The most stable way to play Bitcoin spot trading: The ultimate guide from $2,000 to $1 million
"Spot trading is the real money printer in the crypto world -- start with 10 times in a bull market, stable as an old dog in a bear market.
If you find yourself doubting life after a contract liquidation, or are tired of being manipulated by market makers, then Bitcoin spot trading is the path for you. I once bought Bitcoin for 5,000 in spot in 2017 and sold at a high in 2021 for a 40x return; I bought again at the bottom in 2023 and my holdings are now close to 3x profit.
Advantages of spot trading: No liquidation risk (even if it crashes, it won't go to zero)
V is suitable for long-term holding (Bitcoin halves every 4 years, bullish in the long term)
Worry-free and effort-saving (no need to monitor the market daily, avoid emotional trading)
But spot trading is not just about buying blindly to make money; 90% of people lose money because they fall into these three traps: buying at high points (FOMO chasing the rise, getting trapped)
X cannot hold on (sell at a small increase, missing a 10x market)
Randomly switching positions (not holding BTC and instead buying junk coins)
So, how do we make steady profits with spot trading? The following method is suitable for players with funds ranging from $2,000 to $100,000; just execute the entire process mindlessly from timing, buying, holding to selling.
Step 1: Timing -- Only buy in the 'golden pit'
(Avoid buying at high positions, buy in the bottom area)
The price cycle of Bitcoin is very regular; every 4 years there is a halving, which must lead to a big bull market, and market bottoms often appear one year before a halving.
Best buying opportunity (applicable for 2024-2025):
Bitcoin drops to a key support level (such as the 200-week moving average, 50% retracement of the previous bull market high) Market is extremely fearful (Fear and Greed Index <20, Twitter is full of complaints)
Continuous decrease in Bitcoin supply on exchanges (indicating large holders are hoarding)
Never buy during these times:
Bitcoin just surged 30%+ (short-term correction is highly probable)
The whole network is shouting 'the bull is back' (peak FOMO sentiment)
Sudden increase in Bitcoin supply on exchanges (possible precursor to a crash)
Step 2: Buying -- Pyramid building method
(Avoid going all-in at once, lower costs)
Many people see Bitcoin rise and go all-in, only to buy at a short-term high and get stuck for half a year. The correct approach is to buy in batches, ensuring the average price is low.
Pyramid buying strategy (taking $2,000 as an example):
Initial investment 20% ($400) -- buy when Bitcoin drops to a key support level
Add 30% to your position every 10% drop (add $600) -- average down your costs
The remaining 50% of funds wait for extreme drops (like a black swan event)
Case study:
Bitcoin price: $30,000 (initial investment $400)
Drop to $27,000 (add $600)
Drop to $24,000 (add $600)
In extreme situations, drop to $20,000 (last $400 to go all in) Final average holding price: $25,000, which is 20% cheaper than going all in at once!
Step 3: Hold -- Ignore short-term fluctuations, just wait for the big bull market
(90% of people don't make money because they can't hold on)
The wealth password of Bitcoin is just one word: Hoard.
Holding discipline: Target: Hold at least until the peak of the 2025 bull market (expected $100,000+) ignore corrections within 30% (washing out during the bull market is normal)
Do not engage in contracts or short-term trading (to avoid being shaken out)
How to avoid selling impulsively?
Cold wallet storage (withdraw to a hardware wallet, reduce trading impulse)
Set price alerts (don't check the market until it reaches target price)
Join the long-term holding community (persist with HODLers)
Step 4: Sell -- Signals to escape at the peak of the bull market
(If you can't sell, no matter how much you earn, it's just paper wealth)
Key signals that the Bitcoin bull market has peaked:
Market is extremely greedy (Fear and Greed Index > 90)
Sudden surge in Bitcoin supply on exchanges (large holders starting to sell off)
Bitcoin dominance (market cap ratio) declines (funds flow to junk coins, nearing the end of the bull market) Newbies around you start discussing Bitcoin (retail investors are rushing in, and a crash is near) Selling strategy:
Take profits in batches (sell three times at $80,000, $100,000, $120,000)
Finally, use the last 10% position to fight for a higher price (to prevent selling too early)
Withdraw to stablecoins/USDT (to avoid profit loss from a crash)
Step 5: Cycle -- Wait for the next opportunity to buy the dip
(True winners are those who can position themselves in the market and cash out during a bull market)
The wealth of Bitcoin is cyclical; after the 2025 bull market ends, the market will enter another phase in 2026-2027, at which point you can repeat this method and continue to buy low.
Ultimate goal:
Every cycle, assets multiply by 10+
Use profits to improve your life, not to gamble with AIn
Ultimately achieve financial freedom
Summary: The most stable process for making money with Bitcoin spot trading
1. Timing → Only buy at market bottoms
2. Buying → Build a pyramid position to lower costs
3. Hold → Ignore fluctuations, aim for the bull market
4. Sell → Cashing out in batches at the bull market high
5. Cycle → Wait for the next round to buy the dip
If you can strictly follow this strategy, by 2025 your assets will at least multiply by 5-10 times.
I’m serious about trading; I plan to do this for a lifetime! From a complete novice to now making a living from trading, I have summarized seven principles of trading. If you also want to achieve something in trading, then lend me your ears; it might help you.
1. If the coin price is steadily rising, a correction is a good opportunity to enter. Just like driving, you have to wait for the red light to turn green before pressing the gas. A correction is a chance for us to build momentum, after which we can accelerate even more.
2. If the price is falling, a rebound is a warning to escape. Once the trend goes wrong, it is hard to recover; you may have to wait several months. Don't hold on stubbornly and don't waste time, withdraw quickly!
Short-term fluctuations are about the present, while long-term fluctuations require a broader view. Don't be misled by small fluctuations; look at the long term and fundamentals.
4. Your guessed bottom is often wrong; it may just be halfway up the mountain. The real bottom should be determined by market sentiment and capital flow. Don't blindly buy the dip; if you do it poorly, you will get stuck.
5. Don't always think about making money through good news; the real market is driven by expectations. Don't act impulsively just because you hear news; most of the time, what you hear is leftovers from others. Even if it is true news, by the time you find out, the market is likely nearing its end.
Don't easily leverage; it won't make you win more, it will only make you lose more severely. Once you can't hold on, it's all over.
7. You need to set stop-loss and take-profit points for yourself. When it drops to a certain level, you must decisively stop-loss; when it rises to a certain level, you must sell. Don't chase the rise for too long; many people lose money in a bull market because they don't understand this principle; you must learn to take profits.
Understanding trading is a process; it is the same from seven losses to two breakeven and then to one profit, which is to stay focused and not be tempted by various profit models; firmly establish this one trading system, and over time, this system will become your ATM.
