A bull run does not cancel the dip. Leverage makes the dip fatal.

The reason to trade a crypto bull run is the rise. The reason accounts die in one is the ordinary dip, multiplied. At FxPro a crypto CFD, where the entity lists it, uses margin. A position at the top of the allowed leverage needs only a modest adverse move to eat the free margin. This page, 4 October 2026, does not claim a bull run is on, and it does not quote a Bitcoin target.

The arithmetic, without a fake ticket

You do not need a made-up Bitcoin price. If the position is large relative to the account, a few percent against you is the whole spare margin. Bull runs contain those few percent all the time. They are the pauses between higher highs.

People who want to 'make the bull run count' max the size. That is the trade that does not survive the pause.

What to do instead

Use a fraction of the margin the platform allows. Put the stop where the pause would prove you wrong, and size so that stop is a small piece of the account. Then the rise can pay you without the first red day ending the account.

Confirm the symbol, then rehearse on the demo. Short-hold notes: scalping.

Spare margin is the whole strategy

Leave most of the account unused. A bull run will offer you a reason every day to use the rest. That reason is the trap. The unused margin is what lets the pause pass without a close-out, so the later higher high is still your position.

If the platform lets you lever up to the eye-balls, it is offering a tool, not instructions. You can decline the top of the range.

FAQ

Does a bull run mean I should max leverage?

No. The pauses are part of the rise. Max size is how the pause closes the CFD.

Is crypto leverage the same on every FxPro entity?

No. If the symbol is not in your client area, you do not have it.
