Recently, I have started trading in this pair and saw that this pair is more volatile than others. Do any one of you trade in this pair? Then, what’s your strategy?
 
I have heard that most of the traders are from Japan, UK and the United States which contributes more than 50% of the trading volume in forex industry.

I live in Asia and saw that Japan has raised interest rates so I said wow, JPY must be below 140 now, lol

Asian currencies are weaker against the US $, including the local currency where I live

BTCUSD tends to be more volatile compared to traditional currency pairs due to several factors. These include its relatively small market size compared to major fiat currencies, higher speculative interest, regulatory uncertainties, and rapid price movements driven by sentiment shifts among investors and traders. Additionally, the decentralized nature of Bitcoin and its susceptibility to external events like regulatory announcements or technological developments can amplify volatility.
 
Looks like it will once again make another all time high or can make opposite to the speculations lets see where it goes now..
 
Trading BTCUSD requires a robust strategy due to its volatility. Some traders employ technical analysis with indicators like Moving Averages or RSI to identify trends and entry/exit points. Others utilize fundamental analysis, considering news events and market sentiment. Risk management is crucial, with stop-loss orders and proper position sizing.
 
Indicators can be good and personally i like EMA instead of moving average however I guess professional traders dont use indicators. they can see support and resistance just by eyeballing the charts.
