Mostly when there is a bitcoin rally,most of altcoins including well established altcoins start bleeding.So,when you see your invested altcoins price falling down and bitcoin price increasing,either you could hold some of your altcoins which you believe that their price would surely recover soon or else,you could just sell them and buy bitcoin to avoid misssing the train.
Shorting is a process where you definitely get an idea that bitcoin price is definitely going to fall and so,you just sell your bitcoins and wait for its price to fall down more to buy it once again.But its highly risky and many have faced loss by wrongly predicting.
Topic: What to do when prices are falling - page 66. (Read 46532 times)
I'm new in trading. I lost almost 50% of my capital... because the coin I buy price fall and fall till now... Is good I to hold or sell to cut loss?
I remember before the price of my token was falling i got panic but i don't have nothing to do, im just waiting until the price will rise again, then its happen, so for me if the price was falling we don't need to panic. Wait until what happen to your coin.
Hello. I have a folio of BTC, ETH, NEO and some alts. I've been watching at Bitcoin since 2015 but bought only at this summer (and the last move was quite bad, I bought some BTC for $4600). I try to study, watch vids, read forum and twitters. Chris Dunn has a vid on the topic but nothing really specific. I'm interested in some ideas about what to do when prices are falling. Sell alts and hold bitcoin? Short? (and if yes, so the next question is how to learn how to short?).
When the price us falling, it is time use by traders to buy coin. When the price is falling it is not panic time. It is normal, it will really happen because bitcoin or any other digital currency out there has no fix price. Good thing when its price increase but quite bad when it goes down especially when someone needs money. But it is the nature of this currencies go up, go down, it is not possible to just goes up. Just accept it. When the price is falling there is nothing else to do but to wait for it to increase again. But the thing is we do not know how long will it takes to increase.
Well, you have 3 options:
1. Cut your losses. If you have lost faith in the coin, this is your best option.
2. Buy more! If you have the funds and believe in the coin, then what buy more and more as the price drops.
3. HODL! If you don't have the funds to increase your position but still believe in the coin, then you best option is to HODL. (Just forget you own it for a few months/years)
Good luck and stay safe!

I think HODL is the best option, that is, if you are in crypto for the long run. Unless its a shit coin in which case you just cut your losses and sell.
What I do when prices are falling especially the coins I'm trading, I usually check the trading site from time to time of how much it has gone down. And when I see that it has gone down half of the price I bought it in, I would wait for the dip and buy that coin when it is at its lowest or for me it is at its lowest.
Right. Anything but panic selling. If i have spare btcs at that time i'd definitely do the same. If not then basically i don't open any exchange site and let the price fall for as long as it like. I've realized for a long time already that patience is the key to minimize losses in trading
Correct. We don't have to panic if there is a huge price drop that is happening on every tokens that we are holding, if we have extra bitcoin, then we have to buy tokens that is on a dump price and sell it when it PUMPS so that way we could have the profits. Actually this DUMP thingy is an advantage to the Traders, it is an opportunity for them to earn big amount of money through profits.

When the price is falling I'm always checking the price everyhour if it will be a big dump or not . if its decrease over $500 im selling my bitcoin so fast so when the price reach its lowest point im gonna buy again so i can make another profit in the future. that's a basic trading but always work. don't buy bitcoin at high price wait for the dump and then buy as much as you can then sell it on a high price.
But if you see when price falls by $500 that means you are already selling your coins at low price which will affect your profits very badly so if you see dramatic fall in the price its better not to sell your coins and hold the existing ones and when price is at lowest point buy it more and wait for the price to bounce back.

Think fast. You need to be able to figure quickly why it is falling and is it going to come back. BTC drops based on this and that rumor sets and always comes back, is this true for the coin you have now that is dropping? The thing that some people forget is that they have already made money on a coin, not always true, but often forgotten. They buy a coin, do this and that and make a tidy bit of profit as it rises, then freak out and make this and that guess as it drops.
If you bought in at 1 Sat, it is now 800 Sat and dropping, make the sale and sit back and enjoy. You have done a good job at this trade and if it hits 1000 Sat the next day, who cares, you made a 800x return and did just fine. Need to be vigilant with decision making and always make the right choice of when to buy and when to sell.

Basic trading is buy some coin in low price ang sell in high price and get profite from it. So i the price falling we need to be patient to hold our coin don't seel in lower than buy if don't want to lose our fund. Because patient is key of trading and no need to panic.
In my little experience price falling is not a problem at all. Because it's happens always. Be patient and hold your coin. Market will be rise soon. And don't panic. If you do then you will lose your coin.
Experience really sometimes is the best teacher. For so many people who have stayed in the game for a while, they have realized that FUDs will just stir the market a little bit and then after then, we end up seeing a huge rise which makes them stronger rather than making panic decisions.Moreover, this forum is a good way for people to learn from experience to understand that panicking will never help but cause more loss.
Taking risk or get nothing principle could be used here to decide whether you will keep holding or cutloss.
Analyze the market carefully and make a decision . Sometimes keep holding drive people into deep regret and burn your investment.
when you price is start falling then you don't need to take tension but you need to be happy. you must start buying coins at that time more and more and when the price again start increasing then you need to start selling coins with time. so in this way you will get much profit and it is the best way of trading.
it depends upon the situation if the price is bigger then you need to exchange your bitcoin into foat before that happens. Im a trader since then and i sont want to lose any piece of bitcoin and having trouble with the profit i get so i manage to buy and sell since im from in the 3rd world country where we can easily exchange fiat into bitcoin. 
Hello. I have a folio of BTC, ETH, NEO and some alts. I've been watching at Bitcoin since 2015 but bought only at this summer (and the last move was quite bad, I bought some BTC for $4600). I try to study, watch vids, read forum and twitters. Chris Dunn has a vid on the topic but nothing really specific. I'm interested in some ideas about what to do when prices are falling. Sell alts and hold bitcoin? Short? (and if yes, so the next question is how to learn how to short?).

Well, if the price of bitcoin is falling don't be affraid about that, because it is normal to happen this type of situation. The best thing that we should going to do is to hold our bitcoin and wait the time if all things is back to normal. So, never to become panic and we should control our emotions to avoid any misses. In addition, we should makes other alternative way when the price of bitcoin will falling, like we are going to buy some bitcoins for a specific amount and hold for long term and wait the price increasing so we are get a profit. Finally, we need to become updated to all things that happen in bitcoin.

If you're up to long term investments I suggest that you shouldn't panic and just hold to your bitcoin or alts (whoever is falling), also it depends on the current reading on your folio. You have to be keep updated on whats happening to the crypto world so that you would know how long you will hold then and then let go. Another thing is that you have to control your emotions and think especially when you are in trading.
To my view point if the bitcoin price falls it is good to buy more and invest for more betterment and wait for a hike, falling price can be taken as a positive one.I don't believe that the price will decrease too low in this present digital world , we can wait and see what happens next.
Falling prices is usually meant to be a good one. In as much as we do not want weaker hands, there is no way we can end up doing without them and that is when it is just perfect to buy into their fears. That is how I see it anyway just like you have said. Things are changing and time will come when it will start getting pretty hard to see very huge drops except few corrections here and there.Jump to:
