From DCA to Reading Global Sentiment

What do you think about things lately? Personally, I see BTC showing its fangs again, especially after a few weeks of sideways movement that got a bit boring. But in a calm phase like this, there are usually many opportunities if we are sharp in reading the market.

I personally started to get back into BTC when the price bounced from a strong support around 60K. Not just because of the technicals, but I also see macro sentiment becoming more positive, especially with the ongoing narrative about ETFs that keeps boosting Bitcoin's profile to institutions. So now I'm using a DCA (dollar cost averaging) strategy to gradually add to my position, while keeping an eye on volume and whale movements.

Now, when it comes to trading style, I prefer swing trading over scalping. I like to look at the 4H to 1D time frames to make decisions. My favorite indicators are RSI and EMA cross, plus watching volume to gauge momentum. But I also don’t solely rely on chart sentiment; I pay attention to global news and stock index direction as well. Sometimes BTC movements are related to indices like the S&P 500, so it's important to stay updated on macro news.

I also continue to diversify. Even though BTC is dominant in my portfolio, I set aside some for altcoins that have strong use cases. But still, BTC is the king and remains the safest place to protect value in this volatile crypto world.

For those just starting out, my advice is: don’t rush into FOMO. First, get to know your character as a trader or investor. Study BTC patterns, learn from mistakes, and most importantly, have an entry and exit plan.
