The $BTC chart has been hugging a $950 band for the past 24 hours – high $78,330, low $77,382.37 – while $ETH is trading in a tighter $37 range (high $2,467.93, low $2,430.45). When volatility compresses like this, a simple exposure rule can keep your portfolio from a single swing.
Start with a hard cap: no more than 5 % of total capital in any one position. On a $20,000 portfolio that’s $1,000. At $78,016 per $BTC that translates to roughly 0.0128 BTC; at $2,454 per $ETH it’s about 0.408 ETH. Size the trade so your stop‑loss fits the current range – a 1.5 % stop on $BTC is $1,170, comfortably inside the $950 band, leaving room for normal noise.
Next, calculate drawdown risk. A 20 % portfolio drawdown needs a 25 % upside to break even (1 / 0.8 – 1). Knowing that, you can decide whether a position’s expected move justifies the risk. If the math shows you’d need a 30 % gain to recover, you may lower the exposure limit or add a non‑correlated asset.
How do you adjust your max position size when the market squeezes into a narrow range?
