I don't know why most people enjoy the heavy rise of bitcoin while it is only good for long term holders. How long do they want to hold? Forever? They have to sell at some point and exit the market. For day traders like me, expensive bitcoin is not attractive at all because it not only reduces my profit, it also increases my stress.
I have to buy at $40.000 and sell at $40.200 to gain daily profit (This is an example). This is much less profitable than when I used to buy at $8000 and sell at $8200 the same day. Apart from this, whenever I buy at $40.000, I am worried about a big crash right around the corner because the prices are too high now.
How do you cope with this situation as a day trader? Do you dare to buy $40K bitcoin for short term trading?
Yeah, why not I mean as long as the coin is volatile enough to make a profit. Now in the case of Bitcoin, I think you could say that it is the right to do it because the price is moving up and down unlike before where Bitcoin only moving upward. If you are planning to do day trade I will highly suggest using another coin like alts where they really volatile enough perfect for day trade. I think Bitcoin will do but I do much prefer Bitcoin in the long term trade though cause for me it is very effective in that way. Anyway, it still depends on you though.
