"Daddy, what is a hedged position ?"
Updated
I don't know when my baby might ask this question to me - this day will come - but since I'm sure you probably heard that expression already, I'll try to explain to you guys what it means with the next trade I'm going to take
Hedge a position consists in taking an offsetting position to reduce your risk exposure. For instance you are short and you decide to open a long to hedge your short position or vice versa. That's exactly what I'm willing to do and I'll explain why :
But you can expect at least a retest of previous support in order to convert it into resistance. That is why I feel pretty confident if wehad a bounce from 6300 that we would hit resistance around 6500. We have a bearish OB around 6450 and a breaker around 6530. So this is the zone where I feel comfortable opening a short. Will set my stop loss around 6675 because I wanna protect my trade in case price get a little bit ahead of itself or FOMO kicks in. This will force me to reduce my position size to respect my risk management but I don't mind. I would hate myself to set a stop loss too tight and see price go down after hitting my stop.
I'm thinking to take partial profit around 6100 since it's - almost - the last line of defense for bulls. But I'm not willing to take full profit and thus closing my positio. I'll explain why later :)
*On the other side, I still believe we'll see more upside for Bitcoin 1.13% (see my last Youtube Livestream) so I'm willing to enter a long position.
6100 seems a very good support for bulls since there is quite good confluence down there :
- Daily level (being also the shoulder of a potential inverse Head & Shoulder pattern)
- Breaker
- Optimal Trade Entry (0.705 Fib retracement)
- VPVR High Volume Node ( HVN 4.48% )
I'm also looking to switch back my portfolio mainly to BTC 1.13% in that zone.
I will be targeting previous tops at 6800 even though I will be really expecting a break of these highs if we see a good bounce with volume from 6100. Will take partial profits (20% at most) around these highs.
*If we actually manage to hit 6500 and 6100 I will have 2 - opposite - positions opened. This is what is called a hedged position.
If price dumps below previous swing low at 5743, we will hit my stop on my long but i will have my short running and will profit from that dump.
If price pumps above 6700, we will my stop loss on my short position, but I will have my long running and will profit from that pump.

Bids got filled beautifully. Have a tight stop loss now since I expect market makers to defend their long positions if price eventually dumps. I will re-assess my hedge since we first hit my bids before my asks. I might only take partial profit.
