🚨 Hedging Strategy $BTC BTC: Protection & Opportunities in One Step 🚨
I opened a long position on BTC at a price of 106,578 worth 0.01 BTC, seeing a fairly solid upward trend. However, when the 15-minute chart showed potential reversal, I immediately took a risk mitigation step:
🔁 Hedging short at a price of 108,403 with the same amount, which is 0.01 BTC.
What is Hedging?
Hedging is a strategy to lock in a position — by opening an opposite position to the main position — to minimize the risk from price movements that do not meet expectations.
🎯 The goals: • Profit protection if a price decrease occurs • Flexibility to close one of the positions depending on the next market direction
Today's BTC Insight: • The 15-minute timeframe shows signs of short-term correction • Volume is starting to slow down, RSI is overbought, potential retracement is quite strong • Hedging becomes a wise option when technical signals start to be mixed
💡 The key to success is not only about entry but also how to actively manage risk.
The funding fee changed from negative to positive, what does it mean? It means that those who are short have already been liquidated, or people are fomoing to go long.
As usual, the majority will become liquidity. I think this is a short.
Everyone is lying to you about locking/hedging. Have you ever been taught hedging by a broker/sales/IB?
It is certain that you will be directed to do locking/hedging when your buy/sell position is floating negative. Instead of closing the position, a bad broker directs you to lock in the floating negative under the pretext of "to avoid a margin call (liquidation)" which is truly unreasonable. They are just happy with the commission they earn from each of your transactions; when your account is margin called, they will only ask you to deposit, deposit, and deposit. How wicked they are.
Here I provide an explanation of proper Hedging. I do hedging for positive positions, my concerns arise when the price has touched the resistance point and there is a potential reversal/correction that could erode your profit, that is where Hedging works.
When you have a large floating profit position, there is nothing wrong with hedging at reversal points; this can save you if there is a significant correction.
Picture: $BTC Long $BTC Short for short-term hedging
In my view, BTC filled the FVG and then continued to rise for a short squeeze. The funding fee indicates an increase, showing traders' confidence in seeing price increase opportunities. In the short term, it is likely to be pumped to the liquidation area before continuing to drop.
Open interest has decreased, meaning many are closing positions here along with the liquidation of short positions. There is a possibility that short positions will be made to suffer even more for a while longer.
