It is common human behavior, the crypto market is good enough to play with public sentiment. Suppose you bought 10K dollars worth of bitcoin with pegged price $50K, and the market started falling suddenly just after you buy the coin, if the market fall to $40k that means already you have lost 2000usd within a couple of minutes, so what will you do? If the market will start to fall again common human sense will encourage him to sell the remaining funds at the spot, no one can control himself when he seeing money is going away continuously.
As a human being which does have emotion and feeling then you would really be having those common reactions whenever you do see the price is falling or specially you do see your portfolio is getting lesser and lesser or
having deep negatives and this is what makes us able to sell in no time or simply committing some panic sell which turns out to be a big mistake because we do know that some coins specially bitcoin could really have some
chance to recover even though its not an assurance on when it would happen but it would surely be on next.Right,
you mentioned "
recover" this word. Now let me elaborate on this, Profit-loss is different from person to person.
Recover the market and recover your loss are not same, people who are technical will never lose anything even when a big correction occurred.
Some of my friends invested in bitcoin when the price was 60K, I also invest a portion of my money in bitcoin at 60K price. you know the next story, we couldn't make any profit from that trade. The price has been fallen randomly and some of them sold their holdings, They did not dare to enter the market again for fear and overall they lost a certain amount of money.
Another group is still holding their coin and they determined that they will never sell anymore if the price will not come back to 60K again, they are also at in loss and waiting to recover the loss, profit is far away.
Do you know what I've done? I just calm down and waiting for the deep, I have bought double as much as I bought before when the real opportunity has come at 30K price. Whatever the market will recover or not it doesn't matter, I'm not a loss at all.
I've increased my portfolio by around 1.5x during the dumping moment when most of my friends are still at a big loss.
