I had a friend whom I warned that shorting bitcoin at this point in time will be a very unwise move because the price action has been stimulated to the positive side. He didn't listen, and he still shorted bitcoin like hell and constantly bugs me asking for affirmation re: bitcoin's price going down. He lost $3000 just this day due to not looking at market conditions and not checking other traders' sentiments before he decide to make his own plans. He's only trading for 5 months and he's learned a somewhat expensive lesson.
At this point, I wouldn't bet against bitcoin getting some appreciation in price. We've been in the reds for over 2 weeks now and the market is just asking to get some greens for a short time.
The market is not fixed yet. It is a fake pump. The pumping of BTC is just a trap of BTC, because many people will open short in this pump and those who open this short will make BTC liquidity. Therefore, because of this pumping, no one will open short now. If the market is better, then they can get more profit now. In my opinion it is better to do nothing.
You can hold bitcoin for years and let your asset's worth grow the more, it is never still late to hold.
This time, I am thinking that bitcoin may not make it more than $25000 before going back to $20000. I expect bitcoin not to fall below $17000 though.
Hold the BTC. But don't let it take over your life. It is not a problem that you invest in crypto currency but besides that you work in any job or any company so that your life goes well. You have to remember that you have a life apart from your crypto currency. So use your extra money to invest in crypto so that even if bitcoin goes down, you won't lose anything, because you want to hold bitcoin for a long time.If you can hold Bitcoin very tightly then you can profit. Because between 2023 and 2024, Bitcoin can hit $100,000.
