As we step into August, The crypto market finds itself at a key turning point. Volatility is increasing and traders are on edge wondering whether to hold tight or take profits.
In this article, We Will break down my personal crypto holding plan. How I am navigating the current volatility and what I expect following the July 30 FOMC decision. We will also explain how rate cut speculation, market sentiment and technical patterns are shaping my decisions.
Still Holding With Confidence
Right now, I am comfortably holding onto my trades. No immediate plans to take profits or sell. My positioning is intentional:
I believe a bigger move is coming and I have kept enough cash on the side to add more if we see deeper dips.
In this market perspective matters. The goal is to ride the bigger wave. If it happens,great. If not, I have accepted the level of risk I am managing. That mindset helps me stay focused even in choppy conditions.
FOMC on July 30 > Rate Cut or Not?
The Federal Reserve FOMC meeting on July 30 is the next big catalyst. Market sentiment is split. Some expect a rate cut others think the Fed will hold rates steady.
✅ If the Fed Cuts Rates
- This would likely trigger a short term market pump
- Risk assets like Bitcoin and Ethereum could rally fast
- August might kick off with strong bullish momentum
❌ If the Fed Holds Rates
- There could be a temporary dip or consolidation
- However the market has largely priced this in
- I’ll be watching for buy the dip opportunities
In both cases, I plan to hold through and potentially add more positions on weakness. I am not chasing pumps. I am positioning for the longer game.
Market Structure > Flushes Before Moves
One thing I have noticed.
Markets often like to flush both sides before major events like FOMC. We have seen false breakouts and failed pumps recently and I would not be surprised if there is a bit more downside before the trend resumes.
ETH is making lower highs and BTC dominance is stable at its lows. This type of structure often leads to one final shakeout before continuation.
My view? Dips are for buying not panicking.
The Bigger Picture > Still Bullish
Despite recent volatility. I remain long term bullish. The fundamentals have not changed:
- Spot ETFs are now part of the landscape
- Institutional interest is growing
- Long term adoption continues to climb
This kind of environment is built for conviction based holding. I am not interested in playing every short term move. I am here for the macro cycle and I am managing risk accordingly.
So, Hold or Sell?
- $ETH is approaching key breakout levels.
- Bitcoin dominance remains low altcoins could fly.
- On chain activity is rising again.
- The macro setup favors risk on once uncertainty clears.
Unless something unexpected hits. I am holding through August with flexibility to add more if dips come.
Final Thoughts > Perspective Over Panic
Crypto is not about catching every small move. Its about being there when the big move happens.
I would rather hold and let the trade work. Than try to time every top or bottom. That’s my mindset for August. Calm clear and confident.
