What is Long?
A long trade means you are betting that the price will increase.
Example:
BTC price is $60,000.
You open a long.
BTC moves to $61,000.
You make profit because price moved up.
Simple meaning:
Long = Buy direction = Profit when price goes up
Traders usually open long positions when:
* Price breaks above resistance
* Market sentiment is bullish
* BTC is holding strong support
* Volume increases during upward movement
* Short sellers may get squeezed
But never open a long only because price is green. Always wait for confirmation.
what is short?
A short trade means you are betting that the price will decrease.
Example:
BTC price is $60,000.
You open a short.
BTC drops to $59,000.
You make profit because price moved down.
Simple meaning:
Short = Sell direction = Profit when price goes down
Traders usually open short positions when:
* Price rejects from resistance
* Market sentiment is bearish
* BTC loses support
* Volume increases during downward movement
* Long traders may get liquidated
But never short only because price is red. Price can suddenly bounce and create a short squeeze
