 is the buying and selling of the same or similar asset(s) at the same time across different markets to earn from slight price deviations. This act of purchasing an asset at a fixed price — while simultaneously selling it at a higher price — allows a trader to instantly make profits without any risks. 

While arbitrage trading has long been a staple in traditional financial markets, such as stock and forex, the advent of crypto trading has propelled arbitrage trading to new heights — thanks to the heightened volatility of the crypto market. Additionally, unlike traditional stock markets, crypto markets are traded 24/7, offering more opportunities for arbitrage traders to reap profits from the price gaps across exchanges and markets. 

 across exchanges or within a single exchange. Keep in mind that if you opt to arbitrage trade across different platforms, accessing your profits may prove to be complex, due to the need to transfer your assets between the exchanges, which can take up to several days to complete. On the other hand, arbitrage trading on a single platform is more straightforward — but more competitive as well.

There are multiple arbitrage trading strategies, but the most common ones in the crypto market include funding rates arbitrage, spot-futures arbitrage and futures arbitrage. 

Funding rates arbitrage allows traders to profit from variations in funding rates between 

 contracts. In contrast, spot-futures arbitrage enables traders to profit from price disparities between the spot and 

 for the same asset. Meanwhile, futures arbitrage involves profiting from price discrepancies between futures contracts with different expiration dates.

Bybit Arbitrage is a trading tool that helps traders identify arbitrage trading opportunities in two ways: funding rate and spread. 

The user-friendly interface organizes trading pairs based on either funding rates or spreads in different markets, so that traders can easily spot disparities in funding rate or price across the markets at a glance. 

Bybit Arbitrage is exclusively available to 

 mode. It facilitates arbitrage trading for USDT Perpetual, USDC Perpetual and USDC Futures contracts, thereby allowing you to enjoy arbitrage trading opportunities between USDT 

Spot pairs and USDT Perpetual pairs, or USDC Spot pairs and USDC Perpetual/Futures pairs. 

The Funding Rate Arbitrage feature exploits differences in funding rates between the Spot and Perpetual/Futures markets on the Bybit exchange. With the Funding Rate feature, traders can earn funding fees while simultaneously managing their positions in order to minimize potential losses and maximize gains through positive and negative arbitrage strategies.

Funding rates for the different trading pairs are listed in descending order. This helps traders to easily leverage the interest rate differential between Spot and Perpetual/Futures contracts.

The Funding Rate feature also allows you to 

 orders (with the same amount, but in different directions) in both Spot and Perpetual/Futures, which enables you to earn funding fees while mitigating potential losses (with potential gains).

holders in Futures/Perpetual contracts pay short position holders. You can leverage this situation by executing a positive arbitrage, which involves

 buying a Spot pair and taking a short position in 

Perpetual to earn steady funding fees. Alternatively, if the funding fee is negative, short position holders pay long position holders. In this case, you would perform a negative arbitrage by shorting a Spot pair and going long in a 

The Spread Arbitrage feature helps traders capitalize on price discrepancies between different markets for the same cryptocurrency asset. With this feature, you can easily compare the market prices of an asset traded across various trading pairs and contracts. While Spread Arbitrage may be similar to spot-futures arbitrage, it offers more arbitrage opportunities since it covers a broader range of markets, unlike spot-futures arbitrage, which targets specific markets

With Spread Arbitrage, the aim is to profit from the eventual price convergence as you buy the crypto asset at a lower price in one market (e.g., Spot) and sell it at a higher price in another market (e.g., Futures). 

As the futures price will eventually align with the Spot price when the contract expires, you’ll be able to take advantage of the simultaneous price disparity for the same asset.

In order to trade with Bybit Arbitrage, you’ll first need to

Sharky is a Solana-based lending and borrowing DeFi solution that utilizes NFTs as loan collateral.

Cryptocurrency lending and borrowing has always been a prominent niche of the decentralized finance (

) industry, championed by platforms like Aave (

). A much rarer variant of DeFi borrowing and lending is based on non-fungible tokens (

Sharky.fi, or simply Sharky, is a Solana-based lending and borrowing protocol that uses NFTs as collateral to facilitate the DeFi processes on the network. By putting up NFTs as collateral, users can borrow funds via short-term loans in Solana's native SOL tokens. For lenders, the platform is also a great way to earn high APY rates in just 7 to 14 days, while having their loaned funds protected by the NFTs.

Having established itself as the leader of NFT-based lending and borrowing on Solana, the Sharky project has ambitious plans to integrate two more highly popular crypto asset types — Ordinals and real-world assets (RWAs).

 (SHARK) is a lending and borrowing app on the 

 (SOL) blockchain that lets users provide NFTs as collateral to access short-term loans in SOL tokens.

 Lenders can view NFTs offered as collateral, and make loan offers secured by their preferred NFTs.

Although Sharky's public launch on the Solana mainnet dates back to April 2022, the platform operated without its 

, SHARK, for its first two years in the market. The SHARK token was eventually launched in mid-April 2024.

Using its innovative business concept, Sharky quickly established itself as the leader of NFT lending. According to the project’s team, Sharky has a 90% share of the NFT lending market on Solana and has issued more than 1.4 million NFT loans.

Following the recent launch of its SHARK token, the project aims to integrate additional crypto asset types in the future. These include 

 (RWAs). Another ambitious product type considered for future implementation on the platform is uncollateralized consumer loans.

As a lender on Sharky.fi, you can browse NFTs from a variety of collections offered on the platform and make a loan offer for potential borrowers. The collections available on Sharky include the platform's own 

 collection, Mad Labs, Solana Monkey Business (SMB), Tensorians, Namaste and more. Lenders’ offers are shown to potential borrowers on the platform, who then choose the best offer based on their borrowing needs.

The NFT provided by the borrower is used as collateral, and the lender makes their funds available in SOL tokens. Lenders earn interest on the funds, with the loan duration typically between 7 and 14 days. Interest rates, naturally, will vary depending upon on-platform activity. Usually, 

 for active loans range between 120% and 220%, though they can go up to 360%. As such, Sharky loans are an excellent way for lenders to earn some serious interest quickly. If a borrower fails to repay the loan in full, the NFT used as collateral is transferred to the lender.

For borrowers, the Sharky platform is an excellent opportunity to access SOL funds for short-term needs quickly and flexibly using their NFTs, rather than cryptocurrency, as collateral. The best part of the platform's borrowing mechanism is that you remain in possession of your NFT during the loan period as a borrower. While your NFT is used as collateral, its ownership isn't transferred to the lender while the loan is active. The ownership transfer may only happen at the end of the loan period if you fail to repay the loan in full.

Maintaining the ownership of your NFT allows you to keep using it on various DeFi and other apps for purposes such as staking or satisfying 

 eligibility requirements, among other potential uses.

Sharx is the platform's own NFT collection. One of the most popular collections used in Sharky's lending and borrowing operations, sharx is made up of 10,111 adorable shark characters. Purchasing a sharx NFT not only opens up borrowing opportunities but also entitles you to upgrade or boost your Chowder points, rewards that are used in Sharky's loyalty program. 

As a sharx holder, you're entitled to the airdrop of Sharky.fi’s governance token, SHARK, and you can also stake sharx to earn FISHY tokens.

The newly launched SHARK token is envisioned as the platform's governance asset, with a total supply of 100 million. As of the time of writing in late April 2024, only some specific details on the actual governance processes powered by SHARK are available. Thus, the token's actual use in on-platform governance is expected to be outlined in the future.

SHARK will be airdropped in two phases, with 4.25% set aside for the first phase and 3.5% for the second. Of the former, 70% is allocated to its community, with the remaining 30% is distributed to partner communities. Meanwhile, the second phase is held as a staking pool event with a lockup duration of 30 to 60 days exclusively for OG, new users and sharx holders.

 of Sharky. Unlike the brand-new SHARK token, FISHY was issued back in 2022 at the start of the platform's operations. FISHY can be earned by staking sharx NFTs, accumulating reward points and participating in Sharky's social media campaigns. The token can be used to boost sharx NFTs, which in turn can earn you additional Chowder points. FISHY also gives you access to NFT raffles and auctions held on Sharky.

The SHARK token can be bought on Bybit through a Spot pair with USDT (

). Additionally, you can also take part in Bybit's current campaigns for the token for the chance to grab a share of the 

, which includes a Token Splash event featuring 456,000 SHARK through Apr 30, 2024, 9AM UTC, and a Lucky Draw with 58,000 SHARK in rewards through Apr 30, 2024, 9:59AM UTC.

Lending and borrowing using NFTs as collateral is a novel concept that has earned Sharky leadership positions in this niche. As more platforms adopting this business model emerge, the competition in the field is likely to intensify. However, as of now, Sharky remains the absolute leader of the Solana-based NFT lending and borrowing market. 

As NFTs experience a resurgence in popularity following the post-2021 dip, DeFi solutions that make innovative use of these assets, such as Sharky, stand to benefit. Later in 2024 and beyond, we’ll likely hear more about NFTs being used as legitimate collateral in crypto finance — a new trend helped to no small degree by the Sharky platform.

Bybit Dual Asset Mining is a non-principal protected investment product with floating returns. Users who deposited crypto can earn an enhanced yield. Learn more.

Dual Asset is a short-term speculation vehicle that lets you capitalize on small price movements in the market. All you have to do is predict the direction of a given crypto asset, such as BTC, ETH or MNT, within a preset time frame. Upon maturity, your returns will be in the form of either USDT or your chosen crypto asset, depending on the outcome of your trade.

Bybit Dual Asset 2.0 is an enhanced version of the predecessor focusing on higher returns on capital for traders with better investment flexibility. Traders could customize their orders by entering different directions of the market trend based on their predictions to enjoy high-interest yields even if the predicted asset price did not trigger.  

Understanding Buy Low, Sell High on Bybit Dual Asset 2.0

 function on Bybit Dual Asset 2.0 refers to a product subscription in which traders anticipate the chosen digital asset to settle at a low targeted price at a predetermined time range. Here’s a user case scenario to help to visualize the product function: 

Alex chooses to buy BTC/USDT Dual Asset, and he will be using USDT as an underlying asset for the subscription to buy BTC at his desired lower crypto price. The yields vary depending on the settlement date, which ranges from 1 to 5 days. Assuming Alex opts for a 1-day subscription with 110% yields in APY, he is entitled to claim rewards in two different scenarios: 

 When the asset target price is reached  

, he will successfully purchase BTC at his desired price with his subscribed USDT and interest income.

His returns will be calculated with the formula provided below: 

 (Subscription Amount + Interest) / Target Price 

 Subscription Amount x APY x Subscription Period (in days)/365 

1,000 + ( 1,000 × 110% × 1/365) / 21,000 = 0.04776 BTC

Assuming the BTC price is $23,000 when cash out, Alex’s gross return on investment for the chosen Dual Asset subscription would be $1,098.48. 

 When the asset target price fails to reach  

, the target crypto will fail to be purchased, and you’ll receive your subscription amount and interest income in USDT.

Assuming the settlement price is higher than the target asset price, settling at $21,500. Alex’s return on investment will be calculated as below: 

1,000 + (1,000 × 110% × 1/365) = 1,003.0137 USDT

Even though Alex failed to purchase BTC at his desired price, he still earned rewards on his contributed USDT in the Dual Asset pool. It is still a win-win situation for Alex, as he did not lose any money for opportunity costs. 

: In both cases, Alex will still earn interest on his investment in the form of USDT. 

, in which traders anticipate selling the chosen digital assets at a higher targeted price within a predetermined date. Here’s a user case scenario to help to visualize the product function: 

Alex chooses to sell BTC/USDT Dual Asset, and he will be using USDT as an underlying asset for the subscription to sell BTC at his desired crypto price at a higher anticipated price. The yields vary depending on the settlement date, which ranges from 1 to 7 days. Assuming Alex opts for a 1-day subscription with 150% yields in APY, he is entitled to claim rewards in two different scenarios: 

 When the asset target price of $24,000 is reached  

, he will successfully sell his BTC at his desired price and receive USDT in return.

 (Subscription Amount + Interest) x Target Price

Assuming the settlement price is higher than the target asset price, settling at $24,000. Alex’s return on investment will be calculated as below: 

1 + (1 × 150% × 1/365) × 24,000 = $98.6301

Alex’s return on investment would be a total of 24,098.6301 USDT, including his capital of 24,000 USDT and the yields. 

 When the asset target price failed to reach, settling at $23,000. 

, he fails to sell his crypto at the target price and will receive yields in BTC as a return. 

When converting 1.0041 BTC to USDT at $23,00 per BTC, Alex will receive 23,094.30 USDT, including the yields.

Cryptocurrencies notoriously volatile, and to excel in crypto trading would require in-depth strategic planning and technical analysis to secure consistent profits. Among all, momentum trading is used by traders and investors alike to buy an asset with an uptrend price and sell them when the asset’s price starts to lose its momentum.

The strategy reflects the expression as the “trend is your friend” perfectly well. Of course, trading comes with risks but momentum trading gives traders more control and fewer potential failure points.

Today you’ll learn what is momentum trading and the risks it possesses.

Momentum trading is a trading style traders use to assess the strength of an asset’s current trend to buy an asset while the price is rising and sell it at an assumed peak price. The rationale behind momentum trading is if there is enough force driving a price move, then it will continue to move in the same direction for a moment.

With the concept of “buy low, sell high” in mind, traders tend to seek advantages from the volatile market for short-term gains through a consistent buy and sell action by following the trend signals.

For example, bitcoin is hovering around $54,000 but generally is in an uptrend price, trader A would place a buy order to catch the wave and take profit at an assumed price of $56,000 before it the wave crashes. Trader A would then repeat the same momentum trading strategy in the hope to catch another wave for the same or other assets.

In physics, when an object moves in a particular direction, it continues to do so until an external force interferes in its motion and changes its direction. The same theory applies in trading — an asset tends to move in a specific direction until something triggers the market to react differently.

For example, when a cryptocurrency increases in price, it attracts more attention from both retail and institutional traders. As a result, it pushes the price even higher. Sometimes the uptrend creates a fear of missing out (FOMO) effect, and the price continues to increase for much longer than it would actually do based on 

. The uptrend may continue until a large number of sellers or whales believe that the price is overbought and doesn’t reflect the intrinsic value.

Hence, they open short positions en masse. When the 

 happens, and momentum traders exit the market.

However, if the new downtrend is gaining traction, momentum traders may enter the market again. But at this time, they go short. In this way, momentum traders can benefit from both trends with great success.

The first task of a momentum trader is to assess a trend’s strength before opening a position. That is to facilitate risk management planning that addresses the market volatility, price fluctuations, and unexpected momentum breaks.

The strategy involves the analysis of three fundamental metrics. These are:

The volume suggests how many traders have opened positions in the direction of the trend in a given period based on the number of assets traded. For example, if the number of assets traded is high, we may assume that the trend is healthy and gaining momentum since there might be many traders involved. Still, sometimes the trading volume can be manipulated by whales. That means financially capable traders can buy or sell large amounts of the asset.

Momentum traders prefer volatile markets to gain from the short-term ups and downs, and cryptocurrencies, including BTC and ETH, are the most suitable asset group. Still, momentum trading involves a precise timing to the opening and closing of a trade.

Finally, momentum trading is closely related to the 

 selected by a trader since the trend is making sense only within a specific timeframe. For example, Bitcoin price can increase on the hourly chart, but that may be a temporary swing as it declines. If the trend on several timeframes coincides, then this considers as a stronger momentum.

What Are the Characteristics of Momentum Trading?

Before conducting technical and fundamental analysis for momentum trading, traders should know that there are two main approaches to implement momentum trading strategy — 

This strategy refers to the performance comparison of an asset with one another. In which, a trader prefers buying outperforming assets or securities rather than overall underperforming securities.

 emerge in early 2021, and they outperformed Bitcoin and other peers. Relative momentum traders would invest in relevant 

In April 2021, Bitcoin regained its dominance and rallied to its all-time high of $63,000, while other coins haven’t shown similar returns. In this case, momentum traders would favor Bitcoin due to its stronger momentum.

It occurs when traders analyze the price of a cryptocurrency or any other asset separately. They compare the current price of the coin with its only past performance.

For example, the Bitcoin price has accelerated and the value increased to over $61,000 suggests that positive momentum is there, and traders would be interested in going long until the trend is reversing.

For momentum traders, technical analysis is critical because it helps traders to define the market trend and refine the trading strategies. Once you identify your ideal momentum indicator, it’s fairly easy to determine the market entry and exit points precisely.

The average directional index (ADX) is probably the simplest and most popular momentum indicator to determine the strength of a trend. The purpose of ADX is to evaluate momentum for better judgment in an asset. 

Basically, ADX is an oscillator, and its calculations are sophisticated but effective for price trend analysis. You should know that it reflects the strength of a price trend on a graph whose line fluctuates between 0 and 100. When the reading dips below 30 suggests that the price is moving sideways. As the ADX breaks above 30, it means that the price is trending. Ultimately, the higher the ADX goes, the stronger is the trend in a particular direction. 

However, do note that the ADX doesn’t show whether a trend is bullish or bearish as the indicator is focusing on momentum alone.

Moving averages (MAs) are the oldest and most common technical indicators out there. They are popular for decades to analyze all kinds of assets, and it’s all for good reasons. Part of the trend indicators group, MAs, cut the price action’s noise to smooth volatility that confuses traders and displays the general trend.

Traders use MA to calculate the average of a cryptocurrency price movement over a given period. For momentum traders, moving averages are important because they can show whether a trend continues its direction or tends to go sideways. It is visually apparent as the MAs follow the price action.

Traders would generally use two MAs with different periods. When the shorter MA crosses the longer MA, then the existing trend may be reversing, and momentum traders would be interested in closing positions.

The relative strength index (RSI) is one of the most popular oscillators, which acts as a momentum indicator. It calculates the size and magnitude of the latest price changes.

The RSI line is plotted on a separated chart below the price action and fluctuates between 0 and 100. If the RSI goes below zero, it shows an oversold level, suggesting that the current downtrend might reverse. 

On the flip side, if the RSI goes above 70, the market enters an overbought level, meaning that the current uptrend is losing momentum and might gradually turn into a downtrend or move horizontally. Thus, momentum traders should be on alert whenever the RSI is above 70 or below 30, as the 

 is reaching oversaturation, and the trend is changing.

Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) is a bit more sophisticated. It behaves both like momentum and trend-following momentum indicator. The MACD merges two exponential moving averages (EMAs), and its result is calculated by subtracting the 26-period EMA from the 12-period EMA.

However, the two lines displayed on the MACD chart are not the two EMAs used by the indicator. Instead, one of the lines is the MACD line, and another one is the signal line, which can determine changes in price momentum and provide buy or sell signals. There is also a histogram, which represents the difference between the MACD line and the signal line.

When the two lines depart from each other, momentum is considered more substantial, and traders can rest assured that the current trend would continue.

Stochastic is yet another reliable oscillator not only in momentum trading but in swing or day trading too. While it possesses a similar trait and functionality to RSI, it uses an entirely different calculation methodology. In fact, the indicator compares the most recent closing price to the range of its previous prices in a given period.

It is plotted on a separate chart the same as the RSI and fluctuates between zero and 100. Stochastic also displays overbought and oversold levels, but at this time they are considered above 80 and below 20, respectively. This momentum indicator has two lines — the stochastic line, which ranges between the overbought and oversold levels, and the signal line, which can cross the indicator line to anticipate trend reversals.

So, traders would be interested to exit the market when the two lines cross or when the indicator maintains within the overbought or oversold zones.

The commodity channel index (CCI) is a momentum indicator used to determine a trend’s strength. The indicator calculates the difference between the current price and the historical average price for a given period.

When the CCI is above zero, positioned at the middle of the CCI chart, it indicates that the price is above the historical average. 

When the CCI is below zero, then the price is below the average. If the CCI goes higher than 100, it suggests that the price is well above its historical average, and the uptrend is strong.

The Stochastic Momentum Index (SMI) is an improved version of Stochastic, which pays more attention to closing prices. It measures the distance of the current closing price related to the recent high/low range median. It is also used to determine overbought and oversold levels.

There are many momentum strategies that involve several technical indicators or chart patterns to provide buy or sell signals. Perhaps, one of the simplest but still reliable strategies that you can test on your trading platform.

For this, you will need to set an exponential moving average (EMA) with period 19 and the ADX indicator.

You can exit the market manually when the price crosses EMA. Don’t forget to check the volume from time to time. The higher volume suggests stronger momentum, thus signaling a more accurate indicator to buy.

On the contrary, if you intend to go short with this strategy, you should meet the following conditions:

The Benefits and Limitations of Momentum Trading

This trading style is suitable for beginners because of its simplicity. Above all, momentum trading can be profitable if you caught the momentum at a right time. Besides, it works well in any timeframe and thus, suitable for both day traders and swing traders.

On the flip side, momentum trading can be risky as it purely relies on market information and trends. Traders can be taken by surprise by the unexpected trend reversals. Depending on the securities you’ve chosen, momentum trading is not the best fit for leveraged securities due to the complex underlying futures markets.

Also, prices can fluctuate up and down without any prior signals due to unexpected events or large trades from whales.  

To succeed with momentum trading, you have to apply proper risk management techniques and stick to the strategy you choose.

Here are a few aspects that you should consider:

You can start momentum trading by following these simple steps:

Make sure to take advantage of the analytical tools and risk management techniques to secure consistent profits.

All in all, momentum trading is one of those universal strategies that are suitable for both beginners and advanced traders. It works well in any timeframe higher than H30. Thus, it can be implemented by both 

. But the trading results also highly depend on your risk appetite and investment objectives. Ultimately, you should trade with a style that suits you best.

Another major benefit is that momentum trading is backed by a lot of technical indicators that were designed precisely to determine the strength of a trend.
