This is correct and losing is always be a part of trading that's why if you are in this very volatile market you should be ready to risk but you should know how to minimize the risk since you won't like it when losing a lot though that's why minimizing or handling the risk well is a must.
It was expected already that traders want a decent return when in this volatile market but you need skill that can surpass the volatility and risk in this market.
that's why people who have been in crypto for a long time, especially people on this forum, often suggest investing if you are ready to lose and at least use money that will not be used in the near future. because what I feel so far is as you say. The market is very unstable and especially for December and January now and indeed we must accept this and remain calm so that what we do is not wrong when the market is like this.
the market may be hot and prices continue to fluctuate but we must not get carried away and must be level-headed in determining actions
actually that is not only suggestion inside this forum instead that is universal advise to only invest what you can afford to lose mate,
because investing is the riskiest way to earn (Next to gambling) but of course this is more promising and more reliable than any forms.
but coming back to topic? it is blood bath that i am waiting to invest more for this great creation of all time.
Although we are now in the blood bath, the price is not going below $30k but it fluctuates from $30k-$38k and continues.
When you want to invest in bitcoin, you only need to wait until the price reaches the low price and start to buy and hold and sell if the price increases.
That works so far because the price is up and down many times, giving you time to make a profit.
We should calm down in this situation because we need to have a chance to buy at a low price and sell at a high price.
But we should hold on tight on any circumstances and not just think about the blood bath but how we can use the blood bath for our benefit.
