I failed to buy the dip
BitcoinCash price dip
As you are aware the price of BitcoinCash has fallen below $300 just recently and while it has been up for sometime now it is still not above $300 as of now.
So I thought I'll buy the dip this time
How I went about it?
I thought I'll use the flexUSD tokens that I had and sell those for some BCH
I even made a post about it at my NoiseCash at: https://noise.cash/u/nomadghada
Spoiler alert: I failed to convert my flexUSD into BitcoinCash
My SLP tokens
Couple of months ago I thought I want to try the direct interest on on flexUSD, so I converted $10 worth of flexUSD from SEP20 tokens to that of SLP tokens to hold in my bitcoin.com wallet.
I used Coinflex for this purpose and yes I started to see daily interest transactions in my wallet.
Selling my tokens
So why did I decided to sell my flexUSD?
There are 3 main reasons:
Uncertainty regarding SLP tokens - SLP tokens are losing relevance in the world of smartBCH and many of the platforms are dropping support for SLP tokens, so I didn't want to be left holding
Interest on tokens was less than expected - I held my flexUSD tokens for about 1 and half month and received about $0.09 worth of tokens which is way less thaan the advertised 10-20% APY
The price of BCH was falling - I figured I'll buy at low price to get some good BCH to increase my holdings
My failed bid
So I placed my trade order at $267 and realized the CoinFlex doesn't take orders below 2 decimal points so I could only set the order for 0.03 at some $8.-ish price.
Ok I thought still let it be and placed the order and left it sit there over night.
The price of BCH
So the reason I placed my order at $267 was because after my technical analysis of stochastic and Relative Strength Index (RSI) I though it would be a good price to set.
And oh boy was I wrong,
First of all, It reached about $268.-something and second it kept rising ever since.
And I am left with the order still being unfulfilled which I have canceled and placed at a different price which is also unfilled as I write this.
Basically I screwed up.
What's next?
I don't know,
I can either sell at market rate or transfer my flexUSD innto either in SLP or SEP20.
Not sure what I'll do next.
What do you thing I should do?
I always have a local currency in my wallet so I have fund which I can easily access when I need to buy something.
