Based on my experience, if you want to make big money in the crypto market, you need to set the tone for the entire year right at the beginning, right after the Spring Festival when the new year starts. Take last year as an example—if you were firmly bullish at the start of the year, then by focusing on the top coins in the market and decisively increasing your positions during every dip, you’d likely have doubled your returns or even achieved higher gains by year-end. What about this year? Will it be a year of one-sided declines? If you set the tone as bearish for the year, then every time there’s a big rebound or the sentiment warms up, you’d go all-in on shorting. As long as your directional judgment is correct, you can still make big money. The worst scenario is being unclear about the overall trend for the year—afraid of missing rebounds when prices drop, and worried about further declines when prices rise. Hesitating and getting pulled back and forth will only leave you with mediocre returns in the end.
