Here are 3 practical “rules” for $BTC in a bear market (risk-first, survival mode):
1. Protect cash flow and manage risk first
Use position sizing (don’t go all-in).
Set invalidation points (where you’re clearly wrong) and cut losses early.
Keep a cash buffer (often USDT) so you’re not forced to sell $BTC at bad prices.
2. Assume rallies can be traps until trend truly changes
In bear markets, BTC often makes sharp bounce rallies that fade (lower highs).
Prefer buying in tranches (DCA) instead of trying to nail the exact bottom.
Treat leverage as optional—most bear-market blowups come from over-leverage.
3. Focus on key levels + time, not predictions
Have a plan for: If $BTC breaks support → reduce risk; if it reclaims and holds key resistance → add slowly.
Track higher-timeframe structure (weekly/daily), not minute-to-minute noise.
Measure success by staying in the game, not “calling the bottom.”
If you tell me whether you’re spot-only or you also use futures, I can tailor these into a simple Binance-ready plan (entries, risk limits, and what to do on bounces).
Spot-only plan (DCA + levels)
Futures plan (low leverage + strict stops)
