9 Major Methods for Steady Value 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 long-term for over six months, aiming to ride through the volatility. The problem is that most beginners cannot hold; they want to sell after making a little profit and panic sell when there’s a drop, making execution harder than choosing coins.
2. Buying the Dip in Bull Markets
Only applicable in bull market conditions. Operate with no more than 20% of the total capital, focusing on coins ranked 20-100 by market capitalization. Choose altcoins with significant price increases, and after they rise to a certain level, switch to coins that are plummeting for rotation. There’s a high probability of getting back to break-even, but it’s easy to get trapped; beginners are advised to use this cautiously.
3. Hourglass Rotation Method
The internal rhythm of a bull market: Bitcoin takes off → mainstream coins follow → small coins explode. The core idea is to pre-emptively position yourself with “the next wave” coins in each round, rather than chasing after rising prices. If the timing is right, positions are light, and efficiency is high.
4. Pyramid Bottom-Fishing Method
Suitable for building positions in batches during a sharp decline. The lower the price falls, the heavier the position. For example, when it drops 80%, build a 10% position, at 70% drop build 20%, and so on down to 50%. Strong rhythm and risk control are needed, otherwise, it’s easy to get further trapped.
5. Moving Average Trend Method
Set MA5, 10, 20, 30, 60 to view daily charts. Hold when MA5 is above the line, reduce holdings if MA5 drops below MA10, and vice versa. Suitable for those with basic candlestick knowledge; the advantage is clear logic and strong discipline.
6. Range Accumulation Method
Suitable for familiar, high-volatility coins. For example, if the current coin price is 8U, place a buy order at 7U, then after the transaction, place a sell order at 8.8U. Accumulate the number of coins long-term by buying at 90% of the current price and selling at 110%. Requires liquidity and patience.
7. IEO Snowball Method
Continuously participate in the initial launches of new projects, take out the principal after a 3-5x increase, and roll the profits into the next project. If the project selection is precise, a small principal can yield significant returns after a round of market activity.
8. Swing Cycle Method
Select coins with high volatility (like ETC, UNI), gradually increase positions with each price drop, and recover the principal after selling during rebounds. The core is to set stop-loss and take-profit levels and not get emotionally attached to positions.
9. Small Coin Diversification Method
For example, use 10,000 yuan divided into ten parts, buying one small coin under 3 yuan with each part. Set rules to not sell until the price triples to quintupled. Take profits when prices rise and roll them into the next round; if trapped, just hold and wait for the cycle. The core is to use probability for speculation, but it's essential to choose the right sector.
