My advice to the beginners :

1.check btc price action often, take a stand(up/down) and act accordingly .if it's not clear, wait until certain levels hit.

Even if you buy alts, check the btc dominance, ethbtc charts often.

2.Focus on leading alts or atleast on the alts which bounced back faster after the dip. Always remember winner average winners. update your watchlist accordingly.

alts/btc and the alts comparison charts might be helpful in finding the leading alts .

also, focus on the sectors leading at that particular time, whether it could be defi,Ai, layer 1 or others.

3.No need to dca laggards, hoping that they would follow the trade idea. No need to fight against the trend.

listen to the charts, not how you want the trade to be.

4.Check the charts in HTF,mark your level of interest (support /resistance ) and wait for retests atleast in 4H tf.

keeping the support and resistance levels and indicators suits u might be helpful .

5.Have a clear view on trade and adjust your bias accordingly .Take profits upon reaching the targets(or take partial profits atleast and don't give it back to market).

You will be getting bigger cycle and don't spoil it this time.

Hope this tips might be helpful for everyone .....
