Lately, I’ve been focusing on a simple strategy instead of overcomplicating trades with too many indicators. The market has been moving fast, especially with Bitcoin holding strong around major support levels, so patience has become more important than trying to catch every move.
What I usually do is follow the overall trend first. If BTC is staying above key moving averages and the market structure still looks bullish, I avoid shorting and mainly look for buy opportunities. But instead of entering during a pump, I wait for the market to pull back a little and calm down. Most of the time, better entries come after the excitement fades.
I also pay close attention to volume. When price pulls back to support and buyers start stepping in again with stronger volume, that’s usually where I become interested in entering a trade. I keep my stop loss tight because protecting capital matters more than being right on every trade.
One thing I learned from trading crypto is that emotional entries destroy accounts faster than bad analysis. The market always gives another opportunity, so there’s no need to rush into every candle. Right now, discipline and risk management are working better for me than aggressive trading.
