Everyone talks about "buying the dip." Nobody talks about which dip.

Here's the thing most beginners get wrong: they think crypto moves randomly. It doesn't. There are clear, repeating patterns — BTC halving cycles, altcoin rotation, macro liquidity flows — and once you see them, the market starts making sense.

The 3 biggest mistakes I see:

1. Buying altcoins before BTC dominance peaks. BTC leads every cycle. When BTC dominance is climbing, most alts bleed. Timing your alt entries to dominance reversals is the single highest-leverage move you can make.

1. Ignoring macro. Crypto doesn't exist in a vacuum. Fed rate cycles, DXY, global M2 — these drive the big moves. You don't need to be a macro trader, but you need to know the wind direction.

1. Confusing a bear market rally with a new bull. 2026 is a perfect example — weakness, not collapse. The difference matters. Positioning for "weak but not dead" is completely different from positioning for "bull is back."
