🚀 Bitcoin is no longer traded like in 2017. And not like in 2021.
- Market School by ChainOracle
Over the years, $BTC has changed. And with it, trading strategies have evolved too.
Today, it's no longer enough to buy every dip and wait for the moon.
The market is more mature, more institutional… and also more technical.
🎯 What is changing in Bitcoin trading?
Supports and resistances become “zones,” no longer precise levels.
Experienced traders do not seek the “perfect point” but areas where the price can react. This is even more true since institutional volumes have made movements less sharp and more manipulated.
The concept of "Trend Following" has refined.
Now confirmations are sought: breakout + volume, clean retests, and active position management.
Retail traders can no longer afford random entries.
Constant accumulation (DCA) has replaced FOMO.
Long cycles have shown that buying regularly has yielded more than chasing pumps. More cautious traders today integrate DCA into their strategy, sometimes alongside swing trading.
Open interest in derivatives and on-chain metrics are part of the setup.
One no longer looks only at the chart. Funding rates, open interest, inflow/outflow from exchanges, and whale behavior are analyzed.
It has become “multi-layer” trading.
More complex strategies with simpler tools.
With perpetuals, options, and spot ETFs on BTC, today you can structure advanced strategies (hedging, covers, arbitrage) without leaving the most well-known exchanges.
The era of all-in with 25x leverage is over.
💡 In summary?
Bitcoin still moves in cycles.
But today, those who trade it successfully use tools, metrics, and approaches that are much more professional.
Those who have updated their strategy have survived (and grown).
Those who remained stuck in the patterns of 2017… have been swept away.
📌 Adapting is the only strategy that never stops working.
