As the Crypto Assets market is about to enter a new cycle, how should investors formulate long-term strategies? This article analyzes the market trends and investment strategies for the coming years.

At the beginning of 2024, Bitcoin (BTC) is expected to become the market focus. With the increase of BTC's dominance in the early stages of the bull market, investors may consider positioning themselves in BTC at this current stage, with a target price of the historical high of $69,000.

In the second half of 2024, the market landscape may change. Once BTC breaks its historical high, investment focus may shift to Ethereum (ETH) and popular niche segments. Areas worth paying attention to include artificial intelligence, Web3, Layer 2, blockchain gaming, the metaverse, NFTs, social media, real-world asset tokenization (RWA), decentralized applications, emerging public chains, the Bitcoin ecosystem, staking mechanisms, and meme coins, among others. Investors are advised to carefully select quality projects for investment.

Looking ahead to the second half of 2025, the market may reach its peak. At this time, investors should consider taking profits in batches, while also trying to short BTC and adopting a low-leverage long-term short strategy.

The second half of 2026 may be a good time for closing short positions. The market may enter a phase of temporary bottom, laying the groundwork for the next bull market. Investors can focus on BTC, ETH, and emerging quality projects to prepare for a possible small rebound.

Looking further ahead, a new round of bull market may arrive in 2028-2029. Investors should prepare in advance and layout their positions.

For market newcomers, BTC and ETH remain the top choices. Over a decade of market experience shows that most investors' trading activities are concentrated between these two mainstream Crypto Assets. Although other tokens also have potential, historical data indicates that, apart from BTC and ETH, most tokens ultimately struggle to avoid the fate of going to zero.

It is worth noting that spot trading is different from contract trading, as there are profit opportunities regardless of market fluctuations. Therefore, it is recommended that investors focus on one or two types of Crypto Assets, develop a long-term strategy, strictly adhere to trading discipline, and promptly set stop-loss and take-profit orders. Compared to diversifying investments in multiple coins, concentrating efforts often leads to higher overall returns.

The Crypto Assets market is constantly changing, and investors should closely monitor market dynamics, adjust strategies flexibly, and while seizing opportunities, also pay attention to risk management to achieve steady growth of their assets.
