Hi I have been toying with the idea of investing in BTC but have waited due to some investors saying the price will drop to 12 - 16k again. do you think it could still drop to this or are we more likely to move on up to 40k?
thanks in advance.
I believe OP is simply asking that from where price is right now, Do BTC is likely to go lower first in 16K and have a retracement before going higher or it would go directly higher impulsively up to 40K.
The answer is simple.
WAIT.
If you are not sure of what is direction going higher or lower, then simply wait before engaging.
When everything is clear to you and you have built your own conviction, then enter a trade according to that analysis and capitulate the move.
Remember, Trading and investing is 10% buying selling/ 90% waiting. That's is why 90% lose, because they cannot afford to wait. There is more advantage of waiting and that is preserving your capital.
It's okay to not know everything. If there's nothing clear or sure. Wait and demand for more information in the marketplace.
You are a beginner, and your faith in Bitcoin is not strong. You don't know what you actually want, or, shall I say, you don't have any decisions of your own.
There is a saying, "No time is ever too late." Anytime one has the money and decides to invest, that's the right time for the person. We don't need to wait for 12k, or 13k, or 20k, because those figures might never be seen. The more we wait for those price falls, the more likely we are to see a price pump. The low price you see today might never be seen again. Anyone who wants to buy and hodl BTC should actually not be thinking about price; most times, it delays the decision to invest.
If you actually want to invest in Bitcoin, I will advise you to buy when you have the money you are willing to risk; don't invest what you can't afford to lose. We know no money is considered useless or worthless, but always invest in something that won't hurt you the most if things don't actually go in your favor.
I also want to add, that if you already have the convictions right. Have also a plan for risk management. That would save you a lot of money and mental stress. Consider and always accept the risk. DONT FOMO in. Bitcoin will continue to go higher and lower forever. You won't miss any. So don't miss your self FOMOing in every price moves. hope this is clear to you and everyone.
