Amid the ongoing evolution of the trade landscape in the United States, the volatility in the crypto market is also intensifying. Many people ask how to survive longer; my answer is simple—don't follow the hype of trading contracts, don't chase after altcoins. In this market, survival always comes first.

Here's a steady spot trading strategy for your reference. First, choose the right coins; consider entering only when the daily MACD shows a golden cross at the zero line, and don't listen to rumors. During the holding phase, patience is key; focus on the 20-day moving average—if it stays above, keep holding; if it falls below, it's time to exit.

Entering the market requires volume-price coordination; breakouts without supporting trading volume are often trap setups for false signals. After experiencing a few losses, you'll understand this. As for taking profits, there's no room for greed: sell half when gains reach 40%, reduce another 30% when gains hit 80%, and if the price breaks below the moving average, exit all positions immediately.

A heartfelt final word—missing out on opportunities isn't scary; what's truly frightening is holding on stubbornly, because that can wipe out all the profits you've made before, or even lead to worse losses. Mainstream coins like BTC are still worth long-term attention; market opportunities always favor those with patience.

That's so true, holding on stubbornly is really a killer. I previously lost out on gains of two BTC just because I couldn't bear to cut my losses... --- The MACD golden cross strategy is indeed effective, much more reliable than blindly listening to group rumors, but it's hard to implement. --- The worst are those breakouts without volume; they always catch people off guard. Now I prefer to stay on the sidelines rather than chase false signals. --- Living long > making quick money, this phrase must be engraved in your mind, really. --- Contracts kill, copycats impoverish—these are bloody lessons. --- I've been watching the 20-day moving average support level for a long time; it's indeed reliable, much better than guesswork. --- Missing out on a move means you can still make money later; holding on stubbornly will just wipe you out. That's how cruel reality is. --- Greedy people have long been out of the game; what's left are those with disciplined take-profit strategies.

Hard handling can really make people doubt life, I've seen too many of these --- That MACD golden cross is already outdated, does anyone still use it --- You're right, missing out is the biggest regret; being trapped is a nightmare --- When the moving average breaks, just clear your position. This move is crucial in a bear market --- Sell half at 40%, it sounds conservative but it really helps you survive longer --- The combination of volume and price really hits the point; rising without volume is just a trap --- Contracts are just a cash machine for big players; I advise everyone not to play with them --- Long-term holding of BTC is really the right move; other coins are just gambling --- A steady spot trading strategy, but it's always easy to get greedy in practice --- Cut your position when the price breaks below the moving average, it's easier said than done, everyone

Oh my, another MACD golden cross. I've been listening to this theory for three years, but the key is that it's really hard to execute. The word "hard to hold" really hit home. I'm that kind of person who stubbornly holds on, and I end up losing even what I made after throwing it all up. This spot trading strategy is solid and stable, but the returns are slow to the point of being frustrating. Sometimes I regret not taking a gamble. Breaking the 20-day moving average and then running is actually a pretty good logic, much better than being trapped in contracts. By the way, does the changing trade landscape really have such a big impact on the crypto world, or is it mainly just the Fed's movements? Taking profit at 40% and reducing positions is quite restrained. I usually can't hold out that long before I want to sell. Every day I say I won't follow the trend, but in the end, I still follow it. Maybe that's just fate. People with patience do make money, but most people simply can't wait that long, including me.

Really, enduring that moment was a blood and tears lesson. --- Break the 20-day moving average and run; this is the most critical point, or you'll really give it all back. --- Hey, no, you guys say that a simple MACD zero-line golden cross, so why are some still losing money? --- Missing out is painful but still alive; enduring it directly leads to loss. This logic makes sense. --- I've completely given up on futures; sticking to spot trading is more reliable, even if the gains are slow. --- Reducing half the position at 40% profit—how strong must that mentality be? I would definitely be greedy... --- Breakouts with volume-price mismatch are just to cut the leeks; I've seen it too many times. --- BTC is fine in the long term, but I'm worried about another black swan in the short term. --- In plain terms, those who can cut losses survive; those who endure to the end are zero.

Yeah, that's right. Contracts are just harvesters; spot trading is the real way to survive. Bro, I agree with the 20-day moving average logic. It's just that too many people get stuck on the words "wait a bit longer." Missing out isn't really a big deal; enduring the pain is the real problem, that hits home. However, when the MACD forms a golden cross and enters the market... it still depends on the specific stock; you can't apply it rigidly. Reducing half of your position at 40%? That's a bit conservative, but you can only make money if you're alive to catch the next wave. That logic makes sense. Holding BTC long-term is fine; I'm just worried that big V influencers keep shouting about altcoins every day, and newbies follow suit, ending up in someone else's pocket. Breakouts without volume-price support are obvious; the problem is when greed blinds your eyes. Actually, it's just two words—stop loss. It's more important than any technical indicator, but 90% of people can't do it.
