Topic: My strategy for when Bitcoin price is going down (Read 3877 times)

I just keep buying from the weak hands and welcome the price drop. this is a gift at these and possibly lower levels. I would have never thought that btc would be $450 in August 2014 though Sad

That's the good strategy loose holders sell the coins quick,it's always a profit buying from them directly

If the strategy stop working, he will lose a lot of money.

Trend trading is cheaper and more effective.

I like your strategy. With anything it's always wise to buy to make a profit so if you can buy bitcoins when the price is low and sell when the price goes up again you are in actual fact making a profit which is one way to help you invest more.

Not many have the discipline to carry out the strategy.

Most people buy when the price is high and hoping for new high. And then they sell when the price is low to cut their loss.

This is typical of the newbies trying to enter in the trade game, but they always lose part of their capital in this way.

Buy and forget for a year. Try not to look at the price fluctuations (easier said than done)

BTC will recover, its pretty stable in my opinion. Just wait for a week more.

BTC is not stable... 22% in only 1 week :/

Agree, I am a newbie but Ive already seen bitcoin dove twice in a month. And not by $5 or $10. Dove down up to $30. Its ok to say that bitcoin is not stable currency but still it has a lot of potential and a lot space to develop more.

That's not much really, prices will hold from 400$-800$ for a couple more months until the next boom. Mark my words.

I don't know when it will exactly, but my prediction for december 2014 is over 1500$.

December i think is too quick for $1500 raise. Looking at the stats of past few months I think would be $1k :-?
Anyways, it is profitable for all the investors Tongue

That's why people should see Bitcoin as a long term investment and comparing it to any traditional fiat currency which probably in the next finincial crisis will blow up....
The psychology of an "inexperienced investor" is like you mentioned so called "weak hands".

I will not sell my bitcoin, I will wait until prices return to normal bitcoin, maybe a week, a month or a year, but its regular price of bitcoin will be back to normal within a week, hopefully bitcoin prices will not go down in the next few months ... Roll Eyes

Buy low sell high is the motto. Here is the fact:

A strong base and resistance at 500. So buying at around this price will have low to moderate risk.

If the price drop below 450, sell to limit downside exposure. If it go up to 550, sell to cash in profit. And wait for another downtrend.

The Op said the market surprised him with the current price, I wonder if he isn't going to be surprised negatively again.

Avoid buying on a bearish trend until there are signs of reversal.

it is not that surprising it is not the first time bitcoin went down and then back up

Buy is the strategy.

This. I dollar cost average my purchase so am buying x dollars worth at the same time each week. From there I do spend some. I guess I don't change strategy based on price change. Bitcoin is a buy for me, unless something major happens. (edited to answer OP)

This time still also great time to but/sell when the price still unstable

It is a good strategy as long as the price increases in the long run and you don't run out of money to invest.

The correct strategy is to sit back and relax, as it will go up again eventually.

Or you could take advantage of lower prices and buy some more (if you are not fully invested).

The title of this thread suggests you are speculating that it's going down more, following a trend, but the fact is that it already has gone down.
Take it from the brighter side, it may go back up as well just have patience.

so many people predict it will be that. but it doesnt really have to be. most likely it will be a stable going up as mining costs go up more and more. usually the price of a bitcoin is tied with how much it takes to mine them.

Hello, what nonsence. Bitcoin Mining is binded to Murphys Law, due to using computerchips: Double the speed every 18 months. In sha-2 mining, its every 6 months! The difficulty is not rising fast enough as mining costs are dropping down. We will see a drop in elec. costs up to 5x in the next years for sure. the difficulty has to 5-fold first.

If it would rise to $1500 It would be fantastic, we are all waiting for this so much, hope your words will become true. I was about to invest decent amount in BTC and I think It is the right time to buy.

EDIT: BTCmaster3, how do you know that the target price will be $350-$400?

at the price of $500 for one BTC, there is every month about $62 Mill. new BTC coming on the market and about $650 Mill. a year. The investment capital into bitcoin ecosystem will be about $250 Mill. this year, so we are pretty good right now. There is no need this year to go higher as $500 level. From the speculative point of view on $680 there is a very strong chart technical resistant line, the same a strong support zone at $450 and $380-$350. And thats great.

So, my strategy for when Bitcoin price is going down, is buying and when its going up selling. Thats an anticyclic speculation strategy, vis-a-verse works too.

In theory this would be a great plan, however you really don't know when the price is "low" and when it is "high" as the price can do many things over short periods. If everyone knew when the price was lower then it should be then it would never get that low in the first place.

It's a good price but I do admit that I was a bit saddened that it wasn't a significant amount higher right now
Still for an entry price for a new investor into Bitcoin and for ones that are a bit veteran and experienced in it
This is not a bad entry range.

Stagger buy on the way down... I think its dropping further to $400 maybe even lower. Thats when we rally the troops! I agree buying now is sensible, you'd expect BTC to hit $1k again at some point so its safe-ish, but nevertheless in short term I'm expecting more drops.
