After taking profit from the recent BNB trading round, I have upgraded my investment portfolio to optimize profits and reduce risks. Currently, I divide my portfolio as follows: 40% USDT to wait for DCA opportunities in BNB/ETH, 30% into layer 1 coins like BNB and AVAX, 20% for altcoins with potential airdrop factors like ARB or ZK. The remaining 10% I set aside to experiment with newly launched tokens like $XNY. This plan helps me avoid too much FOMO, while also allowing for flexible proportions for each objective: short-term – medium-term – long-term.
Last week, I had a small trading round with BNB. I bought 200 USD at a price of 639 USD/BNB, divided into 4 times taking profit at levels 655, 659, and 670. Then, I continued to buy an additional 100 USD at a price of 658 and sold when it reached 670. Currently, I have completed the trading round and am holding 1300 USD in capital. From DCA and gradually selling out, I have learned that patience and having a specific plan help me reduce risk and ensure clearer profits. I am still observing the market to wait for a new entry point.
BTC has always been the name I prioritize monitoring every day. Although the market has many new coins, BTC still plays a leading role and serves as the best psychological indicator. Recently, I've noticed BTC fluctuating strongly whenever there is news related to ETFs or US interest rates. I do not trade BTC frequently due to the large capital, but I still use it to determine the trend before deciding to buy altcoins. When BTC is sideways, I prefer to hold stablecoins and wait for the right time. When BTC rises sharply, I start reallocating my portfolio.
In my journey of crypto investing, I realized the clear difference between Spot trading and Futures. With Spot, I feel safer because I only buy when I have actual capital, without leverage, so the risk is lower. Meanwhile, Futures allows me to amplify profits quickly but can also easily lead to account liquidation if not managed well. In the beginning, I lost quite a bit in Futures due to a lack of discipline and not setting stop-losses. Later on, I chose a capital allocation strategy: 70% in Spot for long-term accumulation, 30% in Futures for short-term trading, along with strict stop-losses.
Recently, I have been closely monitoring the activities of Bitcoin (BTC) whales, as they have a significant impact on market sentiment. Whenever a large amount of BTC is transferred to an exchange or withdrawn from a cold wallet, prices tend to fluctuate dramatically. I have noticed that there was a wave of whales transferring a large amount of BTC to the exchange, immediately followed by a slight correction. Such signals are very important for me to decide whether to take profits or hold my position. Although whales often 'swim in their own way', if we know how to observe correctly, we can still 'ride the waves' accordingly.
#OneBigBeautifulBill Today I just discovered an interesting concept in crypto called One Big Beautiful Bill. This is a metaphor for small investments that can turn into big opportunities if directed correctly. In a volatile market like crypto, sometimes just a timely price increase can generate significant profits. I have missed a few opportunities like that, so currently I am learning to observe the market more carefully, be more patient, and know how to filter information. I hope that more 'beautiful bills' will appear in my investment portfolio!
