Recently, I took a look at some US economic data and found something quite interesting—the leading economic indicators have dropped again, and they've been declining for four consecutive years now. How low are they? They've fallen back to levels seen in 2008. Those in the know understand that when this kind of trend appears, the economy is very likely heading into a sluggish period.

To be honest, this actually has some relevance to the crypto market.

Whenever the traditional financial markets become unstable, capital starts looking for a way out. In the past couple of years, more and more people have been treating Bitcoin as an alternative safe-haven asset—even though it’s volatile, it actually appears more "resilient" during times of macroeconomic turmoil. After all, there’s no central bank that can just print more and dilute it.

If you’re also waiting for a good entry point, here are a few simple suggestions:

**First, don’t panic sell.** If you’re holding mainstream coins, don’t panic if they drop in the short term. For assets with real value, time will tell.

**Second, build your position gradually.** If you have spare cash, build your position slowly rather than going all in at once. The market won’t hand you opportunities just because you’re in a rush.

**Third, keep an eye on the majors.** If Bitcoin and Ethereum aren’t moving, then altcoins basically have no shot. They’re the thermometer for the entire market.

The more chaotic the market, the more you need to stay calm. The market never lacks opportunities; what it lacks are people who can endure boredom. There are no so-called miracle trades in crypto—just getting the timing right and managing your positions well.
