The breakdown of 10500 was a clear sign that price will drop more .. price didn't bounce at all .. but as a holder who has early entries, is it the right time to get out now?! did we just lost the uptrend?
I asked my self a question: Is n't there a trend manipulation?
our aim to focus on the trend and not get lost due to market manipulation! .. exchanges/whales, doing very well moving the price on short term for their favor .. maybe liquidating heavy long/short before price make a big move to the other side ... I doubt THEY CAN CHANGE THE TREND DIRECTION!
In the past I lost a lot of money taking short term trades even when its good ones .. In Crypto market its very hard and so slow but if i still prefer to trade it then i decided its better to do it the right way which is less stress avoiding market manipulation and only focus on the trend!
Trade could takes months but i saved my self a ton of stress and losses. even when I turn to be wrong or make mistakes on short term like everyone. i will still get out with a nice ROE.
I was watching a lot of channels/services following most of professional traders and i didn't see anyone who is able to predict btc moves correctly most of times in anywhere! at the end it was my own choices/decisions!
I was not a professional trader and i am still learning .. changing my strategy in a risky market was a good choice for me. more so, stick to it and be patient ... at the end I am still on huge ROE no matter when i deiced to be out of the market ... but the question, is it right time now?!! or this is a trend manipulation ...... or there is no uptrend and this is just corrective wave up?!
It really depends on how much risk i am willing to take! it differ from one to another considering i am not willing to lose my mind because of trading!
I am ready to take the risk and be certain about my exist ... as a holder i would be mad if the price fly after my exist and i will be fine with less ROE if that didn't happen ... I am not bullish bias ... I am only trend bias and i will stick to my strategy.
I would like to clarify that i hold a good a mount of BTC since 3500 and 5000 in private wallet .. I did apply the same strategy on my BITMEX account with 20% of my capital that i used half of it at 3300 (x25) margin .. I was so calm, brave and lucky to open a massive amount of contracts with high leverage and less than 200 point a way of my entry to be liquidated. i added 25% more at 4900 and later the rest 25% at 7800 and 9500. My early entry did very well to keep my liquidation price far enough. at the moment its 6300
It was not easy to be so calm or be so patient when you are in x25 leverge or to not sell at every higher peaks .. instead of that we added more contracts after every correction! The difference from 14k ROE to now is massive but we seen that 2 times before and we treat it as just numbers not real money to avoid getting emotionally while taking serious decision about the TREND!
Now i know some will think, how i will hold such amount of positions for long period of time while maintain PNL and fees which is also play role with liquidation price. There is a nice trick for how to open contracts as a market maker ( not at market price ) that way you will get a rebate, when PREDICTED FUNDING RATE calculated periodically which differ all time since i am considered as a market maker. for Ex. my PNL was more than +1.3 btc and now its -1.1 btc ... Sometimes you can take fees not just pay fees! .. Yes
My current plan is to be patient .. to focus on 12H..1D..2D time frames at the moment ..
I have 3 scenarios in mind:
--price will start to recover and reverse from 9500
--price will retest 9100
--price will resume to drop and 9100 will be broken with a few hundreds to stop out everyone! Maybe 8800
I will RISK my exist point to be below 8700
