Seeing those headlines about US spot Bitcoin ETFs dropping another $90M while BTC lingers way down from its previous ATH always brings flashbacks to past cycles. Honestly, watching price action stall around the mid-$80k range after hitting those euphoric highs last year just proves that retail and institutions alike still struggle with basic patience. Ngl, seeing these massive outflows used to make me panic-sell or over-leverage a long just to chase the rebound, but market chop has a funny way of teaching you expensive lessons.
When things look this sluggish and everyone starts crying about the macro environment, your risk management is literally the only thing keeping your account alive. If you are trying to scalp this range, keep your position sizes small and your stops tight because fakeouts are everywhere right now. Don't let FOMO trick you into averaging down into a falling knife just because the ETFs are bleeding. Zoom out, protect your capital, and wait for actual volume expansion instead of guessing bottoms. How are you guys adjusting your risk parameters while BTC tests everyone's patience?
