One of the most misunderstood concepts in crypto is “big moves.” Most people expect them to start with explosive candles and loud headlines. In reality, the largest moves usually begin when volatility is low, sentiment is mixed, and the market feels directionless.


Before every major expansion phase, price tends to compress. Liquidity builds quietly while traders lose interest. This is not weakness it’s preparation. Markets need fuel, and fuel is created when participation drops and expectations reset. When volatility eventually returns, it does so fast, leaving little time to react.
This is why chasing green candles rarely works. By the time a move looks obvious, early positioning has already happened. Smart market participants focus less on predicting exact tops or bottoms and more on identifying conditions low volatility, stable support, declining fear, and gradual capital inflows.
Crypto rewards those who can stay engaged when nothing seems to be happening. Boredom is often the price paid for being early. Excitement is often the cost of being late.
This is not financial advice. Markets move in probabilities, not guarantees.
Do you think the biggest crypto moves start in silence or chaos? Are you patient during quiet markets, or do you wait for confirmation?
