when market is going down what strategy you adopt??? like some people will sell or may be buy , some will hold or may be convert btc in usd.
i would like to know from all of you about your planning/ strategy.

Trading cryptocurrencies to $ when the prices drop is a big mistake, the opposite should happens actually. Better to hold your coins or buy if you can the cryptocurrencies which have a good potential and wait for a good opportunity to sell it.

when the market goes down, all it needs to do is hold. because with a holding strategy capable of holding back for the fall of the market going. indeed to hold very capable to improve the development going forward. so it will be very helpful and profitable.

The only strategy I've had is extending my patience knowing that the market will always recover of course part of it buying more from a highly potential coin that has a good history of recovering, this is how you make a profit from cryptocurrency and I have proven that time and time again.

Why not see if any of the exchanges you typically use offer short orders? If they do then you can choose to open some of those orders and make money off of a falling market, but again I don't know exactly who you can use since I haven't used them myself.

I used to make more patience because I've observed that you need to be patient here for you to able to get more profit, just hold it first then wait for the increase because sometimes a couple of months it will start again to increase.

It is always unpleasant when you face inadequate behavior of both people and organizations.
Take, for example, the gate.io exchange.
Registration is free, you can deposit as much as you want, when you try to withdraw even a penny - send out a bunch of documents for identification and wait three days until they check.

Obviously, on any request from the authorities all the salt.
But, then why not write at registration - our govnobizha will not let you deduce a penny, so first send the documents, then wait a lot of time, and then if we like everything, we'll register you. It would be honest, I would not just register and not experience any negative.

In general, I do not advise you to register and work there.

Just try to spend more money to pick up cheap coin when it will have reached the bottom. And then i can sell them all after a little recovery to get the decent amount. That's the best way in my opinion.
Remember you should always try to buy through a lot of parts to avoid any more dump will come.

When market goes down, I just monitoring the chart. And I try to analys what coin that have potential to get profit after I bought. It's mean I looking for coin that can get reversal position in short time, this is scalper strategic.

The best strategy when the market goes down is to hold with patience and wait for the market to go up again, because selling when the red market is a disadvantage. If you still have the capital, the market down would be a good time to increase the amount of investment, holding and waiting for price increases to be a step to be taken.

when the market goes down my strategy is to sell my coins to then buy at a lower price.

When the market price was down, the first thing I did was to calm down and watch the exchange rate to find out why the exchange rate fell so fast. Then rely on the actual situation will decide whether to sell cryptos or hold until the market rates recover. Normally, I would hold because the cryptos I invested were all potential.

my plan this month is because the market is suffering big enough I bought Altcoin quite a lot I bought Ethereum and Neo, I will keep it until the end of the year because of the possibility of market will be back as stable at the end of the year until the beginning of the year.

If you trade short positions, you can use stop-loss. If you trade for long then the main thing is not to sell at a loss.

Reducing the rate on the market is one thing that no one wants. But you need to calm down and analyze the market when the exchange rate drops, do not panic sell that will surely make you lose. Normally, if the exchange rate falls rapidly, the safest way is to exchange all the cryptos to USDT and hodl until the exchange rate reaches the bottom and invest in it. It's my strategy!

Well my usual trading strategy is buying some altcoins just for future speculation (SNTR, SHOP, Endor are a few) - these coins I move to BTC/ETH right away.

However, the altcoins that are actually worth holding, aka coins like Ambrosus or BNB, I simply hold and do nothing.

For me when the market is down i will just hold the coins i have in my wallet, if i say i am not affected at all by the market movement at all i am not telling you the truth. As i got confidence in the future of crypto so i am not very affected in the market movement.

I'm holding when the market is down because I'm gonna loose my investments badly if I do that. I also buy alts when the market is down because the prices are way cheaper.

That's wrong to sell if the market is down, you're like selling at loss if you recently bought in during the market high or when the color of the charts are green. But there are traders who are selling during the market down because they can't think of the recovery of those coins and they mostly giving up so they just sell it. What I do is just watch the market and when it goes down, if I have some money to invest then I buy but if there's none. I won't do something but only holding.

when almost all coin prices in the market decline, there is no strategy other than we have to hold a few moments of coins we have until the price will go back up again, and for example we still have the capital to buy it, we buy again with the price of coins that are currently down and cheaper than we bought yesterday, as for someone who sells some altcoin they have, because the person is panicked and it will hurt himself, if we can, do not make a sale when all the coin prices we have down.

if we already have assets when the market is down then we have to hold. if you do not have an asset, this is a chance to buy it.

Personally I am going to work on not checking the market every day.  No need and it just brings worry.  Maybe once every couple weeks check to see if we are at a potential floor but trying to time it with any more granularity than that is just gambling unless you are super skilled.

I most of cases i track the market and when BTC reach ATH i sell and be wait to correction. I sold on 10000$ and bought on 6100$ once again and now I bought some alts using BTC.

Some other person would be okay with selling off those assets after confirmation that price was indeed headed downward and then lay ambush for good entry points to buy again and ride the wave up again.It's worth the note that  Hodling is nor fail-proof and as a matter of fact, there abound hodlers here who are lost what to do having lost over 50% of their investment!

What I do when the market is down is to stay calm, it will surely rise back in time, most importantly we are patient when HODL, and if it can to buy because it does not mean the market is declining is a bad situation but also our opportunity to buy.

Usually when the market is in red, I like to buy a lot of coins that in my radar for the last couple of days. So I try to accumulate as many as I can and hold on it. Also I see to it that I don't sell at this time, just because others are offloading doesn't mean you will do the same. Besides, we all know that you are not losing money if you continue to hold, and it won't hurt your portfolio.

I guess I got immune already. I'm not saying that I'm not affected, of course its our nature to get frustrated seeing our portfolio down because of the current bloodbath, but I always remains in the positive. We have seen this many times, market dip, people panic and sell, and then once it recovers, they regret their decisions. I don't want to be that guy. So I stay calm and wait till everything settles down.

Trading coin for usd when the price is down is a huge mistake that must be avoided, fluctuation in price means alot in cryptocurrency

If the market would keep on going down for the next few days I'm just gonna buy more and more cryptocurrencies. To hedge my risks of losses because of the decline in the market. There's no way that the market does not go up.

Best strategy when market down is forget all about cryptocurrencies. Make another job/work to do, so it make you busy and forget crypto. Every time you see crypto market at red line, you will panic and lose control.
So forget it, try to check 1 - 2 times/day, its better to keep your eyes on. Some ppl use a strategy that sell at dip and buy at dipper to gain more tokens/coin but its a risk for a long-term hodling.

I think we are all have some thoughts in common when the market turns down. It is either we buy more coins, or hold the coins or as what you said convert btc in usd. And hopeful that soon the market will turns green.

If you believe in the growth of the price of the crypto currency, then the only correct strategy in the falling market is to increase your crypto portfolio. Of course, you need to have free fiat money for this.

This should depend on the market. I will convert part of it to USDT. this is a good idea. USDT should be hard to devalue. The remaining currency I will choose to forget it. It should be a small part of their share, not worth my panic.

When the market is in a downward trend, then I will convert most of the tokens into USDT.
Since you can judge the trend of decline, why not replace it with USDT and wait for the lower price to be bought back?

Down market is to buy even more coins as much as you can since the prices are drop and eventually when the market is increased then it will have a definite more profits for you just wait for the bull run.

Well, if in 17 year, everything was like a wave, and at this point already 2 times there was growth, now as current growth can be skipped more was not, all the crustaceans,and already 3 times dressed for 280kapitalizatsiyu, now it is very difficult to predict what will happen, but in the future, definitely cryptocurrency will cost normal money, especially when people begin to realize their value

So far, my plan is HOLD all my funds in the Crypto. I'm not going to withdraw my funds. In the long term, I am bullish. Trying to guess when the market goes down, and when up, in the short term I'm not going to. Therefore for me now strong HODL! And if suddenly I want to take my crypto currency, I'll change it for USDT.

Well in general if you are already down over 70% on your initial investments it makes very little sense to sell, you cant really do anything except hold on to what you have got.
But yea if you feel that markets are likely to go down more it could make sense to convert some portion of your portfolio in to USD.

My plans at the time of "bloody" days - to relax and not watch the currencies charts. Perhaps I go on vacation or just read more "good" books home. Well, I will continue to earn tokens meanwhile, the falling market doesn't interfere with this, although it undoubtedly interferes with good funding. Well, as my experience shows- for a good project this isn't a hindrance, they  collect the hardcap very quickly.

My strategy is simple wont check market price now I am waiting for some positive vibes I already invested once market got stable but this time everything happened in reverse. After each dip there should be one stable state then after price were increasing but this time that is also dint happened .

crypto currencies are constantly fluctuating on the charts and fluctuating in prices. my first plan to invest in catching the lowest price while falling down the market.

only planning I do is that I wait and do nothing. Most tokens I hold are utility tokens anyway, so the purpose is to gain the steady income with the platforms running

Since the market is down, I’ve been holding my coins, not thinking about selling it because I would just suffer loss. Unless i’m in dire need of money, then I have to sell some. The other thing that I would do when the prices are down is to buy more of my holding coins and sell it when the market recovers and goes back to green.

For me, it's always a standard operating procedure wherein you need to do what is better for your investment like holding your coins during bear market even if it takes a longer time of waiting just to avoid loss in your investment. This is also the best time in buying crypto's where market price value is cheaper at this situation. I strongly believe that crypto market will fully recover in the coming months as most of the people would wanted to happen.

there's a lot more you can do especially if you have a lot of money to invest. right now I'm just waiting for the moment to buy altcoin and bitcoin as an investment material in short janka. yes just a few months to get it

What do you mean forget the cryptocurrency? For how long? Maybe do you want to forget about crypto to make uouslef not panic to sell every asset you have. This is good enough to do but not the best i think. Actually buying back and play short term is best for me necause we can make small profit many time.

the best strategy is to dump the big coins that you have been bag holding and then moving on to the good smaller shitcoins that are getting pumped. enjoy their moment of fame and then moving on to the next pumping coin to constantly make profit.

In my opinion tge best strategy for times like this is to buy other tokens which has a really good potential and future and hold it till the market become stable

The best planing strategy is to keep holding during price fall because what ever you do during price fall you tends to lose in the sense that if you decide to change your bitcoin or sell during deeps you sell at a low price and that will lead to loses. So the best thing to do is to keep holding while you wait for the market to pick again.

Is it that simple to follow. Probably you are misguiding innocent newbies/traders. Because finding smaller coins which are currently being pumped is not a simple task for anyone. People may sell easily their big coins but moving those investment into currently hot coins is the task where they may get struck. I never recommend any one to get into smaller shitcoins. It is highly riskier than anything else.

A perfect plan for downmarket must be, simply holding what we are already having and buying more those highly established coins for cheaper prices. Buying more and continuing holding those big coins will not hurt anyone. But it definitely will fetch them big profits when market will be finding up-market.

I am mostly holding my coins. But at the same time I am also looking after changing my portfolio's as I get the chance to do it when crypto currencies are going down in the value. This way I can swap the coins which are not performing well or might not be good for the future perspective. So I am mostly holding those who are in good state, ready to moon and stuff like that. While I will always choose more coins (2-3) if I have money to invest over the others that are not in my list and I always wanted to have on board.  Thats the way it works for me. :D

When the market is down my plan is to hold it first then buy some more to have a profit when the market goes up again

Summer has come, so I relax a little and will rest and my tokens lie on wallet. Few months I will not check the balance and trade.

When the market is down, i usually buy cheap coin i trust and once its recover ill go exchange it to usdt. After that ill use that usdt to purchase cheap eth/btc once the market crash again. This is how i usually do during market crashes

In the falling market, too, there is a trading strategy so I continue to work. And those who held the coins I advise you to wait and sell nothing.

if there is still balance in wallet, hold. if the wallet is empty, the best plan is to buy top coins such as bitcoin or etherum when market down.

planning for down market is buying altcoin as much and holding up to the high price so we get big profit.

I will hold. And work in real life. or work as a bounty hunter. The price falling down from 3 months ago. So relax and still watching the price.

All we can do when the market is totally down are holding our coin and buying another good coin like ethereum, stellar, amd etc. You cant sell your coin because you will loss you money. I personally buy ethereum for my investment because i think the price will rise again as soon as possible.

Sometimes it's better to convert btc to usdt.but it must do with studying trading patterns and open eyes on news.Otherwise my suggestion is hold and buy more if market in a dip.I do tradings and I use trading patterns and always keep on eye with news about my holding alts.

If you are an inexperienced trader (even if you think of yourself differently), the best practice would be cashing out and lending the dollars or whatever fiat currency you prefer to use as a safe haven. Some exchanges, for example, Bitfinex, offer this option. Experienced traders may be looking for a shorting opportunity but they know about it very well without anyone telling them. So for most of us moving to fiat and waiting out the bad times seems to be the safest strategy, the least common denominator of sorts. If you are heavily invested in second and third-tier altcoins, selling them for Bitcoin or other major altcoins like Ethereum or Litecoin may look like a viable alternative (as others have already suggested), but don't forget that it is Bitcoin which is the primary driver of the whole cryptomarket, not the other way around.

I see every down market as an opportunity to buy as many coins as possible because I know that eventually this status would change. The market would jump back to being green and it will be the best investment you've ever made.
So my suggestion is to look at coins which have taken the worst hit in the market and the coins with somewhat lesser hit.
Then diversify your investments in those coins.
One such suggestion would be to invest in Remme coin. Now why I'm suggesting you Remme is because this coin has not taken as much damage of this dump and has been able to post a good recovery. The total market cap and volume too has increased and coin is ranked amongst top 500 coins on coinmarketcap. If long term growth is your choice, then go for it.

When market is going down i adopt following strategies.

1. Hold my coins which are going to up in price in future.
2.Sell my shit coins which are no more productive.
3.Exchange my shit coins with some strong coins to avoid my loss.
4.Buy more coins which tend to increase greatly in coming future.

I adopt these points and i have been very successful in my strategies.

personally, I think if the cryptocurrency continues to fluctuate in the chart and fluctuate in price.
my first plan to invest in the lowest price and wait for the price of the fall of the market.

There is no specific strategy in my current situation that I only use it by buying the best coins back at a fairly cheap price because I am sure the market will be back in the near future now, so this is a good opportunity where in the near future it will get multiple benefits after buying at a fairly cheap price, not a big threat in the current market conditions that there is a boon for me personally so do not take advantage of any good opportunities.

The only strategy that i have used when the market was dropping a lot to buy more and cheaper token. To minimize my lost and i should take the risk to recover it again. Through buy the cheap promising altcoin just like remme. The low marketcap altcoin will give me the more guarantee to get decent profit when some people will be pumping it in the future. Consider the idea of remme is really valuable.

if the market is red, it's better to buy it. to hold and sell when the market is green.

My strategy, well it actually depends. I'll research about the low value coins and I'll make sure that they are the legit one and the next move is I'm gonna buy them and forget about it. After few years I'm gonna take a look at the cons value. If you make it simple even down market is profitable sometimes.

Sell when the market goes down I think not the right choice because it will definitely make a loss. If the market goes down I will buy. This strategy is very appropriate in my opinion because if the price goes down and buy, surely when the price goes up will get a profit. And if the price stays down after buying, I'll buy some then hold it until the price returns to normal. That's the strategy I usually use.

most asked questions, most answers are actually incorrect.

1º It's false that the market will recover.

2º it's false that the market will recover fast

3º It's false that your holding will make any difference in the market (since the important whales, sharks and aggresive traders are those able to change the market).

4º The market has been going down , almost 69% downs for ETH. and the Cap of the market down by 70%. considering everything will return to high numbers is just a guess that its bound NOT to happen.

5º The best to do is :

If you've already lost a little money - SELL
If you've already lost a LOT of money - HOLD
If you've won Little or a lot of money - SELL

The market is going down. This cannot be debated. It is what it is. Who is gonna grant you that holding you won't lose more money? NOONE!!!! They are only trying to control you from taking rationable decisions to keep as much money as possible.

The most important: legislations, taxes, laws, controls and almost all countries are trying to control your money. The situation of Crypto IS NOT THE SAME IS THE PAST YEAR!!!! This is the ENORMOUS AND BIGGEST ERROR PEOPLE ARE MAKING. They consider the market to be "independent" from this situation of laws and legislations that are being passed.

Investors, can buy very cheap right now. A few days ago , SEC said ETH was not considered a security. The price increased, but it's going down another time. Not even very good news are pushing the market.

For me the market is dead. And holding is just a disaster and you´ll regret it.

Do not buy anything in a falling market, it's not right, do not repeat my mistakes. Better get away from the market altogether, get busy with something. And then you will constantly look at your balance and spoil your mood.

I'm in a comfortable position that when the market is dropping I will buy some highly potential coin and wait for the market to recover because I know that this is natural and the market will soon recover and this is where the money comes in from hodling your coins.

crypt is a very young market, the market is now in a beautiful decline and the time to buy everything after all will soon come trillions of dollars into this market

From March onwards all my strategies going wrong even I have tried with multiple combination of trading all failed now I am doing only one thing patiently waiting for best pump . Holding most of my coins and tokens . Not sure when will be the big pump still waiting most of my high prediction coins trading less than 50% .

Your strategy will give you an profits and that's what I used now. In this fallen market the best thing to do is buy more and hold your cryptos. But if you are worried it is up to you if you want to cut your losses.

When we all saw that the market down there are lot of curricular activities happen in the crypto world. What I always did when the market is down, I tend to hold my tokens and coin because I know that in a certain time it will boost up and get a higher value once again.

I think if I can I would sell all my BTC and ETH to USDT then I'll buy them back after with lower price. But I missed that chance so for now, I'm still holding BTC and ETH and wait until King and Queen of crypto world rise back to the moon or maybe even Mars ;D

I guess it all depends on your strategy and you aversion to risk. If you are for the long run, then I think there is no need to sell. In fact, if you are a holder, then you probably just want to hold what you have and keep buying more as you can. This way you will get the best price for your investment, as you buy your way down.

If you can't handle exposure, then you should sell to fiat, and try to get the bounces the market has. We recently had that bounce of almost 10%, so that would be a great profit. We will probably have another leg down, followed by these short bounces, until we hit the bottom and start another bull run again.

For me, the hold strategy works best. I don't need to keep checking the price, and I just need to buy every time crypto falls, and then just keep holding. Most investors are still very bullish. For example, we will probably have ethereum futures soon, so crypto is not dead at all.

I was stupid enough to care about huge transaction fees back in the days of $17k price, so I was holding and lost a lot in dollars. Now there's nothing left but to wait until the market recovers and sell some btc when I need money. Otherwise I would probably buy or try to earn bitcoin now, since the price is really low and it is pretty obvious it will be high again. I was recently looking at the chart of btc and found out that such a price drop already happened to it in the past! In 2013 the price went to $1k and in a year it went down to $250 or so! What we have now is pretty much the same, but with more fuss, as bitcoin is a lot more popular and has bigger marketcap now.

The answer is very simple, right now that the market prices are decreasing then the best thing that you can do is invest even more because you will just lose a huge amount of profit if you are going to sell it in the market today.

Buy a little more on each deep, sell a little more on each bull run

If you have money , you should do investment to altcoins. On the other hand , if you are holding , wait for the good moment for market.Dont be rush.Be patient.

the best option that can be done by investors is to hold and buy more assets because the moment of this market price decline should be utilized for profit, hopefully we will get a lot profit

Because of the decline in prices in the market of crypto currency, people have a feeling of not confidence and now there are a lot of whales on the market. But this is temporary. The main thing is to wait a little.

Very good time for investment.What can you do while falling market ? Sell or buy ? I prefer buy of course. Search and find altcoins which have more potential.Go invest them.

When market conditions crypto market is declining better do not think much to make the most appropriate trading strategy because in fact only one strategy is most appropriate when market conditions like that is make a purchase or start to enter the market to invest, the reason is because it may be in the future will come we will not see market conditions with the price of crypto as cheap as now.

I would buy Ethereum if I had extra money and still hodl all my existing coin. IMO, what's happening right now is part of a cycle and the market will eventually go to a more profitable phase in the future.

You've two option to survive when market is going down, first is buy more potential cryptocurrency because price is very low, second option is hold your assets and wait for price rise, never convert your cryptocurrency to fiat money when market down, you'll lose a lot of profit if sold early

When the market is down you actually have to buy more coins that is the rule to get successful in the crypto currency so we have to buy more if we can or better continue to hold.Or if you think the price will fall more then better convert it to USDT then buy bitcoin again at the lower price.

Most of the people are worried when the market goes down , why ? well , I'm just kidding , even I would be worried  about that .But the cool thing here is , if you have great knowledge about crypto you can buy some good potential coins and HODL the one which you already have and you can sell them later when the value goes high . so down market is also helpful and profitable . selling coins when the market is down , that's totally worst . all you have to do is HODL .

If the price goes down and in the long run the return is just a matter of waiting if our plan is to hold for a long time. Then do the analysis and research to find out what causes the price reduction it can happen. After that make another purchase at a low price when there is a price decline in the market.

I have told this countless times. It is a bad move to dump your coins when the market is in a vulnerable state. It is not a smart decision and it will just show how restless you are. Always be patient and wait for the values to rise because they will for sure after a period of time. So HODL all the way and never give up.

Actually I do not do short term trading, but I do long term trading. When the crash that happened several days ago I was late to see the price movement, I finally decided to hold. It depends on your position, if you have space and if you sell the investment you don't have loss you are entitled to sell it, but if you late as I experienced you can hold a while.

both are good to do and it depends on the tastes of each. It might be better to hold the course to make it quieter if at any time if the circumstances of up and down. If selling an impress then back away very weird and too hasty because any time should actively monitor.

Here is my strategy. First, I will hold my btc strong and wait for a chance to accumulate altcoins because they will sink deeper than btc. And I will prepare fiat to get more btc when it gets cheaper. This is a great time to invest more into crypto.

maybe I'll do it just as if I have an asset that's still in the form of btc or eth coins I'll save up the price with a safe point ..
because all the coins are currently in the critical period or come down drastically ..

I can agree with you only if you already have a lots of knowledge about crypto, buying or accumulating alts also needs to have a lots of research, as most of the time when bitcoin drops alts drops more like what you have said, but when bitcoin recovers it took time for alts to recover back, as those who been trapped before will simply cash out and try to break even, so you also needed to wait for your term, the situations is normal and for people who already familiar with the trend creating new strategy for both short and long term is needed.

When market prices go down, the first thing you do is to calm and observe the exchange rate to find out why the exchange rate is falling so fast. Then depending on the actual situation will decide whether to sell cryptocurrancy or hold until the market price recovers. You are used to make more patient because I have observed that you need to be patient here so you can get more profit, just hold it first and wait for the increase because sometimes sometimes a few months it will start to increase again.

If you have the capability to buy then go ahead. If the market price is going down, now is the good time to held as much asset as you can. Holding you asset until they have grown in value makes you profit and therefore it is unwise to sell while the price is low because it will cost you to lose your asset's value.

I use the best strategy of perseverance and patience. If you don't have it, then you cannot survive in the world of crypto. When the market is down, most people think about selling odd and panicking and worrying about their assets. But I will always hold my assets and wait for the best possible time to sell my coins.

accumulate more for projects that i believe in. for those whom have run up too much, probably sell some if u believe that their potential is overrated etc. also consider direction of overall market sentiments.

Whenever market going down then my strategy is always buy as mostly people sell at down trend and buy when market going up. I always get most profits because i buy when people sell and i sell when people buy.

I agree with every point you made so far. Many people here seem to be living in a fantasy world they imagine for themselves (in which they are new Warren Buffetts) but cryptomarket is not a Disneyland, not anymore. It was different way back, like 3-4 years ago, when holding actually made sense, but now it turned into yet another financial market where most couch potato traders are set to lose and they are already losing massively.


The only point which I disagree with is this one. The market may be dead for you personally but it doesn't mean it is dead as such. Basically, we should remember that cryptocurrencies have their strong sides as opposed to or compared with fiat currencies, and while the market may be dead for most coins (or soon will be), some of the coins may still get wider adoption over time in real life. It is like natural selection. Damn it, it is selection with the survival of the fittest coin(s) as far as selection is concerned.

When the market is down my plan is to hold it first then buy some more to have a profit when the market goes up again

Every time the prices of cryptocurrencies on exchanges or markets there are lot of traders and investors are busy on thinking what decision are they going to used whether they will buy more or sell. I have only one decision when i see that the prices are breaking down again, I will buy more tokens and coins in the prices that below to it's normal price and I will hodl them until the markets will be stabilized again.

That's true. You have to make sure if the market goes down because if that happened then eventually it is the best time to buy if you have an aloted budget for investment. That woukd be a great time for you than selling it also.

You sure about that? Was it not smart to sell when it dumped from 20k to 15k? Holding forever is the best way to lose 90% of your money, looking at the price tank everyday can't be healthy mentally, unless you can afford it. I would not hold cryptos for more than a few weeks, months at most.

You both are right in fact. Indeed, when the price is high and you haven't yet lost too much or stay in the green territory yet, it makes perfect sense to close your position as fast as possible (when the prices start to crash), even if it means losing something. But if you already lost like 90% of your investment, closing your position under these circumstances doesn't make sense unless you urgently need money. Losing the rest would not be a big deal anyway already, but if you choose to sell, there is no way back, no matter how you look at it.

I bought a little Ethereum in the falling market. I do not invest in alternative crypto-currencies as it is very difficult to predict their rate for the near future.

To collect more altcoin by joining in any bounty program, and trying to hold for long period, or maybe buy some alt that have potential and hoping one of this days that have more profit.

If you believe in the growth of the price of the crypto currency, then the only correct strategy in the falling market is to increase your crypto portfolio.
My plan is to wait. I will buy more ethereum if I have capital. Hope the market will return soon.

if you decide to sell, then only with a profit, otherwise you just need to keep it.  Together with this you can buy while the market below.  and of course it's necessary to increase the number of coins on the waves of the market.

Mostly-holding, this is my main strategy. Hold till the market goes back in normal again. During that I can sell some amount of coins just to get fast money. Thats it.

Never sell your coins if you are down big time. Try to stay calm and staying away from all this for a couple of days is even better. But if you are a day trader then market in red is a great opportunity to make a couple of bucks off of some altcoins.

Well, you should never allow your investment to lose 90% of its value. People always say, don't sell, it will eventually comeback but the crypto does not "know" what you paid, nor does it care. If the market enters a big downtrend like this one, it would be a good idea to sell even at 90% loss. You shouldn't judge the moment to sell or buy by the amount of money lost or won, you should judge it by how the market is acting.


Trends tend to persist, last time it was a few years, imagine a few years of downtrend right now, it could go to 1k, who knows.

This may be my strategy, if I buy at a high price I will hold it until the price rises above the buy price. If I have some money, I'll buyback because the price is currently dropping.

I'm not going to plan nothing!! downtrend market must come to an end!
it's more than 3 months now. It should atop anytime soon now. We can't live with this downtrend anymore!
So please whales!! stop it!

If I have investment and suddenly market fall, I usually HODL. Because nothing will be good with panic. Rather I try to know the reasons and what would be its impact in the market. But if I have no investment on that time, I do analysis and try to trace the one which would be profitable in coming days.

holding is the best way forward in my experience with crypto. It keep falling down and then it grows back up even more than before. I am very confident this will be the case again

I see your point but I still disagree that you should necessarily sell when your investments have already lost most of their value. Of course, you should have sold a way earlier than now but this is another question. But if we are talking about major currencies like BTC, ETH, LTC, etc, it is unlikely that they are going to kick the bucket any time soon. So what's the point of selling them right now when it may in fact be worth considering to buy even more (just kidding)?

As an aside, even if you had bought bitcoins at 20k, you would have lost only like 70% of your invested capital by now. Losing 90% would mean prices around 2k. Do you still think it would make sense selling bitcoins at prices this low?

We still need to wait and buy more, because the market will still return to growth, it's certainly a matter of time, but I would not sell!

I see someone getting doubly and thoroughly burnt by following your suggestions to move from well established cryptocurrencies to shitcoins! In this business of buying and selling of digital assets, patience is such an indispensable virtue, those that fail to have it, almost always end up running from pillar to post. A right thing to do is to continue HODLING, having held it thus far, until price reverses and which is most likely as long as it's one of the main cryptocurrencies.

This is a golden opportunity for us to invest long-term in the world of cryptocurrency. Many Altcoins have good projects that are undervalued. I suggest for all of us, select at least 20 quality altcoins, and keep at least up to 3 - 10 years ahead.

If anybody in this group knew how to time the market correctly to that degree they wouldn't be here. They would be flying their Gulfstream jet to their private island for the winter. And they sure as hell wouldn't be telling anyone else how to do it.

For me when the bull market starts getting old I just accumulate more btc as opposed to buying more altcoins. But I never sell a good alt. I just wait for more buying opportunities.

I usually don't keep any of my trades overnight and especially don't over the weekend. I also set very smalls goals for myself regardless of how much people or analysts may think an alt will go up by. Day trading on an hourly basis has proven to work for me and also minimizes risk so I stick with this strategy.

Also, for times like this where the market is red for consecutive days or even at times where my luck is just terrible, I just take a break. Trading is a skill, you're not always going to read the market well.

I think it is appropriate if you buy a coin when the price drops,
for example you buy bitcoin at 6000 $ and now become 7000 $ you already get profit 1000 $

Mostly my strategy is the same, when the market is falling I just wait for it to fall further and when it seems like the price has bottomed out and is starting to regulate at a particular position then I buy in wait for the next recovery. Selling during a down market is really not an option for me, I don't make my living off of cryptos so I can afford to hold my coins and wait for the long run.

At the point when economic situations crypto showcase is declining better don't think much to make the most suitable exchanging methodology in light of the fact that in actuality just a single technique is most proper when economic situations like that is make a buy or begin to enter the market to contribute, the reason is on account of it might be later on will come we won't see economic situations with the cost of crypto as shabby as now.

I used the bear market to study and learn from mistakes, and ultimately, prepare for the next bull.

If you do or are doing the same, you'll be fine long-term. Adoption has not happened yet. But it will. We are early.

The bitcoin has already grown to 8,113 and I think it will go further up, but it's hard to say about the altcoyns, they did not follow it, so when they start growing it's hard to say. Therefore, the strategy to buy bitcoin for 6000$ still justifies itself.

My plans are to monitor the market and wait for the best position for me. Crypto market is always good: when it falls, and when it grows. Differences make it possible to sell more expensive and buy cheaper. When the market just falls and does not grow, I just wait.

when the market drops so low my planning usually endures with the existing conditions, and I also think that a good plan in dealing with the decline is to hold first and wait for stable or improved conditions.

In the event that the market would continue going down for the following couple of days I'm simply going to purchase increasingly digital currencies. To fence my dangers of misfortunes as a result of the decrease in the market. It is extremely unlikely that the market does not go up.

Plan by selling when it's high, I've been buying it up on the dip as I sold around 12-15, got greedy when it was 19k and learned my lesson.

It's a wrong way to sell when the market falls, and if you have a lot of bitcoins you can keep it on, if it's altcoin and try to sell it to USDT.

The best thing you can do if you don't know what to do then translate everything into USD. at least you won't lose anything.

If I had stayed in BTC, I wouldn't have lost my profit. For the people like me, the best way is hold now. I hope everything will be fine soon

When the market falls I just wait. I'm not nervous or panicking, I'm just waiting. Crypto market cannot fall all the time. I do not buy coins at the top, I buy them at the bottom. And even if the coin is still falling, I know it will rise even to a price that is higher than the purchase price.

I think it's best to be prepared for everything and not to keep coins that can not bring profit ..

This method is already a lot of people who already know, but the fact is if you have money $ 6000 I will be sure you will think thousands of times to remove it. It has become a dilemma for everyone who wants to buy bitcoin because of the issue of pricing, the bitcoin price has dropped dramatically but the person wants the bitcoin price to be lower than that.

By and by I am will deal with not checking the market each day. No need and it just brings stress. Possibly once every couple weeks verify whether we are at a potential floor yet attempting to time it with any more granularity than that is simply betting except if you are super gifted.

enough to hold back and not panic selling. It is already a good thing and good decisions to be made. If you can even buy more when prices fall to low points for saved as additional assets for long term investment in the next few years. It was the best decision that could be made of the need to sell at a loss.

I usually put stoploss when the price goes down around 3%, and I transfer to USDT and wait to caught the bottom, then I will put  the price to sell around 10% compare with the price when I bought

if the market continues to decline and not yet come back I will invest in Altcoin promising and wait for altcoin prices to return stable because there are many people who say if the altcoin and bitcoin prices are stable they will sell altcoin that peacock then if the market has not returned stable I will invest all my altcoin in the long run

Most backers are considering taking a moderate risk on intricate markets aside of a few definite chance appears, such as a new token.

If you do not know how to trade it is best to keep it for a long time.Though as practice shows-have earned more all those who made the rebalancing of the portfolio !

when the market price is down, all it can do is hold. because hold is the best way when the price is down, with the hold we will not lose anything. that's our way of not losing money.

This is quite simple, you will sell all the coins you have to USDT then wait to buy to increase the number of coins you keep. You have to pray if you just sold it back to pump =)

When the matket is down for investors it is an opputnities as they will be able to buy coins what they want in the low price while differrent things go for investors who have already invested as they will be facing bloody market and make some losses from thei coim invesments.

If you see the prices drop, there are some tactics you can do. After you sell your hands, you can invest again at low prices. Or just wait until you arrive at a new rising period. Somehow the prices will rise again one day :)

I probably still do my job as one of the blessed participants in the campaign that I am belong. I will not bother myself if I do not have business when the market goes down.

I did plan for the down market, or at least,,, I thought I did. The first time was last year, when everything went down, I bought a few alts. But they crashed even more after I bought them, I held. Luckily December and January came and I everything recovered so much, so I was able to sell almost every alt for x2 price to recover capital. And whatever I had left I kept.

I bought more a few months later, but guess what? They all fell again. Except for Verge which I profited twice again.

Now holding the same alts I had, waiting for another recovery.

When the market was down, most of the time I had a big drop in the value of my token.
So I'm not going to do anything at this point, I'm going to pretend that I haven't bought any tokens, and I'm going to keep holding them.

When market and bitcoin or altcoin have lower price my planning is buying and make reinvestment on potential altcoin have growing price, I will make re investment on some altcoin I think can be the next and have profit take for the future, I can buy on ethereum or any other altcoin have more chance for growing up price later for several weeks.

Best thing you can have is a reserve somewhere from profits or something else, used in case the market is down, to buy in.  You need some character for that to leave it untouched(and used at the right moment).  It's always easy and deceptive to talk about rises and downs afterwards, there is no telling from the start.
For me since i don't sell my Crypto for fiat, i try to increase my coins when they drop, selling and buying.  But the drops usually get the better hand, so i end up just holding my bag, done trading and waiting for the rise.
Then doing the same, buying and selling to increase my coin when the market is up, finally i sell a coin, which i won't hold and keep those as a stash for when the market is down.(ideal scenario)  

in case i feel panic-stricken, i convert it. but usually just wait and see. again, when you invest affordable amount it's not that heart breaking to lose

All we could do was just wait a growh and hold or buy more coins at a low price. we continue to wait  and hold now, but at least bitcoin started to grow a little, after a while the altcoyins will begin to grow.

You are right, everyone has their own strategy, and you need to choose the right one so that you do not lose your money. When prices decline, the main thing is not to panic, do not sell your coins, and soberly assess the market situation. You can also buy some tokens using low prices.

as long as we are right in reading the situation and can take advantage of the last month when the coin price is all red, maybe this time if it is still on hold, it will benefit, but if you want to buy it now I think it is less recommended

The best way to plan for down  cryptocurrency market is to have chunk of your fund in Bitcoin.  Bitcoin is relatively stable compare to most Altcoin. Another way is to hold fiat also,  fiat can buy you more cryptocurrency in down market.

Most holders are planning having less of a position on shaky scenarios except  for a explicit opening shows up, like an ICO that can really deliver value long term.

When market is down my planning is invest in market more  and then hold it till then market go up. Then i will get more profit from the market.when market is down then always hold with patience is a excellent strategy.

The best is to buy altcoins which have strong projects at very low prices and hold them to get maximum benefits from it as this market has long growth potential in mid term. Those who have patience are always rewarded more here.

if the market knows that the crisis will last more than a few weeks, I try to speculate. buy and sell all coins within 1 or 2 days. for example, buy some kind of cryptocurrency for$ 100 to sell it for 110, then wait for it to fall again and again the buyer.

When market is going down I will stay calm and I will hold it until the market up again. Don't harsh to sell now but it depends on you if you sell immediately for me i will wait until it comes back again. Goodluck

I hold the coins I have right now, but I also have plans to buy more coins. this is a good opportunity for us to increase investment, because after the dump that happened so long, it will happen massive pomp.

if a person can play in a falling market this is also very good, you can earn as much as in a growing market. After all, the main thing is to understand where the course will go

if I'm better to wait, everything we have to be patient for profit, our main capital is just patiently first, if emank price goes up we get profit, this is in the intent of the result of our patience later.

Both strategies are right but there is anotherone that consist in increasing the global percentage of crypto pf. For example after a big crash it' s possible closing a little part of a position (like gold) and buy btc

But what if during the time you bought your coins, the market went down even more? What would you do? That's a very difficult situation and it really depends on what you can stomach, and what your speculation is of the market.

I chose to buy the current ethereum, and maybe some other altcoin. I think this is a good opportunity for me to start investing again, because previously there was a pump in late 2017 so I did not dare to invest.

some of which I did, I switched to USD and when the market goes down I buy ETH in the market, then start buying tokens and i sell tokens when bitcoin raise and switched it to bitcoin again and it was quite effective for me.

Mostly when I see a down market then I just secure my wallet in preparation for the long hold. There really is nothing else to do in a down market besides buying some coins an holding the ones that I already have. I am going to observe the market for a while longer and see if the prices will go lower so I can buy some more coins for much cheaper prices.

I will get more profit from the market. When the market is down then always keep patiently is a very good strategy. When the market goes down my planning is to invest in more markets and then hold up until then the market goes up.

You may never be able to tell what to expect from the crypto market, sometimes it's volatile nature catches everyone in aware leading to massive losses in the market. However you only make losses when you sell.  If you don't sell and moreso Dont sell cheap then you have nothing to worry  about,. Keep holding on to those coins

It is too late to act when you notice that it has become a down trend. You had better not sell altcoin at that time. If BTC once again challenges the most high price, it is good to sell it at that time and see how it is going. It is not good to be greedy.

which I see the market is a little green and so with so now many people are waiting for the market and altcoin prices back stable because it was a few months ago market prices and altcoin until now has not returned let alone a few days ago altcoin prices are still up and down.

my plan will be to save the coin coin in the wallet because this coin is the result of bounty hunter .. hopefully later this will be a sweet result that can be enjoyed for all ..

if I think personally I would prefer to buy when the price of crypto is at a low price. then sell it when its price is worth high. during the waiting process I will invest in other fields.

Memes and lambo dreams are fun and all, but I know many of us are investing thousands of dollars into crypto, so its worth it to put some organized thought into it as well. I can't stress enough how important it is to try and logically construct your investment decisions. If you follow a set methodology, a checklist and template you will be able to do relative comparisons between cryptocurrencies, to force yourself to consider the negatives and alternative scenarios and also sleep comfortably knowing you have a sound basis for your investment decisions (even if they turn out to be wrong).

I predicted a few months ago that we would have a major correction in 2018 specifically in the altcoins that saw massive gains in December/early January, and it seems we've already had a pretty big one. I don't think we'll have a complete meltdown like some are predicting, but some more pain may be incoming.

Basically, take this time to think about how you can improve your investment style and strategy. Make a commitment to value things rather than chasing FOMO, and take your time to make a decision. Long-term investment will grant you much more returns as will a systematic approach.

Will my plan if the market go down is just like other do. HOLD because if you have coin and you suffer down market and loss profit. You should hold it. Dont be scared that your token will be more on depth. As long as you think the team of the market strategies on the currency is strong it will soon get up

I think holding is not the first option. I think all you have to do first is stay calm because the fear will only make you panic. then do a
reseacrh and analyze how the continuation of the price will continue to decline or stop. then you can determine what you should do

My strategy to face this condition when the market still goes down are keep my coins and don't sell itu until the price of my coins increase. And if i have a lot of money, i will invest and buy altcoin. Because i really sure that feeling months later the price will be increase and i will be get profit from my altcoin.

when the market price down a lot of strategies that we can apply, but each person has its own goals and plans. one to consider is hold crypto with the intention of the price will rise and we return to profit, or the most often I apply is when the price of the coin is down I will try menaci coin other movements increase then I will sell the cointersebut and switch to the coin increased

If there is a crypto that drops very sharply during a crypto market decline, it does not necessarily mean that the crypto will experience the greatest increase in the next cycle of increase. If in the previous increase cycle you find a crypto that has increased significantly, does not mean the crypto will also experience a big increase in the next bourse cycle. The bottom line is very dynamic, history is also always repetitive, but does not mean repetition will also occur in certain crypto only. The recurrence is the cycle, not the development of a particular crypto

The best strategy when the market goes down is to stay patiently and wait for the market to rise again, because selling when the red market is a loss, expanding my patience by knowing that the market will always recover, of course its share buys more than a very potential coin that has a history of recovery good.

When the market is down my planning to invest more and then hold up until then the market gose up.

my strategy when the market is down is buying more coins at a cheap price and I always do this in the past. besides that, I am selling some of the coins while the price still good to take the profit especially for selling bitcoin because I can buy back again if the price is down. and I still hold the other coin that is not good to sell while I have a chance to buy more amount of that coins. so far, my strategy can work well for me and I can increase the amount of every coin I have and right now, it's waiting for the increase of the price.

In a falling market, I try to find a point for a short, or I just wait for signs of a reversal and I go long. The truth is that it's not always possible I get some losses but it pays off with one good deal

If it falls, then it is necessary to buy. And if it grows, then sell it. Competent investors always do that. But it is desirable to guess sdes with the moments of both trends: when falling - to grope for the end, and when lifting - on the contrary the beginning. And here is just the complexity.

it's really a good thing to do, but not everyone can survive without selling their coins, especially for people who really rely on crypto as their work, for example, is a daily trader, of course it's very difficult to do that because they have to playing capital so they can continue working

Holding is the best thing to do and patience is the best thing to acquire during market dumps in order to avoid worse instances such as losing morebprofit completely. Dumps are tempoeary and waiting for it to stop and recovery to happen, is indeed a smart move. Those who are panic selling meets their regret at the end especially to those cryptos which market value are continuously growing for a long run.

I would hold because the cryptos I invested were all potential, a couple of months it will start again to increase.

actually, everyone has their own way to manage their crypto assets when the market price goes down like this. Personally, I will hold back the coins that I have for a while until the price rises again and stabilizes. if I sell the coins at a cheap price then I will get a loss.

At the moment the market is falling I will hold and wait is sure that it will rise again. Holding will just be a waste of time if a token's market value is not  growing. It does depend on the token that an investor is holding.

Ideally I would have my coins on an exchange and set a stop loss for 10%... this was not the case for a couple of my coins during the recent downturn and they have lost quite a bit in value as Bitcoin and the market in general declines. So my strategy is just hold, because it can't be much worse to be honest ;D so what do we have to lose vs what we have to gain?

Just today i did something. I wanted to sell a particular coin, but immediately i noticed that its price had gone down, i decided to pend selling it. So, if the price of any coin is down generally, the best thing to do is hold and wait until it gets better.

The easiest strategy for me is to pull out much of my holdings from the altcoins and move on to bitcoins as it is less prone to lose its value than the altcoins

If you have BTC it is better to convert to USD when market is going down. And when btc is at dip, buy BTC using USD then buy alts who have good opportunity of price going up. Best time to buy alts is when the market is down. It prevents you of becoming FOMO later on.

My plan for this bear period in the market is to take full a of it to buy more tokens at a cheaper then hodl till the market recovers.

The best thing is to try to get some fiat and invest in btc or eth, and keep hodling, remember that the first increases are felt in this currency and then it progresses to the others, so it is best to have some btc or eth saved to take advantage of the market when it rises.

If you have the fore knowledge about the down trend you can use the opportunity to sell ahead of time and buy dip later. Don't just follow  the trend because this market is very volatile.

Actually,when the time comes that market is on the red and down,it will be a great opportunity to everyone to earn a big profits,through by buying and holding it for a long term,while waiting for the right time of selling. We don't need to get panic,instead keep on your mind that in every investment,you need to take a risks to be rewarded in the end.

my strategy when the market falls is to sell everything, and wait for the price to become the cheapest to buy again

Standing out on the market you will find many special things of this market. We should avoid thinking in the direction of the market. I think this market will continue to go down

Te most obvious and possibly most effective is to sell immediately and set buy order lower. This way you will make some advantages of the bear market but at this point i do not know is it wort to do something with the alts, it seems that te market is destroying itself with all out panic, the eth is just crushed.

I have sold most of the coins I have, because I saw this year that it was very difficult for cryptocurrency to develop. My current plan is to wait for the moment to buy back the crypto assets that I have sold before at a cheaper price, and then I will sell them again when I have a certain profit, I will not hold the coin in the time base.

My plan is to buy some good coins at the right low price locations. Sudden collapse, I feel that large institutions have made coins in their hands to cash in.

My planning while the markets are down I will buy more outcomes that have a more promising to have a profitable. Hold all the coins that I brought and wait for the time to rise up again.

my plan is to run away from crypto and never look back.

My plan is simple. I am going to sell the coins accumulated from the bounty at current prices, I will wait until the last while continuing to increase the number of coins.

Some experts say bitcoin will return to bullish soon. So you don't need to control the chart on the coin market every day so you will experience panic. I am sure, the more you panic to see the value of your coins decreases, you will be frustrated and sell coins quickly. So calm down, hold your coin until you receive the news that the coin rises immediately.

if my plan with the current market conditions is falling then I will buy a lot of altcoin and bitcoin to be held in the long run. because if the price of coins rises then the profit will be large

if everything is constantly falling and constantly knocking out orders in the footsteps - just keep in bitcoin and wait for better times and I'm doing now

If the market is down, the best thing for you to do ia to hold your coins so.that youc an gain a lot of profit when you sell it when the market recovers.

If the market is down, the best thing for you to do ia to hold your coins so.that youc an gain a lot of profit when you sell it when the market recovers.

I just would to do like most part of investors. If times so hard, you should to hold and don't panic abut this. It's better to act after the storm.

I try not to keep coins in long-term, as it is likely to lose part of the deposit. only in the short term with the obligatory setting of stop loss

If you are planning for the down market then you should know to buy coins when the market is down, avoid panic selling and make sure that you are holding all of the coins that you have bought so far. The down market can be very brutal so be ready for the worst.

When the market goes down in my opinion the best solution is to wait and wait, because to panic and sell at a loss is obviously a bad idea.

Depending on how severe the decline in the market is going. When this is just down some just naturally better hold and wait. but when it comes down too deep then the anticipation can sell only in quick time to cut losses. It might even be well when markets are falling will be a good time to go in and buy while prices are still in a condition that is quite cheap.

The great thing about crypto being repeatedly beaten to a pulp all year is that we can't go that much lower. There's too many of us will just keep buying these fire-sale dips.

price drops are not things to be too into the mind of panic. While not yet selling loss too far to cut losses is one good way to do. still hold and wait also became a good enough thing to do in a situation like this. even when still have capital then wait until low prices and then buying is a pretty good chance.

For me, it would be good for me to save it for a long time, I have to wait for the bitcoin market to rise in the coming year.

My plan when the market is down is to buy altcoins I would like to hold and wait for the right time to sell it.
I choose to buy is ethereum,cardano,EOS and NEO these altcoins has a potential to give me a huge profit in the end of the year.

if the market goes down, shop immediately, the holder is expected not to worry about the situation. if there is a slight concern it is better to convert your token or coin to usd, because usd is a very stable currency

yes, for the market situation, there are still many ways to invest in promising altcoins and wait for the altcoin price to stabilize because patiently and waiting for market prices to stabilize, the best way,
