Sick of sideways movement? Here’s 4 things you can do right now…

Are you feeling restless and impatient with the bull market right now? 

You’re not alone!  

Sideways movement can be frustrating, and many investors are eager for this bull to start charging.

While it feels like there’s not a lot happening, this is a normal part of the cycle, and is consistent bull markets of the past. 

In other words, we’re right where we expect to be. 

So how do you navigate this time successfully, and is there any action you should be taking right now? Let’s explore four practical steps to prepare you for what’s to come: 

1. Anticipate pullbacks and retracements. Pullbacks in the market are the golden pockets of opportunity when crypto prices are cheap. Keep an eye out for them because the next few months will be the last opportunity for bargains that we’ll see for a while.

2. Keep dry powder ready. Having ‘dry powder’ in the form of stablecoins such as USDC or USDT is a game-changer. These stablecoins are pegged to the US dollar, so they don’t experience wild fluctuations like many other cryptos do. Having them on hand means you can act quickly when buying opportunities present themselves (without having the extra step of swapping your fiat money and waiting for slow bank transfers to clear).

3. Dollar Cost Average. If you have the capital, keep dollar cost averaging and building you positions – consistency is key! Better to spread your buying out now when prices are low and avoid the frenzy when prices soar. This is a disciplined and strategic approach that many investors swear by.

4. Know your history. Understanding past patterns and history will help us better predict the future – well, most of the time anyway! While the market can surprise even the best of us, the reality is that history often repeats itself. We can use this to make educated guesses and calculated moves. 

In the crypto world, there is always something we can do, or action we can take to position ourselves for opportunity and wealth. It’s all about education, being proactive, and preparing ourselves to take advantage of these opportunities.
