šÆ Swing Trader Strategy
Goal: Fast gains, ride volatility.
Time Horizon: Hours to days.
ā
What to Do:
Ride the early waves: Focus on L1s (SOL, ETH, NEAR) during breakout.
Momentum entries on narrative peaks ā use Breakout + RSI/MACD confirmation.
Quick exits when RSI > 70 + volume divergence.
Rotate capital: from ETH ā AI ā Gaming ā Memes ā RWA.
ā Avoid:
Getting stuck in dying narratives.
Trading low liquidity gems without volume confirmation.
šø Staker/Yield Farmer Strategy
Goal: Passive income with mid-long-term gains.
Time Horizon: Weeks to months.
ā
What to Do:
Stake L1s early (ETH, SOL, NEAR) ā max exposure during rally.
Bridge into AI or Gaming farms if yield is high and token has buzz.
Stake in liquid staking protocols (e.g., Lido for ETH, Jito for SOL).
Use rewards to re-enter new narratives.
ā Avoid:
High APY farms with tokens that are not part of the current narrative.
Staking meme coins unless you're early and very short-term focused.
š”ļø Cautious/Conservative Trader Strategy
Goal: Safety-first with steady growth.
Time Horizon: Long-term or cycle-based.
ā
What to Do:
Stick with ETH, BTC, SOL, MATIC, and real-world utility coins.
DCA into narratives before they explode (e.g., AI before partnership news).
Stake only on major protocols with strong TVL (AAVE, ETH2.0).
Allocate small % (10ā20%) into new narratives for exposure.
ā Avoid:
FOMO buying narrative tops (wait for corrections).
Overexposure to meme coins or microcaps.
