When to buy cryptocurrency (not financial advice, but guidelines).
1. During corrections (declines of 15–30%)
After a strong rise, crypto often corrects — this is an opportunity to enter at a lower price.
Example: Bitcoin fell from $73K to $58K — it's reasonable to consider a partial purchase.
2. When the market is in a "fear" phase (according to the Fear & Greed Index)
The Fear & Greed Index shows market sentiment.
"Fear" (below 30) — often a sign of a good entry point.
"Greed" (above 70) — a signal for caution.
3. Before halvings (Bitcoin, Litecoin)
Bitcoin halving occurs every 4 years and reduces the reward for miners.
Historically causes price increases 3–12 months after the event.
4. At support levels (according to technical analysis)
Technical support levels often provide good entry points.
But confirmation with volumes and the overall situation is important.
5. DCA (buying in parts)
Dollar-Cost Averaging: buy a little regularly (weekly/monthly).
Reduces the impact of volatility and emotional decisions.
● When to sell cryptocurrency?
1. When goals are reached
Set goals in advance: for example, a growth of 100%, and lock in part of the profit.
Example: Bought ETH for $2000, sell part at $4000.
2. During market "euphoria"
When "everyone is talking about crypto," meme coins are soaring, and the market is overheated — often the peak is near.
Indicator: greed and FOMO (fear of missing out on profit).
3. Before major negative events
News about strict regulation, exchange crashes, or court decisions — a reason to lock in risks.
For example, the situation with Binance in 2023 or FTX in 2022.
4. At resistance levels
The price approaches historical highs or strong selling zones — it's possible to partially lock in profits.
5. When the portfolio has become "imbalanced"
If crypto has risen and already occupies 70% of your portfolio — rebalancing reduces risk.
P.S. Don't enter everything at once. Divide your capital and buy in parts.
Don't sell in a panic. Sharp declines are not always a reason to dump.
Keep a trading journal. Record the reasons for buying/selling — this teaches discipline.
Keep an eye on news and trends. But don’t trade on "hype."
The conclusion: if you have extra money that you are not afraid to spend, buy; if you don't have extra money, sell.
