And I'd also point out that nothing has to be bought/sold for prices to move, although volume does spike when prices move downwards.
I'm curious about your terminology. 100k is quite a bit for most people. Is that your 'trading' portfolio or your 'investing' portfolio? If it's the latter, I suggest you keep doing what you are doing (i.e. nothing).
