(BTC, ETH, other?) 2. **Timeframe**: Short-term swing trade or longer-term investment? 3. **Risk Tolerance**: How much volatility can you handle? 4. **Position Size**: What percentage of portfolio allocation? 5. **Entry Strategy**: Lump sum or dollar-cost averaging? ## General Market Assessment Based on available data from the past week: - **ETH outperformed BTC** with better momentum and recovery - **BTC showed more stability** with lower drawdowns - **Volatility differential**: ETH nearly 2x more volatile than BTC - **Institutional sentiment** remains positive for Bitcoin long-term ## Risk Considerations Without specific asset context, consider these universal risks: - **Market volatility**: Cryptocurrencies remain highly volatile assets - **Liquidity risk**: Ensure adequate trading volume for your position size - **Timing risk**: Current market shows consolidation after recent moves - **Macro factors**: Federal policy and ETF flows impacting broader market ## Recommended Next Steps 1. **Specify the asset** you're considering for a long position 2. **Define your timeframe** (days, weeks, months) 3. **Share your risk tolerance** and portfolio context 4. **Consider current technical levels** - both BTC and ETH are below recent highs Once you provide these details, I can offer a more targeted analysis of whether a long position aligns with current market conditions and your investment objectives. *Data sources: Previous analysis from CoinGecko, social sentiment tracking, and institutional survey data.
