If you’re a true believer in cryptocurrency, nothing feels weirder than being on the sidelines. So, instead of hitting the sidelines, I frequently move into Bitcoin, and then decide what I’m going to do next. If the market is headed for a minor pullback, I use the opportunity to position into some other coin I have thoroughly researched, so I can earn profits on the next leg of a market rally. Obviously, you can’t attempt to optimize everything, because it’s just not practical. What matters most is simply staying invested and knowing the difference between what seems to be a dip, and what’s likely the formation of a market downtrend. Also, if you see a consistent pattern of higher highs, higher lows, and lack of confirmation of a breakdown in the trend then it’s not worth moving into cash. Cash is only useful when you’re looking to avoid a massive 50% loss, but when you’re trying to over-optimize for pattern volatility of 10%-20% swings, and you’re not very good at trading the channel, then just avoid trading the upwards ascending channel. Usually, it’s a fool’s errand to attempt trading an ascending channel, because the resistance levels aren’t as obvious, the pullbacks aren’t that severe, and the break in trend doesn’t become obvious until you see a sequential pattern of selling that breaks the bottom channel with multiple confirmed days below the bottom channel. If you see that being the case then it makes sense to close out the position, and then wait a couple months, but usually it’s not the case. Uptrends don’t break down in a matter of days, but rather several weeks. When you’re caught in the moment (especially when trading), you often forget the timescale in which real trend formations, and trend breakdowns occur. Hence, I call it a fool’s errand to try and trade the ascending channel, but when it breaks it’s darn obvious, and while it won’t give you a perfectly timed exit at the top, it saves you some money, so you can build an even bigger position at much lower levels. The enemy is perfection, whereas good usage of major signals will keep you invested 80% of the time, and out of the markets 20% of the time. You want to be in the markets as much as possible, and only look to exit when it really affords you a chance to avoid major, major losses.
