Bitcoin Price and Liquidation

[jaberwock]

$100k was everyone's target for bitcoin so I think most of the investors who were already holding bitcoins sold once the price of bitcoin crossed $100k.  And everyone is looking forward to the next bear season.  We know that bear season will come again for Bitcoin and all other coins so it is better to wait for it than to panic and invest again in this bull season.  In case of futures trading you can take entry both long and short so it is also not a bad option but you must always trade with low leverage for fund safety.

If you bought early yes but for those who just bought recently, $100k is still nothing for them as their profit is still low. Old buyers might still save some just in case the bull continues, so both types of investors can still look forward for it. Yes, there will always be a bear market apart from the bull run, as both of them are part of how this crypto market works. It is just that we don't know the exact time if when they will occur.

There are signs but sometimes they are inaccurate, this is why some people can make mistakes. As for the futures trading, there might be a proper entry for it depending on what is the current market but yeah, it is always best to be safe and go with lower risks than sorry.

The price of BTC is still quite volatile but with great risk comes great reward even though I'd advise against any hasty decisions. On the other hand the price surge has given what you are looking for, events, and in abundant numbers. Just search for Bit get Diamond Thursday on Twitter, it's a BTC trading event offering BGB in good amounts but still don't let that blind you from the dangers of jumping into a trade carelessly. Good luck

$100K has been the target for many investors but when bitcoin got to that price, many of them changed their minds and want to wait till bitcoin gets to $150K. On a normal circumstance, we can say that they’re been taken over by greed and that’s what is driving that mindset of wanting to wait till $150K again. The bitcoin market have shown a lot of positive trend and many of them may have been convinced by that to wait a little time more to see what the next big price of bitcoin will be before they start selling. Those that are very disciplined would by now already gotten some of their assets sold if not all of them and will be waiting for the bear season no matter the time it’ll take for it to reach that price again.

Trading Bitcoin futures looks more convenient after hitting 100k, but the last long liquidation was still massive due to the drop and almost the same as old days because volatility at that time was high. while spot traders were smiling also because we all know that BTC will still go above 100k, as the drop looks like an opportunity to buy more. That's one reason I prefer spot trading, especially with an event to earn more and would also appreciate a suggestion here if there is one..

Do you sell at the top, buy more, or get liquidated during the drop?

One of the main problems of futures is that there's chances that you would really be that getting liquidated and if you wont be able to set up some stop loss then you would definitely be having that blown account or position on which this is really that totally opposite when you are dealing with SPOT trading and this is why before you will be that deciding on trying out futures then make it sure that you are that good with spot but of course its not a guaranteed because even on how pro you are in spot but doesnt mean that you will be able to handle up on what futures trading risks could give out, but there are really those traders who are really that loving on touching up this space.

If you are a long term holding then spot trading will be your preference and wont be touching up futures on which we do know that this will basically give out that possible liquidation with your position. It is really just that good when it comes to short term trading but of course with having that controlled leverage % or level because if you dont set out some good risks management into it then expect that will incur up that huge loses and this is something that we dont want to happen. Sell out on profis and if you do saw this to be the peak then securing profits is never been that a bad action to make.

Those that got liquidated as bitcoin is falling below $90000 to $95000 are those that are using a very high leverage. If you used 10x leverage, the liquidation will be below $90500. If you used 5x, the liquidation will be around $80000. But they used more than 5x and up to or more than 10x leverage. If I am trading bitcoin, I make sure I do not use more than 5x leverage. ..

It is obvious that these traders, whose positions were liquidated, neglected risk management, opening a maximum position with high leverage. If they had opened an order for 5-7% of their deposit, they would have had enough margin to avoid liquidation.
