Topic: Panic selling and postpone from trading, which one is the worse one? - page 12. (Read 1853 times)

I think it's important at purchasing power. If the purchasing power is poor, they will also not want to postpone the transaction. They just need to order at a high price, surely there will be more buyers.
I think the worst is still the delay. When the volume drops or is too small, speculators will be very afraid and do not want to buy much because it is not liquid.
Sell panic sometimes is good for the coins that want to collect buy back tokens for cheap. Zuflo coins is an example. They have set at low prices and many people have panicked.
only then 35 days, it got buffed up and increased more than 300% in 30 minutes.

Candidly speaking, the two option are dangerous to crypto-community members because they gat to produce the same result in practical. Panic selling could lead to market drop which intend bearish market likewise the postpone trading which could lead an individual into greater lost which could never be cover for a long period of time.

I think selling is worse option between the two. Postpone from trading is also bad but panic selling is a lot worse. If you are a trader and sell in order to buy more later on than that is calculated loss for a future profit but panic selling is not like that, panic selling is just taking the loss and leaving which is not a smart move. Postpone from trading is also bad because you are missing out from buying from lower or even trading while going down to increase the holding but at least its much better than just taking the loss and leaving.

If you just lose money and not get anything in return than you are going to be pessimistic about future trading as well and one or two panic sells will make you leave crypto trading in total not to return ever but if you just postpone trading you may have a shot at making profit later on.

Panic selling is not a remedy for saving yourself in the worst situation, why don't you hold it if you do believe that the coins you are holding have a potential to grow even more than the actual price? It's a mishandled situation where you are forced to do the worst case scenario.
You should have at least a plan B if things would go wrong and not making a quick decision if the market sunk without you being prepared.

Not everything is worth to hold, I know we shouldn't choose those shitcoins but somehow we're a victim of impulsive buying and we leave no choice but to just hold instead of selling at loss. But market gone worst and shitcoins getting shittier so rather of holding it just cut loss and move on.

These ain't an easy options but if you trust your coin/token then just postpone the trading. As what said above, wait until the price rise and sell and just do a buy back afterwards.

The question is very hard to answer imo. Based on my experience, even though you don't panic sell, but the market tends to go very bearish in a short amount of time, then holding won't give you a good profit either. On the other hand, if you keep holding without looking at the market, you could miss an important trend such as what happened in late 2017.

Emotional trading is for sure dangerous, but not understanding that emotional trading is a part of the market could get you rekt even further. For example, if you don't cut loss when Bitcoin was at $6k, you'll lose %50 more when Bitcoin fell to $3k. So what should we/you do? I think you should follow the trend, but also be careful because the bullish trend can start with a lot of unbelievers (see Wall Street cheat sheet). Cut loss if you think (based on analysis) that the price could go even lower (because people are panicking, etc) and buy back when you believe there will be fundamental changes that could push the price.

For me panic sell is worst habit. Especially for me, whenever I sold my token by panic then always bump after my sell. That's why I avoid now panic sell. Still few coin I am holding from 3 month but I don't want to sell. But it doesn't mean I have to postpone my trading, we shouldn't invest all in one or two coins only. But unfortunately all of my coin still dump even btc already pump. Hope soon my coin will recover. My suggestion is just avoid panic sell and emotional trading.

For the users, panic selling is the worst decision because you will lose money although there might be a chance to break even, and panic selling will create more chaotic situation for the market and make the price fall down severely, postpone from trading is not too bad consider that you still got the portfolio and able to generate profit in the future, but postponing for too long could end up with no value coin and you will lose momentum to get maximum profit

Panic selling is the worst one why? because if you panic sell you won't get the gain you actually deserve but no because you panicked and the gain you didn't expected to have, have turned into air and that might frustrate through the entire year or not depends on you though also put join crowding as the second poster said, it is the most idiotic part you'll do because you only obey their wishes and they gain something from it but you don't.

Unfortunately there is no correct response to your question as these are situation specific and very very dependent on an individual's risk taking capability. The responses will be different for different individuals.

Panic selling is a psychological aspect of a human being which can be classified as pessimistic behaviour. Whereas holding an asset during bearish market shows the signs of optimistic behaviour. Both are exactly opposite to each other and can't be compared really!

However, if we think about the market, I would say holding onto an asset during bear market is generally good for the health of the market because panic selling makes the bearish trend stronger. So for the sake of the market, postponing the trade is more positive as it seems!

They intend not to hold for long . They sold when:
a) They feel that more price decrease will happen later on
b) Already reached the maximum level where losing is still tolerable.
c) Continous downtread to minimize the risk of losing. This is usual.

But it's not the endgame for them. They will enter the market again once they feel it's the right time to do it.


This is a win-win situation for others.

Since they lose so much, already risk so much, already put on trust on their instinct, they will hodl till the end.

This is only applicable for those persons who are willing to lose some. People who doing this already accept it as a loss to avoid too much expectations. Some take breaks, some choose other coins with the used of new capital etc.

What's worst over these 2? Honestly both are having sense to put a shot. People just have to make sure they know what they are doing.

Holding is always the best option, everything will experience price drips on the way up.  Panic sellers are the emotional type that can't stomach price drops so they act foolish and sell off only to watch the price rise up after they sell. 

To be fair in reality we have combination of both and both of them are bad. If you hold bitcoin (money) that's very bad too because it has to be in circulation, you don't have to stop it. Imagine how silly it would be when someone has something you and others want but doesn't sell to get profit in future, he/she isn't doing good thing.
So I would say panic selling is better from this two. You sell and someone buys who wants, then price falls and you can even buy more bitcoin to hold for a short time. Then these bad habits stops and price rises.

Bother are worse when we are doing at most wrong time for example the price of bitcoin was huge in 2017 end but it startes to decrease from that,so when someone got sold their bitcoin at the time because of painc they actually made good profits and the same time who postponed their trading activity from Jan 2017 to Dec 2017 they also made good profits not it depends on the situation.

The only reason for the people selling their coins is because they don't want to see if the price still go down and they don't want to get bigger losses. They thought that it's better to get a small loss than to get a bigger loss and they can accept for the lose. Besides that, they can try to buy at a low price although it doesn't guarantee for them to see the lower price in the future. But the worse case I know that if someone is selling their coins without notice that the price can get up in the next day, week, month, or even a year.

Worst case is trading with emotions and joining crowd. Selling in blood bath is logical if there are good reasons for this. If there is no concrete explanation for downfall then it is better to leave on its own. Just shut down the pc and go walk. Just my usual 2 cent  

The dynamic situation of cryptocurrency these days in general responded by three ways: selling panicly with the risk of cut-loss in order to save the remaining assets from more fallen, hold the assets and playing save by not doing any trading activities, and view the phenomenon as a diamond chance then buying coins in huge amounts of investments while the prices are low. Of course, those three ways are logically humane and each has their own pluses and minuses.

I am intrigued upon the first two: panic selling and postponing from trading.

On doing panic selling, ones tend to sell their assets in the price lower than in the actual price. The main goal is to sell their coins faster to save themselves from the worse situation, without consideration upon the impact of their behaviour towards the market in general.

Meanwhile, ones could also hold their assests and postpone from doing any trading activities, in order to keep their assets safe and even maybe went on hiatus from digital assets bussiness while waiting for the bullish days to be back. They don't want to sell their assets in low price, but the act of not doing any trading is logically also has impact in general. At least, it is contributing on slower the trading traffic.

In your opinion, which one is the worse way among the two?
