Topic: I missed the bottom or i have time to invest - page 3. (Read 852 times)

So many questions, in fact you can answer yourself because everything regarding investment should be decided based on the knowledge gained by studying the market, not just asking.


DCA or directly at once it's up to you.
Invest as soon as possible even though the price is rising but this is still relatively low if you look at predictions for the next few years, and also not because of predictions but Bitcoin always has good fundamentals, and coupled with good momentum the price will fly high.
Only those who believe that Bitcoin will do very well in the years to come will jump right into the action by investing, but if constantly asking if it's the right time to start proves doubtful that BTC will be a profitable investment.

As per Bitcoin prospects it may be more bullish in coming days. But 6 months or 1 year is not suitable time frame you mentioned for investing in Bitcoin. Because to invest in Bitcoin you must invest for a long time. Otherwise you may loss. And don't think you're missing the bottom either. Because the market can turn at any time. Both negative and positive issues are involved here. But I would suggest investing in bitcoins at this point rather than altcoins. Over a long period of time your investment will return which may not happen in any other currency.

Right, there is always an opportunity to buy, I still remember when someone asked if it was too late to buy when the price was past $ 50k, then I suggested buying because the opportunity price will continue to go up, and he bought at $ 52k and could sell at $64k price so he made more than 20% profit in short time.

The market of cryptocurrency is unpredictable and its not mean that since the market is experiencing positivity that means the market will keep on going higher, the thing is that Bitcoin movement is not predictable so it may reach tomorrow you experience another thing in cryptocurrency movement either been positive or negative, so whatsoever you are doing with bitcoin know very we that it doesn't have a specification or a particular duration or time frame that the market of bitcoin will increase and the market of bitcoin will fall, but for you to be able to just have some insights or pictures of the market just try to learn and comprehend the movement of bitcoin through the chart graph, if you happen to understand such I believe that you will not be left over for positivity and negative of the market.

I bet you trying to say that they will manipulate price based on them having this knowledge, but then again lets face it..as much as they know technical analysis and the alike that doesnt mean they trade like us the retail traders, them trading the double bottoms, the double tops etc i dont think so..these guys have an algorithmic way of trading which sometimes agrees with our retail way of trading not that they use it

But i suppose the market  makers can get naughty  sometimes just to flex their power and wipe our positions as they use this as liquidity  to move price where they want it.

With crypto we are never late, if resources  are available for investment  by all means do jump on board.

Bitcoin reach 30k$ so it is possible that we are in a bull run season this is maybe a beginning of the next bull run and btc may reach another ATH, maybe there will be a correction so we still need to be careful and always set a limit on our investment not only in btc but also in altcoins investment.

I think the opportunity to start always open, the thing to do is to buy immediately, many people just say it's too late without ever buying, they want to buy when the price of Bitcoin is under $ 20K, but when the price is below $ 20k they are afraid because the price will not rise again , after rising they regret not buying and hope the price will go down and so on.

Many people missed last year's bottom because they didn't DCA and waited for a drop below $15k. But unfortunately, things didn't go as they expected, and now they are worried about the bitcoin prices going up they still haven't bought any. What OP is asking is to make a profit holding bitcoins for 1 year or less, and with the request, no one can answer him. If he can buy it now and hold it for 5 years, as you say, it will be easier.

I would say that you missed a lot of things here...I don't know where you are last year or even last month and I don't know if you are checking the market price as well. You don't need to ask if it is a good price to invest or not because you are actually investing in Bitcoin. Because if you live being doubtful, even if the price of Bitcoin reaches back to $10k, you're still not buying.
Well, most people just come during the recovery, and you are one of them. If you think and see the potential of Bitcoin, then don't waste any seconds but just buy it now. Stop looking for altcoins but rather focus on Bitcoin, or you urge yourselves to invest ETH and BNB...they are potential too.

While the market can be very unpredictable at times and indeed was quite unpredictable in 2022 during market with LUNA/FTX implosions, it seem the market has become somewhat more predictable in recent months. Take for example the 200 Day MA that OP has referenced as an indicator for a trend reversal from bearish to bullish. Since price got above back in January, momentum has indeed continued to the upside. Likewise after a correction from $25K, price returned to the 200 DMA and turned it into support before breaking $25K and testing $30K resistance level. In this sense, these are relatively predictable outcomes.

We don't ever know what will happen in the future for sure, but it's possible to ascertain some probabilities based on Bitcoin's previous price performance, especially when price movements become more reliability in line with the most likely outcomes, as opposed to unreliable and therefore unpredictable. As for the current price of around $28K, price is very much consolidating under previous support zone as it acts as resistance for the time being. While there hasn't been a strong rejection, generally lump sum investing when price is at or under resistance isn't the best strategy imo. It would be better to DCA or wait for a pull-back.

I've said it elsewhere but this wouldn't be the time for a "quick flip" imo. Price could well move back upto $50K to $60K, or otherwise sink back down to the lows around $15K. So in summary there is a chance of price doubling of dropping in half, even if I think the odds of price moving to the upside is more likely, until the $30K resistance level is broken, there isn't enough confirmation of this. I think many speculators are also overlooking the reality that even if the bottom is in like many metrics suggest, it doesn't mean price won't re-test the lows before recovering. In fact this is what happened in 2015 rather than 2019.

I think that it's still a good price right now to invest in bitcoins, it's not cheap but also not expensive. There is no guarantee that you make a profit in the next 6 month or 1 year, however your chance to make a profit long term are good. Nobody can give you an exact estimate how much profit you are going to make, there is a lot of uncertainty with investing in crypto currencies. What I can tell you is that there aren't many good alternatives at the moment, the high inflation rate makes any money market funds or savings account bad investments. The outlook for stocks is not great either, cryptos are a better alternative. Don't wait too long until you start buying, with the DCA method you could be buying a constant amount every month for the next year. It's best to not worry so much about the perfect price to buy or sell, it's nearly impossible to get the timing right.

I believe you're trying to say, the bottom is missed already because I don't see Bitcoin going back to below $17k. But that shouldn't stop you from investing because we're still closed to the bottom and this is a very good buying price when compared to where Bitcoin was trading at few years ago and if you would had bought at that price then you'll be in loss.

Also when you consider the upside and look at where the price could be in 2 years time which is 2025 (after the halving) then buying at this current price is a steal. You should never be concerned about buying the bottom or missing it instead just keep buying and holding.

Don't worry it's just not you. Many investors did miss it. That's the thing about Bitcoin, you will never know when the market price will go up. We keep on tracking it and yet there's this wall that also keeps up from buying it because of lack of trust.
Now that the price is going up are you willing to risk it now? Because there's a chance it will go higher than this. Just don't ask me when that time will be.
Buy now, regret or be happy later. It's all about the courage.

I'm not sure if there is an individual who hold that long though, maybe the best time to sell for them is 2017.

Regarding the bottom price, everyone missed the boat, I think for us or at least in my case, the best time is during the pandemic when the price is just $3k-$4k. Now we are above $28k, but the thing is that investing in bitcoin is also a cycle, so we can start right now at this bear market, because technically we are still in it. And then wait for the bull run in 2024-2025, 6 digits is the likely prediction or at least what the majority thinks the price will be as a new all time high.

yes, in this case I also agree that investing in btc will be better for the long term, for example, like people who invested in btc in 2009 and sold it when the btc price was high in 2021.

but of course in this case it depends on the people who are interested in investing in btc, because of course people's thoughts are different. And the most important thing is to be prepared with investment risks.

Exactly the mistake most newbie like myself do when trying to invest in today's market, although I won't call myself a newbie again as the forum has develop me in terms of crypto knowledge.  Gone are those day when I would just sit and have a greedy feeling of how I missed a great opportunity to buy bitcoin when the price was really low and the profits I would have made,  but instead of whining about your lost opportunity it's better to start buying now (DCA). Bitcoin is a volatile currency and it's hard to predict the price changes, even the expected bull run is just mere speculations although previous stats have shown that it actually occur every four years after its previous ATH so buying now is not actually a bad time. The previous ATH was around 64-67k$, so  it's not too late to buy and hold for long term investment.

There's no late in investing in bitcoin you can make profit from it regardless, the main question is untin when you will hold your investment. Beuase when you sold, there's no turning back and you will only loss or win when you sold your holding s

The bottom isn't missed, for everyone it gives opportunity. We should have the better understanding about the market as well as trust in it. During the starting days of the ongoing year the price is around $16500 and today if is almost doubled. This is how the market moves, maybe it could move downwards. We should have the patience to hold of situations weren't in favour of our prediction. So there is nothing as missing the bottom in bitcoin.

Sounds like you are asking for confirmation for something you already know an answer to. You obviously know TA and know it's a good time. Obviously anything can happen and nothing is 100% sure but if you are looking only for 100% sure bets you are not going to make any money in here.


I am not going to suggest altcoins in bitcoin discussion thread. You should ask that in altcoin discussion / altcoin speculation.

in my opinion you can buy at the current price, you can also place a stop - loss at 27000$, with that you will not lose much in case of a price drop, in case of a price drop you can go back to buy low and place stop-loss and then you wait 6 months or 1 year for the price to go up a lot, in this scenario if the price goes up, you would probably be able to make a profit of 50% or 100%, but don't wait more than that in 1 year


best option will be to do DCA, test that you will understand the reason


this is not a section to talk about altcoins, and I also advise you to avoid buying altcoins to do hodl, there are many problems around altcoins, definitely investing in altcoins is something very dangerous, I think you shouldn't think that putting money in altcoins is bitcoin then you would be diversifying investment, honestly this is not diversification, we all know when the price of bitcoin drops a lot also the price of altcoins drop a lot, so what part of putting money in bitcoin and altcoin would be diversification?
