Major funds become active during the US trading hours. As the VIX index rises, the cryptocurrency market, stock markets, and commodities generally come under pressure. A partial rebound occurs afterward, but digital assets still remain in a downward channel, with the decline even widening.

In such a volatile environment, it is clear that solo positions are difficult to sustain. Market observation should shift focus to: traditional indices such as DAX, Dow Jones, NASDAQ, S&P 500, and Turkey Index; as well as commodities like copper, gold, silver, platinum, palladium, and Brent crude oil, along with the movements of mainstream cryptocurrencies like BTC and ETH.

During periods of high volatility, grid trading strategies become more practical — by deploying orders in phases within the price fluctuation range, to avoid risks associated with purely directional bets.

BTC-3.98%

ETH-6.93%

Unilateral trading should have died long ago; this wave of market is just here to teach people how to do grid trading. Seeing VIX so arrogant, who would still dare to go all-in? Grid trading is the way to go; lowering costs is the real deal. BTC is back again, still doing grid. In a choppy market, using unilateral trading is just giving away money. Let’s see how smart people do it. By the way, how are gold and oil now linked? Has anyone observed this? I survive on grid trading, no hype, no blackening. This downward channel isn’t over yet, should we wait a bit longer before positioning? Rebounds are all fake; when DAX and US indices fall, everything falls.

Ha, it's another chaotic situation. Holding a one-sided position is indeed asking for trouble. Grid trading sounds good, but the high transaction fees are also hard to bear. When VIX is so high, it's better to just watch and wait for an opportunity.

Grid trading sounds good, but when faced with extreme market conditions, it still tends to break down. Am I right?

Long positions should have been closed long ago. This wave of volatility is truly extreme. It's quite uncomfortable to see the decline widen. Grid trading sounds good, but it requires constant monitoring, which is a bit tiring. With BTC's current trend, it feels like we're about to hit new lows again. When the VIX rises, everything falls—it's really outrageous. For indices like the DAX and the US Dollar Index, they need to be viewed in conjunction; just watching one currency isn't enough. I didn't understand the part about the widening decline. How did it fall even more after rebounding? Where's the expected rebound? While grid trading has low risk, the returns are also small. In this kind of market environment, cash is king. Let's wait and see. It seems I need to pay more attention to traditional markets; I can't just stick to the crypto world. In a volatile environment, it's really a useless market to hold heavy positions.

This market rebound is really a fake fall, the guys who went long single-sided probably got liquidated long ago. Grid trading really should be used, otherwise you'll get cut every day. The index linkage looks complicated, but actually it's just money flowing into traditional finance. BTC is still struggling, why not wait a bit? High volatility requires multiple strategies, not just the old HODL routine. With VIX so high, I think I'll reduce my position first and see. Forget it, I'll stick with the miserable grid trading, it's simpler.

ngl, this whole "grid trading saves you" pitch feels like cope. seen too many traders get liquidated thinking they found the magic formula. vix spiking + everything dumping simultaneously? that's not volatility, that's systemic stress. DYOR before you start thinking you can arb your way out of this mess, not financial advice but... yeah don't.

Here we go again. As soon as the US market becomes active, they start dumping. Holding a one-sided position is really tough. Grid trading sounds easy in theory, but in practice, you still have to watch the market closely. It's exhausting. Just watching the DAX and the US indices, it feels a bit over the top. Is this how big funds treat retail investors?
