📌 What type of coin holder are you? Here are 9 common practical playstyles I've seen.
Trading coins is not about random buying; everyone has their own way of living.
Among these 9 strategies, I know people who have stabilized their bull-bear cycles with them. Which one do you resemble more? 👇
1⃣ Accumulation coin faction: Buy and play dead; the bull will surely win.
Suitable for: Patient individuals, those who believe in value investing.
Method: Pick a few coins (preferably mainstream or core narrative direction), buy and hold for at least six months; those who can hold will profit. It's not unusual to multiply 3 to 10 times during good markets, but the problem is—most people can't resist wanting to act within a month.
The difficulty in execution lies not in technology but in human nature.
2⃣ Bull market dip-chasers: I won't chase after altcoins that have soared; a pullback is my opportunity.
Suitable for: Entering in a bull market, short-term flexible types.
Operational thinking: Use one-fifth of idle funds for rotation, mainly focusing on altcoins ranked 20-100 by market cap. When you see a certain coin rise by over 50%, swap into coins that have not yet risen or just dropped significantly to form capital rotation.
The risk lies in not getting too deep into 'trap coins'; there are solutions in a bull market, and selecting coins is very important.
3⃣ Hourglass rotation flow: Understand the flow of funds and switch with the trend.
Suitable for: Those good at observing rhythms.
Strategy: Bitcoin leads the rise → mainstream coins rotate → small coins bloom. Select altcoins that haven't started in the next tier in advance to catch the rotational rhythm and avoid being the 'last runner'.
In a bull market, funds slowly seep into various tiers of coins like sand in an hourglass; understanding the structure allows you to seize entry points.
4⃣ Pyramid bottom-fishing faction: Not afraid of crashes, staggered bottom-fishing with rhythm.
Suitable for: Those who are bold yet meticulous and can wait.
Method: When a crash comes, don’t panic; build positions in batches according to the price drop of the coin—
If it drops by 20%, invest 10% of your position;
If it drops by 30%, add 20%;
If it drops by 40%, add 30%;
If it drops by 50%, finally top up.
It's not about getting rich overnight; it's about precise positioning gained from a large market trend.
5⃣ Moving average believers: Only believe in charts; technical signals dictate the course.
Suitable for: Those with a technical foundation who can read daily charts.
Tools: Use MA5, MA10, MA20, and other moving average combinations.
When the coin price stands above MA5 and MA10 → Continue to hold;
MA5 falls below MA10 → Sell;
MA5 crosses above MA10 again → Buy.
Don’t look at news or listen to tips; only act when the K-line gives signals.
6⃣ Aggressive accumulation faction: Money is everywhere; it’s just about who arrives first.
Suitable for: Those with liquid funds who have a long-term positive outlook on certain coins.
Operational logic:
When the coin price is 8 dollars, place an order to buy at 7 dollars;
Immediately place an order to sell at 8.8 dollars after buying;
After successfully selling, continue to place the next round of buy orders…
Use volatility to accumulate coins, lower holding costs, and avoid chasing highs or rushing to sell.
7⃣ Aggressive compound interest flow: New projects with old logic, go for a wave of three times rotation.
Suitable for: Those who dare to rush into new projects and understand how to take profits.
Thinking:
Participate in new projects sm (such as IEO, IDO, etc.);
After new coins rise 3-5 times, first withdraw the principal;
Continue to invest the remaining profits into the next one;
Repeat continuously, rolling the snowball.
The premise is to choose the right platform and understand how to filter projects; newcomers should not rush blindly.
8⃣ Swing cycle control: Not a bottom-fishing king, but a bold accumulator.
Suitable for: Those with great patience who can withstand volatility.
Select coins: For example, coins like ETC that have high volatility and good liquidity.
Buy more when it drops, and buy again when it drops further;
When it rises, reduce positions in batches and cash out profits;
Wait for the next wave of cycles to enter.
The difficulty of operation lies in psychological endurance; a steady mindset is essential to endure the whole phase.
9⃣ Small coin all-in type: Bet on probability for an explosion, control risk with discipline.
Suitable for: Those who can accept high volatility and understand diversification.
Playstyle:
Prepare 10,000 yuan, divide it into 10 parts.
Buy one small coin under 3 yuan each;
Don’t sell unless it rises 3-5 times, even if trapped, just hold on;
Once it doubles, take back the principal and invest in new targets.
The core is diversification + long-term strategy; do not go all in.
👀 Every type of play has people who can earn from it, as well as examples of those who got trapped. There is no universal formula for trading coins; what suits you is the most crucial.
