions like investing into coins like BTC you know that now or later you'll get the profit.

But trading daily on different coins and getting out of the market at the right time is the best way to showcase your real trading skills.

I simply exist the market if the setup does not suit me . The market can be very manipulative most atimes don't think it is a good idea to trade when you know the market is simply that bad it is better to stay out till things improve before jumping in . Many traders have lost their account as a result of trading uncertain Market conditions so why should one take that risk if he is unsure of the market

I don't force myself to trade if the market is uncertain. I would prefer just to watch the market and do nothing. I only trade if I see market conditions are good to avoid confusion in analysis.

When market conditions are uncertain, our analysis can be inaccurate. This can lead to a wrong decision to enter the market because our analysis is not precise. The choice of coin can also result in errors.

We should not do anything when the market is uncertain. This is to avoid losses that could occur because we could be inaccurate in our analysis. But if you are confident that you can overcome uncertain market conditions, you can try to analyze the coin, but be careful about sudden reversals.

Recently, the situation on the market is ambiguous and it is becoming increasingly difficult to get results from trading. But nevertheless, if you have experience, then there will be income. If everything was so bad, then few people would do this. I traded binary options, where the income is much higher, since there the percentage of income is on average 80 percent of the transaction. But in addition to the ability to analyze charts, you must follow news in the political and financial sectors. This always turned the graphs unpredictably.

If we do talk or speak about volatility then this has always been present on dealing up with the market, it is really just that there are moments or conditions on which the market is neither really that too volatile on which it doesnt really that goes along with market sentiments or new or even with technicals, or on the moment that it would really be having that sideways movement.

If you are someone whose really that having that kind of mind boggling in regarding about the movement and have no confidence on dealing up with the market then it would be better and wise
that you shouldnt really be that making yourself being forced on making up some position but rather you should that make yourself that having that break or pause at least.
Trade up on the moment that you do gain back that confidence or on the moment you've seen the market had settled down.
