"Long or Short: what should a trader choose right now?"
It depends not on what is "better", but on the market situation and your strategy 👇
🔹 Long (Long)
— You buy an asset, hoping for growth.
— You earn if the price goes up.
— Suitable in a bull market or when there are strong signals of growth.
— Risk: if the price drops, your position goes into the red.
🔹 Short (Short)
— You sell an asset you don't own, expecting the price to fall.
— You earn on the decline.
— Useful in a bear market or during a drop after news.
— Risk: if the price rises, losses can be unlimited (which is why stop-losses are mandatory).
⚖️ Conclusion:
In the long term, most traders bet on long, as the crypto market historically grows.
In the short term, short can be a very profitable tool, especially during corrections.
