Which is better long term vs Short term trading?
Zeologic replied to Mdraghib's topic in Forex Discussions & Help
I prefer day trading and swing trading strategies over scalping or short-term trading. While short-term trading does have the potential for faster gains and losses, transaction costs are a key consideration. The more orders, the higher the accumulated transaction costs. Day trading or swing trading is more relaxing for me. -
Everyone’s watching Kanye’s YZY coin stir up headlines, partly for the celebrity and partly for the legal chatter it’s causing. But attention doesn’t always mean long term value. Then I saw what Sapien (SAPIEN) was doing. Instead of just rolling out the token, they hosted a community celebration and put up a 210,000 SAPIEN reward pool. No noise. Just real energy and inclusion. The moment felt different. People weren’t just watching they were taking part. That kind of connection sticks. It brings positive energy into the project from day one. It gives everyday users a chance to win, engage, and talk about the project with pride. This might not create instant price movement, but it does something deeper. It builds real interest, loyalty, and momentum. And that’s something even hype can’t buy.

Aave, the $70B DeFi protocol, has launched on Aptos with liquidity rewards from the Aptos Foundation. A big step that could turn Aptos into a serious DeFi hub as users chase incentives and new yield opportunities. At the same time, BingX is making waves with its $OKB Fixed-Term Wealth Product, giving new users up to 100% APR on their first subscription. Quotas are limited, and it’s strictly first-come, first-served, making this one of the most competitive savings products in the industry. Both moves highlight where crypto is headed: DeFi protocols expanding into new ecosystems and exchanges, offering smarter ways to earn. The question is, are you positioning yourself for both?

Bitcoin ($BTC) is in the middle of a short-term shakeout, with its latest dip looking a lot like the post-halving cool-offs seen in past cycles. Data from CryptoQuant suggests this phase often lasts 2–4 weeks before momentum returns. Amid the chop, traders are turning to ChainSpot 2.0 BingX’s upgraded on-chain trading hub. The new version brings sharper tools for navigating volatility, including unrealized PnL tracking, average cost analysis, and enhanced position management. To celebrate the upgrade, BingX rolled out a ChainSpot 2.0 Event featuring a 15,000 USDT reward pool, a 5 USDT first-trade bonus, and daily participation perks timely incentives for those looking to stay active while the market shakes out. So, what’s the move: stack sats and farm rewards in the dip, or wait for Bitcoin’s next breakout run?

Even as Bitcoin maintains its stature as crypto gold, another cultural asset is emerging, YZY Ye’s token just got YZY/USDT perpetual futures on BingX. That feels like meme coin culture seeking its own gold standard. Just like gold futures let people trade without holding physical gold, YZY futures let traders engage without owning YZY. That broadens participation and can add value perception. But the token launched with heavy centralization 94% in insiders’ hands, and liquidity only in YZY form. Futures amplify control. If insiders exit or signal moves, prices could swing wildly. For YZY to evolve from cultural hype into a form of digital gold, the ecosystem needs more than futures. It needs fairness, transparency, and trust vested token release, open governance, and risk safeguards. Futures are a milestone but for YZY to become cultural gold, it must build real structure and accountability.

Rally Japanese style: #NIKKEI breaks records On August 18, 2025, #NIKKEI hit a new all-time high (43,929). The main driver of growth was the weakening of the yen, which instantly improved export expectations and pushed up automakers: Toyota and Honda were among the leaders. plus positive corporate outlooks and an influx of foreign money amid global expectations of interest rate cuts. Banks and some chip stocks pulled in the opposite direction that day, but the weight of the auto sector and consumer leaders was enough to make the session a “record-breaking” one.

Full promo details are available via the link. #NIKKEI on the rise: 5 keys to growth in 2025: 1. Yen exchange rate ↔ exports. A weak/volatile yen supports the margins and multipliers of exporters (automotive, industrial electronics), so any periods of currency weakness remain a catalyst for the index. 2. Soft global “rate” background. The market is pricing in a high probability of an Fed rate cut; the cheaper dollar and general risk appetite are fueling flows into Japanese stocks, especially beneficiaries of external demand. 3. Corporate reforms and buybacks. Strengthened corporate governance practices, stock market pressure to increase ROE/PB, and growth in share buyback programs remain long-term supports for the rally. 4. Industrial cycle: automotive and “new electronics.” Models with high export leverage (automotive, EV/ADAS components, semiconductor equipment) are benefiting from global fleet renewal and growth in technology CAPEX, which is maintaining the profitability of Nikkei's “core” weights. (Inference based on current trends and index structure; confirmed by the composition of session leaders.) 5. Domestic demand and earnings. Moderate wage growth and improved corporate earnings forecasts for the second half of the year are boosting the resilience of domestic demand — another plus for estimates. The current surge is a classic mix of a weak yen + strong exporters + soft global rates. If corporate reforms and buybacks continue to work and external demand does not “collapse,” the #NIKKEI has a chance to stay close to record levels. FreshForex analysts remind us of the possible risks — a sharp reversal of the yen, delays in trade agreements, and possible tightening by the Bank of Japan — but the underlying backdrop is still playing in favor of the bulls.

CryptoLite started following From Gold to Data, A New Kind of Asset.

I’ve always liked gold because it’s tangible, timeless, and universally valued. But lately, I’ve been curious about how digital assets are trying to create their own “store of value” through utility. One project that caught my eye is Sapien $SAPIEN, which just listed on Bitget. Instead of being another speculative token, its focus is on AI training data rewarding contributors who help verify quality data sets. In a way, it reminds me of how gold is valued not by hype, but by its scarcity and trust. Sapien seems to be trying to do something similar, but in the digital world of AI. I’m not saying it’s the digital gold, but it’s interesting to see projects tying themselves to real-world trends instead of just hype. With AI growing so fast, maybe data quality could become as critical as gold supply is to traditional markets. What do you all think can assets like these ever gain the kind of trust gold holds, or will they always remain in the “high-risk” bucket?

Date: 21st August 2025. Has Gold’s Bullish Trend Lost Its Steam? The price of Gold has been trading within a recurring price range between $3,240 and $3,456 throughout the summer months, leaving traders wondering. Has the commodity, which has witnessed one of the strongest trends of the past 2 years, lost its steam? Most economists believe that Gold will continue to experience a bullish trend throughout the remaining months of 2025. However, technical analysis is not currently indicating upward price movement for the medium to long term. Instead, indications currently point to the range-bound condition continuing, meaning the average price will play a key role in analysis and traders’ targets. Average Price of Range: $3,330.50 XAUUSD Daily Chart Throughout August, the price of Gold has mainly fallen due to peace talks between Russia, the US and Ukraine keeping to a positive tone. The increased likelihood of a ceasefire would boost the market’s sentiment towards risk, pressuring the price of Gold. Economists advise that the price of Gold is likely to come under pressure in the event that the conflict comes to an end, but is not likely to fully correct the gains over the past 2-years. Furthermore, yesterday, the US Department of Commerce broadened its sectoral tariffs, which had previously focused mainly on metals and automobiles. The new measures impose 50% duties on an additional 407 categories of imported goods, including fire extinguishers, building materials, and aluminium or steel-based chemicals. Experts caution that these tariffs could intensify inflationary pressures, as they now cover goods valued at an estimated $320 billion, up from $190 billion. The additional cost, if put into effect, is likely to be passed on to consumers, resulting in inflation. Therefore, easing the monetary policy in the near term will become more difficult for the Federal Reserve. If the Federal Reserve opts not to cut interest rates in September, the price of Gold may witness renewed pressure. Currently, an interest cut remains the main likelihood; however, the possibility of a pause continues to increase. Due to the high producer inflation and new tariffs, investors are contemplating whether the Fed will indeed cut in September. Currently, the Fedwatch Tool’s possibility reading for a ‘pause’ continues to rise to 21%. This is significantly higher than last week’s reading of 7.9%. The ongoing Jackson Hole Symposium may also provide further indications of the future path of interest rates. If a pause by the Federal Reserve continues to become a likely possibility, and the Ukraine-Russia conflict looks on track to reduce tensions. The price of Gold may break the current pattern and decline. The commodity’s main support level can be seen at $3,122.00. Always trade with strict risk management.
