So about once a day, I glance over the crypto news (mostly to entertain myself), but this time I stumbled on something rather gross. The quote goes "The bottom line is that traders should not try to anticipate trend reversals, or even worse, try to improve their average price while losing money." Now while, I semi agree with the second part, the first part of this, I do not agree with at all. The whole point of TA is to anticipate, spot signals, and confirm reversals, continuations, etc. If no one anticipated a trend change, there would be no one who made their fortunes on crypto. The fact that crypto is a holding game is a testament to the fact that you should anticipate trend changes, just don't trade on anticipation.
That being said, there is a TON of bearish news and sentiment flying around and usually, that is a good sign things will improve shortly. I agree that BTC has a long way to go to prove any bullish confirmation, and that there even might be another leg down. But if you know what you are doing, and you know how to defend a position, there is nothing wrong with taking a chance. I don't recommend any of you take on risk, especially if you are starting your investment journey. I always say build a robust portfolio first, then once you have the assets and the knowledge, you can take on more risk. Eventually, you will be at a point where you can make a calculated risk without too much worry because you will know how to manage that risk.
