If you want to buy, you place a Stop Order on a cryptocurrency if the current price situation does not convince you. With a Stop Order, you intend to buy only if the cryptocurrency shows clear signs of rapid and sustained growth. This sign is often considered by traders as the moment when the price breaks the "resistance" level.
If you want to sell, you place a Stop Order on a cryptocurrency if the current price situation does not convince you. With a Stop Order, you intend to sell only if the cryptocurrency shows clear signs of weakness and sudden collapse. This sign is often considered by traders as the moment when the price falls below the "support" level.
