Many think that you can only earn in a rising crypto market. But professionals know the secret: hedging positions allows you to stay in the black even during a dump!
📌 How does it work?
1️⃣ Long spot – you buy Bitcoin (or altcoin), believing in long-term growth.
2️⃣ Short futures – open a short position with the same volume (for example, on Binance Futures).
Result:
✔ If the market is rising – profit from spot, loss on futures (but you can close the short).
✔ If the market is falling – loss on spot, but profit from short compensates for it.
✔ As a result – you are protected from sharp movements!
⚡ Example from real trading
- You have 1 BTC purchased at $60,000.
- You open a short on BTCUSDT at $60,000 (1x without leverage).
- If BTC falls to $50,000:
- Spot: -$10,000
- Futures: +$10,000
- Total: 0 (but you didn't lose money!).
💡 When to use?
✅ Before major news (CPI, Fed speeches).
✅ In moments of uncertainty (hype → correction).
✅ For portfolio protection without selling assets.
🚨 Risks (be careful!)
- Futures require an understanding of margin and liquidations.
- Funding rate can eat into profits (better to avoid high values).
