The day traders won't be buying BTC right now, because there's no indication that the price will do up,
wrong..
day traders dont care about long term prices..
all they care about is waves of 1-5% changes
per day. in any direction
yep they can even profit with the price moving down.. if you plan reserves right
it doesnt matter if the price is $30k or $60k.. they view the market in daily % movements. not yearly low or high $$ amounts
i personally have a hoard for long term.. and i do the occasional day trade.
if there is an opportunity to day trade even 1-5%.. ill take it.
i have reserves of btc and fiat. so:
if the price drops by 2% i use my fiat reserves to buy more btc and put it to sell at 2% higher.
thus when the sell hits i increase my fiat reserves by 2%
if the price moves up 2% i use my btc reserves and put a sell and then put a buy to buy at 2% less , thus when the buy hits i increase my btc reserves by 2%
(note i never put full reserves into 1 order. which mitigates even further risk)
that way i am going to make 2% more btc or 2% more fiat each day depending on the direction
at ~$30/btc.. 2% is only a movement of $600.. which has happened a few times in the last few weeks. easy money(much better than bank savings account interest rates per year)
it doesnt matter to me if the weekly price is $6, $3k, $6k, $30k, $60k
its all about percentages. not $$
