How do you decide on a buy price target?

[kotajikikox]

First of all your choice about OPtimism and Immutable is good choice in my opinion layer 2 is on the rise nowadays but the bitcoin price is not good making this is not the good moment.

Im gonna share my opinion though the price of bitcoin now is testing 26K support or 100 EMA and it seems the price reject at that point. When bitcoin price reject for couple of days and show bullish I think that is the right call to buy altcoin like Optimism.



If you look at the chart the yellow line is previously a resistance and now turning into a major support although is not there yet. you need to be carefully since the price already broke the 200 EMA and I would say the good entry point for OP is $1.2 and take profit on $2

thanks for the share here budz , will check this position from here .

I've been interested in adding Optimism and ImmutableX to my portfolio but their price has been inflated after big run ups.

Now they are both in freefall and I'm considering an entry point.

How do you decide where to take the plunge?  A certain %drop from the top or a %above bottom?

Or do you just look at previous levels as the traders always mention, Optimism is getting close to some previous tops at $1.3 for example?

Or do you get buy targets from another source?

If you really trust and believe about these project then there is nothing to consider but buying now as the price are dumping , though this is not my kind as I will never buy a coin that already reached its top for many reason.
and one of those are I have seen many of that like and losses happened, you must learn how to get the timing in buying before the pump , not unless you are willing to keep holding long if cases that the value dumped after you bought them.

I usually accumulate when the coin has reached its most decrease that is when it hardly decrease anymore and there are price swings frequently occuring i think that's like the right time to buy, but then again seeking the very bottom is really hard, usually if things go wrong with investing at the bottom like it further got some correction just wait it out.

and when was that? how to detect that the coin already dropped in its lowest?
any Idea mate so we can rely and try doing it in general mean?

My decision depends on quite a lot of things, the first would be the use case of the coin itself, second would be the developing team, next would be the partners of the project, then community supporting the project and then the whole market season or movement. After considering those, that is when I move to the charts and indicators. And if everything looks well enough for my standards and risk tolerance, then I jump in. The amount I put in would also depend on how good the risk-reward ratio looks to me in longer time frames. That's just for investing for mid to long-term holding. For short term trading and leverage trading, I basically do the same but much more focused on the market season, charts and indicators that are based on shorter time frames and lastly community sentiments towards the target coin (never go against the waves).

Targets from other sources helps too. But only if you already have ample experience in trading and are well aware of what you are doing. If you take in targets from other sources as they are without confirming or making changes that fits well to your trading style and strategies, then you are better off not considering other sources for your trades and instead focus on learning the basics and gaining more experience by taking things slow and trading smaller amounts. Also, opt for well reputed altcoins or bitcoin first.

if you trust the coins mentioned then why not take the advantage buying ?

Or do you just look at previous levels as the traders always mention, Optimism is getting close to some previous tops at $1.3 for example?

Or do you get buy targets from another source?

I only ask for some advise over groups that I have and yes , those are my sources and the price targets.

But it's best not to buy an all-in with $10 right away because if the price keeps dropping, you can't buy it anymore. Usually, I'll place a buy order 3 or 5 down the line from the buy order and wait for it to fill. And if the price continues to decrease after that, I will place a buy order on the bottom 5 rows again.

until when this will be given? 10$ might be high to buy now but what if the price grows overnight then the chance of buying will be increase prices also .

As I used to enter it depends on many factors such as market movements, the trend that bitcoin is showing and its status in the short term or long term, and I also only add one price. How much is expected and suitable to start buying. I don't like how a lot of people are so sure that a target price can start because this market is so volatile we should set a long or short path against the desired profit we can expect. DCA has always been an appropriate solution and I think it fits the current market landscape where prices have fallen a lot from the ATH they have generated, of course for good coins over time. they will grow again on their trend, and what you need to do is research whether the project can afford to survive or adapt in this market over time, or simply until you see the benefits profits from them.

If the price grows overnight, it is an advantage for us because we can sell it at a high price and don't have to buy at a low price or hold it for too long.

And that's just an example that I usually use, but maybe the usage also depends on the situation and conditions that occur in the market. If you can analyze it better, you will know whether to place another buy order at a lower price or simply place a single buy order, as I showed you. It all depends on your experience and expertise in analyzing it.

I think that looking for the lowest target to determine buy is always a wrong decision to enter, we should ignore situations where we think it will happen. Instead develop a specific clear strategy to approach market volatility, in the current period the market is in a bad cycle to invest and expect profits to grow rapidly, but I can see great opportunity if I look long term. An appropriate time here is when the market is gloomy and there is not much money pouring in to promote development, if your finances can be maintained and met with many balance criteria in the future. life you can buy and keep them in the long run, rather DCA would make sense during this period, even if the price goes up, DCA will also bring positive returns on the investment, and in my experience it's risky because when you are in the latter part of the bull cycle then you will lose time as well as money. So I think this is a good time to start thinking about the next crypto bull market.

[SirLancelot]

The best strategy is to wait for btc correction which will force many over confidence buyers to sell some coins and almost all altcoins will be down. now this is best opportunity to take entry but not use all fund because another btc down will drop altcoins more. I am just trading in gainers for 5 Minute trade which is high risky and i will not recommend to any one but i think buying any coin in Fomo is worst buying because if it's price down from here then tou have to wait long for it's price to be rise back to this stage

Those who buy from gainers are mainly those who FOMO, I don't know how one can be profitable in that, though I know it sometimes works out because when a coin is going up, you might see it before it has already reached the top and if you buy immediately and sell before it dips, you will be in profit but as you said, it is very risky.

I tried to do the same once with a token that was going straight up, I thought I can make use of the volatility and get some dollars and exit before it dips, and as soon as I bought, it started dipping right from that point and I lost a lot of money in that trade.

[Adbitco]

If you had already traded and some make previous profits why not ignore it for a while because I still believe you still witness more down fall instead
of entering the trade at a wrong spot. Why don't you think of placing some orders in 3 place with each on the lower prices maybe if the coin drops below the previous it trigers as your orders are being placed accordingly. I think this would be the best solutions since you don't really know were to direct your shoots and believe this time it will have a directions.

[Mpamaegbu]

Now they are both in freefall and I'm considering an entry point.

To avoid catching a falling knife, the first thing you or anyone who's interested in a project that's dumping should do is to quickly rush to any social media outlet of the project to find out why the dump is happening and if there's any internal scruples. You can't miss this if there's anything wrong going on. Someone on the media channel is bound to expose it. Don't rush to buy any coin because you feel the price has depreciated. Find out why first.

How do you decide where to take the plunge?  A certain %drop from the top or a %above bottom?

I do random buying using the DCA technique.

but this is not an easy task mate because we have to to this >>

 -First = you must have a big trust in that currency ,
  
 -Second = you must be a risk taker
  
 -Third = you must have to get the proper timing


those qualities and part must take place before you finally earn and gather that target price of buying and of course selling .

[Reatim]

but what he wanted to learn is the target price in which the best timing to enter .

Im gonna share my opinion though the price of bitcoin now is testing 26K support or 100 EMA and it seems the price reject at that point. When bitcoin price reject for couple of days and show bullish I think that is the right call to buy altcoin like Optimism.

Hope that those coins will truly follow the movement of bitcoin
for OP to gather what he is targeting to earn.
 

The graph shows the resistance but yes we keep holding about that price and maybe 26k isn't coming any time now or soon.

If you look at the chart the yellow line is previously a resistance and now turning into a major support although is not there yet. you need to be carefully since the price already broke the 200 EMA and I would say the good entry point for OP is $1.2 and take profit on $2

while that seems to be close, why not purchase at 1.3$ instead of waiting more since there is only a 10 cents difference .

that is "IF THE PRICE GROWS OVERNIGHT" but what if Not? and have you seen Bitcoin growing like this? well this commonly happening in shitcoin and those who are being manipulated coins 

And that's just an example that I usually use, but maybe the usage also depends on the situation and conditions that occur in the market. If you can analyze it better, you will know whether to place another buy order at a lower price or simply place a single buy order, as I showed you.

just buy if you trust the coin , don't bother go deeper when you believe in what you are investing.
sometimes we need Guts and Luck to succeed in investments here

Although occasionally when we buy the price continues to decline, it is a good idea to buy when the price is undergoing a correction. The most crucial factor is how we perceive the state of the market. Make sure your investment is in the right token - The team is doing a great job, and there are many of goals and accomplishments to be made -, use the DCA technique, and don't make all of your purchases at once with all of your available funds.
I also hold some OP tokens -Optimism-, I think it's a good project for the future.

You can consider your purchases when the price approaches the support level. These same levels coincide with the Fibonacci level, which is much easier to use than other trading instruments. But you need to remember that the support level can also be broken, so distribute your balance so that you have money left to buy from the next support level.

[riskarcher]

IMX one of my target for DCA and the project is have great fundemental for the future of crypto. I will decide buy price target when fear and greed index is reach high fear thats the moment to entry price and accumulate coin on yoour portofolio. It will hard for us to read situation of chart market and needed skill for analytic of chart crypto market

the thing that make me doubtful investing in layer 2 token is that, what's exactly the use of the token though other than governance, the blockchain still uses ethereum for gas fee, so I think that alone already decrease utility of the layer 2 token in which in this case im sure gonna make the token hardly increase in value in the future.

[raidarksword]

Speculating the market is hard because crypto market is fast moving and no one really can predict it when it pump or dump that's why DCA is the best strategy to fulfill those buy orders of yours which is tested and proven strategy. If you are lucky enough when market crash, then it's the best way to get those buys with good discount from the market. Always have some stable coins when market sentiments is negative but I would suggest to apply DCA.

[RussianEnglishTranslation]

Personally I don't trade anymore, not until the bull market at least. For the time being I am participating in Twitter giveaways, bounties, and airdrops. Zealy io has a lot of bounties and Q Blockchain has giveaways on Twitter. On Zealy you can find bounties for promising projects like Shardeum and Lamina1.

but not all projects which crashed are worth buying. actually, most of them will have a continuous downward spiral and there's no chance of revival. so when you choose such alt to buy, better check the reason/s why they are getting dump. because for sure they have reasons. do remember, most of them are heading to worthless coins or tokens. so if you buy big, it means, you are getting rekt big. this is why most are still opting to top alts so even if they go down, they have higher possibility of going up again. your choice!

(....)

Most people especially traders will always have a basis when they will buy, some could be using supports and resistances. Some are using historical prices of a particular cryptocurrency, for example: on this price, the price peaked before and after that, it went dumped or vice versa.

While some are also not buying the dip or dump because they will not guarantee that it is the dip already or the cheapest, some are starting to buy once the price is bouncing back.
