You could have just said:
"Don't FOMO."
Basically, don't chase a train which already left the station. You won't catch it. I am not necessarily talking about BTC. You can take this idea and apply to any other asset. If Gold rose too much, it is not the best time to buy gold anymore. Leave it and look for other opportunities. Just because you missed an opportunity, doesn't mean there won't be others. You just don't know how to identify opportunities and that's why you missed the last one. People miss opportunities all the time. Even the so called pros miss them.
You need to catch 1 or 2 good opportunities to make a home run.
Topic: Stay off any missed opportunity (Read 322 times)
Well, it depends could be that the reason for the price rise is because they are cooking something up and they are up to something and a lot of people are buying it with the chance of it increasing more in price. It is really hard to time the market so you should be careful and aware of what you are going to do. Better believe in what you are going to invest in. There would be a lot of opportunities now for the market and I think there are a lot of opportunities to build up.
This is why one should never FOMO and buy tokens and coins that they see are constantly rising because they are mostly traps and you will probably get your capital stuck in them if you make the mistake of buying during these times. Some exchanges would warn you before you make a purchase by telling you that the asset is extremely volatile and there is extreme risk if you trade this asset and you should make sure you understand what you are doing.
After reading such things, one should have a general idea that what they are going to do can be costly if they don't understand what they are doing.
The profit from investing in cryptocurrencies is in buying, not selling. If you are buying at a high price or in an upward trend, you will most likely not achieve any good profits. Therefore, pay attention to the buying price more than the selling price and always try to buy when the price is low and there is a high possibility that the price will rise. In the coming days, there will be burning of currencies or listings, but as soon as the price begins to rise, do not try to invest unless it is short-term, within an hour or two, and in small amounts.
Isn't the profit realized in selling? Investors cannot realize their profit if they just keep buying and do not intend to sell. It is good to buy low and sell high but in case an investor bought at a higher price, he should set a target selling price to realize profit.
One example is when an investor bought Bitcoin at its ATH in 2021, obviously it is hard to profit since Bitcoin after hitting its ATH often transition to bear market. As long as the investors set a target price to sell and stick with it, his can realize his profit by selling his holdings when the market hit his target price.
@OP in the Bitcoin market, it always open opportunity for every investors who missed out on its previous cycle. Please be reminded that after the Bitcoin bull run and achieving its ATH, the market of Bitcoin tends to enter the Bear market, and its market plummets to a certain percentage which can be an indicator for market entry or re-entry (for those who sold their holdings during bull run).
So the title of this thread is probably not applicable to the Bitcoin market since there is always a chance to enter the market and get profit every Bitcoin cycle.
In short, do not buy during bull runs and accumulate when no one is interested in buying. This is highly applicable in established coins, not so much on coins that have appeared recently. Bitcoin, ETH, and other such coins will always have a huge market no matter the market conditions are. People will always trade them so you can accumulate when it's at its lowest and receiving lots of negative news everywhere. It's a simple concept but worth keeping into mind if you want to save yourself from huge losses.
There is a very interesting term that I apply in this case "Buy when others are afraid and sell when others are greedy" it will bring a little equation why we should not carelessly buy when bullrun, especially on coins that are already over-valued from their value it will be very dangerous. This can also be attributed to bitcoin or ETH, I collected it during the bearish and people were still afraid of it, and that was the right time to buy coins that you considered very potential, including the altcoins, but this depends on the views of each in seeing profitable trading opportunities in the long run, maybe our glasses could be different.

This is definitely a good suggestion and I support it. I have seen way too many people lose money because they saw something go up and they wanted to follow it and make more money while it goes up and yet the yare too late and the price already peaked so they just hold something that is going down. I get that it is not easy to find the most profitable thing, but it is also quite important to realize that you are going to make money from buying low and selling high, not buying high and selling higher.
This means that people who are fearing that they are missing out on making a profit, usually get hyped about the wrong thing and causes it to be wrong. I personally think that the best thing to do would be just letting it be.

just wait for another opportunity than to do anything that will make you lose money.
A reason why a missed opportunity is called a missed opportunity it is because after the opportunity has been missed any attempts to try and chase the loss will result in a loss for you. Missing an opportunity should teach you the lesson of being more on the lookout for new opportunities, and also will make you ready to take opportunities whenever you're able to spot one. People who miss opportunities and then realize that they made a mistake missing those opportunities, and then learn the lesson are able to do better next time whenever another good opportunity presents itself. Opportunity in the crypto environment does not come once, opportunities will occasionally present itself in the market, it is for the trader to know how to take advantage of it. We need to keep doing what is going to bring more opportunity for us so we don't just end up losing and depending on opportunity that would not profit us. We need to keep making money in the market so that we don't finally lose our from holding ans making money from the market. It is good we keep searching for opportunity so that we can earn more from the market without stress our delays.

For the short time I have been into this crypto industry, I have observed and experience many things, especially when trading the spot market, it's very important that you stay off any missed opportunity, like if a coin has already rise to a very high figure, don't just try to look if you can salvage something out from that particular market, because the price of that particular asset might collapse on you, you will be used to clear liquidity, so it's best you look for another opportunity, in another asset, than to try try to salvage something from the missed opportunity.
I know that most of us here might have experience such before, and have been used to clear liquidity in the past, but it's very important we learn from them, opportunities are countless in the crypto industry, what is required is just patience, just wait for another opportunity than to do anything that will make you lose money.

In short, don't buy when the price is already high, yeah, this is one of the basic tenant of trading, we only buy when there is blood on the streets, meaning the price of a certain coin is going down hard and spiraling to it's death. But perhaps this coin will have a chance to grow it's that there are negative news about it that's why the price is plumeting.
As compare to regretting not buying a coin and suddenly it goes up. You can't do anything about it, maybe you have done your research but it's just your timing is off. Learn from those kind of experience and then apply it to other coins. Investigate, DYOR and base from your past experiences then buy it and see how it goes for you and we really need a lot of patience in this kind of market as it is very volatile and usually it will not go in your way. Timing is everything here.

As the OP said that it is better to wait for other opportunities or opportunities because the market will continue to move which means you will be able to find many other opportunities that match the strategy you have to make a profit, but the problem is only focusing on one market which is where he lost the opportunity, this happens because they feel quite disappointed with themselves because they have missed an opportunity that should be a good opportunity to make a profit that in the end the focus can be disturbed which makes them try to create an opportunity that is actually not an opportunity that matches the way / strategy that they have to make a profit so because of this mistake they experience a number of losses because they try to take advantage of something that is basically not a real opportunity / opportunity. So it is better to look for other assets and wait for the real opportunity, your patience is the key.

I've done that before and thought that it's a good idea but in the end, I'm always getting stuck when I have to cut loss or else I have to go with the further losses because of the wrong entry and buying at the top.
Many investors and traders does this and for this reason, many are discouraged to go on with the newer projects. Unlike if we just DCA our favorite crypto to HODL, we don't have any problems from doing so and we'd be happy to keep as much as we can.

These are basic facts and things that many people or especially beginners should know. But, in fact, there are many newcomers who come to crypto to buy coins that are currently hyped and even at the top, without knowing what phase will occur in these coins. Finally, we know that most of the coins that are currently on the top, if only based on hype, then the situation will be volatile. Then, what happen?? In this case, the coin or token market will immediately reverse direction, drop, and not come back again. So what? Yes, losing money, for newcomers, they will regret and blame crypto. This seems like a normal thing that happens. In fact, their lack of understanding and perhaps their unwillingness to study first to be better prepared, was the cause of their failure at the start.

Every person has that opportunity, and it will depend on each person to take advantage or optimize that opportunity. However, in crypto, this will also depend on how we as individuals can master it first, so we can determine the next steps. Every information shared by many people here or in other forums can actually become very valuable information. However, unfortunately, not all people receive this information.On the other hand, there are several things that sometimes make someone fall even more when in crypto, one of which is a very thin level of patience and on the other hand, a fairly high level of greed.
People forget that they need to follow the basics. Just follow the simple economics while investing in Bitcoins. No more thing is a big opportunity than this. Buy when the price is low and sell after a certain target is reached. Easy like that. Now if you greed more in the meantime or don’t show patience, then of course you will make losses. Crypto is all about opportunity and each and every moment creates an opportunity, we just need to show faith, give time and invest sincerely in it.
The profit from investing in cryptocurrencies is in buying, not selling. If you are buying at a high price or in an upward trend, you will most likely not achieve any good profits. Therefore, pay attention to the buying price more than the selling price and always try to buy when the price is low and there is a high possibility that the price will rise. In the coming days, there will be burning of currencies or listings, but as soon as the price begins to rise, do not try to invest unless it is short-term, within an hour or two, and in small amounts.
This is one of the best advice you can get in the cause of trading or investing in cryptocurrency because that's like one of the best way towards profitability with your crypto assets and even generally out side cryptocurrency in other business in generally the prices at which you bought any commodity is very much important because it will really affect your profitablity with such a goods when you want to sell them for profit, if you did buy them at a high price definitely selling higher becomes a problem if there isn't inflation in the economy as at the time you would want to sell thereafter.Trading for profit will really a whole lot to do with your entry or buying price except you are invest in the long term which will means you will have to leave the asset to still retrace and trade a bit above it's initial price where you bought and that will means exercising some kind of patience again but if you are investing for the short term then it's really important you mindful of your entries.

This most have happened to a number of people in the crypto market and this is because most users of cryptocurrency are of the believe of making it rich after a one or two trials, they fall for the news and FOMO while they’re been used to clear liquidity. Any missed opportunity was never meant to be yours, trying to follow up and thinking that you still have chance to make something out of it, could make you lose everything. Instead of doing that, wait for another opportunity to buy at a low price and sell when the price begins to rise.We all have been victims of FOMO at some point during our trading careers because no one was an expert right at the beginning, everyone has to experience, learn, and grow. However, these days, a lot of information and resources are readily available for newbies to read from and they should also learn from the mistakes of others.
When it comes to investing in crypto currencies we must invest carefully when the market in crypto currencies is down. Many times it is seen that we make a profit by investing in crypto currency but we don't have a little time to make a little profit and then we sell it. It turns out that the loss is more than the profit. When it comes to investing in crypto currency we must have a long term plan to check the market then we have to invest.

No one is perfect, and what makes someone to be identified as a trader is when he sees those opportunities and hits it hard by taken a chance. Missed or no missed opportunities if one gets to see a shot 50/50 and wont be emotionally down if he loss in that shot then he should take it. It is worth it.Patience is also key. But waiting too long will make one loose opportunities that will come. Just like waiting for price to go down to a certain level before they enter. For an investor patience is perfect. Which it is certain that buying consistently and as well holding for long will yield greater result in the future.

I have actually had those kinds of terrible losses in the past, but it was my lack of experience that made me become a victim to those kinds of terrible losses. Sometimes too, any trade that seems like a missed opportunity can actually become profitable, but the trader just needs to be very active on the trade so that they can know when to stop losing and take profit. In those kinds of trades, it's not wise to stay too long with the hope of making too much profit. Also, let's let a trader who still wishes to take such a risk invest only the amount that they are ready to lose.
Know that crypto opportunities are vast in the market. If you missed one, obviously there are still a lot of opportunities coming your way, you just have to wait patiently and determine if they really are opportunities to be in profits or opportunities to lose your funds. Sometimes, opportunities can be deceiving, just like you were deceived by your own greed in the market.
Chasing profits is good but you should also put it in timing. Trading has certainly its own timing, if you fail to recognize that, you might end up trading at a loss price.
