Been watching BTC's recent price movement, and it's a solid reminder of why I stick with swing trading over scalping. When you've got those larger swings playing out, catching the bigger waves beats grinding out small ticks all day. The chart speaks for itself—these are the moves that actually move your positions. Scalping can work in sideways action, but when Bitcoin's got momentum like this, you're leaving money on the table if you're not positioned for the swing.

Swing trading is indeed much more comfortable, while scalping wears down your mental state.

Swing trading is indeed attractive, but I still believe people should choose based on their own psychological tolerance. Some people just can't handle the anxiety of holding a position overnight.

Hmm... That's quite right, but I still spend every day refining on the 5-minute chart.

Trading in waves is really fun, but small amounts don't make much profit.

Swing trading is indeed popular; the tedious work of small wave trading isn't really worth it.

ngl the whole swing vs scalp debate feels like people just don't understand network effects in price discovery lol. but yeah, riding momentum beats chasing noise—that's just basic adoption curve dynamics

Honestly, in a shaky market, stubbornly fighting over small spreads is really self-torture.

Swing trading is indeed much more comfortable, no need to stare at the screen until your eyes go blind. Just let the bullets fly for a while.
