#MarketRebound đ„ | Does the bounce sell you a dream? Hereâs why hedging is your real weapon
Have you seen the hashtag #MarketRebound : 'The market is bouncing, get in quick!' They sell you the idea that catching the bounce is the key to profit. Spoiler: this mantra can become a trap if the bounce turns against you. I too fell victim to the 'Iâm waiting for the bounce, it crashes on me' syndrome. I ended up testing hedging and discovered a much more serene way to navigate these roller coasters.
1ïžâŁ Brutal awakening: chasing the bounce, the false good idea
How many times have you jumped on an apparent bounce of $SUI or $SOL , only to see the price go the other way? Itâs not a coincidence: bounce movements attract the crowd at a time when liquidity is tricky.
My anecdote: I attempted a long on ETH after that famous 'sweep' of support, convinced of the bounce. Result: false breakout, I panic, I exit, then⊠a real bounce without me. The regret was intense. I understood that chasing the bounce, without a safety net, multiplies false signals and stress.
2ïžâŁ Hedging as a provocative counterpoint
Why settle for targeting the bounce when we can neutralize extreme volatility? Instead of betting everything on the bounce, I open a calibrated hedge: partial long + short on the same or correlated pair.
Example $BTC : after a rapid drop, rather than going hard on the bounce, I open a long 0.6x and a short 0.4x. If a real recovery begins, I close the short and let the long run. If itâs a false alarm, I let go of the long and accompany the short. Result: I miss fewer swings and preserve my mental state.
3ïžâŁ Take advantage of the bounce without becoming enslaved by it
The bounce attracts too many people at the same time: liquidity is often thin before the real movement. Hedging allows me to stay clear-headed: I no longer suffer from FOMO or the panic of 'now or never.'
In scalping mode 5â15 min on BTC or SOL, I spot the possible bounce zone, but I simultaneously open a light opposing leg to limit the impact if it turns out to be a false breakout. If the bounce confirms, I trigger the TP on the long and close the short; otherwise, I reverse properly.
4ïžâŁ Provocateur: dare to challenge the pure bounce dogma
Everyone shouts 'buy the dip and sell the bounce!' I say: 'Why risk everything in one direction when the market loves to play against you at the critical moment?' Hedging breaks this dangerous routine.
