Obsessing over crypto prices all day hurts your mental health and returns. Here's the 5-minute morning routine that gives you everything you need — and nothing you don't.
Open Delta App or CoinGecko: check BTC, ETH, and your top 3 holdings. Did anything move 10%+ overnight? If yes: was it news-driven or unexplained? Unexplained 10%+ moves warrant investigation. Routine 1–3% moves: ignore and continue.
Check the Crypto Fear & Greed Index (alternative.me). Extreme Fear (0–25): consider buying more. Greed (75–100): consider taking some profits. This single number captures market sentiment better than most indicators.
Scan CoinDesk headlines (60 seconds). Key things: Fed news, regulatory changes, hacks. Check Bitcoin ETF flows (farside.co.uk): inflows = institutional buying = bullish. Outflows for 5+ consecutive days = caution. Takes 2 minutes, tells you what institutions are doing.
Check if any DeFi positions need attention: (1) Is collateral ratio safe? (2) Any rewards to harvest/reinvest? (3) Any positions near liquidation? Then put your phone down. Don't check again until tomorrow. Crypto rewards patience, not monitoring.
