Volatility can be exploited as long as it is in Hodl mode most of the time, when you take a speculative attitude in the market, you should go in the trend line that the market is going, if there is a previous investment and due to volatility price rises is at that time where you can take profit, some use the margin mode to win, although everyone has their own way of trading. In my case, the liquidations that usually occur in Bitmex, you can see many times the use of multiple bots that buy contracts for 1USD, and this somehow produces volume, when liquidations of 100x, 50x occur, many times the opposite candle occurs In that way I have sometimes been lucky, but it is almost like gambling, it is difficult to detect it.
Its somewhat like gambling if we do talk about margin and a little bit mixed with luck basing up on our intuitions but the fact where skills and experience does count.
Basing up on what set-up youve been following, its good that you do able to pull it through but i would say that majority wont really able to detect it unless if youre
that experience and fast eyes.
Volatility is the best recipe on making money but with this also, we would really be fucked up if you do counter the flow.
