Not in a vault (yet 😅), but via ETC.
Inflation hedge? Market chaos insurance? Or just shiny diversification – we’ll see!

54When it comes to Bitcoin $BTC (-1,5 %) opinions are divided: Some see it as just a digital casino, others as the hardest currency in the world. For me, Bitcoin is digital gold but with a significantly better return potential than physical gold $IGLN (+0,3 %)
Especially with Bitcoin I find the technical chart analysis particularly exciting. Because here human psychology, value attribution, cycles play an even greater role here than with many traditional shares, which in my opinion often makes it easier to predict future movements.
As with any hobby, a bit of coffee grounds reading for men and in the case of Bitcoin, this is not only entertaining but also relevant. Because here timing can be crucial and a cleverly placed Lump Sum purchase quickly turns into digital gold, literally!
Those who only rely on DCA (dollar-cost averaging) have historically often been at a disadvantage with Bitcoin, even more so than with conventional equities. That's why I'm sharing my analysis here for all those who want to take a bit of a gamble when investing in Bitcoin. timing to achieve a better return than would be possible with pure DCA.
Fibonacci levels - the magic of numbers (colored bars)
Hardly any analysis can do without the famous Fibonacci retracements without the famous Fibonacci retracements. The idea: markets do not move randomly, but react to certain percentage retracement levels (0.236, 0.382, 0.5, 0.618, 0.786 ...). The chart shows how Bitcoin repeatedly reacts to these levels. Whether these are laws of nature or self-fulfilling prophecies is up to you. The fact is that many traders pay attention to them.
Elliott waves - five up, three down (1,2,3,4,5 / A,B,C)
In the big picture, the chart currently fits well into the classic Elliott wave theory theory:
- We had five waves up (1-5 in green).
- Now comes the logical consequence: an ABC correction.
The pattern: wave (A) down, a countermovement (B) up, and then another deeper crash (C).
My tactics - DCA and Lump Sum
I plan to trade in the green boxes with DCA (Dollar-Cost-Averaging) to enter the green boxes. However, should Bitcoin cross the yellow line reaches the yellow line, I will make a lump sum purchase (a larger sum at once).
The boxes are my "retreat zones", so to speak, where I expect the market to stop sooner or later. The lower the box, the less likely it is to reach this green box, but in the case of Bitcoin, with corrections of between -30% and -90% in the past, this is still within the realm of possibility!
And now the questions for you
This is my strategy. But how do you do it?
- Are you betting on DCA, regardless of the price?
- Do you wait patiently for a major correction?
- Or do you go all-in as soon as a certain level is reached?
In the end, every investor and trader has their own philosophy and that's what makes the world of charts so exciting!
Greetings Lord Vader!
(Disclaimer: The analysis discussed in this post can just as easily be right as it can be wrong. Technical analysis is only based on the past and is not a given for the future. Therefore, regardless of how Bitcoin performs, I have a fixed hodl position that will not be touched. The mentioned strategy refers to new investments of mine with a short to medium term holding period. Even if Bitcoin never reaches these prices again, I am well invested! No investment advice, just my opinion).
If the rumor proves true, the Fed is expected to cut interest rates in September. In that case, I anticipate gold could gain some momentum.
Fingers crossed 🤞 🚀

Hola a todos. Como buen inversor novato, me predispongo a leer, aprender de todos e intentar aplicar cualquier sugerencia de mejora.
Tras escucharos, he optado por un modelo de cartera básico que pretendo mantener con el tiempo.
Mi perfil es moderado, intentando diversificar geográficamente y usando distintos tipos de inversión.
Planeo plan modesto de 250€/mes repartidas por los distintos ETF, acción y criptos, para ver como va evolucionando.
Mi modelo es núcleo principal y ETF satélites a su alrededor. El núcleo se mantiene estable, y el resto irán aumentando aporte gracias al plan dd inversión.
Núcleo: (Rango 60-70%)
Satélites: (25-35% ETF)
$VECA (+0,13 %) Bonos
$XDEV (+0,3 %) Mundial
$VHYG (+0,16 %) High Dividend
$FYEM (-0,26 %) Quality
$MVOL (-0,49 %) Low Volat
Materias Primas: (5-10%)
$IGLN (+0,3 %) Physical Gold
$SSLN (-0,63 %) Physical Silver
Como veis bastante diversificado y variado.
Agradezco vuestra valoración y aportes.
Hi all
here's some info on my strategy, it's core-satellite method
ETF's is the biggest part with
Core:
$VUSA (+0,32 %) & $VEUR (+0,39 %)
Satellite:
$ASWC (+0,78 %) & $DFEN (+0,69 %) as Defense investing, due to EU pulling 5% of GDP with 2030 target
$IGLN (+0,3 %) for the gold exposure, minimizing downtrend when markets drop
$JEGP (-0,72 %) to make use of market volatility as source of income
$TDIV (+0,04 %) past performance is great, dividends of 3-4% always nice income
Individual stocks: mostly dividend stocks as we can deduct €240-region of dividend income of those indidual stocks, sadly not of ETF's.
$$KBC (+0,29 %) is marked as pension plan. I do work for KBC and once a yearn i can buy stocks and deduct some of it from my taxes, also buying on cheaper prices.
$UNP (+0,32 %) will be a good long-term hold as america is still the biggest, and with trump it should have some long-term growth in it.
$ARCAD (+4,22 %) is a value play, aiming to sell around €58, but in meantime, giving dividend to deduct taxes.
$JNJ: (-0,33 %) always good to have this one, great long-term hold and steady source of dividends
$ASML (+4,93 %) : love this stock, it's a monopoly and is growing strongly, keeping this as long as i like the progress
YTD return:
🥇 Gold: ≈ +39.1 %
🥈 Silver: ≈ +24.7 %
🥉 Copper: ≈ +20.6 %
⚗️ Palladium: ≈ +34.5 %
💎 Platinum: ≈ +45.4 %
🥇Gold:
📈Chart technicals: The uptrend is running in a clean rising weekly channel.
The all-time high at 3 500 $/oz (22 Apr.) is intact; setbacks to the 50-day EMA (~3 300 $) were absorbed each time.
Primary support zone: 3 200 - 3 100 $ - the previous breakout level. RSI > 60 confirms bullish momentum.
ℹ️Fundamental Driver No. 1: Central bank buying.
In 2025, the official sector is again targeting ≈ 1,000 t - the 4th year in a row of massive purchases, driven by de-dollarization and geopolitical hedging.
🥈Silver:
📈Chart technicals:
Despite +25% YTD, the price is still ~30% below the historic peak of $49. The multi-decade cup-and-handle formation is approaching the neckline at 36 - 37 $; a significant weekly close above it could activate a target above 75 $. Short-term supports: $34.8 (May breakout level) and $32.
ℹ️Fundamental Driver No. 1: Supply deficit.
The World Silver Survey reports a shortfall of 149 Moz in 2024; a further 118 Moz is expected in 2025 - largely due to solar and e-mobility demand, while 70% of production is by-product.
🥉Copper:
📈Chart technicals:
On July 8, the "blue-sky breakout" to 12 526 $/t (5.68 $/lb) took place. Volume spike and weekly RSI > 70 confirm strength. The former top band 10 500 - 10 800 $/t now serves as key support; a retest to ~11 000 $ would be technically sound without breaking the uptrend.
ℹ️Fundamental driver no. 1: Structural scarcity.
UNCTAD warns: By 2030, around 80 new mines and $ 250 bn CapEx would be needed to meet demand from the energy transition, data centers and e-mobility - otherwise the market deficit will persist.
This is where I am currently positioned:
🥇Gold:
🥈Silver:
🥉Copper:
❓Do you see a continuation of the bull market in metals and are you positioned accordingly?
$IGLN (+0,3 %) I got this ETF just to get started investing in raw materials. As of now, everything goes fine, but I wondered why I cannot see/find this ETF in the deep-dive of my portfolio.
Thanks und advance for your comments :)
Did the most scared thing ever with my money… but also the most exciting. I’ll (hopefully) thank myself for someday! 💸
While the first 33K is invested now, I’m just waiting for a ‘good’ moment to jump into Bitcoin for 45% of my portfolio.
$VWCE (+0,42 %)
$CSNDX (+0,48 %)
$IS3R (+0,46 %)
$IGLN (+0,3 %)
$ZPRV (+0,1 %)
$WSML (+0,41 %)
$CSEMUS (+0,37 %)
$QDV5 (+0,24 %)
Hola,
Estoy en proceso de cambio de cartera, y pensé en destinar unos 7k a una pequeña cartera de ETF.
Tengo un 65% de cartera en Fondos, 50% Ibex, 50% MSCI, por lo que ambas regiones están bien cubiertas.
En la parte ETF, he pensado en esta distribución concreta:
ETF países emergentes + Asia $EIMI (+0,37 %)
ETF Europa $SMEA (+0,43 %)
ETF replica Oro $IGLN (+0,3 %)
ETF Defensa + Aeroespacial. $IVDF (+1,34 %)
Intentaré equilibrar al 25% cada fondo, y usar un plan mensual para ir aportando periódicamente según rentabilidad.
¿Alguna idea de mejora?
Gracias
Apart from the current standard reasons "geopolitical uncertainties, expectations of interest rate cuts, weakening US dollar", I can't think of any 🤷♂️
