Hey everyone, let’s chat about the latest Bitcoin dip. I saw it hit around $111k and then bounce back to $112k-$113k. I'm thinking of going long with $20 and 20x use. What are your thoughts?

20x use on just $20? Hope you’ve got at least $2k in your account for that. Just remember, there’s no guarantee the price will bounce back up. Be careful with your strategy and check the trends. Could keep dropping longer than you think.

Totally agree with you about the fundamentals pushing the price down. But it’s all a gamble, right? Who knows if it’ll recover to $120k? Just here for the fun of it, really.

Risky move there. If you entered at $111k, you’re already ahead at $113k. But if you’re waiting for a recovery, make sure you know what’s happening first. Major support just broke, gotta be cautious. That pump after hitting $110k? All about liquidity.

Yeah, that use seems high unless you've got a cushion to cover a margin call. I kinda feel like the price could drop more soon. Just my gut feeling, though. I'd stick with a modest 5x short for now.

Make up your mind, dude. Are you going long or short? Your title says short, but your first post is all about a long position.

I just did a 10x with $300. Not crazy, but I’m holding till ATH. Risky for sure, so I set my stop loss. I'm bullish on the idea that the CME gap is still there, and BTC might hit $118k again. Just a thought.

10x on $300 is a major move, and your liquidation price must be super tight if you don’t have a maintenance balance. Setting your stop loss is smart. If BTC does recover to $118k, you’ll be sitting pretty. But with the way things are going, it’s all pretty uncertain right now.

If you’re feeling uneasy about this, maybe keep the use at 10x or lower. It’s not wise to risk too much in an unpredictable market. Starting with a smaller amount can help you gauge the situation before diving in.

C’mon, show us the trade or your account first. I’m against trading unless you’ve got solid reasoning, clear targets, and exit plans. Otherwise, it’s just gambling, right? If you’re going for 20x use, you need at least 2k. Do you have that?

You’re treading on thin ice if you triggered that trade. The price is still around $111k, so not much volatility right now. Honestly, I think it’s a bad time to long BTC this week. It’s been dropping for a couple weeks with no bullish signs.

Just so you know, I bailed on my trade when my stop loss hit. The market keeps dipping today. I could’ve posted my trade history, but why bother? We’re just here to have fun and predict prices.
