Why I don't recommend shorting:
Regardless of price movements, you can choose from various trading methods. Going long, taking profits, going short, closing short positions, or reversing positions. Those with some trading experience know to first rule out reversing positions, as it can lead to significant long-term wear and tear. This leaves us with going long to take profits and going short to take profits.
First, it's important to clarify that holding a long position in spot trading is manageable; with an asset like Bitcoin that continuously reaches new highs, as long as you have time, you have room for error. However, shorting is not bearable; when the peak has not been established, no one knows where the true top is.
If you truly want to accumulate in trading, you must at least learn to short using long strategies, meaning even when prices drop, choose to buy the dip for a rebound instead of shorting. Prolonged shorting will cultivate a mindset that makes you unable to resist shorting every local peak when the real trend arrives, leading to continuous stop losses or even liquidation.
The true bull trend is when you can achieve excess returns. You can't make big money in a range; if you expect to showcase your skills in a range, you will ultimately be at a loss when the trend arrives.
