Looking back, I reduced my BTC holdings (around 110,000) in May and invested in US stocks. AMD, Nvidia, Apple, Google, Tesla, and Intel all saw gains of at least 50%, with some even doubling. The techniques of buying on dips and sideways movements proved effective. Furthermore, the effectiveness of candlestick charts is based on liquidity, and US stocks have the best liquidity, so they're generally reliable. In contrast, the crypto market is unsettling to even look at. Right now, you're hoping for a US stock market crash so crypto prices will rise. How likely is that? In the crypto market, you can only play with BTC; there's nothing else.
