#BeginnerTrader , please 🙏. It is really painful to read how you are losing your money by listening to other people. In most cases those people are not even a scammers, often they are misguided as well.
Do not even take financial advice from me. After reading any of my articles, go and research topic further and make your own conclusions.
CM futures is a decent option for spot traders to get some extra profit on a coin we already hold (long) or have some protection/hedge in a bear market (short) without locking stable coin. Use your coin, in my case $ETH as a collateral. And don’t overuse leverage. Hold it as long as you want (within quarter boundaries) - no funding fees!!!. It is best to close or roll-over around month before delivery date, unless it is clear winner - in this case hold till the end of period.
And for that matter this will likely apply to most of the other alt coins.
I don’t think there will be a persistent uptrend to the new ATH in May.
Look at the Aug-Oct period of 2024. We can call those 13 weeks of trading in the range (amber rectangle) an “accumulation” phase. Now we are only 7 weeks in a similar phase. There still can be a dip lower but more likely it will trade in the range for 4-8 more weeks - this will mostly depend on news rather than on any TA stuff.
What will be the range. More likely than not it will be the range of the yellow rectangle. If news background is too good it may extend the range to the pink rectangle. Also it is very likely ETH will test bottom of the yellow range again.
I’d say sell (not necessarily short) in the end of April - early May. Or accumulate and hold through these period.
I’ll likely sell some of the weaker coins and hold / accumulate liquid ones.
Harmful narratives on Square come and go in waves. Once a few month there appears this narrative about “hedge” mode.
There are so many reasons to avoid it that I won’t bother to list them over and over again. If you are interested you can easily search posts on my profile describing them.
Just think about it, it is disabled by default on Binance for a reason. Even though Cross mode is by default enabled, and it is second most harmful feature for beginners. But unlike cross mode, hedge mode is not only harmful for beginners it is also mostly useless for advanced users.
If you want to, by all means, try it, and after it wipes all your capital come back and like this post.
#MarketRebound Binance is delisting utility coins but keeps listed trash meme coins. They know something. This alt-season may indeed be great for meme-coin holders.
Which meme coins should I buy? $NEIRO ? $DOGE ? $FLOKI ?
Imagine, what would happen if there is no next altseason, if $ETH and $SOL don’t create new ATH, if meme coins don’t pump. There will be no market, retail will not bring their money to play this game. Eventually, there will be only holders who almost never sell 😂
What do you think? How those whales and institutions and market makers and whole industry will get their 🛥️ and lambos if we stop bringing them money.
They need to give us hope, advertise, market prices up and dump them down, so we stay on the hook.
So, there of course will be alt season, it is just will not let us win but it won’t let us completely lose, so we hope next time we get it right 😂
This is one the most important thing you need to know about #TradingPsychology
#StopLossStrategies Binance delisting of utility coins / tokens damaged me more than me trading in futures.
And in futures trader mostly damage themselves because of wrong risk management strategies. But in case of delisting, spot holders are unprotected and are damaged directly by the exchange.
#DiversifyYourAssets Experienced investors know that over-diversification can be just as detrimental as over-concentration. Why? Because effective diversification hinges on understanding correlation. Simply adding more assets that move similarly doesn’t reduce risk—it amplifies it. The key to smart diversification lies in thinking across asset classes, not just increasing the number of assets in your portfolio. Another important—though debatable—aspect of diversification is regular rebalancing. By periodically adjusting your portfolio, you can ensure it stays aligned with your goals, responding to market shifts. However, the frequency and strategy for rebalancing can vary, and some argue that too much rebalancing may lead to unnecessary trading costs and missed opportunities. Here are a few practical suggestions to improve your diversification and risk management: If you're primarily holding altcoins, consider increasing your BTC, ETH, and BNB allocations. Conversely, if you’re heavily invested in Bitcoin, consider spreading your holdings across other asset classes.I see, for example, BNB as a good hedge asset—while it’s still influenced by the broader crypto market, its performance is also tied to Binance, making it somewhat anti-correlated and offering an additional layer of protection. You may want to allocate 5-10% of your portfolio into BNB and additionally benefit from 10-15% fee discount and receive airdrops from Binance launch poolIf you're an active trader, it’s still wise to allocate a reasonable portion of your funds to a more stable, "untouchable" investment. Consider keeping this portion in a diversified mix of top 10 cryptocurrencies by market cap to provide long-term stability while you trade more actively. You may even decide to hold it outside of exchange, however, holding it on exchange my provide some extra benefits.Consider investing a portion of your capital in Binance's Top-10 Index, which operates fully on autopilot and automatically rebalances every month. This offers a hands-off way to gain exposure to the top-performing cryptocurrencies while maintaining diversification. Here’s my ideal crypto-portfolio composition, designed to offer solid diversification while still providing ample upside potential: 40-50% in mature, high-cap cryptocurrencies like BTC, ETH, and BNB, ensuring stability and long-term growth potential.10-15% in stablecoins to seize opportunities during market dips, engage in active trading, rebalance, or quickly withdraw funds if needed.~30% in assets from sectors you believe in (for me, in this season it’s DeFi, but it could be anything that aligns with your vision, like NFTs or Layer-2 solutions).5-10% in speculative sectors you might not fully believe in but that have the potential for exponential growth—what I call the "tail" of your portfolio. For me, this includes memes and gaming, but it’s up to your taste. In summary, a well-balanced crypto-portfolio should include a mix of stable, high-cap assets, exposure to promising sectors, and a touch of speculative assets. A suggested composition might look like this: 40-50% in mature, high-cap cryptocurrencies (BTC, ETH, BNB)10-15% in stablecoins for flexibility~30% in assets from sectors you believe in5-10% in speculative sectors that could boom If you're more conservative, consider adjusting your top-10 holdings to 60% or more for added stability. Conversely, if you're more adventurous, you might reduce them to 30%, but remember, don't abandon the idea of diversification. Balancing risk with potential reward is key to long-term success in crypto.
#CryptoTariffDrop There will be no bear market and recession yet. Trump has no choice but bail economy out and keep it raising for at least 1.5-2 years more. Even April has good chances to be green and we are looking for new ATHs anytime after June. Keep calm and buy spot.
#TrumpTariffs purpose is obviously an instrument to: - fix balance of trade - punish BRICS countries, partners and countries seeking for partnership with BRICS - show off economic leverage on friends and foes
USD has been strengthening since covid, and this was not ideal for balance of trade. Now it is returning back to pre-covid level.
After yesterday, finally macro-players and large money managers have a bit more certainty, can update their models and figure out how to bring things back on track.
So tariffs announcement is sort of resolution and transition from more uncertainty to less uncertainty.
Long term markets will be ok. Short/mid term we may expect more correction, or likely just establishing new range and trading in that range until next trigger occurs.
