While in the previous bull run I finally succeeded to book some profits, thus year I have started doing DCA once again. I did this few months ago when Bitcoin was still in lower $60k and planned to continue month after month. But as the crypto market got revived with BTC pushing towards $80k, I simply stopped my DCA. And I don't think it was a good decision. But now I am trying to rectify that. So let's see what I've decided and how I will move forward.
My DCA strategy was to invest a monthly sum in three assets preparing for the next cycle: Bitcoin, Ethereum and Near Protocol. I chose the top assets together with an underdog that showed some promise related to the AI narrative. As I know that a risky play, I've decided to use specific percentages of each one when buying: 70% Bitcoin, 20% Ethereum and 10% NEAR. I already missed two months without taking and action, so probably I will recoup that gap by investing a little bit more.
These are not all the assets from my portfolio, but are the ones that I have chosen for doing DCA. And I also have some thresholds until which I will be buying them. These are under $100k forBitcoin,$3k for Ethereum and $3 for Near. These should give ne some decent profits at the top of the next bulk run. My exit points that I am looking for will be $150k for Bitcoin, $5-6k for Ethereum and $6-10 for Near. I will start from the lower levels and sell as and if the prices will move higher. I need to stick with some exit criteria and not fall into the FOMO trap which left many not selling anything in bull runs (myself included in previous ones). Also as some thresholds are psychological to the market, I might cut few percentage out of them in order to ensure that I do exit my positions.
While I am doing DCA on these assets, I am not letting them gather dust, but rather trying to put them at work through staking or different other mechanisms. This way I accumulate a little bit more and lower the buy average price. That's one thing I've learned from the past and it become some sort of routine from my part. I like to think about it as some sort of compounding on which Warren Buffet the father, would be proud of. 😆
I wanted to share my DCA buying strategy with you and gather some opinionated thoughts from your side as well. I wonder if you are doing DCA as well and which are your preferred assets and what expectations do you have from them? In the same time I believe we are a long way from the next bull cycle which is expected to land somewhere in 2028 when also Bitcoin halving will happen. While this is only an assumption, it gives us time to prepare and accumulated looking for some nice profits. And probably you observed my profitability levels which start about 50% and that I think is not crazy at all. I learned not to be greedy, moderate invest and simply book profits and reinvest. And than repeat all over again! 😉
