There is a basic fact in the cryptocurrency world: except for a few currencies that may move independently, the fluctuations of most other currencies will follow Bitcoin.

Given this, directly trading Bitcoin will have higher certainty, and it is also easier to analyze.

If you want to trade altcoins, you must follow the direction of Bitcoin, that is:

When Bitcoin rises, look for opportunities to go long on altcoins.

When Bitcoin falls, look for opportunities to go short on altcoins.

When Bitcoin is volatile, stay out of the market and wait.

Of course, during certain special periods, it may also be an excellent opportunity to go long when Bitcoin is falling or during volatility (altcoin season).

The key is to grasp the pulse of the market. Before each trade, carefully think it through, feel the market's fluctuations, and determine the market's atmosphere and sentiment.

A good entry position needs to be matched with a good entry timing.
