What Are Long and Short in Crypto Trading?
At a fundamental level, long and short are simply two opposite ways of expressing your market bias on an asset such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, or any altcoin.
Going long means you believe price will rise. You commit a portion of capital as margin, often apply leverage, and profit if the market moves upward.
Going short means you expect price to fall. You effectively sell borrowed assets at a higher price and aim to buy them back cheaper later, keeping the difference as profit.
Unlike spot trading, long-short trading allows you to make money in both rising and falling markets. That flexibility is exactly why many traders are drawn to it. But it is also why long and short positions are considered a double-edged sword. Gains are amplified, but so are losses.
Market participants often watch the long/short ratio as a sentiment gauge. When long positions dominate, optimism is high. When shorts pile up, fear or bearish conviction usually takes over.
How Long and Short Work With Margin and Leverage
To truly understand long and short trading, three concepts must be clear from the start. Margin is the amount of money you put up to open a position. Leverage determines how much larger your position is compared to that margin. Liquidation happens when losses eat through your margin and the exchange forcefully closes your trade.
Imagine you have 20 USD and open a long position with 10x leverage. Your position size becomes 200 USD. If price rises by 10 percent, the position gains 20 USD, effectively doubling your initial margin. But if price drops by just 10 percent, the entire margin is wiped out and the position is liquidated.
Short positions behave the same way, only in reverse. If you short an asset with leverage and price falls, profits are magnified. If price rises sharply, liquidation comes just as quickly. In practice, long and short trading means using a small amount of capital to control a much larger position, with outcomes swinging rapidly in either direction.
Risk Management: Cross Margin vs Isolated Margin
On derivatives platforms, traders usually choose between isolated and cross margin. This choice plays a major role in how much damage a single bad trade can do.
With isolated margin, each position has its own dedicated margin. If that position is liquidated, you lose only the amount allocated to it. The rest of your futures wallet remains untouched. This structure makes isolated margin far more forgiving for beginners.
Cross margin works differently. All available funds in your futures wallet are shared across positions. When a trade starts losing heavily, the system automatically pulls in more margin to keep it alive. If price continues moving against you, one bad decision can drain your entire account. Until you fully understand market behavior and your own psychology, isolated margin is generally the safer option.

Noskaņojums: 🔴 Strukturāls sabrukums ar pārdošanas piesātinājumu

📅 2025. gada 1. maijs — Coinbase paziņoja, ka apturēs ☠️ tokena $MOVE tirgošanu “ap pulksten 14:00 ET” 15. maijā. Lēmums tiek pieņemts pēc virknes strīdu par tirgus manipulācijām un iekšējiem pārvaldības problēmām Movement Labs — kas jau izraisījis strauju aktīvu cenas kritumu.

⚠️ Apturēšanas konteksts

Coinbase paziņoja, izmantojot platformu X (iepriekšējo Twitter), ka apturēšana tika balstīta uz "regulāru aktīvu uzraudzību", taču neizteica konkrētu un tiešu iemeslu lēmumam.

Kustības laboratoriju līdzīpašnieks Rushi Manch noliedza jebkādas tiešas saites ar Trampa atbalstīto DeFi projektu World Liberty Financial (WLFI), kas iegādājās $MOVE tokenus 2 stundas pirms galvenā tīkla palaišanas paziņojuma. 🤔

Kas notika?

▪️28. janvāris – WLFI iegādājas MOVE caur CoW Swap.
▪️Pēc 10 minūtēm – Parādās ziņojumi par Kustības pieņēmamajām sarunām ar Elonu Musku.
▪️MOVE atvērtā interese Binance pieaug no 25 miljoniem USD līdz 100 miljoniem USD.

💬 Manch apgalvo, ka komanda nesniedza tokenus un nebija sarunu ne ar Musku, ne $DOGE .

Movement $MOVE apstiprina, ka Rushi Manche ir apturēts no Movement Labs. Šis lēmums tika pieņemts, ņemot vērā notiekošos notikumus un kā trešās puses pārbaude joprojām tiek veikta ar Groom Lake attiecībā uz organizācijas pārvaldību un nesenajiem notikumiem, kas saistīti ar tirgus veidotāju.
Movement Labs, komanda aiz augsta profila slāņa 2 blokķēdes projekta, piektdien paziņoja, ka ir apturējusi līdzīpašnieku Rushi Manche.
Lēmums seko nepārtrauktai trešās puses pārbaudei, kas koncentrējas uz organizācijas pārvaldību un nesenajiem notikumiem, kas saistīti ar tirgus veidotāja rīcību. Šī apturēšana notiek laikā, kad projekts ir pakļauts pieaugošai uzraudzībai, īpaši saistībā ar tā MOVE token.

Viens no visvairāk gaidītajiem Layer 2 projektiem pēdējā laikā – Movement – ir nonācis krīzē tikai pusgada laikā pēc palaišanas. Neseni atklājumi ir atklājuši nopietnu finanšu skandālu, kas saistīts ar MOVE tokenu, ar apsūdzībām par cenas manipulāciju, iekšējo noplūdi un neskaidru tirgus līgumu, kas noveda pie 38 miljonu USD izsistiena tikai pēc vienas dienas iekļaušanas.
