Bullish momentum: Bitcoin is hovering around $105,000–$106,000, with analysts predicting potential highs of $150K–$180K in 2025.

Strategy Guide – May 2025
1. Portfolio Diversification
40% Bitcoin $BTC : Store of value, ETF-driven demand.

Reduces the impact of volatility and avoids FOMO-buying.
3. Use Technical and On-Chain Analysis
Watch for RSI levels (70+ = overbought, <30 = oversold).
Track on-chain data: wallet inflows/outflows, whale activity, exchange reserves.
Use platforms like Glassnode, Santiment, and TradingView.
4. Risk Management
Set stop-losses (e.g., 10–15% below entry).
Avoid overexposure to one asset.
Keep 20–30% in cash or stablecoins for dip buying or emergencies.
5. Stay Informed
Follow reputable analysts, project whitepapers, and market news.
Avoid hype-based decisions—study fundamentals and token utility.
