Predicting tops and bottoms is very difficult especially in Crypto. Just when you think you think you caught a bottom btc shoots higher and vice versa on the bottoms. It’s better too Use TA and trade within certain parameters. Take small positions that allow you to dollar cost average if things don’t go your way as many times it won’t.
In my opinion, short-term traders should always remember to have parts of their trading fund invested long-term just in case price "shoots higher" above their expectations.
The longterm investment will likely comfort a trader and reduce regrets whenever price shoots up beyond his/her expectation.
I would continue buying the significant dips and never bother myself too much with a bull run because my long-term fund is still benefitting from it(the bull run)
