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?
The only thing that's scary about day trading during the price is high, is when Btc suddenly crash and didn't bounce back. This is exactly what this topic is all about and the main reason of my stress!
When the price is low, the chances of downward or backward movement is much lower than when the price is extremely high (near ATH).
