How to Trade This Market Without Guessing Direction 🤔
Altcoins keep underperforming. Most are slowly bleeding out, especially big governance tokens like ARB, OP, UNI, TIA, ATOM, etc. If you want to trade without taking big directional bets, pair trading is your best option.
This strategy lets you stay market neutral. You don't need to guess where BTC is going. You just need to bet on what will do better (or worse) relative to other coins. The idea is simple 👇
📉 Short coins that are doomed — Big caps that are overvalued and weak. ARB, OP, UNI are great examples. They’re unlikely to pump and have no real demand long term.
📈 Long coins that are strong — Ones that outperform Bitcoin or at least keep up. Right now, HYPE is one of the few showing strength.
Example setup:
🟢Long $10K of HYPE
🔴Short $10K split across ARB, OP, UNI ($3.3K each)
1️⃣If the market rallies, HYPE likely outperforms the junk.
2️⃣If it drops, the junk likely crashes harder.
3️⃣Either way, you’re trading relative strength, not direction.
This is a strategy is great for this cycle. It works because most altcoins are slowly bleeding to zero, and only a few have actual demand or momentum. You're not betting on Bitcoin. You're betting that HYPE will beat ARB, OP, and UNI. That’s much easier to predict 🔮
