Topic: WHEN we should sell BTC after halving as a LONG-TERM invest? - page 3. (Read 618 times)

i get your point about fomo and i also believe that will happens also in 17k price.there is a nice point u talking about and its > reasonable profit , i personally believe that depends on each person view and the price of buy . thats can be a good major to have a plan for selling assets.

exactly, i believe also after halving we expect that price go top and i also think we going to see a lot of shadows in chart after bitcoin price get near 17000-20000 .it depends on how much world going to push and buy and hold bitcoin to rise the price, i think pick a specific target for sell is the best option, i mean pick a target and be clear with that is good!

we all target the highest price after halving. if you feel you have benefited, you can sell it. maybe a suitable price is a range of $ 15k more. however, it all depends on the beginning you buy bitcoin or when you have it. Well, I suggest selling above $ 15k.

The answer depends how much you bought the coins that you are holding right now. If you have bought during the 2018's bottom, you can sell anytime that you want but many will rise their brows to you and will think that you're not doing the right thing.

As you have said, many will start selling if bitcoin once again reaches $15k-$20k and I think that would be an ideal price if you're longing to get a profit within the short term. But as for the people who have been believing that bitcoin is here to stay, you can aim higher than that.

Only you can answer this clearly, it depends upon a variety of factors that include you initial investment, how long you are planning to hold the coin and the most important fact is the market situation and the financial situation. To expect the market to soar after halving is just not ludicrous considering the past rallies we had after halving, this time around i am not expecting a huge rally like we used to see in the past but we will have a much better valuation around the all time high valuation.

Even when it gets to 20k I dont think it'll be most and it doesn't have to be to tip the price, we only need to see the balance change so that sellers outweigh buyers and obviously as the price goes higher the possibility that people stop buying or reduce greatly does occur hence its more like a see-saw then a weighing scales and we can shift about quite dramatically.
   The only real thing to count is population of users for BTC rising then between them the differences are much smaller, only 0.01 in a wallet when its many millions begins to have great effect.  0.01 when I first used BTC was thrown away almost like copper change.

Frankly, I have no idea when to sell my holdings but as long as we are in the bearish trend I won't make any move. Everybody expects that Bitcoin will skyrocket after halving event this year because they reasoned out that it will be the same just like the past Bitcoin halving. Anyway, as I've said I had no idea when to sell, perhaps I will do it if I saw that my holding will earn such a reasonable profit. One thing I also anticipated that as Bitcoin hits 16k to 17k worth of BTC it will create a FOMO so everyone will sell their assets.

It depends on the set target selling price of the investor.

There is a chance that when Bitcoin reaches near 20k, most of the investors and whales will sell their Bitcoin that they are holding. On the other hand, if it reaches near 20k, there is also a chance that it will push more and will rise more than 20k. Nobody knows what can happen to Bitcoin after halving but many are expecting that it will rise after halving.

all the thing u made up is meaning full like this or what?!

i am so agree with your opinion !

I made this up myself:

Your rich next door neighbor owns a mansion.  One day he dies - the mansion is still there, he could not take it with him. 

yes best price is near 20k in my opinion also.

i dont think selling btc at 12k in long invest is a good idea we have so many good fundamental news !!!!

i like your strategy and i think something very similar will  happen.

i exactly know what u talking about , i have that plan also but i think selling all coins will be my option because i believe after price see 20k so many ppl will sell and we going to have a dump and then maybe i buy again.

We will have to wait 1 to 2 years depending on the demands of bitcoin to surpass all time highs.
I feel that this will be another ATH.

Somewhere around 2021 to 2022 but the price will experience a boost in speculation before halvening.   This virus may have messed up that idea slightly but the effect is still there underneath in helping sentiment slightly, its just not going to boom with such a weight of news on top of it.
    If you are talking long term then you not so much a trader type speculator but the type who measures ingredients, makes a cake and is willing to wait for it to bake which is good because the biggest gains come this way.   BTC especially is extremely hard to judge in its volatility and in any case the trends over time are more certain and more easily observed by the lay person.


I like that you say after because the price I expect to be highest for 2020 in the first half and second half it will digest any gains, the news and protocol changes.   It all plays a part in future growth and block changes to the reward for mining is not immediate in altering the markets but the longer the distance from the change event the greater the difference in available BTC from that source is.   So I expect to see a larger move after more then 6 months then in this year itself, good things come to those who wait.     If people expect too much then I think the market as the beast bull or bear tries to make them jump, possibly even sell.
  The reason selling is important is it is a large source of BTC to the market, when its wrung dry and that source is greatly reduced and demand is continuing and good then the market mood will change again.

All the more people believe in the possibilities of Bull run in the future, the demand increases. The future for Bitcoin is still great even when its price is down in the present. For me, people should expect the price of Bitcoin to increase more than the said limit of $20,000 because, the halving event is a new chance for Bitcoin to shoot up more than the halving from the earlier years. Halving of an already halved supply would really mean a great potential for Bitcoin to surpass the past Bull runs as a new set of increased demand for the coin will come as its supply would be decreased greatly in half more than the past years of halving. We could expect the highest price of Bitcoin from the past halving to be doubled in the future.

This could be indeed, a great opportunity for investors and other people who are interested in investing on Bitcoin. Sell Bitcoin when it sets a new all time high record of more than $20,000 value.

I know you are looking for the right time to sell and the answer will also matter if you gain already and been satisfied with it.

Just like;
If I buy Bitcoin at $9k, then I have to sell this when it reaches to $11k.
If I buy Bitcoin at $9.5k, then I have to wait for the price to reach $12k.

That's in me, we can sell our Bitcoin depending on our personal target. And I know that we are not having the same target/goal. If you want to sell it at $16k or more, then it's up to you. Everyone has the freedom and the fact that we are not holding your decision, you can make all thing as you think that is helping you and as long as you are already in the gaining situation, not a losing one.

You don't have to sell all your stash at once, you can do it in portions over longer periods of time - this will reduce both risks and potential profits. I personally plan to start selling when the market will surpass the last ATH - at first it will be a smaller fraction of my coins, then depending on how fast the price growth, I'll be selling more and more. I would want to sell most coins when the price will go vertical like it happens when a bubble reaches its top.
