How to make smart moves in a down market
Analysts have lots of hard data they use to predict market performance =E2=
=80=94=C2=A0but=20
they also have to factor in a vibe check known as =E2=80=9Cmarket sentiment=
,=E2=80=9D which=20
refers to everything from the psychology of participants to the tenor of ne=
ws=20
coverage. During extended bull runs, for instance, investors often assume g=
ains=20
are inevitable. But during down cycles =E2=80=94 like the current one, with=
BTC down=20
40% for the year =E2=80=94 an equally unfounded degree of pessimism can set=
in. While=20
nobody knows how long a down cycle might last, there are lots of potentiall=
y=20
smart moves you can consider to set yourself up for the next bull run. Let=
=E2=80=99s=20
take a look at a few.
* Instead of trying to time the market, consider dollar-cost averaging=20
<https://www.coinbase.com/learn/tips-and-tutorials/dollar-cost-averaging> (=
DCA),
in which you buy a smaller amount of an asset every week or month no matter=
=20
what prices are doing. This is a smart strategy if you believe that crypto=
=20
prices will generally trend upward over a longer time horizon. Although DCA=
is=20
a popular way to buy crypto, traditional investors have been using this=20
strategy for decades to weather stock market volatility. Anyone with a Coin=
