I read the news about the attacks in Iraq when BTC was at 8080$ , and i bought.
Then indeed the price rose to 8300 - 8450 a few hours later , confirming that when there is uncertainty , political tensions and possibility of a war, bitcoin is considered a safe asset like gold.
I would have profited at that point, if i sold.
The price remained @ 8300 for 12 hours, then it dipped to 7850 before my eyes, i got anxious, and i sold at 7900.
The reason of the dip?
I think because the news are saying that Iran stands no chance against U.S., so the people changed their mind about the possibility of a war.
Is that the reason for the dip in your opinion?
The gold price had the same behavior in the past 24 hours or so.
Also, was my emotional reaction right?
In that very moment, i honestly thought the price may dip to 7000 or below again sooner or later, i exactly don't know why. I felt it was just a temporary pump and dump due to a false climate of uncertainty ( since Iran is unlikely to start a war against U.S., but the people temporarily thought so).
But as soon as i sold, the price bounced and now it is at 8060.
So i am not sure my reaction was right.
What do you think?
I think you are a panic person. in investing in bitcoin and cryptocurrency we must be calm and not easily panic. bitcoin price fluctuations are common. You have to analyze and wait for some time, don't be easy to buy and sell bitcoin. take a look at the bitcoin movement.
and in my opinion to make a profit in investing bitcoin at least we have to wait and hold bitcoin for some time for about 6 months. at least wait until bitcoin has increased by 10%.
