Portfolio managers who are currently trying to capture every small gain with unfounded strategies are making a mistake that could cost their clients dearly. At these price levels, a SPOT portfolio should be targeting the bull market, not a 10% move or any other short-term fluctuation.

It has become common to see people applying a strategy of buying when the price recovers above the 100-day moving average and selling when it falls below that average. The problem with doing this now is simple: prices are in a support zone for the vast majority of altcoins. Every time the 100-day moving average is lost, managers realize the loss. When the average is recovered, managers reopen the position. The result is a cycle of realizing unnecessary losses, with the client’s capital progressively shrinking. There is no real gain in this, only capital erosion and frustration.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with a SPOT portfolio being down. It’s not what any of us wanted, but the serious problem is realizing the loss in Spot and then getting back in at the same price with a SMALLER position size.

Many managers are in a state of mental overload, losing clarity and starting to manage clients’ Spot portfolios as if they were actively trading, in an attempt to “ease” the pressure. This is a huge mistake. It turns a WINNING accumulation portfolio into a series of trades that unnecessarily erode capital.

Large companies, traders, and large asset managers also hold positions that are TEMPORARILY at a loss. Those who entered between 2023 and now are down 60% or even 70% on several positions. They haven’t “lost” because they haven’t realized those losses. When the bull market begins, the recovery will be swift and will certainly end with substantial profits.

SPOT portfolio managers need to keep this in mind and remember how previous cycles played out. Anyone who has never experienced a BULL MARKET and believes the solution is to actively trade clients’ portfolios (THIS CLEARLY SHOULD NEVER BE DONE) as if it were collective trading should stop immediately and seek guidance from more experienced managers.

There are many SPOT investors who are in no hurry. They are willing to wait for the bull market and reap the rewards of that patience. It makes no sense to erode their holdings with flawed strategies that try to capture insignificant moves up or down. The logic of entering and exiting based on moving-average losses and recoveries simply cannot be applied responsibly at current price levels in the SPOT market.

Do the world’s largest asset managers base their management of ultra-wealthy clients’ money on moving-average losses and recoveries? THE ANSWER IS NO!!! Therefore, I see no reason why smaller managers should NOT OFFER their clients the same high-standard service and perspective.

The right path is clear: agree with the client on an upside target that is consistent with the cycle, monitor the market, and avoid realizing unnecessary losses in Spot because of failed strategies. It’s that simple.

Anyone who insists on turning a Spot portfolio into an actively traded one at this moment and at these prices is prioritizing relief from their own anxiety over the client’s capital. And that comes at a cost, which the client pays, so AVOID mistakes that could easily have been avoided.

We are in the longest bear market of ALL TIME, and everyone’s mental fatigue is understandable. But we will also have the strongest bull market of all time; one will make up for the other.

Stay Strong! ✊🏻💛
