Stop trying to time the markets. We don't know if it's going to go up or down. If someone says they know, they're lying. If they knew, they'd be making a lot of money with it, they wouldn't be trying to convince you that they know. Bitcoin is a volatile, unpredictable asset. With the short-term thinking of trying to time your buys to the market, you're never going to get anywhere. There's no free money to be made. If you're serious about bitcoin, consider educating yourself and look into a more forward-thinking strategy like DCA. If you're just trying to make a quick buck, get out of here. Bitcoin is not for you.

Each day the trading session is divided into the time sessions of various countries like starting with Japan China European US and so on and henceforth. An app based website called Velo depicts these time zones clearly and trading volumes across various platforms. I/O indicators, Volume curve metrics and Calls and puts across various exchanges Deribit tells a lot about the direction of the movement of bitcoin asset. Social media signals sometimes help to trade this asset class as well but that is highly detrimental in the long term perspective.

 This is not financial advice.
This post have a mixture of trading bitcoin and holding bitcoin. Initially I thought the topic should have been posted in the trading discussion thread but reading through the entire post I realized you also support long term hodl which somehow differ from the topic. I also prefer long term hodl because that is where the real profit is. Like you said, the DCA method one nice strategy that helps in running a bitcoin portfolio because of the chance it gives the investor to start with any small amount and be consistent with it. In other words, it simplifies bitcoin accumulation such that the investor is not eager to sell but more conscious of buying.
