In my 7 years of trading cryptocurrencies, there are two strategies that have proven to be highly profitable, working well in both volatile and trending markets. Here is a comprehensive guide to these strategies that have helped me achieve significant profits:

This strategy focuses on taking advantage of strong trends, ideal for altcoins that are in a significant uptrend.

🔑 Key criteria for long-term momentum buy orders:

- Bullish Market Structure: Look for a clear uptrend with higher highs and higher lows. 📊

- Moving Averages (MA) Spreading Out: Make sure that the short-term MAs are above the long-term MAs and are diverging. 🧮

- High Volume Breakout: Look for breakouts with increasing volume to confirm strength. 🚀

💡 Example:

- $SOL: When $SOL is trending up and breaks resistance, it becomes a prime candidate for momentum trades.

2. Mean Price Reversion Strategy: For Swinging or Volatile Altcoins 📉

This strategy works well in sideways or ranging markets, taking advantage of price fluctuations around the average.

🔑 Main criteria to trigger mean reversion:

- Resistance Rejection: Identify price levels that frequently reverse. 🛑

- Swing Failure Pattern: Look for unsuccessful attempts to break key levels. 🔄

- Pop-up Support: Target areas where price consistently finds support. 🏗️

💡 Example:

- $LINK: When $LINK is range bound, the Mean Reversion strategy identifies profitable entry points at support and resistance levels.

⚖️ Advantages and disadvantages:

Both strategies have their strengths, but neither approach is completely “RIGHT”. The key is to find which strategy suits your trading style and personality.

🧠 Pro Tip:

- Strategy Testing: Start with a small account to test both strategies. This helps understand your counterparty and develop an emotional edge by assessing:

- Momentum Traders: Are They Excited or Overly Optimistic? 🎉

- Mean Reversion Traders: Are They Panicking or Cautious? 😰

To use both strategies effectively:

1. Determine market structure: Understand whether the market is trending or fluctuating. 🔍

2. Determine price action: Is the price trending strongly or sideways? 🧭

3. Create entry and exit triggers: Define clear rules for entering and exiting trades. 🎯

4. Execute and refine: Execute 30-100 trades, keep a trade journal, and continuously improve. 📝

💥 Taking this approach will help you take advantage of significant altcoin gains, especially during a bull market.
