The crypto market is showing its first signs of life after last week's brutal selloff, with Bitcoin bouncing from $80,000 to $87,000. Our strategy? Buying the dip. Here's why we're increasing our positions in BTC and ETH despite ongoing market turbulence, and how you can navigate these volatile waters.
Is the crypto winter thawing? Current market dynamics explained
Bitcoin (BTC) and ethereum (ETH) have staged modest recoveries from their recent lows, gaining 8% and 10% respectively since Friday. This comes as dovish Fed commentary provided temporary relief across risk assets. According to TradingView data, the probability of a Fed rate cut now stands at 82% following mixed US economic data. However, don't break out the champagne just yet - the crypto market remains in precarious territory.

How our $100K portfolio is positioned right now
We're keeping things simple and cautious. Our model portfolio currently holds just two coins: Bitcoin (60% allocation) and Ethereum (20%), with the remaining 20% parked in Tether (USDT) as dry powder. This conservative approach has limited our downside during recent volatility, leaving us with a modest 0.33% gain year-to-date.
| Asset | Allocation | Current Price |
|---|---|---|
| Bitcoin (BTC) | 60% | $87,000 |
| Ethereum (ETH) | 20% | $2,900 |
| Tether (USDT) | 20% | $1.00 |
Why we bought more BTC and ETH this week
Simple math - when quality assets go on sale, you stock up. We added to both our bitcoin and Ethereum positions at what we believe are attractive levels (specific entry points available in our portfolio tracker). For those looking to mirror these moves, platforms like BTCC and Coinbase offer easy access - with Coinbase currently running a €30 welcome bonus for new users.
How our strategy protected us during the crash
Our high cash position (20% in USDT) acted like a financial airbag during the recent downturn. By averaging down our BTC and ETH cost basis through strategic buying, we've positioned ourselves for stronger returns when the market eventually turns. As the old trading adage goes: "It's not about timing the market, but time in the market."
Deep dive: Our technical take on key positions
Currently hovering around $87k, BTC shows tentative signs of stabilization after defending the crucial $80k support. Key resistance levels to watch: $89,189 and $91,436. The 4-hour RSI at 45-55 suggests neutral momentum.
ETH bulls successfully defended $2,637 and pushed back above $2,879. The next major test comes at $3,035 resistance, with support now established at $2,770.
Our stablecoin SAFE haven remains pegged to the dollar - boring but essential in volatile markets.
Our game plan: Patience pays in uncertain markets
We're maintaining our 20% cash position because frankly, this rally feels shaky. Recent Bitcoin ETF outflows and the Coinbase Premium Index suggest institutional investors remain cautious ahead of the Fed's rate decision. Until we see clearer signals, we'll keep our powder dry while selectively adding to positions at attractive levels.
Key events that could move markets this week
With Thanksgiving shortening the US trading week, all eyes turn to Wednesday's PCE inflation data and Q3 GDP estimates. These releases could spark fresh volatility - so buckle up. Personally, I'll be watching the 2.8% PCE print consensus like a hawk while trying not to burn the turkey.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is now really a good time to buy Bitcoin?
In our view, yes - if you have a long-term horizon. Current prices offer attractive entry points compared to all-time highs, though short-term volatility remains likely.
Why hold so much cash (USDT)?
Cash gives us flexibility to capitalize on further dips. In crypto winters, liquidity is king.
What's your ETH price target?
We're watching the $3,035 resistance level closely. A clean break above could signal momentum shifting bullish.
