It’s clear now that the crypto market is beginning to consolidate, showing brief signs of an incoming reversal. It’s almost impossible to judge exactly where the bottom is going to be (or was) and attempting to has lost most investors and traders a lot of money recently. Buying into alt coins right now is risky business — and trying to pinpoint a solid entry price for medium to long term HODLs is even riskier.. or is it? Let me show you how I’ve slowly accumulated alt coins throughout this bear market for free.

Let’s look at one of a few charts that I had posted in my Discord group and on Twitter showing BAT/BTC on Binance:

BAT/BTC sitting within my charted accumulation zone.

Let’s say you accumulated 1 BTC worth of BAT at price of 2187 sats, or ~45,725 BAT. As time went on, your trade became profitable.. let’s pretend that you decided to HODL until right now (for the sake of the article).

BAT/BTC rose ~34% from your buy in at 2187 sats.

You think now is a good time to sell given BTC spiked over 13% in one hour (or whatever reasons you have). Instead of selling the entire order and collecting your ~34% profit in BTC, you sell your initial investment of 1 BTC worth of BAT at the current market price, or ~34,037 BAT. From your initial buy in of 45,725 BAT and your recent sell of 34,037 BAT, you’d have 11,688 of “free” BAT to HODL for the next bull run.

Sell enough BAT to cover your 1 BTC investment, keeping the extra coins as “free coins” for the next bull run.

You could also split your sell orders up, taking half of the 34% profit in BTC and keeping the other half in BAT. How you play with your sells is up to you (and how much you trust an alt coin to rise during a bull run). In my point of view, BAT was down 67% from it’s all-time high from my entry price of 2187. If I HODL the 11,688 BAT until the next bull run and we see prices reach near the all-time high (or more) again, my .34 BTC profit that I decided to keep in BAT would be worth almost .8 BTC. Well worth it in my opinion.

Keeping those free coins pays off big during a time of surging prices — a little more then 2x!

Lastly, take your 1 BTC and move onto the next chart. Keep doing this over and over. Throughout the bear market, I have accumulated many different alt coins in varying amounts, all through trading.. I have never once bought into a coin without pulling at least my initial investment out. Having a diversified wallet heading into a bull market is every traders dream — let’s take it one step further and fill it with free coins instead (so we don’t have to worry about the best entry price). Don’t forget to move your HODLs into cold storage; security is number one, and if you’re waiting for all-time highs, there is no rush to keep them on an exchange!
