US Shutdown Is Over - I Opened a BTC Futures Long
The record for duration has been broken, and I’m sketching out what could happen through year-end. I expect:
- Macro stats with weak labor market numbers and a slowing economy (retail earnings are hinting at this)
- Consequently, despite Powell’s speech after the last meeting, I think the Fed will have to cut rates once more this year
- I also kind of overlooked the potential approval of altcoin ETFs.
Overall, these are mostly bullish signals. I opened a BTC long at 101,893 on futures with a small notional but high leverage. If we go down, it’ll get liquidated quickly - but the amount is small. If we go up, the potential profit could be solid thanks to the leverage. It’s a new idea for me, so let’s see how it goes. The initial plan is to take profit somewhere around 109k+, but below 110k.
If anyone wants to copy this, please, think it through for yourself first and DYOR
