I think I've mentioned this before but shorting an ath met by some rejection has been a successful strategy so far (not one I've implemented though).

Short term shorts and long term longs are probably generally the best for speculative markets anyway. That being said, you don't short the support, you'd short the breakthrough.

It's obviously easier to look back on how a market has been performing and determining you'll have a fully successful strategy when it'll probably be broken at some point. My first point is something I haven't tried because it's riskier and less of a % return than my current strategy when it eventually fails.

For me, we should consider the price action of Bitcoin around the last quarter of 2020 up to the month of January of 2021.
The run of Bitcoin before was extremely huge too, imagine from $10,000 -> $20,000 move, that is already 50%.

Speaking of shorts, these huge wicks or red candles are also causing by high leverage traders, or if you are familiar with "short squeeze". Lot of liquidations around $40,000 - $60,000.

In a bear market shorts are obviously easier. In a bull market obviously longs are easier. The point is you have no idea what kind of market we are in when its too late. Right now I think we are neutral. If we break $30K or $20K especially then I would say we are in a bear market however the problem then will be how much lower than it go before it reverses and goes higher. Say it goes to $19K and you are bearish, it might go to like $17K and reverse and head to new ATH.

Same is said for bull markets. When we broke $50K everybody was expecting $100K at least and look what happened, we topped out at $65K and most people were wanting to take partial profits in the $100K area which never hit. So you would of been better being a bear right there, however this is all in highsight and won't help you.

If you were 100% right with your tips you would probably be the most successful (and richest) professional trader worldwide
Look at the trading statistics of professional traders like Tone Vays, they are also 49% wrong with their trades, but 51% right, which is how they get the profits.

For us hobby traders it is much more important to stick to the exit strategies and to get out of failed trades immediately and not to doggedly hold on to the position (which is unfortunately very difficult especially for newbies).

Finally, someone who has the same thoughts like me when trading crypto futures 

I realized this too sometime back and I know it's weird but even during the Uptrend in the past months, I was shorting and I could still make some 10-20% profits  with the pull backs whenever Bitcoin prices hit the resistance levels.

When it comes to a major drop like one that just happened in the last 24 hours, it even gets sweeter, on the 10x leverage,  I easily make 50% to 100% profit with in a few hours.

The reason why price drops are very aggressive is because combined stop losses on the Spot and futures market are triggered while for an uptrend, there are no stop losses above the price on the spot market. It's only a few take profits and stop losses on the futures market.

If there is a high risk in the market, it is better to keep business shorts for now so that it is easy to understand the exact situation of the market a trader may take many small stops and try to make a profit from a few big winning businesses or a trader may choose to go for many small squirrel national profits and take many unexpected but big stops in the hope that many small profits will exceed the amount. Big loss anyone considering considering trading strategies is better to follow it.

If I were to choose a Long or Short position, I believe the basis for me is that I check on a higher timeframe to make sure the trend is your friend, as they say. Going with the direction is efficient in terms of having winning trades. The PnL ratio that I had is good with it and primarily focused on a single pair.

The majority of my trades this month are short positions, and I'm still profitable.

It solely depends on the trend for a range market like in the D1 chat you can profit from going both long and short since you wait for a confirmation near your major support or resistance zone. But shorting an uptrend market is like tieing a rope around your kneck because certainly it would end in tears
