And I think right now it is a good position to go long because BTC is on the bottom and there is a possibility that the price will go up or bounce higher next week. But if that doesn't happen, we must anticipate it by placing a stop loss so we don't suffer big losses.
In trading, we can set a stop loss to guard against the possibility of the price reversing quickly, which we cannot anticipate quickly either. And with the stop loss, the long or short position we have placed will immediately execute it and reduce the risk.
The uptrend and downtrend are designed to guard our decision and motive in the market. Bitcoin have a good entry if we follow the chart, because in the previous 24 hours, Bitcoin ATL was $22,198.98 and ATH $22,613.69 triggering a buy option for traders who was waiting for a good spot to enter trades on bitcoin. It's present price is $22,392.82, that means there's strong retest point that will fall back to ATL. However Bitcoin exhibit high probability of volatility and we should always map out plan B incase the chart goes different ways with our prediction. I've setup my entries because I'm confident that Bitcoin might hit a new ATL this week, the market is still bearish and there's need to apply caution when trading this period. Shorting is the best alternative but will be manage with crucial SL and TP if it hits any of the precise option.
I think if you can enter the market at this price, that's also fine, even though there is a possibility that the price will fall again. And if that happens, you can place another buy order at another low price. And I have a feeling some traders came into the market when the market crashed yesterday and are now starting to see some signs of upside from bitcoin because today, the price is much higher than it was a few days ago. And there is a possibility to see the price will start to increase the next day because usually, after a decline which we know as a correction, the price will start to recover.
But indeed, I agree with you that the bitcoin market is currently still in a bearish position so we must be very careful in entering the market. Prepare your analysis in advance to determine when to enter the market, and if you have, you can place your order and wait for it to be filled.
