Generating 200k monthly when the market's going sideways—it's doable, but you need to think differently. Most traders just sit around waiting for big moves, which is a losing game. Here's what actually works: leverage volatility in ranging markets through spot-futures arbitrage, stack yield on stablecoins via lending protocols, run systematic grid trading on support/resistance levels, or rotate through altcoins showing local strength while major pairs consolidate. Even in flat markets, there's usually a handful of tokens pumping while others dump—catch that flow. You could also hedge long positions with put options on indices to fund your trading. The key? Don't chase the narrative. Work the technicals, manage position size ruthlessly, and remember that sideways markets often precede violent moves. If you're not consistently pulling profits in choppy conditions, scaling to 200k in bullish markets won't happen.
