In an unstable market, try to avoid high-risk, high-volatility altcoins and high-leverage contracts. If participation is necessary, choose mainstream coins like Ethereum, SOL, BNB, etc., as these have stronger risk resistance during market fluctuations. Only when the market strengthens again is the best time to consider the altcoin rebound.

The core strategy at the current stage is to prioritize defense and safeguard the principal. Only by surviving can you relate to the subsequent waves of the market. Steady and methodical efforts will allow you to go further in a bull market.

The core of trading in a bull market: balancing planning and execution.

To achieve stable returns in a bull market, trading plans and execution are crucial. Position control and zero-cost operation are not mere talk, but practical strategies.

1. Zero-cost strategy: reduce risk and increase returns.

The concept of zero-cost refers to recovering the initial principal in a bull market, leaving the remaining positions as pure profit. For example, if we built a position in COMP at $71, and it peaked at $144, selling out the invested position doubles your input, and the remaining part is pure profit. In this case, no matter how the market fluctuates in the short term, you can remain calm because your principal has been safely withdrawn.

The advantages of this operation are:

If the market adjusts, you won't panic, nor will you feel anxious about losses.

If it rises, you can continue to profit; if it falls, since you have recovered your principal, it won't hurt your initial investment.

2. Quality altcoins: retain base positions to avoid 'selling too early'.

For some carefully selected quality altcoins, like FET at $1.3, DASH at $35, and PEPE at $115, unless there is significant negative news in the market, it is unlikely to see such low prices again. If you sell everything during the upward trend, you may miss out on subsequent gains.

Response strategies:

Sell in batches, keeping part of the base position, and strive to achieve zero-cost holding.

Position retention principle: learn to gradually reduce positions when in profit, rather than clearing all at once.

This trading system is not complicated; the difficulty lies in strict execution. Reasonable position planning can allow you to go further in a bull market.

3. Clearing strategy: step-by-step clearing to reduce decision-making errors.

When the market reaches a peak, clearing should be done step by step:

First reduce half of the position, then decide whether to clear the remaining position based on market trends.

Avoid clearing all at once, as no one can accurately predict the market's peak or bottom.

Observe market signals, such as frequent appearances of hot spots, altcoin speculation indices hitting new highs, etc.; these are all potential warnings of a top.

Macroeconomic data and market dynamics: stay sharp and adaptable.

This week, several key inflation data will be released at the macroeconomic level, directly affecting the direction of the Federal Reserve's monetary policy. Key data to focus on include:

Wednesday: Consumer Price Index (CPI)

Thursday: Producer Price Index (PPI)

The market generally expects inflation data to rise slightly, but this won't change the overall expectation of interest rate cuts in December. A continuous 72-hour decline is rare, so the possibility of a rebound in the short term is relatively high.

Other influencing factors:

Policy dynamics: for example, MSTR being included in the QQQ index, FASB accounting standards taking effect, and the Federal Reserve and Bank of Japan's interest rate meetings.

Political factors: Trump may assume office in January 2025, and it is rumored that he hopes to drive Bitcoin to $150,000, which may spur ETH and other altcoins to rise simultaneously.

Holiday factors: changes in market sentiment around Christmas.

Summary: Trading requires execution, and a bull market requires planning.

The market is ever-changing, and we need a keen market sense and strict execution. Profit in a bull market relies not only on accurate buying but also on good selling. After a trend is formed, the precision of the buying point is not the most critical; what's important is to grasp the selling point well to avoid failing to sell at the peak.

Only by truly taking action and executing properly can you laugh last in a bull market!
