BTC broke below 88000 USDT. Some see it as a risk, while others see it as an opportunity. In fact, there are no absolute opportunities or traps; the key is what type of investor you are. Different investors have varying risk tolerance, investment cycles, and capital amounts, so their response strategies should differ as well. In this article, I have tailored response plans based on different types of investors. Whether you are a novice, a short-term speculator, or a long-term value investor, you will find a strategy suitable for you in this article.
First, let's categorize investors: the first type is novices, who have just entered the crypto market, know little about it, have low risk tolerance, and relatively small capital; the second type is short-term speculators, who seek short-term gains, are sensitive to market fluctuations, and prefer to trade in swings; the third type is long-term value investors, who are optimistic about the long-term value of BTC, have long investment horizons, and have higher risk tolerance. Next, let's look at how these three types of investors should respond to BTC breaking below 88,000 USDT.
For novices, this drop is actually a "trap avoidance opportunity." My advice is to primarily observe and not blindly try to catch the bottom. Many novices see prices falling and think it is a good opportunity to buy the dip, not realizing it may be a trap. Novices often lose money because they do not have enough understanding of the market, do not know where the support and resistance levels are, and do not understand the reasons behind market fluctuations. In this case, blindly trying to catch the bottom can easily lead to being trapped. I recommend that novices spend time learning the basics of the crypto market, understand the fundamentals and technical aspects of BTC, and only invest after they have developed some judgment ability. Furthermore, novices must control their capital well and not invest all their savings in the crypto market; it is advisable to invest no more than 10% of their total assets.
For short-term speculators, this drop can be seen as a "swing opportunity," but it is important to manage risks. My advice is to use small positions to test the waters and set strict stop-loss orders. From a technical perspective, BTC has strong support around 85,000-86,000 USDT. If the price can drop to this range, a small position can be bought, with target prices set at 90,000-92,000 USDT. But it is essential to set a stop-loss, with the suggested stop-loss level below 84,000 USDT. If the price drops below the stop-loss level, exit decisively and do not linger. Additionally, short-term speculators should pay attention to changes in market liquidity; as holidays approach, market liquidity tends to decrease, which may increase price volatility. It is advisable to reduce operations before holidays to avoid unnecessary risks. Also, be cautious not to overly rely on leverage; while leverage can amplify profits, it can also magnify risks, and if you make a wrong judgment, you could lose everything.
For long-term value investors, this drop is hardly worth mentioning and may actually be a "buying opportunity." My advice is to buy the dips and hold firm. Long-term value investors are optimistic about the long-term value of BTC, such as its decentralization features, the development of its technical ecosystem, and the continuous inflow of institutional funds. Short-term price fluctuations are just minor episodes in their long-term investments. Historical data shows that every time BTC breaks key support levels, as long as the long-term trend does not change, it will eventually reach new highs. For example, in 2024, BTC broke below 60,000 USDT multiple times but later rose above 120,000 USDT. Of course, adding to positions should be strategic; do not put all your funds in at once, but rather add in batches, such as adding part at 88,000 USDT and another part at 85,000 USDT, which helps to average out costs. Additionally, long-term value investors should ignore short-term market sentiment and not be influenced by market panic, but instead maintain their investment beliefs.
Next, here are some key points: How to determine what type of investor you are? I provide three criteria. The first criterion is risk tolerance. If you can't sleep after losing 10%, you are likely a novice or conservative investor; if you can tolerate losses of 20% or more, you might be a short-term speculator or long-term value investor. The second criterion is investment horizon. If you hope to gain returns within a month, you are a short-term speculator; if you plan to hold for over a year, you are a long-term value investor. The third criterion is the amount of capital. If your investment does not exceed 10,000 yuan, you are likely a novice; if your investment is over 100,000 yuan, you might be a short-term speculator or long-term value investor. Of course, these criteria are not absolute, and you can judge based on your actual situation.
No matter what type of investor you are, remember one principle: risk control is always the top priority. Investing carries risks; proceed with caution. Do not overlook long-term risks for short-term gains, and do not give up long-term opportunities due to temporary panic.
