some long and short term hodlers took profits from their investment when the new ATH was created. Now, some investors who didn't take out profits when the ATH was created are waiting anxiously to see another new ATH this year before the bull run begins so that they can utilize the opportunity.
I don't think that it's true that people generally take profit from there stacked bitcoin just because Bitcoin hit a new ATH. Regardless of wether you're a short term or long term investor, your concern isn't just about Bitcoin getting to a new ATH and that we have a new ATH doesn't necessarily mean that you should take your profit or sell off your holding. The difference between the recent ATH that we just had not long ago and the current Bitcoin price of $69k is just $4k which means that if someone had stacked his Bitcoin to the point he would have probably dimed fit to take his profit, it wouldn't be out of place if the fellow took his profit at the time when Bitcoin was at an ATH of $73k or now that it's at $69k. What I'm saying in essence is that the criteria for taking your investment profit isn't just that we have a new ATH or not, as long as you continue HODling your Bitcoin, you will be see several ATH in the future and will be in a very comfortable point that would tempt you to sell off your holding but you've got to know that what's more important about Bitcoin investments is that you have a good amount of Bitcoin such that even if Bitcoin doesn't climb to high in terms of its volatility, the least amount of percentage difference that's added to the price of Bitcoin during your accumilation phase would put you in a good profit region.
Is it really necessary to be anxious for a new ATH to be created or just keep hodling and discard whether a new ATH happens or not?
understand that Bitcoin is iether becoming more bullish or getting more bearish as time progresses. While the bullish period is the best time to consider taking profit, the bearish seasons aren't a bad time. Bearish season are corrections that allows you to buy Bitcoin at a cheaper rate so rather than becoming anxious that it's taken time before bitcoin breaks a new ATH, wouldn't it be nice to use those bearish season to stack as much Bitcoin as your capacity is able to carry? It's actually called
Buying during the DIP. whike you anticipate a bull, don't fall to make the best out of the DIP.
Remember that the rate of profitability of the bull is dependent on how best you made you of the bearish season. If you stacked little Bitcoin during the bearish seasons and only spent your time being anxious of the price of Bitcoin, when it gets bullish you wouldn't have enough Bitcoin should there be a reason to sell at all.
And is it also a good practice to be taking out profits from your Bitcoin investment each time a new ATH is achieved?
and how much bitcoin would you have left after taking the profit the third time and then it goes further to a much higher ATH? You can't always take your profit out because Bitcoin has a new ATH, it's unnecessary and tells of how short termed you're with your investment.
