My guess is that there will be a move toward $300 and then it will pull away and many will think the danger is over, but then after a while when you aren't looking, the dumpers will try to smash through.
This is a huge opportunity for those who are patient. Swap costs are almost nothing right now so if you don't already have a short position, wait for the pull back and then get one and wait because I guarantee, I know in my bones, The bottom will be retested.
As it gets closer to $270, start closing your short, just a few BTC at a time so nobody notices. If the retest happens relatively soon (say within a month or so), and volume is very high, get out of your short and start going margin long.
With swap costs so low, there is a possibility of making a massive amount of money by putting relatively little of your own coins or cash at risk.
I have a massive short right now and my swap costs are less than a dollar a day. I'm gonna wait these fuckers out. Keep in mind we had both a short and long squeeze recently, so make sure your short liquidation price is over $475 and your long liquidation price is under $200 depending on your risk tolerance.
and for God's sake, get your coins off of the exchange and into cold storage or a vault if you are not going to put them in play.
This is an exciting time to be alive. Great fortunes will be won and lost in this battle. If $270 holds on high volume, I am going margin long and staying margin long until I can chop the head off of the next bubble.
Good luck and happy trading. and...try to make sure you have some balance in your life. Some people risked and gave their lives to save the world. We are only risking money, most of it conjured out of thin air by banksters. Bitcoin isn't everything. If you can't afford to fight, that's ok. I bear a large part of the responsibility for things getting this bad, so I'm going to put a good size chunk into play.
Nice quality post between all the rubbish!
I only understand half you said about the swap costs and liquidation price,I'm learning. but I feel the exact same sentiment like you and also think the market will move like you describe. I feel the urgent need to learn how to margin trade, but I don't know why
It's the same feeling I had when I entered bitcoin 1,5 years ago. I felt I had to buy, did not buy out of emotion or analysis. I just had to do it. Later on I figured out that I actually made a very good trade

Happy bottom hunting!
