It shouldn't matter much if your are investing for a long term as your investment most likely will be profitable at the end putting into consideration the type of coins you invested in  coins with utilities like Bitcoin, Ethereum and maybe BNB can always be profitable on the long run but those only been hyped are not to be held or you will regret it because they usually will get dumped after getting so hyped up so newbies rush into it with fomo meanwhile early investors are taking profit.

There are many coins that are yet to reach their previous all time highs and I do not think they will ever reach that price again because they have lost the momentum they had when they were just been hyped, with that in mind, know coins you should trade and that you should hold.

almost everyone has experienced a situation like this where they regretted after selling or regretted not selling so my advice is better to set your profit target and don't care about anything that happens after you make a decision because greed often makes us regret
I am that person as always! I don't know if there's a magic on it that whenever I sell, after that, the price of rises. Isn't that a type of sorcery? Just kidding.
But that's the reality that when I sell, price rises. Whether it would be from the price of ATH or not. And whenever we sell, it's always to catch up the ATH so that there's no regret since after that the price will start to fall.

As long as you profited from your selling position it's not bad even the value continue to rise high, profits still a profit as good traders always look for another opportunities and never to look back, it will just delay the progress if you continue to dwell with that miss opportunities, try to enhance your knowledge it will broader your anticipation and in the next ride you'll be able to maximize your benefits.

Learn and keep learning. That's how we should treat this venue of investment, keep moving forward for more profitable trade to achieve.

Of course, I will regret it, moreover when the price dropped very suddenly and missed the chance to sell in the ATH because of my greediness. What I regret is because:
- Why I was so greedy
- Why I lose the chance to take profits with a higher amount
- Why I should panic when the price keeps dropping and then take profits even the amount is small

Regret will be always there. That is why we are learning from our own experince, not to be greedy again, always set a target, not really wanting to get higher and higher prices again. If it is enough, just take profits because we don;t know even it will rise up again or not.

It's not easy to buy at the bottom and sell at the high. Because, our calculations do not always give accurate results. Luck doesn't always smile on us. Best: Buy incrementally and sell incrementally (continue to buy as prices fall, continue to sell as prices rise). So you make the best sales on average.

As long as you decide to sell at ATH or under ATH as long as it is profitable without any regrets,
Of course, if you could sell your coins and got enough profits, doesn't matter whether in ATH or under ATH. The problem is when you bought in ATH, then you still hold the coins till today. I also experienced it, and I guess there are many people who have the same problems. For the people who experience it, they must regret NOT selling in ATH. But surely we must have another chance to sell it as long as the coins are good coins. At least, the chance probably comes in the next Bullrun that people predict in 2025. How about you? Do you experience it or not?

It often become a good opportunity when you sell at a peak and after that the correction come and you buy again with low price but many people miss that opportunity who then regret but I do not regret when I miss that opportunity because I do not do greed and remain satisfied with my current amount of coins and I know in the future the price will grow again to another ATH and my current coins are enough to give me enough profit. With this thought I keep myself tension free.

What is your views and conditions at that time?
No one knows what the peak is going to be, so what's  there to regret? What if you thought that the price has reached ATH, you sold, but then you see that the price is going for another ATH. Will you be regretting? Don't. Instead, set a profit goal. Keep holding until you reach your profit goal. Doesn't matter if the ATH is going to happen or not. If you have made your profit and you are ready to sell, then sell. Reinvest if you want (and if you are able to afford), hold and then sell again. Keep doing this and you will be making some good profit. Remember, you should only regret if you make a loss because you sold when you didn't have to.

I do not have any such regrets, but mind you that it could be as a result of the fact that I hodl Bitcoin, and I do not plan to sell in the close future, and also because it is a long term project that thus if there is a correction, I just accumulate more and watch it rise back up again. But all that can only be applicable when you're holding a long term sustainable coin, but if it's for pump and dump or low value coins, I'm pretty sure I'd regret if I don't sell when I ought to, and that's only cause many of such coins pump then dump later and could possibly not rise again, so if you're in possession of a coin you do not so much believe in, best thing to do is to sell when you have accrued profit.

I fell into such trap of not selling at peaks on several occasions, infact even more as a crypto trader, it is an experience that is very annoying, atimes it's due to greediness on my part, however I had learnt my lessons and seek more knowledge to avert an occurrence and to determine the appropriate period of selling at peak with the aid of some technical indicators like RSI and Bollinga Band.
Moreso it's quite unfortunate that some newbies buys at the peak consequently the price dump and they ended up losing after a massive dump in the price of that particular crypto.

It's not that easy of a mindset, OP if you even care. For newbies, the usual term "FOMO" becomes common to them when it comes to those situation. Whatever ROI that they had missed due to another ATH caused them to panic to immediately buy because why not right? It keeps them thinking that there will be another ATH. Don't believe me? It came from my experience when I was still starting in crypto and it was a truly horrendous experience.

Good thing I wasn't fully committed yet to crypto that time.
For newbies the situation really becomes very worst some time because they often invest in scam coins with in the rush to get the profit. They often do these regrets and they often miss. But with time they learn to remain calm and do not rush and they then watch everything first then learn and after that take decision.
I guess not just in crypto, but in all types of investments, we often create wrong decisions at first but as we go on, we learn to understand why did it happen and becomes more calm and watchful on the market. Yes, the given situation will really make us to feel regrets because we miss a good chance to sell, but does regretting helps us in another way? I guess no. So we should change our mindset and just be contented on whatever profits we have at the moment and just sell.  Crypto is unpredictable so there is no guarantee that we can make more profits in the next days to come, especially if the market suddenly crash. So as much as possible, sell when we see good opportunity to make profits, as long term hodling is not always profitable in the long run.

Even if you did not sell your coins at high, then after a certain time you will see that the coin has adjusted below your sale price, giving you the opportunity to buy it at a lower price. So do not worry about it, because few people can sell at high and buy at low.

Selling at the the precise moment of the ATH is simply impossible for most people, those that did were lucky and nothing more, they can say their analysis told them to sell at that point but when we have millions of people doing the same then it is obvious that a few people will be lucky enough to sell at the ATH.

So do not worry about it, did you obtained profits with your trade? If the answer is yes that is all what matters, maybe you left some money over the table when selling when the price was facing a correction but that is normal, as no one can sell at the absolute top and buy at the bottom with regularity.

Doesn't make sense if you sell at peak and then wait for the price to go lower again and re-invest. Why not just go long term, and see how long you can hold and wait for at least 2 bull runs before you sell your coin to maximize your profit?

At least with this strategy you don't need to time the market during it's first bull run. I know it's going to be tempting to sell, but it's hard to time the market as well. That's why it's really better just to hold on our coins for a long time.
Waiting and holding continuously is more safe way to get the profit for me but there are people who are not satisfied with the number of coins they have. They often think of the strategy that if they will sell at ATH and will buy back at low then they will get high. They do not know that when will the price bounce back but when they see then they regret. For them your suggestion is working.

That would be a good strategy too. But i prefer to sell when an ATH comes because it gives me more profits if i see my investments are moving. But since its hard to predict if the current price is already its new ATH, so this is the time when an investor should set its goal price when to sell so that we can never be mislead. Aside from avoiding making regrets, we can also seize another opportunity during a correction to buy back the coins that have lower value and which we see that they have the potentials to grow and be more valuable in the future.

If someone have more money then they have to buy some more coins along with their present as the price in the long term will increase and then after another rise they have to sell only of those fiat with which they bounce the second and the remaining coins will be their profit. for example if they bought of $1000 then after getting the profit if they want to withdraw their money then they have to withdraw only $1000 the remaining coins will be their increase in the number of previous coins. That is the best alternative if somone miss a chance.

After knowing I missed the ATH, of course I feel bad for not selling my coins. But that is something we can't predict before it happens, so there isn't much to do about it. If I knew bitcoin was going to crash after hiting 69,000$ I would have sold everything and invested all my profit again when it reached 40,000$ later.
However, since it's not possible to time market's fluctuations accurately, the best to do is to keep holding always thinking on long run returns. Personally I prefer to regret for not selling at ATH than regret for selling it for despair, fear or anxiety on the wrong moment.

Even if your mind have accepted it, there'll be small regret of missing the opportunity. I've personally experienced, opportunity missed is missed forever. I missed it during the year 2018, later I sold for a very low price. Till date the altcoin in which I missed the opportunity haven't reached its previous ATH. If there is no need for money, then this won't be a regret or makes you tensed. Most of the time the regret won't be on the growth, but on the timeline. Because, none knows how long we need to hold.

Most of the time people miss the opportunity not on greed, but upon the belief that the specific altcoin will grow even high.
People are missing chances because they think its not yet the right time, and because greed is there.  So once greed controls you, you will keep on missing chances  because you become more emotional and you tend to lose your common sense and self-control. And in the end, you will regret what you did. However, if we can be more focused on the our goal, then we should always know that selling at a peak is always advisable. But if you miss that, do not make regrets, instead, motivate yourself more so you can hold the coins more and by this time, have your own time frame when to sell so you can enjoy the profits and use it to buy more coins again when the market is at its bear season.

It's okay to miss the dip when you've sold at the peak. We have our responsibilities and obligations that we should fulfill and that's why if others who have sold at the peak didn't manage to buy back at a lower price. It's because of those important things that they have to spend their profits.
Instead of buying at low, they're spending it for those matters which is understandable and someone who's going through with that situation should be proud of theirselves.
