the mistake is when you enter without looking at the resistance barrier first. open position carelessly. You only need to hold it and even then it doesn't necessarily have a profit, because the first rule, don't enter when you see the potential above the highest price. do simple analysis with a method you understand.
Correct but I would suggest doing one of my answers and suggestions that I am gonna write.
I get that generally your risk amount should be at a previous support and within the amount you're willing to risk but how exactly do you determine potential profits?
From the simple statement "invest low and sell it high". Sorry if it's not the right and exact statement but you got the meaning of my statement? And to determine when it is the right time while the charts stay on red is simple you really need to gain knowledge when it comes to trading and handling stocks( it may be different from bitcoin but I did read a few), likely more on handling trading about bitcoin if you want to learn asap.
Plus read different articles or in every forum here that you are curious about and if your question has not yet been asked here go and create a thread and ask.
Would it be at a previous resistance?
The price point is base on you and your knowledge as well as experience and depends on your money and if you will especially go to day-to-day trading.
Likely from my point of view, the answer to that will be in different forms of numbers.
Still lets me give you an example the amount of bitcoin is at 60K and later for a few days it went on 50k or 40k I would say go and buy.
Still, in determining the amount, you will earn is you need to do the math and in the end, it depends on what you already know and gain. I know I should be straightforward on what should we know exactly to determine the resistance but like I said it really much better for you to learn about trading by yourself.
What if it's a new high and there is no previous resistance, would it then be at certain price points?
I am kinda confused no new resistance? Which will stay on that highest price value? For a long time? First, it can't be possible without a previous resistance
(Answering this base on what I understand) are you saying that if there is a new highest resistance and it could stay for a while on that price or changes is only at 2 or 3 percent lowest? I would suggest you must wait for that right moment.
