The impact of Japan's interest rate hike on the cryptocurrency market and retail investor strategies has garnered widespread attention regarding the expected shifts post-rate hike. If the negative sentiment diminishes and transforms into a positive outlook, it may provide momentum for Bitcoin to break through previous highs. For retail investors, holding Bitcoin long-term in a volatile market environment is no easy task, as frequent trading and emotional decision-making often lead to a loss of assets.
The investment outcomes for retail investors are typically influenced by multiple factors and are not solely determined by individual actions or market opinion leaders. In such an environment, a sustainable strategy may involve: allocating the majority of funds (e.g., over 90%) to regular, fixed-amount investments in Bitcoin, avoiding frequent buying and selling due to short-term fluctuations, while also appropriately allocating a portion to Ethereum. Additionally, a small amount of funds (no more than 10%) could be used to experiment with altcoin trading, but its positioning should be clear—altcoins are better suited for tactical allocations, aimed at achieving excess returns before converting to core assets like Bitcoin or Ethereum, rather than holding long-term.
In investing, discipline is more important than prediction. Maintaining core assets, moderately participating in market hotspots, and gradually accumulating Bitcoin positions may be a viable path for retail investors to maintain holdings and achieve long-term growth in a volatile market.
