This is a very important aspect in trading. Holding a crypto coin will let us participate from any future price increase, while losses in the meantime will only be realised if we actually sell our coins. That is why HODL investing is so attractive and profitable for many investors. Timing is the most important thing for day traders, only when they sell above their purchase price they are making profits. For day trading technical analysis is important and can predict trends to find the best timing to buy and sell. But when it comes to general trends there is a lot of politics involved. One good or bad news by a big government or investor can change the market. It's better not to try and find the lowest possible price, because if we wait too long we could miss out on the next rally. Once bitcoins reach a new ATH it doesn't matter so much if we bought our coins at 25, 30 or 35,000 USD.

I would never advice them to buy any random coins but for any dips it’s always best to secure the funds in stable coins. Looks way promising and better rather than selling it for the fiat and then re buying later. Crypto to crypto transaction makes sure we don’t get taxed for the sell off into bank accounts. At least that’s the case where crypto is now taxed and continuously traced for. I believe paying tax on crypto makes us loose money in the process.

Its the opportunity that goes to waste when you don't sell any of your tokens when its in the bull market. While you may not lose any coins, its the chance to multiply its quantity that goes to waste because of holding on to it. 

When they say don't fall in love to it, it may really mean sell when its price is high at the bear will come and the selling pressure will take away 80% of its value.

Indeed, the best opportunity to buy is when the price is experiencing a sharp decline. but sometimes we doubt whether this decline is the last, what if there is another decline, because in the cryptocurrency market the movements are often beyond our expectations, anything can happen. therefore it takes courage to take a measured attitude, so that we can take advantage of every moment, and do not be influenced by fud or fomo, but can take advantage of it without being greedy

Indeed, a great opportunity for us who are here for many years. But those who come during the peak season will certainly cry in vain.
However, I didn't put this as an option to think about the negative, this situation will come eventually.

Remembering the instability of the market, we can really be expecting such market behavior.
Buy the dip, making a chance to earn more. But this will depend on how we take a look at the market and either consider this as an opportunity or not.

interesting statement. and should be understood by all traders. especially beginners who always ask questions and panic when market trends change.

those who feel the most losses due to cut losses and enter again into other assets with the assumption that they want to return their capital. Honestly, it's hard if the market trend is still the same.

it would be better to sit back and forget about the market for a moment. we can return when panic doesn't overwhelm our emotions. we can only believe, that in the future, we will see the market take the assets that we have at a profit.

That's why they need to study first or do some research about crypto currency or what crypto they want to invest. Invest in yourself first by studying the more knowledge you have the less likely you will suffer from great loss. This is what most newbies would do, keep following the trend without even knowing what are they and it keeps happening.

How long these people would learn to do some research first about Bitcoin and altcoins. This forum is the best help they could get id they wanna know something but I guess they aren't interested in reading long written topics.

These questions are very common, it is normal to ask that questions. Everyone must be curious to know what the new ATH probably is. But if you aren't greedy and smart enough, you don't need to know it to sell your assets. Everyone should have a target, and the target won't be based on the ATH. The ideal target should be based on a realistic calculation about the possible raising of BTC price. The ideal time to sell is when the target has been achieved, no need to wait for the ATH.

That's exactly true. There is always a bullish and also bearish era in the crypto world. And if we have been here for a long time, we should have understood this cycle and taken every opportunity of each era both in bearish and also is bullish.
But Sadly, sometimes, not only beginners, feel panic when it's getting to head to the bearish era. When the price keeps falling at a certain rate and then keeps falling, again and again, many people panicked and say about the scam Bitcoin. And much more depression and FUD put in Bitcoin and cryptocurrency.
It's a little bit funny because sometimes, they say that too late to buy Bitcoin because the price has been high enough. But on the other hand, once the price is down and low enough, they are stressful.

Whereas, we can utilize every time to seek profits. For long-term holders moreover especially, bearish era is the best way to collect more Bitcoin, keep it in the wallet and holding for long term until meeting with the next target price in certain bullish era.

Sometimes people tend to buy only based what they can see people hype up over the internet without even thinking on the decision they made for that time so for this kind of actions they mostly encounter the hard lesson they faced. And that's expensive experience because we lose something huge before we learn something from our own mistake.

Beginner traders often neglect timing strategies so they are sometimes not ready for a longer bearish phase. Moreover, if they enter the previous phase early, they will have no better plan option than to take a loss because they do not reserve enough funds for their needs.

What you've said are true.

Before when I sell, I don't convert it to stable coins to retain the value of it and wait for the price dip because I'm using immediately the profit that I make from selling bitcoin.

But this time, if ever we go again back to the bull run. That's what I'm going to do, I'll try to maximize the profit that I've got and stay it with a stable coin for quite a long time before I spend it so that I get back the sold bitcoins cheaper with the profit.

The golden formula is complex and a mixture of many things.

- Capital: where is it from?
- Strategy: what is your plan with it? Investment, trading, gambling
- Time: what is time you plan for your investment, trading, gambling

Capital should be from your own money, which you don't actually need in a long term. Because crypto market is very volatile and you can not enter at bull market and if you enter in start of a bear market, you won't get profit but only loss before bear market ends and recovers. So if you have to sell your coins in bear market, you have huge loss.

Strategy should be investment, long term with your own money. Short term or mid term will be bad if you have to exit in bear market.

Time, it should match with your capital and strategy. Own money and long term will help you have enough time to at least exit when bear market ends and if you don't have profit, you will still have opportunity to get capital back or at least reduce your loss.

Trading is related to time, volatility does not matter unless you sell, but sometimes you are forced to sell at a time when the price is not appropriate, so the more impact you have, try not to covet too much and buy when others sell (they don't want to buy) and sell when it happens The opposite.

As for making profits, it is linked to the date of purchase more than the date of sale, meaning that you make profits when you buy at a low price, and thus determining entry points is much more important than exit/selling points.

Great advice for open-minded traders that newbie traders will understand because they have a lot of time checking their wallets for the price of their crypto investment. I admit that I was this kind of trader before I definitely buying the dip but if the dip still continue and I already used all the capital that I got to scoop it. It is always a psychological effect that there's a possibility that a long bearish market will occur since if you view the history as you said, There are times that this scenario will happen besides the bull. It's good to keep buying the dip but make sure you are using chart and indicators to make sure that you are not buying a suicide dip and let you wait for more than a year just to have breakeven or minor profit.

It's a repeated scenario where people doubt Bitcoin and other cryptocurrency, saying it's a scam already, price will become $0, etc. They will start to think of investing on it again when its price is nearly on its old all time high, that's where they are gonna buy, and will blame Bitcoin again if it falls down after they bought it.

That's why I never waste my time again in those kind of people, that think they could make a lot of money in Bitcoin overnight, which knowledge is too shallow when it comes to cryptocurrency but don't want to know more about it yet wants profits.

I'd go with a different advice and tell people to actually think twice or thrice about the 'crypto' they actually bought — if they actually do something decent, or if it's just your typical useless yet overpriced cryptocurrency. They need to sober up sooner or later, unless they want the markets itself to sober them up by teaching them a hard lesson.

It’s been so many years we have seen bitcoin and altcoins melody of bear and bull trends. Every time I see bull run, peeps will be asking two questions:

1) What is the highest bitcoin price in this bull run?
2) Is current price is perfect to sell my assets?

The funny part comes later when bitcoin starts falling down and goes all bearish. This is current live situation. In this trend there will be another set of questions like:

1) Why bitcoin is falling so harshly?
2) Why altcoins fall when bitcoin is falling?
3) I sold my bitcoins in loss, what should I do?
4) When will bitcoin go bull again and when is the resistance for current market?

Peeps, seriously everyone needs to pull their thoughts together when it comes to situation like this in the market. After all either market crashes or it goes up and all of us has to do is one god dam thing, you just hodl your crypto tight, either move them to stable coin economy to stop the losses.

However, in crypto space you should remember; you are not at all in loss if you have not sold any of your portfolio. This is common logic everyone must apply to their trading methods. 

Above questions are recurring, every time, every year. Pick the histograms, Check the cycles of bear-bull and stay relax!

If you see market dipping, then it’s not loss but it’s market whose giving you opportunity. Just take it
