That's exactly what I heard that had happened way back in 2017 where the price of BTC had reached an ATH of around $20000 and there are a couple of months prior to that just to sell their BTC even a portion of it and I remember my friend's regret when he just hold all of his BTC and came the price crashing down. Still hoping that it would rise and the price crash is temporary, he continues to hold and that's another mistake because it continue to crash for months and he never get his profit back. That is so sad because I knew that deep inside there is this rational thinking but with emotions and greed, a person would neglect the rationality of the situation.
I just started trading and so far so good. Been reading and learning a lot. Emotions can quiet be a challenge for you but you just need to look at the data that is in front of you and act accordingly unless you want to lose your money which is a simple mindset but effective.
Sometimes, when people see about the profit that they already made from previous trade, they still want to make more profit by still holding for more. They don't sell the coin but still hold because they expect that the price will increase for the next minute, but the reality is not the same as what they think. And the next minute, the price drops without they can predict.
Emotions will take part in trading, so we need to manage the feeling and say it is enough for us to sell at that price. If we only follow the emotion, we will become greedy, which can lead us to get losses because we cannot sell at the right time. That makes many traders feel sad so far because they chase and hope that they can make a big profit in one-time trade.
That is good for you, but you still need to manage your emotions so you can still calm down even in the hardest situation that happens in the market.
