A long position in trading signifies an investor’s purchase of an asset with the expectation that its price will rise. Holding a long position means the investor profits if the asset’s value increases and incurs a loss if the value decreases. This strategy is fundamental in both traditional and digital asset markets, reflecting a bullish outlook on a particular asset. It represents a direct ownership or a contractual agreement to buy an asset at a future date.
