Is going long at the same point more profitable than going short? Let’s uncover the leverage trap!
The truth: the 'starting point' of rises and falls is different!
Assuming Bitcoin's current price is $30,000:
- A 10% rise → becomes 33,000 (+3,000 dollars)
- A 10% drop → becomes 27,000 (-3,000 dollars)
Looks symmetrical? Wrong!
- Rising from 30k to 33k is +10%
- But dropping from 33k back to 30k only requires -9% (not 10%! )
👉 It is easier to drop than to recover, this is a mathematical rule and has nothing to do with the platform!
Leverage amplifies this asymmetry!
Example with 10x leverage:
- Going long with a 5% rise → principal doubles 50% (5%×10x)
- Shorting a 5% drop → earns 50% the same (absolute value symmetry)
