$ME $BTC A few tips I have learned the hard way over the years of investing:
1. Most retail investors are newbies who freak out on pullbacks. They may get lucky sometimes, but eventually they end up buying high and selling low. Keep this in mind and use panic and hype as proxies.
2. Invest less than the maximum you can afford to lose. A clear mind prevents you from becoming part of point 1.
3. Buy low, sell high. When everyone is doubting, remember points 1 and 2. If people are crying on Binance, it is usually a sign to start looking for buy positions.
4. Consolidations take time. Pumps happen, but market makers and bots don't let that happen before they get their fill. They also do liquidations. They helped push the price up, they sold before the dump started. The dump is mostly from newbies.
5. In a bullish market, remember that point 4 assumes that higher moves are coming. Be patient, or you’ll end up chasing the next moonshot and missing out — most people lose their money this way. Monitor market stats like the fear and greed index to time bull runs for BTC and altcoins.
6. Many people posting here have no idea what they’re doing and are just using ChatGPT for “technical analysis.” Learn from your mistakes, filter information, and fact-check before copying.
7. TA is useful, but it’s not gospel. You can fit any narrative with the right handpicked chart. Use it as a tool, not a crutch. Random lines and patterns without context will get you liquidated.
8. Be realistic with take-profits. Nothing goes up forever, and corrections are healthy — but pick your battles wisely. Avoid selling on dips, but don’t get stuck in multi-year corrections.
