short term trading

In cryptocurrency, short term refers to holding or trading an asset over a brief period, typically ranging from a few minutes to a few days or weeks.

⏱️ Short-Term Trading Characteristics:

Timeframe: Minutes to a few weeks

Goal: Quick profits from price swings

Common strategies: Day trading, scalping, swing trading

Risk: Higher due to market volatility

Tools used: Technical analysis, chart patterns, indicators (like RSI, MACD)

Example:

If a trader buys a coin today expecting to sell it within a week for profit, that’s short-term trading.

In contrast, long-term investing often means holding for months or years.
