Is it true that the market down trend will last until March? What do you think we can do? Hold or cutloss?

i don't know how long or even why this downtrend is lasting but if you really think the downtrend is going to last until March then the obvious choice is to cut your losses NOW before the bottom is reached and you are left with nearly nothing!

Honestly, no one knows what the market will do. We've had corrections that lasted anywhere from a few days to around 2 years. But imo, i think we will see a much better february. I think this is the final of the dips we will see, and btc should go back up to 10k soon.

best think to do would to restructure the cryptomarket so it becomes more trustworthy and a more usefull tool to decentralise the worlds financial system + increasing the creativity of the worlds social fabric,

as a speculant you cant do much except maybee shifting towards a stable value

uber reeekkkttt

The entire cryptocurrency market is based on two things - speculation and faith. For speculators, what is happening now is a big problem, but for people who believe in the success of cryptocurrencies, the situation of this price correction have no matter.
Decide for yourself on which side you are on.

I think this is why crypto will never die out, and face the same issues as other "bubbles" like the dotcom boom and housing crisis. Certain people really believe in the idea of crypto and what it stands for, not just the money.

You are a hero member and giving this kind of advice?
Either you are trolling, have no idea what you are talking about, or bought the account.

Think before you panic.
Why would you sell to cut your losses?
Is there some emergency right now where you need your money?
On top of that, haven't you ever realized that you only lose money if you actually trade or sell?

Also, if the down trend continues until March, what about after that?
Will it go up or do you honestly think that crypto is dead?

If you take the time to think it becomes quite clear that selling at a 50% loss is the STUPIDEST thing you can do.

Look, anybody selling their investment when it has lost a lot of value, really isn't much of an investor, are they?

If you want the outsized returns in crypto-currency, you will have to deal with the volatility. This specifically means ACCEPTING that price moves BOTH up AND down.

Where is the price most likely to go from here? Down until all crypto-currencies are worth zero, or up again some time in the future, like it has done every time before?

This really isn't rocket science; Buy Low, Sell High.

If your investment is LOW now, you wait untill it is HIGH again before you sell. Simple enough, no? :)

If you're convinced the market goes down further, you might even short it and make profits.
Don't tell people what they should think. It's all speculation and while I expect growth soonish, it might go down a bit further first.

Bitcoin price could rise again this week as the meeting is being held by US government committe on 6 december to give particular details on bitcoin's regulations. It seems regulatory committe is about to implement some new rules and make it clearly legal in US region. People are expecting uptrend in bitcoin after US governments positive news coming out on 6 february

There is a crazy chaos going on over the market going down . People are just spreading  panic and there is no way to stop them . This is mostly coming from the people who are new to the market and don't know how "volatile" is the market .
The reason why the market is taking a blood bath is because the market is correcting . Whenever there is correction in the market , it goes down and the panic among the investors goes up . Bitcoin is apparently correcting and whenever this happens , it also take the market down with itself .
There is no reason to worry about , bitcoin and other alts are just taking some time off.

Cutloss if you wont lose large amount of your holdings,but if you are now stucked in a certain coin the best thing to do is to hold until the market has recovered from the bloodbath.

If you have no other income source than crypto trading or so, maybe it's considerable that you might want to sell a few your assets and keep most of it. It's all about diversification and keeping your options open.

I am expecting that BTC will go down to almost $7,000 (or even beyond that). It's a FUD sale for all of us, and they extended it for the whales to take advantage of the dip and buy more assets at lower prices.

For me, it's either between FUD or FOMO in the long-term. There's a part of me that is tempted to sell, and there's another one who tells me to hold and believe that it will rise again.

Just #HODL on guys!

Current market is slipping to red. This is probably some people have anticipated. However, it will cause a lot of losses for the recent crypto market participants. There are adjustments here. Perhaps someone behind the organization caused a bloodbath market and kept all supplies. All is suspicious.

In my own opinion and it based on my search. Bullish market will start mid February upto May in that months we will BTC will probably reach around $64k - $100k and the Altcoins will follow also. To the moon everyone.

there is no truth when this downtrend ends/last, but the truth is, it is continuesly dropping until now. but dont stop believing in you coins mostly bitcoin because im sure, after this dip (panic selling) bitcoin recovers and skyrocketing again, im still have faith in bitcoin even bitcoin is in the dip. and altcoin must be followed and raise again with bitcoin.

No one can be certain when the bearish market will last but all we can do is hodl and wait till we get to the bullish trend. This is why it is great that one should do his due diligence before is investing so that he can have less stress when the market has its ups and downs

Everything is going down and everyone involved is affected. Investments are nearly getting into losses because of the bloodbath we're experiencing right now. But I think this will comeback to normal again (hope so). But if this gets worst, I would rather cut my losses.

In a time like this, don't panic sell and believe the FUD. Just make sure that you didn't sell at the bottom, you can also cut loss 50% and if the market still going down then 100%. #HODL

I don't think there will be a big increase in the market in march.
It's not just the Spring Festival. Now many countries are beginning to regulate bitcoin, which is the biggest bad news.

I have heard an opinion that it will last until May. But again, it is just opinion and I guess nobody can call the exactly time when the market will go up. As always everything in hands of huge investors, I believe only they can solve the situation.

No one knows. It can stay longer or it can stay earlier than March or so what.
If you can buy right now most of the coins are on sale so this is the best option while holding. Cut loss if you don't have faith in bitcoin but if you know that in the future bitcoin will give you a nice profit then just keep on holding.
Where have you heard it?

Just HODL. If you want to cut loose then go no one is stopping you. There is a good future waiting for crypto and it's just waiting for the right moment to be recognized by the whole community. FUDs are just the reason why the market is getting down trends. Maybe later this year the price will be stabilized again.

Also the regular stockmarkets are down worldwide. And with al the speculation entering the cryptomarkt. You have probably to wait till an uptrent worldwide.

you cannot predict when it last, the only way that you can do is just safety all of your coins and just hold until the market back to normal, this what you shopping time of coin you wanted to hold if you have money to buy some coin just have pagience until the market goes up again

I think this is completely true. the down trend will continue for another month. there is no escape from it but we should try to get the least damage.
Ethereum may be a sensible choice these months

I don't think we can do anything. If you have faith in bitcoin, there's only one thing you need to do: keep it.
I think a lot of people are desperate now, maybe the bull market is coming.

I agree. Sometimes people on here have their heads so far into crypto they forget what's happening outside this industry. Go to any financial website and see what's happening to all the stock markets.

Educate yourselves!

just hold brother, its a normal i guess it will up. But if u want cutloss its okay, dont late to buy if it going up.

   I knew that this down trend will have the end, but I did not
know that this end will be in March. That is a month for now,
and prices can drop a lot in this period.
   If this is true then it would be good to sell everything now,
and wait dip and buy again before the end of this month.
   I will not do that, I am keeping what I have, and I can just
buy more. In next few days I am expecting some money and
I plan to buy Litecoins. My first Litecoins! With announcement
of LitePay, Litecoin is good investment.

It's impossible to know those things, so I will just give you my perspective from a "trading point of view". If you look at the weekly charts for bitcoin, you will see that we had a huge run with no time to create real support lines, and this is why we are now falling fast as well. The real support line we have on the weekly charts, is around $5k, so I would be perfectly comfortable  (from a trading perspective) to see bitcoin going to those values. I would get worried if bitcoin dropped bellow that price, because that would show that people are losing faith in crypto.

Also, if you look at the volume, you would see that the bear volume is nothing compared to the bull volume, and that means this is not a bubble pop or whatever it is that people are calling it. This is still normal correction, and I'm still very confidant that bitcoin will recover from this.

From a fundamental point of view, you would see that nothing has changed for bitcoin, and we are actually in a better position than we were before, so things are still good for crypto and bitcoin.

Check this thread, so that you can easily understand what I'm trying to say that the bitcoin fundamentals are intact, and we are actually getting better.

well we don't know until when it will continue this downtrend, it could last even months like in 2015! i think that some good news are coming so if it's not only about speculation this market will recover. litecoin will launch litepay in february and i hope to see soon lightening network for bitcoin, this would help his rise again

these are all talking about the long term to be achieved. If we look at it today then the state of the digital currency market can be said is experiencing bad things and the level of public confidence is declining. but for these speculators all is a challenge, because this is the way to the future of the digital financial system. We are all being tested whether we are ready or not to face that era.

If we continue to convince ourselves and others that crypto world is a future then we can keep the price of digital currency in order not to continue to experience a much deeper decline. This is an opportunity to show that the digital currency market is sensible and shows to all sectors that digital currency is highly deserved to be officially recognized.

My suggestion is - don't be panic. The crypto value has been decreased a lot during these days. However, I still believe that it will recover in next few months.

No one exactly knows when will the current down trend will end. It might last until March or April and this is what I think also. There is a great resistance at the moment that's why we keep on seeing the market bloody. The trend started on late December and lasting on March or April is not that bad.

Why do you think the price keeps on decreasing? Because many are selling even though the price is so low. So we must hold our coins. Will cutting our losses will do anything? None. Well it will make the price decrease even more. Cutting losses is just like feeding the whales and don't ever feed the whales.

AFAIK, you haven't lost anything yet unless you sell your coins at a very low price.

Yes or even upto april,bitcoin is in pretty bad situation EMA200 and MA200 might be broke this means it would be the first time in the history of bitcoin the worst downfall of the cryptocurrency might be near,but lets hope that bitcoin will managed to survive this bloodbath.

Nothing rises forever, every market has ups and downs.  Crypto is here to stay though, this is just the first battle.  The war is not over.

In my opinion this down trend will only last until Chinese new year because they already run out of bad news regarding bitcoin and it is just a matter of time before this market will turn into green again.

I don't know how many days this down trend will stay. Past 2 weeks, we have watched many down trend in crypto prices. This is very frustrating news for investors and crypto-related people.

I think it was a completely sucker-eating operation.Investors were probably disappointed.I'm always on the waiting list because every fall has an exit.
I do not recommend it, but I think the current situation is a buying opportunity.

i dont think this will last until march though, bulls will be back soon. bitcoin might hit 6k level but thats it, if they let bitcoin drop more than that then they must be crazy.

To be honest, I'm just getting scared. Because I could never even think that we could fall so much. It is very strange for me to see such large volumes for sale, because I do not understand why it is cheaper to sell than the price for which I bought

perhaps the cause is the holding holders of coins trying to sell
the coins after meeting the sales target when buying cheap and then
sell it at a high price when this is the high price they start selling
coin bitcoin, altcoin them to earn money, multiply the amount
bitcoin, increase the amount of altcoin.
better hold it until the increasing period
return the bitcoin price or altcoin coins that were played at the time. or it could be
cutloss bitcoin, altcoin cutloss.
Whether the alcoin coin's bitcoin coin can go down constantly to the point
dangerous? relative depending on the circumstances of each type of coin respectively though
the coin of bitcoin or altcoin down as deep as it can certainly rise again however
the increase is still relatively dependent on market enthusiasts and market demand and strength
buyer of bitcoin coins, altcoin which is decisive when the price is too cheap
then automatically trading players bitcoin altcoin trying to buy the coins
at a cheap time then sell it back when the price is high because that's it
high price then on sale again so the price dropped in buy again price up and down again.

This is the wrong time to cut your losses right now because we already saw a huge correction in the last couple of weeks. We are going to bounce sooner or later, so just ignore your holdings and relax a little bit!

I guess this down trend relates to the Chinese New Year,that why we see all this bullshit ;)

Nope, there is no such thing that can speculate the price for that long, but if that bad scenario become reality the best thing to do is always not to panic and Hodl, no more no less.

I guess this down trend relates to the Chinese New Year,that why we see all this bullshit ;)

I do not know about you, but I will hold on until the market stabilizes. This has already been for me and red candles are not a reason for panic. I want it to happen faster, but I think everything has its time. There is a drop, there will be growth.

Yes it might be that long to recover,because we experienced the worst bloodbath in the history of bitcoin,but lets hope investors will comeback to bitcoin so the totalmarketcap of cryptocurrency would recover fast a long with bitcoin and altcoins.This is a very critical moment for bitcoin if this coin would still dominate the market or it could be replaced by ethereum which has better and stable price.

as the contrast on gesturicals with the message on moderation as leaving with nominal unit of symbol as with work of qualification,
those to shows as best on offers with the exchange of table,
as more to goes with the relatives on methodologicals as investors to work on decision as requestitng shifts of differences as the parts on work with the customs of displacement on qualifying entrance within the parts on schemes with the business of the crypto finance.

Morelikely yes,the trend is still bearish while our total marketcap keeps declining for about 3weeks,thus bitcoin's price dropped might trigger most of these investors to get out from cryptocurrencies which will result into another bloodbath,people who are getting panicked will worsen the situation which makes cryptocurrency market more volatile.

A major pull back, which we have experienced multiple times in the past as well.

Everything is speculation even the March mentioned is not assured. You will check the level of your loss and know  what to do. But me iam holding though i am 45%  down now. Holding to see what happens around that March.

Hard to say if the down trend will last for a while. Personnally, I am pretty confident into the forecasts. We could know this trends until mid march, then the market will be in a up trend. Let's hope that it will happen like this

Yes, this is a rather sad story, which I still hope will end very positively, because all this history with the fall of the crypto currency must have its end and still begin its journey to the moon.

March is not so long that people can't manage to hold their coins,  in fact that's the only thing we should do right now.  But it doesn't mean you can't even trade your coins,  it's still can be done if we are really in need of money.
It's gonna be hard to imagine that,  how far bitcoin and alts  drop from its peak to dip hell. But I know these things is just a test for everybody, and it's gonna be back somehow.

It might be true because the main trend is still in bearish region,crypto total marketcap is still declining because of the FUDs that we had few days back which triggered most of the investors to take their money out of butcoin.If bitcoin wont survive this declining trend ethereum might take its place which is better because it has more stable price and community than bitcoin,investors are looking for something more stable like ethereum.

I would advise not to sell now. If you sold earlier, at the peak or just after, then now is the time to consider buying back in. Take some perspective by looking at the 12 month charts. Back in November the current whole market cap would be an ATH... the current fall is just the inevitable follow-up to the December rise. Sure, it's a deeper fall than many (myself included) were expecting, but still, ignoring the anomaly of December we are still trending upwards.
Whatever you do, don't panic sell now! This is the time for steady hands and logical thinking.

I don't think the down trend will lasts that long since it already lasts for a month. It either stops this month or people will lose hope and start to question the capability of crypto again. But what worried me the most is that the full time crypto traders and holders has so much loss imagine how much they lose in just a month. We all know that crypto will reach its highest point after this struggle.

In fact, no one knows what will happen for sure. A lot of experts say that soon drop will be over and the price will go up.
My friends advise me to sell all my coins... ;D

Actually this huge dip will be over soon,  we just wait for that cause we can't make things to help crypto market for fast recovery.
Selling your coins today it seems to be not a good thing,  help to manage your self in keeping it for a moment or if not,  then just be sure you won't regret it once price will rise again.

Now really not worth anything to sell , just hold and keep . The main thing is not to commit irreparable mistakes , so you do not regret . Soon dawn

Few months ago when some people joined the crypto world, they ended up making a big mistake of cutting loss after a huge dump and a pretty crazy bloodbath during August before the Fork. Over time, the market bounced back and they regretted it.

For example, I bought Dogecoin at 36sats, it came as low as 14sats. I was part of them, sold for loss and hated the altcoin market only to see Dogecoin ended up reaching as high as 110sats in December. DO the mathematics! Never panic sell. If you have more funds, buy at the dips and swim in profit when the market recovers.

The damage from the previous bloodbath seems to be the worst in the history of bitcoin,200MA and 200EMA where touched by bitcoin,which means it is the very first time to happen in its history,all time low from the ath,this could trigger most of the investors get out from the bitcoin's market leaving ethereum to be their next choice or pick that could lead most of the altcoins,i am worried about how peole will work about it this is very devastating even in cryptocurrency history.

we'll know!!,see this great potential for next 2 months, I just believe in myself this will be the right profit for me,buy and hold it's me, but it depends on what action you hoping, I just following good opportunity and this a the time

Very interesting thoughts. I think that all investors are speculators on the cryptocurrency market since everyone wants to make a profit. Don't you think so?

I agree, just a few days after parties finish, and we'll see markets rise again.
We'll soon remember this down trend as a lost opportunity for many of us to buy cheap.

hodl till the world ends bro!

A lot of talk about the price decline is so sharp today, but there is no definitive explanation for the cause of the decline in prices of all types of digital currencies. All we have to do is hold back all the altcoins we have in the long run because most likely all types of digital currencies will be more valuable in the future.

All of the newbies that came in the big bull run in December have all bee wiped out now by the big players and they will not be coming back. They all now think Bitcoin and altcoins are a big scam so now we will see the market dive further and further down until Bitcoin hits July levels. I see Bitcoin going down to around 2k USD before I see any remarkable improvement in the marketplace and it will not be happening any time soon. Everything in crypto has popped now and the bubble has burst. For most of us it is over now the chance to become wealthy. Now I am just looking to gather some coins for my bread and butter, even that I do not hold out much hope anymore. I sincerely hope I may be wrong in this regard.

Yes, no one can say what the market can hold, we  have had longer downtrends for a longer period of time, but like someone posted on the thread, the recovery are always back stronger, so what is the point of selling when you know you have the plans to hold for long term anyway.

Selling now is more like giving the whales and institutions what they want. Panic, dump and then they start a rally when there is no one to dump anymore, only to see panic buying all over again which would be a huge loss as well.

I am not sure of it, but I believe it can be true. At least the market will be fluctuating for 3-4 weeks (minimum). Experienced traders can earn a pretty good sum of money is they use all these ups and downs in a smart way.

Not sure how you will be cutting your losses when we are most probable at the bottom now. IF you sell now, you might end up selling at the bottom and hence diminish any chances of recovering your losses that you may have had if you had bought earlier when prices were high.

if I myself would certainly be looking for profits from the market cryptocurrency, because from here investors and others that get a little big advantage ya in cryptocurrency. and this is where it's great to make a profit

It's really hard to tell when market trend down will last because it will depend on the people or investors. It is better to hold it than cut your loss because when you hold your coins you will not incur a loss since it is still there and  definitely the price will increase again.You will have more income if you wait.

I meant that some invest in cryptocurrencies just because someone told them or read somewhere that they can make money on it. Now they have a problem, because what has happened recently to the crypto market is terrible for them. Those who believe in the success of cryptocurrencies do not care about the current price drops, because they know that it is only a matter of time when the market will return to the upward trend.

You people that can't come to conclusion on your own cause these bear markets. You buy when people say buy and sell when people say sell. Well hate to break it too you but people are doing the opposite of what they are telling you, everyone is trying to make money and everyone has an agenda. Educate yourself.

I think the down trend is already over. Now we are waiting for slow growth. Now is the good time to buy.

Yes, It has rebound at 6k and should now show growing to the new hills. Give btc a month and it should be over 20k  ;)

All I know about crypto is that I know nothing about it if I said yes till the march it can be next week or opposite.We can only can good and lucky choices and taking positions near the whales :D

I don’t know how long the downtrend will last, but there are no signs of a reversal. Everyone was waiting for the bitcoin to push off from the level of $ 8,000 to $ 10,000, but it fell even lower. If panic starts now, then the rate may drop to $1,000, which will bring down the entire crypto-currency market. I think that the total capitalization of the crypto market will go down to $ 200 billion, after which the recovery will begin.

It may be true and I will hold my coins to awit for the other bull  market to earn more money.

Absolutelty you should hold coins.There are two things that are most important in this market. First thing is brave. Second thing is patient. So If you are brave and patient, you can earn more moneys.

I would not count that as a good advice. Anything that did not make you to buy at the top, or probably cut loss when maybe at 5% to buy back lower when the market started a deep correction, then there is no point selling after a pretty huge percentage.

Better still, you can hold on until it reaches that bottom and there is a chance of recovery in the market and buy more with fiat at that point; you will be so surprise the profit you will make in this situation.
