and expect the price to rise again at a very profitable price.
but many of the newbies or traders actually sell their assets at a loss and then wait for the market to really bottom and start investing with other assets with more potential. This method does not guarantee that it will return the capital issued, but I am sure that many old investors or traders also do that.
That is if they knew where could the bottom be. Some of us saw the bottom could be in the daily chart and then bought at it not knowing the price actually got worse and then they sold again paying the price for speculating too early. The price going from $30 to $36K isn't an assurance that we are out of the woods, it could actually go below $30k once again. For BTC goes back up to $60k again is after the halving again.
