BTC surges past 9 k and short term threats are growing...

Short term positions are always most vulnerable when values are increasing or decreasing rapidly because that's when there's the most volatility. On the other hand, it is also when the most profit is to be had for people who are successful with their trades and in that sense it is a double aged sword.

Short trading is very risky you really have to watch the price movement of every coin. Personally if you really want to experience the real growth then HODL bitcoin, and make yourself busy to other things, yes you are making money through that but you are wasting your time because you can't buy bitcoin as the same price in the past.

I agree with your statement Short trading is very risky. But most people think of wanting to earn money easily without wasting time. I also occasionally experience it, so I have to wait for the coin to go down when the same price in the past.

It is very risky but that does not mean that holding bitcoin is the best strategy, it is the best strategy for those who are risk averse or for those who are not successful enough with short term trading. But for those who want to gain large amounts rapidly then you should definitely give it a try.

If you are not going to hold your bitcoins for a long term, then what the hell are you doing here? It is the same as saying that you are going to buy gold to just hold for two months, and knowing that the spread is more than 5% you still want to continue.

it is almost the same, why would you want to join bitcoin and then leave? it is ridiculous, and everybody who joins in here and only invest for a few days to make $100 or $300 are just the coward ones, because there is no reason to just join to make a quick profit and leave.

I do not understand how does all this kind of people are still able to invest in bitcoin, they must come back to their shitty bank investments and invest in those "safe fund's pool" who are giving out 3% a year plus taxes.

Yes,investments in bitcoin mostly gives benefits in long term basis and so,mostly bitcoins are bought as a long term investment.Even if bitcoin price increases at very high speed nowadays,short term benefits could no be expected all the time.To get huge benefits in short term,they should better invest in altcoins whose market is highly volatile and which best suits for short term trading.

no because "the rise of bitcoin" i not a new thing, the speed of the rise i not that new either. it has grown a lot this year but the rate at which price rises is similar to all the previous rallies. the amount is bigger though. and the whole market is not changed that much either. there is bitcoin, with its solid rise and all the FUD that is surrounding it, then there are altcoins which are the same old pump and dump schemes that many lost money in and some who know it make money from them.
short or long doesn't matter either, as long as you can speculate about the market you can be successful in trades that you make otherwise whether price is $10 or $10,000 you will lose money.

I think if the price rise in the bitcoin it will affect the short term and long term positions. Those who want to get the instant profit on it they will sell their bitcoin at the price which they wish.
On the other hand if these fluctuation occurs in short period then the arbitrage chances are high and the experts can use this arbitrage.

Bitcoin has been forcing Alts to correct their btc price according to their fiat price which is stable if you have you're money in Alts, at least in terms of fiat, you still have your investment even if you got trapped in the pumps in June. What is being revealed is that this amounts of bitcoin people are trading are still too big amounts price needs to correct so the amount of bitcoin held by each person is more accurate and that's why price just keeps raising. There's a fib right now at 10200 but I don't see this stopping until 16k or so.

This has to do with the expectations of people, they think that they can make a lot of money with bitcoin in the short term and while that is correct, you can also lose a lot if you happen to invest at one of the peaks and then there is a correction that is why a lot of people prefer to invest for the long term to avoid those losses.

It is truly a double edge sword because I could remember vividly when I was newly introduce to FX trading I usually trade on 5 minute chart with high lot size of which I use to gain more than triple of my capital and lost heavily at the same time until I developed the best strategies that works for me. This is also the same thing that happen in crypto currency trading if am not mistaken I have tried it before now.

Of course it will because for example, they just have bought their bitcoin and then when they saw that the bitcoin rise its price value high, they immediately sell it. They didn't wait for the time that it will rise up more so they can get more than what they deserved to gain. So sometimes, they will not deny to feel regret by deciding to sell their bitcoin immediately because of the fear that the price will drop again.

Any growth will affect short term positions. The reason for this is the volatility of bitcoin that comes through corrections after bubbles. It's highly suspected that a lot of people have sell orders in on bitcoin hitting 10,000. When that's reached, if a lot of people drop their bitcoin, we'll see a very strong correction that may drop it sub 9000. Short term traders should probably sell asap, it may be dangerous if they try to buy a lot more at 10,000.

It obviously will. I noticed short time fluctuations all through yesterday. I think the best approach in trading would be longer durations such as hourly as there has been appreciable gains or bullishness within such periods. I am not a trader and wouldn't know if 24 hour period is a possibility, if it were, I'm sure many daring traders are making a lot of gains off the bull run.
