Topic: Market Panic can drive BTC prices Lower - page 4. (Read 4221 times)
Yes market panic weakens the bitcoin progress, but at each and every time, bitcoin recovers from it. Mostly, panic selling occurs due to traders who are new to bitcoin.Big whales sell huge volume of bitcoins to make price fall and new traders get panic that price would drop more and start selling their holdings. Whales use this opportunity to rebuy btc at much less price and gain huge profits.
Of course it can take some influence on bitcoin but panic selling or buying can't make any radical changes. But when price is becoming lower and lower, in that time panic buying can speed up this process but it can't make beggar more than 40%, if that happened, than there are many other important factors also with panic buying and selling.
the current situation will not run forever , the panic selling that makes the price keep dropping will not run forever too.it is just the matter of time for the market to bounce back, so make sure you are there whe it happened.
i see this as a normal thing , nothing new .
i know that feeling , really hard to stop this fingers to push the selling button and cut loss.
but just back to the main purpose why you holding bitcoin then? just keep holding and enjoy the profit later in the future.

Have it seen it jump over it's price just to go back down. It has been doing this all day since I went to work until I just got home.
If it is from all the selling off thats been going on all we can do is just wait until it stops.

The buy wall will useless right now. The demand wants to sell the bitcoin. The panic trend will still continue until the next time.
But it seems like a scenario If the price of bitcoin was touching in higher value and the Chinese bank try to decrease it with any bad news.
there is a huge dump and you don't need to add something to it by panic selling. It is sad that when it goes down.
That's something I don't understand -- maybe somebody can shed a light for me on this. But on regular currency markets nobody ever talks about pump and dump. Indeed in the altcoin market there is a big pump and dump, especially by the devs of the particular coin. But BTC to USD or EUR is a regular currency market with enough market value and volume. Currency exchange ratios go up and go down. Sometimes on fundamental news, sometimes just because of market movements and signal triggered.
Today it was news. I don't believe in a pump and dump game in BTC exchanges. Not by this volume.

This is why we should stop it. If bitcoins price goes down. You just have to buy more. It goes down so
there is a huge dump and you don't need to add something to it by panic selling. It is sad that when it goes down.
The number of negative opinions are increasing which I think influences the others. We should support all the way
to the top and not to pull it down.

I have a big doubt of bitcoin pricing coz its been rising too much i know it will be drop soon many of investors who take advantage of bitcoin price and they don't wait too long they sold their tones of bitcoin if i were there too i will do the same way. I will not take any chances but i sold my half bitcoin that they i just follow the flow.
Anyone would worry if someone bought at $1100 in a huge volume and then after one day price goes down at around 20%. It is not normal so the first thing in mind of this person would be selling at the next increase to cut the losses. But people who are in for the long run really would not be bothered.
Actually -- if I would have bought near ATH -- even for the long run -- I would have sold my coins as quick as possible. Why? Money management.
1. If I would be interested in BTC in the long run, I could think it might be better to buy back cheaper to (a) cover my loses and (b) have more coins which means higher profit if it really rises again.
2. I would just be scarred to bind a lot of money for too long in that loss of 20%. Better to realize the the loss asap than to hold a lossy asset for too long until you even get in the near again of getting out without loss.
3. Even long run investors do have feelings. I know -- either market or feelings. But in the light of a 20% draw back I understand anybody fearing of losing too much money.

[…] very soon the price has to boost again […]
It has to? Did anything fundamentally changed in the architecture of BTC? Is SegWit accepted now? Did the devs come over and released a plan for the future how to fix the transaction size thing? No. It might be the price is going down again to lets say 700 and then again rise and break the ATH and then rise higher and higher … to the moon. Maybe. But maybe BTC is just a commodity like other commodities. Then the market has ups and downs, sell offs and buy offs. As long as nothing fundamentally changed, there is no such thing as "it has to".

There is no reason for panic or panic selling. It's true that many Bitcoin holders have fear that the price would go down more deeply so they will sell which can lower a price for a bit more. But now isn't moment for selling, the head shor be kept cool and wait for this correction of price to be over because soon Bitcoin will be back on the way up.
Actually I agree with that. When the panic sellers sell they're bitcoin and the bitcoin price will manipulate and it will be dump some of the buyer of the bitcoin will take that as a advantage so they will buy that with that price and the bitcoin price will go up again so I can suggest to keep it but I think it will be a gamble if many person sell bitcoins and no one will buy a bitcoin. To sell it or to keep it is a big decision right now but If you will talk about in the future months after now I can say that bitcoin will be stable but I think the best decision now is to keep it or sell it. I sell some of my bitcoins and keep some that way I will no regrets if the bitcoin will dump or pump. So good luck to all bitcoin holders

If one has invested some decent amount of money at let's say 1050 US$ and saw the movement after it bounced at the ATH, I totally understand that this guy was in fear and did panic selling. If one loses 20% of his investment within 4 hours, I understand anybody selling off any asset in panic.

Information is what the market feed on, so if there is a perceived negative news about BTC it is going to affect its price. Look at what happened to Pound after Brexit vote.
you can't really compare Pound and how it is affected with bitcoin and the news circling it. the size of the market alone makes them completely different.
and also what happens with bitcoin is that there are so many novice traders around with rather big amounts of money at their disposal but little to no experience. and then there are whales with experience and the know how of things like creating panic of FOMO

I know we are currently seeing the fall of coin prices, and many of us may think to get out while the getting is good. Well if you need the money, I guess that is understandable. However if your in it for the investment, and you can hold your ancie pants together during the drop. I don't need a chart to tell you that Bitcoin is on a continuing upward trend, in spite of coin price drops.
Panicking and selling off not only hurts your longterm investment, but breaks the market down also. I know speculators that just made hefty purchases at high prices are losing,
Don't panic there is a way to recover the loss
There are currently two forces which are driving bitcoin market price levels lower : one is profit booking from long term bitcoin holders and the second is obviously panic selling from both short term and long term holders.Panicking and selling off not only hurts your longterm investment, but breaks the market down also. I know speculators that just made hefty purchases at high prices are losing,
Don't panic there is a way to recover the loss
I am afraid as long as we are not getting new investors and new bitcoin adopters, this trend may persist. Because no one will be buying when they are seeing continuously falling prices. Moreover we now need a strong pump to gain back the trust on bitcoin price level among all types of investors.
there is also another force, and that is the fact that some traders have turned bitcoin into their plaything and are enjoying the volatility. for the past couple of days I keep seeing 800ish then 900ish price over and over!
and about new investors, they will come and they are coming. these periods like this where prices are very volatile and things look bad to our eyes are only temporary and they will end. besides when you want to invest you don't look at the past days or even weeks, you check out the whole thing and see how it was performing through the time it existed.
