The crypto market is stuck in consolidation mode without any clear catalysts pushing it in either direction. What's particularly telling is the spot trading volume—it's been sliding downward for three months straight, a clear signal that long-term buyers aren't really showing up. This kind of thing often precedes either a sharp move or continued sideways action.

Looking at the numbers: Bitcoin is hovering around $91,888 (up just 0.2%), while Ethereum sits at $3,125 (down 0.8%). The Fear and Greed Index has dropped to 26, flashing fear sentiment across the market. Total market cap stands at $3.21T, and we've seen $217M in liquidations, suggesting traders are getting caught on both sides. Until something breaks this pattern, expect more of the same uncertain trading environment.

BTC-1,71%

ETH-1,57%

Trading volume has been declining for three months, and long-term buyers have all disappeared. This is the calm before the storm... Either it explodes directly or continues to consolidate sideways—these are the only two options.

Trading volume has declined over the past three months. This wave is really just waiting for that breakout line... Either a sharp surge or continue to lie low, there's no in-between option.

Trading volume has declined over the past three months, indicating that big players are just watching the show. This is actually a good opportunity to lay low. I made my three kids' milk powder money by doing just that.
