Playing the Crypto Long Game

Validated Project

Crypto markets can feel like a wild roller coaster. Prices swing up and down with every rumor, and it’s easy to panic. But if you zoom out and play the long game, the picture gets calmer. Markets tend to run in cycles – phases of low prices (accumulation), big upswings (bull runs), and downturns (bears). By using strategies like Dollar-Cost Averaging (DCA) and holding (HODLing) while keeping assets secure, you position yourself for crypto’s long-term gains​. Over months or years, patient investors often find that steady accumulation beats frantic trading.

Crypto investing isn’t about chasing every pump or timing the next big jump. Instead, think like a slow-and-steady investor: one who buys regularly (Dollar-Cost Averaging) and holds through volatility​. DCA smooths out the ride – you invest the same fixed amount each month, automatically buying more when prices dip and less when they peak. Over time this builds a strong position without the stress of market timing. In fact, data shows HODLers often outperform frequent traders. For example, buying Bitcoin at ~$5.5K in 2020 and holding to its 2025 peak yielded over +1800%, whereas studies find about 95% of day-traders lose money​. Managing risk is crucial too: diversify across a few strong coins and never invest more than you can afford to lose​.

  • The Bank of Japan is reportedly planning further interest rate hikes; some officials believe the neutral interest rate will be higher than 1%.

    according to insiders, Bank of Japan officials believe that before the current rate hike cycle ends, interest rates are likely to rise above 0.75%, indicating that there may be more rate hikes after next week's increase. These insiders said that officials believe that even if rates rise to 0.75%, the Bank of Japan has not yet reached the neutral interest rate level. Some officials already consider 1% to still be below the neutral interest rate level. Insiders stated that even if the Bank of Japan updates its neutral rate estimates based on the latest data, it currently does not believe that this range will significantly narrow. Currently, the Bank of Japan's estimate for the nominal neutral interest rate range is about 1% to 2.5%. Insiders said that Bank of Japan officials also believe there may be errors in the upper and lower limits of this range itself. (Golden Ten)

    HSBC Securities predicts the Federal Reserve will maintain interest rates stable at the 3.5%-3.75% range set on Wednesday for the next two years. Previously, Federal Reserve policymakers lowered rates by 25 basis points with a split vote. The institution's U.S. economist Ryan Wang pointed out in a report on December 10 that Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell was "open to the question of whether and when to further cut rates at next year's FOMC press conference." "We believe the FOMC will keep the federal funds rate target range unchanged at 3.50%-3.75% throughout 2026 and 2027, but as the economy evolves, as in the past, it is always necessary to pay close attention to the significant two-way risks facing this outlook."
