9 Major Methods for Steady Growth in the Cryptocurrency Market (Practical Compilation)
1. Long-term Holding Method
Suitable for bull and bear cycles, select 1-3 core coins (such as BTC, ETH) to hold for more than six months, aiming to ride out the volatility. The problem is that most newcomers can't hold on, wanting to cash out after a small gain and sell at a loss after a slight drop; the execution difficulty is higher than selecting coins.
2. Buying the Dip in a Bull Market
Applicable only in a bull market. Use no more than 20% of the total funds, focusing on coins ranked 20-100 by market cap. Choose altcoins with significant price increases, and after reaching a certain level, switch to coins that have plunged for rotation. There’s a high probability of breaking even, but it can easily lead to losses, so it is recommended for newcomers to use with caution.
3. Hourglass Rotation Method
Internal rhythm of a bull market: Bitcoin takes off → mainstream coins follow → small coins surge. The core idea is to preemptively position “the next wave” of coins in each round, rather than chasing after rising prices. With the right timing, light positions, and high return efficiency.
4. Pyramid Bottom-Fishing Method
Suitable for building positions in batches during a market crash. The lower the price drops, the heavier the position, for example, building 10% when the price drops by 80%, 20% when it drops by 70%, and so on until 50%. Strong rhythm and risk control are essential; otherwise, it can lead to deeper losses.
5. Moving Average Trend Method
Set MA5, 10, 20, 30, 60 to observe daily charts. Hold when MA5 is above the line, reduce positions when MA5 breaks below MA10, and increase positions conversely. Suitable for those with a basic understanding of candlestick charts, with the advantages of clear logic and strong discipline.
6. Range Accumulation Method
Suitable for familiar high-volatility coins. For example, if the current coin price is $8, you can place a buy order at $7, and after the transaction, set a sell order at $8.8. Gradually accumulate coin quantity by buying at 90% of the current price and selling at 110%. Requires liquidity and patience.
7. IEO Snowball Method
Continuously participate in the launch of new projects, withdraw the principal after a 3-5x increase, and roll the profits into the next project. If the projects are chosen well, it can yield significant returns from a small initial investment after a round of market activity.
8. Swing Trading Method
Choose highly volatile coins (such as ETC, UNI), gradually increase positions with each price drop, and recover the principal after a rebound. The core is to set proper take-profit and stop-loss points, without becoming overly attached to trades.
9. Small Coin Diversification Method
For example, use $10,000 divided into ten portions, buying one small coin under $3 with each portion. Set a rule that you won’t exit unless it increases by 3-5 times. Take profits to roll into the next round, and if it falls, just hold it and wait for the cycle. The core is to engage in probabilistic gaming, but the right track must be chosen.
