In the ever-changing cryptocurrency market, what seems to be a complex investment field actually hides some simple yet effective strategies. There is a 'dumbest' method of trading cryptocurrencies that may help investors earn substantial profits, as long as they are patient in learning and strictly executing. The three no principles build a solid investment baseline: refuse to chase up, embrace contrarian thinking.
Never impulsively buy when the cryptocurrency price is rising. Understand the investment philosophy of 'be greedy when others are fearful, and be fearful when others are greedy.' Make it a habit to buy during downturns, as they often contain underestimated value. When the market is in panic and cryptocurrency prices drop significantly, many people rush to sell, which is the perfect time to calmly analyze and seek potential quality coins to buy. Entering the market at this time means lower costs and greater potential for future increases. For example, if a popular cryptocurrency drops sharply due to overall market panic, but its fundamentals have not deteriorated significantly, buying at this point can yield considerable profits once market sentiment recovers and prices rebound. Avoid placing large orders and maintain flexible operations.
Never place large orders. Large orders can lock up funds and restrict trading flexibility. In the rapidly changing cryptocurrency market, flexibility is crucial. Once the market receives unexpected good or bad news, placing large orders may lead to missing the best buying or selling opportunities. For instance, if you plan to place a low-priced order to buy a cryptocurrency, but the market suddenly surges due to significant positive news, and your order is not filled, you will miss the chance to buy at a low price; conversely, if you place a large order to sell but the market quickly drops, you will similarly be unable to stop loss or secure profits in time. Be wary of full positions and control opportunity costs.
Never go all-in. Going all-in makes investors extremely passive in the face of market fluctuations. The cryptocurrency market has numerous opportunities, and going all-in means giving up other potential investment opportunities, leading to high opportunity costs. New hot cryptocurrencies or trend reversals may emerge at any time in the market, and if you are fully invested, you may be unable to participate even if you discover better investment opportunities. Furthermore, if the market trend reverses against expectations, investors in a full position may face significant losses and even lack the funds to average down. For example, when the market suddenly turns bearish, investors holding full positions can only watch their assets shrink significantly without being able to take effective measures to respond. The six key rules for short-term cryptocurrency trading can help you grasp market opportunities: observe price changes at highs and lows.
After a cryptocurrency price consolidates at a high level, there is usually another new high; conversely, after consolidating at a low level, there is often another new low. Therefore, investors should patiently wait for the direction of the price change to become clear before proceeding with operations. During the high-level consolidation phase, although the price may seem stagnant, both bulls and bears are engaged in intense competition, and buying impulsively may result in a significant pullback after a brief new high; similarly, during low-level consolidation, blindly trying to catch the bottom may lead to buying too early, only to encounter a further drop before a true reversal occurs. Only by waiting for the price to break through the consolidation range and clarifying the direction of the change can one increase the chances of investment success. Observing sideways movements helps preserve capital.
Do not trade during sideways movements. This seemingly simple point is a key reason why most people lose money in cryptocurrency trading. During sideways phases, the market lacks a clear trend, and price fluctuations are small, leading to relatively high trading fees and slippage costs. Frequent trading at this time not only makes it difficult to profit but may also erode the principal due to fees and other factors. For example, if a cryptocurrency's price fluctuates within a narrow range for a certain period, frequent buying and selling during this time incurs trading fees, which may ultimately lead to a continuous decrease in the principal without any substantial gains. Therefore, the best strategy during sideways movements is to hold onto cryptocurrencies and wait for the trend to become clear before entering the market.
When selecting K-lines, buy when you see a bearish candle (阴线) and sell when you see a bullish candle (阳线). A bearish candle often indicates strong selling pressure in the short term, and prices may decline; this could be a good buying opportunity because the prices are relatively low, with potential for a rebound. Conversely, a bullish candle indicates dominant buying pressure and rising prices; selling after a bullish candle can lock in profits. However, it is important to note that this strategy is not absolute and should be combined with an overall market trend and other technical indicators for a comprehensive judgment. For instance, in the early stages of a bull market, buying on a bearish candle may quickly lead to sustained price increases; while in a bear market, a bullish candle may only represent a brief rebound, and selling afterward may still see the price continue to decline.
As the pace of decline slows, rebounds will also slow; as the decline accelerates, rebounds will also speed up. When the price of a cryptocurrency drops at a gradually slowing pace, it indicates that bearish forces are weakening, but the recovery of bullish forces is also relatively slow, so the strength and speed of rebounds will tend to be small. Conversely, when the price drops rapidly, it suggests that bearish forces are being concentrated and the market may be overreacting; at this point, if a rebound occurs, it is often quick and substantial. Investors can pay attention to rebound opportunities based on this pattern; during accelerating declines, they should prepare to buy in advance, while during slowing declines, they should not have overly high expectations for rebounds and should operate cautiously.
Using the pyramid buying method to build positions is a relatively stable strategy in value investing. The pyramid building method means that after initially buying a cryptocurrency, if the price drops, gradually increase the buying amount, with each subsequent amount larger than the previous one, forming a shape similar to a pyramid. This way, you can continuously lower the average cost during the price decline while controlling risk. For example, buy a certain amount of cryptocurrency at a high price for the first time, and when the price drops by 10%, the amount for the second purchase is 1.5 times that of the first; if the price continues to drop by another 10%, the amount for the third purchase is double that of the second. By this method, even if the price continues to drop in the short term, you can average down through subsequent low-priced purchases, and when the price rebounds, you can realize profits quickly.
When a cryptocurrency continues to rise or fall, it will inevitably enter a sideways phase. At this time, there is no need to sell fully at high levels, nor is it necessary to buy fully at low levels. Because after consolidation, a change in trend is inevitable. If the trend changes downwards from a high level, one should promptly liquidate their position; if the trend changes upwards from a low level, one should promptly follow up with purchases. In the sideways phase after a sustained price increase, although there may be a risk of a pullback, there is also the possibility of breaking through and continuing to reach new highs; selling all at once may miss out on subsequent profits. Conversely, in the sideways phase after a sustained price drop, blindly buying in fully carries significant risk, and it is more prudent to wait until the direction of change is clear before taking action. For example, if a cryptocurrency enters a sideways phase after a significant increase, selling all at that point may result in missing out on further gains if the price breaks upwards; on the other hand, if one blindly buys in fully during a sideways phase after a significant drop, a downward change could lead to huge losses. Therefore, closely monitoring market signals during sideways phases and flexibly adjusting investment strategies according to the direction of change is crucial.
Trading cryptocurrencies is not without rules. By following these seemingly simple principles and rules, combined with a deep understanding and analysis of the market, investors can find ways to achieve steady profits in the complex and ever-changing cryptocurrency market. However, remember that investing in cryptocurrencies carries significant risks, and past strategies are for reference only; investment decisions must be made cautiously.
