❗As a Retail Trader What to do now?❗

Here are some practical tips to position your crypto portfolio in light of the current U.S.-China trade dynamics:

1. **Stay Agile with Allocation**

Diversify between large-cap (e.g., BTC, ETH) and selective altcoins.

* Keep a **portion in stable coins** (e.g., USDT, USDC) to react quickly to market shifts or capitalize on dips.

2. **Watch the Dollar Index (DXY)**

* A rising DXY usually puts pressure on crypto prices.

* Use it as a macro signal: if the dollar cools off, it might signal a short-term opportunity for crypto gains.

3. **Use Volatility to Your Advantage**

* Expect price swings as the 90-day window nears expiration.

* Consider **buying dips** if sentiment temporarily turns negative—especially on quality projects.

### 4. **Track Global Risk Appetite**

* Monitor **tech stocks (e.g., Nasdaq)** and commodity prices. If they trend up, it’s often bullish for crypto as well.

* Follow **news on trade negotiations**—progress can support a broader risk-on environment.

### 5. **Protect Yourself**

* Set **stop-losses** and **limit orders**.

* Use **options or hedging strategies** if you're trading on platforms like Binance Options.

Wish you all the best traders ❤️
