Stop Gambling and Start Trading: The 3 Rules for May 2026
The situation is tricky now. The Bank of Japan is thinking of raising interest rates. Theres a change in the US Feds leadership. This makes trading very risky. Most traders will lose money this month because they let their feelings guide their trades not facts.
To survive the ups and downs of May you need a plan. Don't waste time looking for gains in comments. Instead check the liquidity charts.
Here are my top rules:
* Preserve Your $USDT : Cash is a safety net. Keeping 30% in stablecoins helps you buy when others are selling at a loss.
* Follow the Volatility Index: The VIX is around 18. When its high trade amounts.
* Ignore the Noise: If a coin is trending on Twitter it's probably too late.
My plan is to buy assets, like BNB and XRP when prices are low and wait for the Japanese yens volatility to calm down before trading mid-cap coins.
