Spot position management: a few reference levels for today
Scaling in is discipline, not a reason to get more aggressive as prices fall.
Spot trading isn't about gut feelings; it's about today's range.
BTC 75238 (-0.66%), 24h 73510-76200. ETH 2144 (-4.00%), ETH/BTC 0.0285.
ETH is down 4.00% over 24h, weaker than BTC at -0.66%, with an exchange rate of 0.0285. Funds are shifting into BTC; wait and see before taking positions in altcoins.
Limit orders:
- First tranche: 74,335-74,787; buy only one-third of the intended position
- If 73,884 breaks, stop; don't add the second tranche
- If price gets above 75,840, reassess; even then, add only one tranche
For spot, just wait for a pullback to the levels; don't try to guess what U.S. stocks will do. Reassess the upside only after price gets above 76200; until then, leave the limit orders unchanged.
Data: Binance spot 24h / Binance USDⓈ-M / Yahoo daily (5-day change) / altme_fng / mempool_fees / defillama_chains / coingecko_trending. Don't fill in missing numbers.

Useful note: OI is the notional value of open positions, not trading volume.
Idea: The strongest meme coin didn't outperform BTC by 2%: treat it as volatility, not a sector.
