1. Scaling Strategies (Management of Inputs and Outputs)
Scaling is the process of adjusting your positions gradually to maximize profits while limiting risk.
A. Scaling In (Entrées progressives)
This strategy is ideal if you want to enter a position gradually to reduce your initial risk exposure.
1. Use key areas:
Enter in multiple steps when price hits support areas or after a confirmed resistance breakout.
Example :
1st entry: 25% of the capital at 0.3450 USDT (support).
2nd entry: 50% of the capital if the price reaches 0.3400 USDT.
3rd Entry: 25% if price corrects towards 0.3300 USDT.
2. Advantages:
Reducing the impact of short-term volatility.
You benefit from lower price levels if the market corrects.
3. Indicators to optimize scaling in:
RSI: Entry if RSI falls into oversold zone (<30).
Volumes: Confirm entry if volumes increase near support areas.
B. Scaling Out (Sorties progressives)
Sell your position in multiple steps to maximize your profits in an uptrend while locking in some of the gains.
1. Sell by resistance levels:
Sell 50% of your position at 0.3650 USDT (first resistance).
Sell 25% at 0.3800 USDT.
Save the remaining 25% for higher levels (0.4000 USDT and above).
2. Trailing Stop to secure profits:
Place a trailing stop (eg -5% or -7%) when price breaks through resistance, to capture profits if the market reverses.
3. Advantages:
Reduced risk of losing your winnings.
You maximize profits if the price continues to rise.
2. Hold Strategies (Long Term Investment)
Holding involves maintaining your positions over a long period (weeks, months, or even years), based on a strong conviction in the project.
A. Stratégie "Buy and Hold"
Buy USUAL on major supports and hold it without worrying about short term fluctuations.
1. Ideal starters:
Buy on deep corrections (eg. 0.3300 - 0.3400 USDT areas).
Wait for price to touch confirmed supports.
2. Long-term targets:
Based on technical analysis, you can target levels like 0.5000 USDT or higher if the project continues to grow.
3. Risk management:
Set a Stop-Loss based on your tolerance (eg below 0.3000 USDT if this zone is broken).
Diversify your positions so as not to be overexposed to a single asset.
4. Advantages:
Reducing the emotional impact of daily fluctuations.
You benefit from major uptrends.
B. Hold with Reinforcement (Active Accumulation)
Gradually accumulate tokens at strategic levels to maximize your holdings.
1. When to accumulate:
Use a regular purchasing plan (Dollar Cost Averaging - DCA), purchasing every week or month regardless of the price.
Buy more on deep corrections (eg. prices near 0.3000 - 0.3300 USDT).
2. Why strengthen:
If the project fundamentals remain strong (increasing TVL, token adoption), strengthen your position.
Watch for major announcements or events that could boost demand.
C. Hold and Staking (if available)
If Usual offers a staking mechanism, you can maximize your returns by "locking" your tokens.
1. APY the strike:
With a projected 22% APY (based on previous data), staking can provide passive returns while holding your positions.
2. Management:
Staking 50% of your tokens to secure returns.
Keep 50% in cash to take advantage of market movements.
3. Advantages:
Generate passive income while maintaining your position.
Reduction of emotional pressure due to volatility.
3. General recommendations:
Avoid all or nothing: Combine scaling and holding to maximize your profits while limiting risks.
Watch the fundamentals: Adopt a hold strategy only if the project remains strong over the long term.
Use tools: Integrate price alerts and Stop-Losses to secure your profits.
