May Day holiday, but the market does not take a break.
These past two days, the market has been quite interesting:
On one side, sentiment is warming up, and funds are starting to test the waters for a return; on the other side, trading volume has not fully caught up, indicating that most people are still on the sidelines.
To put it simply, a few key points:
1️⃣ A stable Bitcoin is the biggest positive, don’t call it a bull market just because it rises, and don’t panic just because it falls
2️⃣ The rotation in altcoins is beginning to show signs, but its sustainability still needs to be verified
3️⃣ Liquidity tends to be weaker during holidays, which can amplify volatility, so avoid chasing highs
My own strategy is very simple:
✔️ Avoid heavy positions when chasing gains
✔️ Take profits gradually when in profit
✔️ Save some bullets for truly certain opportunities
The market has never lacked opportunities; what’s missing is patience and execution.
Wishing everyone a happy May Day, and may your accounts stay in the green 📈
