BTC has firmly crossed $80,000, and a lot of folks are itching to go short. Just aiming for a quick scalp on a short-term pullback, grabbing one or two points and then running. My take is, since the market and sentiment are both strong, stick to trend trades. I'd rather buy the dip and go long than ever go short. Why? Once a trend is established, it's very hard to reverse in the short term. The current market isn't being driven by a single whale pumping, but by the collective resonance of capital, sentiment, and expectations moving in a positive direction. In this kind of momentum, the risk of trying to short at the top far outweighs the potential reward. Is catching a short-term pullback really that easy? Even if there’s a pullback, would you dare to go heavy? If you miss out, will your mindset crumble? If you get trapped, will you be willing to cut your losses? Most likely, it’s not worth it. In trading, the biggest mistake is trying to guess tops and bottoms. When a trend is in motion, the best strategy is to follow it, buy the dip, and go long. Even if you only capture a third of the trend, it’s far more reliable than chasing those tiny gains from shorts. My current long positions are already in profit! Been holding mainstream coins for two days now—though the growth is slow, at least it’s steady!
