If you really want to make profit you could make profit during stable times as well, especially during stable times it is easier because you do not have wild movements that could make you lose money.
For example, you could simply play the spread and make money from 10.400 to 10.600, you do not need it higher or lower, you could put margin trading as well and jack it up to 100x as well and you could play with it, it is going to be a bit tough but you could spend very little money and make a lot of money from the quickest and shortest moves in the market that way.
I am not saying do that, but all I am saying is that it is totally possible to do it. So, we do not need the market to go up and down like an elevator, it could stay stable and still could bring in profit.
There are also bots that could make a thousand trades a day if you give it that order and can make you tiny bit of profit as much as you want.
For example, you put an order at $10.5k to buy and sell at $10.6k and just let it be, for the whole day whenever it goes down and up it buys and sells, you could make it even smaller if you want, you can calculate the trading fee and omit that from the profit and see at how much you can buy and at how much you can sell.
If you want even more advanced there are bots for futures as well so you could do high leverage and even make more profit from the tiniest bit of movements.
There are tons of bots like that, I am not going to give any names not to advertise them (not for free at least lol) but leverage trading bots are great for these boring days.
