Bull markets typically last from 6 months to 1 year, while bear markets usually last from 1 to 2 years. A complete bull-bear cycle is about 3 to 4 years.
Seizing every bull market to earn at least over 50% returns is enough to surpass most traditional investments, stocks, and funds. This 50%+ return is almost certain and beyond doubt.
1. Only position during bear markets
The most important thing is to be patient and try to start positioning at the bottom of a bear market (although it is very difficult to accurately buy at the true bottom). A simple criterion for determining the bottom of a bear market is: the market loses interest in Bitcoin, the crypto atmosphere is quiet, and the market is in a period of silence. This phase may last for 1 year or even longer, and buying can be done multiple times at intervals.
2. Mainstream coins
BTC and ETH will always be the leaders in the crypto space, buying during a bear market is definitely a good choice. Although they may not show exponential growth, buying and holding them from a bear market to a bull market can at least yield over 50% gains. For large funds, this is the first choice.
In addition to mainstream coins, consider exchange platform coins (like BNB), strong foundational chains (like SOL, AVAX), excellent infrastructure coins (like MATIC), and coins with strong consensus (like DOGE, SHIB, RATS, PEPE).
Heavy investment strategy
Heavy investments should definitely focus on mainstream coins and absolutely avoid heavy investments in altcoins. The essence of altcoins is “cutting leeks” (making easy money off inexperienced investors), and every bull market sees a surge of altcoins. These altcoins that rise wildly in one bull market may fall into complete silence in the next bull market, or even be replaced by new altcoins.
Without insider information and channels, it is nearly impossible to accurately intervene before an altcoin explodes. Many times we see an altcoin surge and only then realize that such a coin exists; by that time, it is often too late to follow up. Even if luck is on your side, it might rise again, but in most cases, it will see a fluctuating decline.
The volatility of altcoins is too great, making it difficult for ordinary investors to endure. Whether up or down, it is hard to hold on. Typically, investors might make a little profit, but it is also easy to incur significant losses. In the end, when it is all added up, it often results in a loss.
