Not long the same what happen before where it contribute to the fear of the holders and dump what they have to avoid any huge losses from the current market situation before and hopefully this will not happen this year or maybe next since if bear market will strike heavily in the market for sure we will struggle again to break the new ATH or maybe surpass it. But its good thing to see a little recovery right now so this one should people see so that they will not get panic and sell at loss for seeing a bad scenario in the market.
I do not know when a "huge bear season" will happen, it may happen today or it may happen tomorrow, all I know is that there is a good chance we could actually end up with something that will hurt the market eventually and that is definitely a risky business to get in right at this moment if you are a trader.
I get that long term is a good way to approach crypto and that is what I have been doing for a long time and it has been very profitable, but there are too many traders who get in and get out very quickly so I would suggest those people to be very careful during this period. Not that it will definitely drop, maybe it will go up, we have no idea what is going to happen but I know for sure that it is going to be not so risky at all, it will probably be a short term "loss" but if you hold it then in the long term you will profit no matter at what price you buy bitcoin.
Some traders are in here for short-term because they have other priorities to attend to like using some of their profits to their necessary expenses and such. And some who can really afford to hold long term, can actually see the benefit of holding and waiting as the value increase throughout the years. If you are a holder and has the necessity to sell, just sell it when you are in positive side. What I mean is, at least sell it not at a loss. Bitcoin will always have this up and down movement and so with other alts.
Everyone has different strategies and goals when buying Bitcoin, so indeed not everyone decides on a long-term investment in Bitcoin. Although
we know the most effective and safe way to make profit from Bitcoin, is by holding Bitcoin in the long term. Because we know the price of Bitcoin
tends to continue to rise, so the longer we hold Bitcoin, the bigger the profit we make. However, not everyone can hold Bitcoin in the long term,
there are some people who rely on Bitcoin as a source of income to buy their daily needs. So people like that prioritize short-term trading, so that
the profits generated can be used to buy daily necessities. And there's nothing wrong with that, the most important thing when selling Bitcoin is
not losing. The price of Bitcoin is indeed still stuck below the $60k price, and there is no sign that it will recover again above the $60k price.
But if we watch Bitcoin in the last few weeks continue to move between the price of $54k-$58k, this can be used to generate profits for
short-term trading.
