The dynamic situation of cryptocurrency these days in general responded by three ways: selling panicly with the risk of cut-loss in order to save the remaining assets from more fallen, hold the assets and playing save by not doing any trading activities, and view the phenomenon as a diamond chance then buying coins in huge amounts of investments while the prices are low. Of course, those three ways are logically humane and each has their own pluses and minuses.

I am intrigued upon the first two: panic selling and postponing from trading.

On doing panic selling, ones tend to sell their assets in the price lower than in the actual price. The main goal is to sell their coins faster to save themselves from the worse situation, without consideration upon the impact of their behaviour towards the market in general.

Meanwhile, ones could also hold their assests and postpone from doing any trading activities, in order to keep their assets safe and even maybe went on hiatus from digital assets bussiness while waiting for the bullish days to be back. They don't want to sell their assets in low price, but the act of not doing any trading is logically also has impact in general. At least, it is contributing on slower the trading traffic.

In your opinion, which one is the worse way among the two?

Worst case is trading with emotions and joining crowd. Selling in blood bath is logical if there are good reasons for this. If there is no concrete explanation for downfall then it is better to leave on its own. Just shut down the pc and go walk. Just my usual 2 cent :) 

The only reason for the people selling their coins is because they don't want to see if the price still go down and they don't want to get bigger losses. They thought that it's better to get a small loss than to get a bigger loss and they can accept for the lose. Besides that, they can try to buy at a low price although it doesn't guarantee for them to see the lower price in the future. But the worse case I know that if someone is selling their coins without notice that the price can get up in the next day, week, month, or even a year.

Bother are worse when we are doing at most wrong time for example the price of bitcoin was huge in 2017 end but it startes to decrease from that,so when someone got sold their bitcoin at the time because of painc they actually made good profits and the same time who postponed their trading activity from Jan 2017 to Dec 2017 they also made good profits not it depends on the situation.

To be fair in reality we have combination of both and both of them are bad. If you hold bitcoin (money) that's very bad too because it has to be in circulation, you don't have to stop it. Imagine how silly it would be when someone has something you and others want but doesn't sell to get profit in future, he/she isn't doing good thing.
So I would say panic selling is better from this two. You sell and someone buys who wants, then price falls and you can even buy more bitcoin to hold for a short time. Then these bad habits stops and price rises.

Holding is always the best option, everything will experience price drips on the way up.  Panic sellers are the emotional type that can't stomach price drops so they act foolish and sell off only to watch the price rise up after they sell. 

They intend not to hold for long . They sold when:
a) They feel that more price decrease will happen later on
b) Already reached the maximum level where losing is still tolerable.
c) Continous downtread to minimize the risk of losing. This is usual.

But it's not the endgame for them. They will enter the market again once they feel it's the right time to do it.


This is a win-win situation for others.

Since they lose so much, already risk so much, already put on trust on their instinct, they will hodl till the end.

This is only applicable for those persons who are willing to lose some. People who doing this already accept it as a loss to avoid too much expectations. Some take breaks, some choose other coins with the used of new capital etc.

What's worst over these 2? Honestly both are having sense to put a shot. People just have to make sure they know what they are doing.

Unfortunately there is no correct response to your question as these are situation specific and very very dependent on an individual's risk taking capability. The responses will be different for different individuals.

Panic selling is a psychological aspect of a human being which can be classified as pessimistic behaviour. Whereas holding an asset during bearish market shows the signs of optimistic behaviour. Both are exactly opposite to each other and can't be compared really!

However, if we think about the market, I would say holding onto an asset during bear market is generally good for the health of the market because panic selling makes the bearish trend stronger. So for the sake of the market, postponing the trade is more positive as it seems!

Panic selling is the worst one why? because if you panic sell you won't get the gain you actually deserve but no because you panicked and the gain you didn't expected to have, have turned into air and that might frustrate through the entire year or not depends on you though also put join crowding as the second poster said, it is the most idiotic part you'll do because you only obey their wishes and they gain something from it but you don't.

For the users, panic selling is the worst decision because you will lose money although there might be a chance to break even, and panic selling will create more chaotic situation for the market and make the price fall down severely, postpone from trading is not too bad consider that you still got the portfolio and able to generate profit in the future, but postponing for too long could end up with no value coin and you will lose momentum to get maximum profit

For me panic sell is worst habit. Especially for me, whenever I sold my token by panic then always bump after my sell. That's why I avoid now panic sell. Still few coin I am holding from 3 month but I don't want to sell. But it doesn't mean I have to postpone my trading, we shouldn't invest all in one or two coins only. But unfortunately all of my coin still dump even btc already pump. Hope soon my coin will recover. My suggestion is just avoid panic sell and emotional trading.

The question is very hard to answer imo. Based on my experience, even though you don't panic sell, but the market tends to go very bearish in a short amount of time, then holding won't give you a good profit either. On the other hand, if you keep holding without looking at the market, you could miss an important trend such as what happened in late 2017.

Emotional trading is for sure dangerous, but not understanding that emotional trading is a part of the market could get you rekt even further. For example, if you don't cut loss when Bitcoin was at $6k, you'll lose %50 more when Bitcoin fell to $3k. So what should we/you do? I think you should follow the trend, but also be careful because the bullish trend can start with a lot of unbelievers (see Wall Street cheat sheet). Cut loss if you think (based on analysis) that the price could go even lower (because people are panicking, etc) and buy back when you believe there will be fundamental changes that could push the price.

Not everything is worth to hold, I know we shouldn't choose those shitcoins but somehow we're a victim of impulsive buying and we leave no choice but to just hold instead of selling at loss. But market gone worst and shitcoins getting shittier so rather of holding it just cut loss and move on.

These ain't an easy options but if you trust your coin/token then just postpone the trading. As what said above, wait until the price rise and sell and just do a buy back afterwards.

Panic selling is not a remedy for saving yourself in the worst situation, why don't you hold it if you do believe that the coins you are holding have a potential to grow even more than the actual price? It's a mishandled situation where you are forced to do the worst case scenario.
You should have at least a plan B if things would go wrong and not making a quick decision if the market sunk without you being prepared.

I think selling is worse option between the two. Postpone from trading is also bad but panic selling is a lot worse. If you are a trader and sell in order to buy more later on than that is calculated loss for a future profit but panic selling is not like that, panic selling is just taking the loss and leaving which is not a smart move. Postpone from trading is also bad because you are missing out from buying from lower or even trading while going down to increase the holding but at least its much better than just taking the loss and leaving.

If you just lose money and not get anything in return than you are going to be pessimistic about future trading as well and one or two panic sells will make you leave crypto trading in total not to return ever but if you just postpone trading you may have a shot at making profit later on.

Candidly speaking, the two option are dangerous to crypto-community members because they gat to produce the same result in practical. Panic selling could lead to market drop which intend bearish market likewise the postpone trading which could lead an individual into greater lost which could never be cover for a long period of time.

I think it's important at purchasing power. If the purchasing power is poor, they will also not want to postpone the transaction. They just need to order at a high price, surely there will be more buyers.
I think the worst is still the delay. When the volume drops or is too small, speculators will be very afraid and do not want to buy much because it is not liquid.
Sell panic sometimes is good for the coins that want to collect buy back tokens for cheap. Zuflo coins is an example. They have set at low prices and many people have panicked.
only then 35 days, it got buffed up and increased more than 300% in 30 minutes.

Well another thing to consider. Those that sell in panic probably can't afford to hold out a certain downward trend hence the need to save and cut losses. Those that actually have time and money to spare falls in the latter category you stated. They can hold their coins for a while without any financial repercussions so why sell at a loss when you can wait for the market to recover. I prefer that method of course.

Surely the seller is panicking because the often panicked traders don't have trust in the market, because what makes a lot of people's losses is panic when the market decreases

Among the two, I don't advocate for panic selling. Panic selling means you are either unlucky to sell when price has deeped for long before you decide to sell. But, hodling is better. With hodling, you still have the chance to take profit or get back to your entering price. No room for panic selling.

I'd say panic selling is the worse between the two, considering that you made some obvious rough and shitty choices which led you to such situation, whereas in postponing your trades, you obviously had done your research beforehand and you listened to your guts, even if doing the opposite may net you some profits. Playing it safe is better than playing it without any game plan, and the latter simply means you understand fully that it is quite unsafe to trade. This is money you're dealing with, and you really have to be extra careful in order to get successful in your trades and ventures.

I think that panic sales cause much more serious and more negative results, because many large traders who are manipulating the market usually benefit from the panic situation of small investors. The deferments made during trade transactions cause serious damage from time to time but do not cause serious damage in general. If panic is commented, all buying and whole sales in panic cause loss of individuals.

When the price of bitcoin was $17000, many people said that the price would not fall, then the price fell and I remember that at that time I panicked and sold at  $16000 and did something very good because the price fell a lot , the price dropped to $3100... sometimes panic and sell can be very beneficial, it can save you from a big loss. Of course later I learned to control my panic and today I do not panic. But it was a good decision to have sold us $16,000

I think panic and selling their investment will definitely not to be a good idea for anyone because while panic situation the decision made by us will always been not correct so my opinion is at that period of time don't take quick decision hold for sometime it will works in most of the time.

obviously panic selling is only done when one is in panic, seeing his loses. There is no plan what so ever to recover from loses and people panic sell just to avoid more further loss. Psotposing from trade is a better idea but then i have seen people keep waiting and waiting as the coins took more than a year to recover if you buy at the all time high prices.

If you sold at 16,000$ resulting from panic selling, then you decision is a good one. Now you can see the price is near 4000$. If you have hold at that time, you would certainly have regretted. However there are only these few cases where panic selling gives you profit. In most of times, panic selling result in only confirmed loss.

Obviously panic selling pal because the worst thing on it after selling you will become unable to retrieve the entire amount and there is no another way for it to undo .unlike postponed from trading because it seems like holding for long run wherein you have still a chance to manage your coin the way you like it or not. And you can avoid repenting also.

Depends on the market.
Like you said you join the panic sellers if you all knew the token will depreciate.
But if it all just be gossips then will you still go on with that kind of decision?
It is also about the trust with the token. You bought it then you should have known where it will really go and not wasting money over something which will just be dumped.

I cant blame those who panic sell but im not agree with their way to cut losses because if you panic sell it has an impact in the market making the situation worse. It might be beneficial to others who cant stand seeing their assets decreasing in value but as an investor its just shows that you have weak belief in cryptos.

On the other hand if you just wait and calmly monitor the market waiting for bull run you will save your coins for worthy value.

I think panic selling is the worst way Because this movement puts the investor in harm and destroys his profits. In such cases, panic selling should never be done 2. way much more profitable and reliable. Just follow the market and don't take any action. When you are sure then do it.

Postpone from trading, because you are doing nothing. Thus, there will be no development in you and there is nothing you can blame if there are big opportunities you aren't able to take since you postpone from trading but only yourself. Unlime panic selling, you are trying to escape from further loss which is okay rather than being stacked in the dip.

For me both are not good as you have mentioned there are so many bad effects of panic selling but at the same time postpone from trading, holding is surely good things because when you see majority doing wrong don’t be one of them but try to tell them what’s wrong and what is right so if you are in danger you can sell but make sure you buy when price will fall again.

It's obviously panic sell that is worse because it will always bring regret at the end. In 2017, JP Morgan's announced that bitcoin is a fraud, and in less than 24 hours holders of bitcoin especially newbies who are not well knowledgeable about the technology panic sold their coin, and JP Morgan who called bitcoin a fraud/scam was the first to buy the coin at the dip making lots of profit.

If a person panic, he's losing the asset which could make him wealthy in the future. Selling isn't bad, but if you panic because of fear of losing financially it doesn't need to put it all at risk. That's worst because when the right time came, you'll regret that bad decision you made after being panicked

The only explanation that can be given for people selling their coins at a loss is that they never invested in it for the long haul and they cannot afford to loose more if the market takes a long time to recover, i discourage people who are here to make money in a short period and usually if you are having that kind of mentality you will probably end up in a loss if the market goes down. If you are in profit and you see that there is a possibility for a correction then there is nothing wrong in selling and waiting for the market to settle down to enter again. If you go by that philosophy then you will make profit rather than taking positions all the time unless you are an expert.

I agree. But, to answer the question, I think the worst between the two is to panic sell. That strategy leads to usually no good in the market, and I, myself, have been a victim of that bad move many times when I was starting in the market. It is sometimes very difficult to control the urge of selling, especially if you see the general view of the market, together with all the coins you are relying upon, going down. However, since these market is erratic in its movements and changes, one can expect that even if there has been a massive downfall that it will recuperate at any time, it's a cycle one has to be aware of and deal with.

From the investor’s point of view, I think panic selling is the worst among two choice. Selling coins at lower price than what the investor purchase is booking in the losses. Holding has a better chance of recovering the price.

Panicking is worse than postpone from trading, you will continue to lose your investments if you cannot control your feelings and emotions. We should always have good self control in order to not panic even there is unexpected situation happen.

In my own opinion panic selling is worse because you activate your selling too early and lose your money. I know the crypto market to be volatile and never stable. Holding when the market goes down will only patience is needed to enable the trader to make a profit from the market. The price may go way down and must come back it will only take time.

We can't compare one with another generally because which one is worse will be decided based on the market situation.Sometimes panic selling can save us from huge dump or it may eat our profits by taking the steps too early and other think keep postponing the trades might also make us to be in loss in this uncertain market unless you are a confident long term holder.

postponing your trades isnt bad and wont make you loss rather that can save you from from getting tempted of selling  .  you can earn more if you wait  . panic selling on the other hand is not also bad but sometimes it can be beneficial  . let say the price pump unexpectedly and then you did panic selling , you can earn instantly but if you wait and insist to hodl your coins  , the price can possibly dump after several minutes  .  imo there is no worst from the both of them  .  it only depend on the person if how can he use these two methods in here trades  .

In my opinion, it's better to postpone trade than to trade but in a state of panic. Because panic will only add to the problem. And only regrets will be obtained.

It's a though question.All the people that HODLing for the long term (or postponing trading,like you wrote) have faith that bitcoin price will eventually go to the moon.All the panic sellers have lost their faith in btc and are very insecure about everything related to the crypto market.In the end it's all about what will happen to bitcoin.Will it skyrocket,or will it fade away?Nobody knows,so there's no winning strategy.

if you trade postpone to avoid losses, maybe that is a very reasonable thing, but some people cannot think clearly when prices fall and they are more interested in selling them immediately.

IMO, I think panic selling even better than postpone trading. When any team behind any cryptocurrency postpone all trading activity related to their cryptocurrency for a while so that mean their crypto trading volume will decrease to 0 so it'll easily make their crypto forgotten if it's not a really good cryptocurrency. Although panic selling is not good as well but it'll keep trading volume the same as before or maybe just a little bit lower.

Both of them is worst than hodling. You have to have the tendency to deal with the market fluctuations and not panic not postpone trading when the price of the coins you are holding crashes. This is considered an abnormality in the business.
One should rather hodl the coins regardless of the fall. However, cashing a part of your coins is the best step during Bull Run.

In order to stand out among all, one of the most critical and important thing a bear market investor can do is to keep away from being frenzy. Panic selling is virtually an emotional response to fear and rarely involves proper reasoned and patient analysis.

The market might be down without a doubt, however to the forward reasonable people, a bear market can be the purchasing chance of a lifetime. Most times, panic selling will definitely get out of hand that exchanges halt trading until the individual gets his or her heads together. You really tend to gain more when you don’t engage in panic selling.

In my opinion, panic selling will be much worse, this is because when we do panic selling we will not be able to think clearly. This is what will make us experience losses because we sell coins that we have are much cheaper than when we buy them. Things like this must be avoided, so try to be able to make the best decision possible by having good emotional control when a situation occurs such as dumping prices in the market.

Without doubts, a trader must avoid panic selling. It is kind of improper trading. Instead of collapsing our own trading plans by emotional failures, it would be always better to quit for the day so that new opportunities may rise up in next days. Delaying will not hurt in crypto markets unlike most other markets. Hence, I strongly believe, a trader must opt for postponing rather than closing orders out of panic. This cannot be a general solution for all the situations but it will definitely handful for most of the situations.

I guess it depends on what percentage you are going to lose. Like if you panic sold something and you lost 80%, that's bad. Maybe a dump happened or just plain unlucky.  Postpone from trading could either make yourself in a better position or even worse, it just depends on the timing that you have. I think it only has a trading strategy would be better like Reversal Trading or Dollar Cost Averaging it. Automating it is also a dream, and that's why I use Gunbot to be emotionless.

I definitely agree that your emotions shouldn't be triggering you to panic sell, but even the best traders end up panic selling, but that's because of how the market sentiment shifted, and not so much because of emotions. Traders need to cut their losses asap some times, because if you keep sticking to your plan, but ignore the changed sentiment, you'll lose big time.

People strongly believe that sticking to their trading plan is necessary, but it's no longer that when the market signals that the sentiment is changing. I have had to deal with this too a few times. I really believed that no matter what, I had to stick to my plan, but that turned out to be a failure. It works as long as the sentiment plays out in your favor, but as soon as you notice that it's changing, you should follow. It's that simple.

Some traders panic-sell to cut their massive losses which is a very risky and dangerous behavior why not postpone trading for a while and relax? rather than to resort to emotional and uncontrollable form of trading that might lead to more losses, of course panic selling is worse than postponed trading judging by advises I obtained from professional traders.

Panic selling for me is the worst. You never think that we can still patiently hodl for the sake of profits. If we panic sell our own tokens we will be deficit and our goal here is to have profit, not the other way around. It is okay to hodl it longer as long as you still follow your target profit. Sadly, when they see a big red candles, many traders are panicking and will FOMO.

One cannot say this particular option is the worst decision since no one is hundred percent sure of what will be the out come at the end of each decision you take.

The worst among the two? Then its clear that panic selling is the worst yet losses cant really be turned back once your assets had been sold out in the market unlike on that
postponing from trading where you do still holding up with your coins.It cant still be considered as loss as long you arent selling those since it do still have the chance of recovery even though it is on
negative floating but atleast the chance of recovery is still there.

Yes because if we will sell our coin at panic it will be full of lose by our own hands so panic selling is worst according to me, as clear it is if you buy something to make money and then suddenly price falls more than the price you bought it, so selling at that price is really foolish decision and infect you know price will rise very soon, so in such situation you should hold with patience.

Both of them are worst from the point of view of a potential investor. I think that one should be not go for panic selling when the price is falling. The market is very much exposed to fluctuation. Those people who loose value in recession gain values again in boom. About postponing, I would say that there should be no good byes to the technology. This is worth investing in and can be extremely instrumental in future to maximize your value.

By far panic selling is the worse of the two options, the ones that delay selling their coins at least are taking more time to try to consider their options and during that time they can make a better choice, those that panic sell are not really thinking, they are just reacting emotionally to what is happening in the market and that is never a good thing.

Yes, better to let go trading than to trade in a state of chaos but never let go the coins. Just stop and do not trade your coins if the price is low or the trading volume is falling sharply due to loss in value. Better hodl, for hodling is one way to avoid loss but not trading until the price is up and high again. Many people do that so you can also go with the same strategy.

I was better off as delaying trade rather than selling panic because it could avoid losses, because there were already many panicked sellers who eventually suffered losses because they did not believe that the market would rise again

I think panic selling is worst. If we analysis  then we  see most of the panic happened when price touch to dumping bottom. That means people become a panic sellers when price stop dumping and start rise again. So I think panic sell is totally worst in crypto trading. Thanks

Panic selling may happen when you are not confident about your technical analysis part.

I never need to go for panic selling because of two reasons: I am always trading ONLY high potential coins which are good for long term holding hence I never need to get panic even there will be some sudden dumping on the markets. Second reason is I am doing my own research and analysis hence I will never worry about any unexpected fluctuations of markets.

I wonder why people still go into panic selling, as a trader, one must always be prepared for the worse since it’s a market that cannot be easily predicted except by using technical analysis, why do people have to wait till market go so deep before without applying stop loss as a trader and for an investor.

I know you must have believed in the coin being invested into before buying it, so why should an investor panic sell since he is into a long term investment. Like you said, we shouldn’t invest in a coin based on advised from people but based on personal research and understanding of the project that brought about the coin.

Panic selling.
In this case you are not thinking right anymore.
Emotions are taking over and you just want out which is wrong.
Must do some research first before even clicking that sell button.
Learned from experienced because I am one also who sells before just because of the FUD that is lurking around.

Both could do damage to your assets depending on the situation. But if I were to choose I'd rather pick the postponing of my assets than panic sell. It gives me phobias and never lets me stop of thinking about it. try it and it will haunt you for the rest of your life.

Panic is a thing that must be avoided by a trader. when a trader experiences panic then it will make traders in a very bad situation, they will suffer losses because they make decisions that are not in accordance with what has been planned. Panic will only make all plans fail, so try to practice an emotional situation so that a trader will be able to maintain patience and a much better mindset.

both of them feel bad, selling panic will only result in the price being a dump while delaying trading will only get a low price. so these two things are not good

It depends on the situation if the coin is just a shit coin and you just wanted to profit (at the time you bought it), it seems more reasonable to have the fastest way to dispose of it, and you could still recover on the amount you are willing to sell or something. It seems like a now or never situation, so sometimes panic selling could be great.

The worst are both, and apart from that, the total insecurity of the trader or the investor. If you understand the market, you will not feel panic, you just have to trust your analysis. If you decide to make your investment, you know you must wait as long as necessary until the bitcoin goes up. Many times the news does not have an instantaneous impact on the market.

Definitely investors make his decision depending on the situation if a person selling his investment he will be definitely panic while the price of his investment falling and if you person postpone his trading that will also be a reason for that so the decision making is always been in the depends upon situation so both this decision important but how we can take it in a perfect situation will matters.

The panic and selling your investment will be the bad decision ever we cannot do it in your investment because while you are panic we cannot make the proper decision if anything will be made by us will go wrong at the end so don't take the decision while the price was falling for your investment.

Right now, I have lots of coins I am presently holding which I will keep holding till the Bull run is back but notwithstanding.
I trade with some and set my stop loss, there is no trade without loss, you can’t avoid it and that is why stop loss tools is very necessary though do sell some of my coins no matter how low it has gone and it’s not because of panic selling but sometime sell them when I am broke and need cash.

That is why it’s necessary to trade money that will not give you tension, when you trade with such money, you will be able to Hold which is advisable to panic selling.

At any period of time I don't recommend the selling with fear and panic because the situation made you to take the decision without any that's so definitely it will be an wrong decision it will be known by you but the situation will not take any other chances for that at that time you not to be so much patience in your life that's why all the traders seeing patience is more important than anything.

Yes, that is a sign to worry about. You just cannot postpone the trading nor can you go for the panic selling. And what is the output in the end if you go for both these options ? Nothing at all.

In fact you should never keep these two the last two options as well. Rather explore the crypto market, invest in every coin that could be profitable in future and hodl regardless of what the market looks like. This way, you would not have to worry about your assets and the value will rise with subsequent rises in market.

No matter what, panic selling is always worse, market is bleeding since last year and if you don't know how to trade you should not join the market.
There are lot of difficulties for beginners to survive in this bear market,.Although it is good to stop your loss but mostly due to lack of experience majority of fresh traders can't control their emotions and this lead them to a big failure.

I agree.It's still better to postpone from trading due to the market condition than selling your coins lower from the price you bought it.It hurts even more that after you have sell your coins,market price started to pump.So we should always be patient when in comes to making profits.There are no easy ways to gain an income than to wait for the right timing to sell or even to trade.

For current sitation panic selling looks more worse because when we can see there is small bump on the prices we ae urges to sell the coins and make profits,when it followed by everyone the market gets dumped so as soon as the market prices getting lesser than how it was trying so don't sell in panic which is bad for the crypto prices.

I guess it depends on what your strategy is.
For an active trader, holding is the last thing he'll consider. Cutting losses to stay liquid and move on to other trades is the more appropriate thing to do for him.

Ill go for panic selling because its the most regretful situation you can encounter here. Imagine panicing on something thats not happening and the results are getting negatives on the coins you hard earned. With this you have two choices, whether your brain or your heart and then your heart wins. Its like your already sleeping in the bed, but because someone said that you should sleep on the floor, you do it.

Yeah panic is indeed a scourge, and worse than other risks in trading. Panic makes you look stupid because you
will do something stupid without using the technical analysis and plans you have made. As a result you only get losses

I think delaying the transaction is worse. procrastination means you are indecisive in buying a coin. If you are indecisive, you will lose confidence in your investment and that makes you unable to get a big win.
Please set your investment plan and invest decisively. Luck will come with your great effort.

Panic can bring very bad results and huge losses, but compared to postponing trading, I think both have equal risks and we can hardly say which one is worse because although panic can create unnecessary losses but at least, we can manage our assets, we know the losses we receive and we can do something to recover the loss while postponing trading is another story, we can only wait and wait, cannot do anything except wait, we don't even know this wait will bring good or bad results, wWhat we know is that we still have the opportunity to recover with this action, with no official loss

Assuming with the same capital invested, panic-selling would deemed worse since you let your emotions take control over your initial goal. Although panic-selling and postponement from trading has a stigma from most investors, they may actually save your investments depending on the situation of an individual. If you think that the market would never recover from the price, then you can sell your investments due to your personal needs.
On the other hand, postponement from trading is like a firm decision that you made since you know that you want to stop due to not being profitable.


Panic selling can also be beneficial but it is too circumstantial and it really depends on the situation. If by studying the market you knew that the price will not recover from the time you purchased it, it may be the right choice. But I think that panic selling is the only one that gives you this sense of regret afterwards.

its not possible to study and predict the price because many factors can change the outcome of the coins . what if whale will manipulate the market ? do you think your analysis will come true ?  i know this things because this had happen to me before .

 i love to study and predict the crypto market because im a hardcore investor but it turns out the my predictions dont occur as what i expected .  whales are playing games with us  , so dont just panic sell because that is a bad decsision .

Already experience how panic selling is actually happen to me, because when market move very fast and make us panic it means maybe price still be manipulate like what you said. And it always come back to early price or maybe it is pumped.

Delaying the transaction will always bring a lot of issues which include the constant price changing. There are always a lot of precautions which should be considered while trading on with any of the coin and timing plays the important role over here. If you are late, the price would change away which won’t give you any opportunity to make any profits.

I think it would be worse to sell all the coins. After all, then you do lose the chance to make a profit. I imagine how they will feel sorry for when the market will rise.

Panic selling is not the solution. It is the worse decision I think. You may postpone trading for a while or you may trade with USDT pair to stop losing in the big dump! But Panic selling will not give you proper crypto trading experience nor profit.

in my opinion the worse is panic sell, because that means you have invested your assets in the coin, different from delaying trading that has not even given that risk. however, it will be different if you panic sell but you are still in a profit condition, it's just that you panic sell to avoid the price going down

Of course, each of these methods is bad, but it seems to me that the panic sale is worse. If you keep your coins motionless, some of them will definitely lose their value forever, but there will be those that can grow again. But if you sell everything, you will remain in the red in any case.

Panic sellers are getting worse, they don’t learn from the market at all. This is more pain i think, especially if those coins you sold at a loss will pump and created a new peak. We make mistakes but you have to learn and control your emotion. This is the market where you make a small mistake can create a big impact to your money so always be careful.

panic selling can be a disappointment and worse. whereas we can make trade delay as a lesson. but I recommend selling at the right time so that there are no losses.

In my opinion the worse is panic selling, for me the problem of the mind must be prioritized and whatever the conditions we have to think rationally and look for the lowest risk, now with panic sell we will emphasize persaan and fear of loss, this prevents you from thinking rationally.

Well tell that to those that bought btc close to all time high lol. Sometimes a loss is a loss and you have to accept it and move on. I think less than 5 % of those people are still holding to their coins. There are ways to make up for your losses anyway. If you're not well versed yet in something, don't jump easily to hype and just observe.

Panic selling is the worst of all.  I think patience is another way of transferring wealth from the impatient and fearful traders to the patient and professionals traders!  Afraid of losing is the first step to losing in trading and accept signal that you are not going to make it in trading.  Postponement from trading is also another way of saving loses.  If you are holding an assets that hardly devalue there is no way you will lose if you did not sell and most times if you hold for long-term it is another way of making profits.

I do not think you can call it panic selling if you did your own market analysis prior to the sale. That is an informed decision.


Even selling at a loss after a careful analysis can give you that feeling of regret when you get it wrong.

Panic sale most times is inevitable and it's down to pressure and attempt to cut loss and make do with the profits acquired already. Staying away from trading for me is better, it gives you an opportunity to come back, though you may have accumulated losses by then, but every trader should have the balls to handle the pressure of trading, there are many hiccups on the way of a successful coin

The two can both have negative effects in both the trader gain and also to the market. I won't vouch any as been fair though cause I won't be caught doing any. 
I have seen a situation where by procrastinating of buying a coin cost a major loss and setback. It happened to me when I started out on Bitcoin and I know many encountered this too. Many who bought at the price if $20k might have been procrastinating on buying it.
And of course we know what panic sells has done to the market and it price.

So many posts on this thread would have definitely given you an indication as what among the two is the most worst. I call both of them the worst of all decisions. This is because if you make a decision because of market crash, it means you are not following your strategies. Postponing should never be an option and you need to know more about panic selling and only then you would realize how important it is tp stay in the market.

Postponing can really be an option yet there are really scenarios or situations which you are really confused on what to do.In spite on forcing yourself to make such decisions or movement
then better to completely stop rather than on making your entire trading system or plans to mess up which is much more worst thing.
Sometimes panic selling do have an advantage but you should consider this action first before doing it because you cant really take it back once you already get losses.

I think you're right.Most of the traders today who come up with panic selling because of the long bear trend are not even satisfied with the result of their own actions.If they really want to cut their losses,then it would be better to postpone from trading for some time and not totally selling all your coins to a more lower rice from the price you bought it before.

Most of the time delaying transactions give a lot of different in terms of emotional feelings such as panic, fear and others.
Therefore, if we feel this way expect that in the end we will gonna loss our coins for sure. So, instead of this feelings be apply it is much better to freeze it temporarily to minimize our loss.

Of course, panic will always negatively affect the opinions and actions of many users of cryptocurrency. Of course, I am not worried about the prospects of the highest-rated currencies, since their fate is predetermined. But our time has a lot of new and very good projects, the dump of coins which does not go to their advantage.

Right this is best choice not to take any step for the sake of this temporary condition better to freeze for some time and wait it takes time for things to be normal, I prefer postponing but panic selling it totally NO because I am not in favor to give your money to other person, I know struggle but I hate giving up, I can wait patiently for my good life.

Panic selling cause people to be in lose and also can create more people to get panic if there is downtrend at the prices of crypto currencies so panic selling can be the more worse when you are a trader because you are hurting the market also.

Fomo will increasingly give a negative tension and this often happens when panic becomes unnatural with some mistakes in making orders, but on the other hand, delaying trade does not have a good effect, unless the trader actually follows the road map of each coin observation. at one time, scalping went well, I was more used to it than waiting for a prolonged momentum.

This type of characteristics is not good for trading, so it is even better for the investor to just pull his investment from trading to holding and forget about it till suddenly he wakes up one day and realize that his coins has made him a fortune.

Monitoring coins can really be lot torturing emotionally which might lead to high blood pressure if care is not taken, we all just have to invest minimum we can and leave it for it to grow no matter the time duration rather than trading with lots of tension. We must not all make money through trading.

The best strategy in a volatile market should be to buy more when prices are down. then sell some when prices eventually climb back up. Postponding a trade is a big waste of time while panic selling is a big waste of money.

the worst is panic selling because you might evetually buy back and another coin and panic sell again. it is better you post pone or set your trade and leave the market. whenever it sales happen, you can come back. it is not adviseable to always buy high and sell low.

I agree.Panic selling won't create good profits because it will only make you a more loser in the end.So postponing from trading for a while might be a good choice than selling all your coins in just a low price.This is not a good way to cut your losses because the fact that you will sell them in a very low price have lost your chances to make huge profits after a year or two.

So still, panic selling is a bad choice in trading because when compared to postpone trading it is a different loss and it is better to waste time than waste money. It doesn't matter if we postpone trading in a sense, we are always careful about every decision we will make rather than making a panic decision that will make things mess.

Panic selling is always the worse. You are not doing any better if you still feel that urge where you think it's going to die so you better act fast and sell it before anyone does.  Postponing from trading is just like doing HODL, less stress and the odds of getting multiple profits gets higher as time goes by.

Well, if the situation is not favorable then you can postpone trading for a certain period of time, but panic-selling is the worse for me. As the market would recover again after some time, if you hold your assets.

Panic sell can make us lose our assets, but postpone is something that we can make and if we not sell our assets, it means we not lose yet. That is why postpone and wait for better price is better than panic sell.

Its true, sometimes price movements in the market do not provide an opportunity for you to profit, for example when
there is a bearish, prices fall more often and are very risky to trade in that time, postpone will be safer then

This is true for every market. This is what happened in times of Aristotle and in ancient Greece and is even true today for Bitcoin. The more lower the cost of investment, the more high your profit is when you cash away during the Bull Market. So it would rather be way too foolish to postpone or stop trading or dealing in cryptocurrency due to a one time loss or a bear market.

many feel aggrieved if most people easily panic in taking the wrong decision steps, panic can indeed have a bad impact on trade, they will not make a profit if they always panic in trading. it would be better to deal with this kind of market situation, everyone can delay trading to hold the assets they have until the right time

Exactly, you are right instead of selling them for loos, it is very good to postpone their selling because now the situation of the market is very worse which they cannot manage to increase the price of the Bitcoin and we need to wait for the Bitcoin price recovering. So people should wait until the shape of the market should be in a positive direction which will help us to make more money when the market starts recovering.

The fact is that now every user of cryptocurrency is looking for its own strategy, to avoid big losses. But if we take into account the moment that some traders are trying to sell all their assets in order to buy ethereum and Bitcoin, which in the clothes will bring profit in the future, then all the same This is the wrong decision. The fact is that any sale today still incurs a large percentage of losses, because almost all of the cryptocurrency decreased by at least 400%.

Panic is probably the worst decision one can make when they make trades.  Postponing trading is a good option if you're really stressednout with the market movement. It refreshes your mind so you can think clearly by the time you decide to go back. Panicking however, throws logic out the window and makes you decide in the spur of the the moment. Not a very good thing to do when you're dealing with money.

both of these choices have the same risk of being bad, panic and too long delay can be unlucky, it's better to trade every day sometimes hodl in a blood red market situation for long periods of time can make a person have to wait very long to get back the capital spent in trading crypto assets.

During crypto trading I never sold panic. I prefer to delay selling rather than harming my assets. Because I'm sure the crypto market value will return good.

I think panic selling is far more worse than the other one. You can postpone your trading without getting any losses but if you did panic selling, you can win maybe but there is a higher chance that you will lose your money because you let your emotions trade rather than you yourself.

If you feel stressed, you can postpone your trading and you will not get any losses. In panic selling, you did what most newbies did there when they heard a news or a big announcement. You FOMO'ed because you are hoping that you will get a huge profit on it but in reality you're not because if you panic sold, its like you gave your trading funds to those better traders out there.

I don't think so . Everyone has a bad mentality when the market falls and it is very easy to sell panic in the market. I think anyone will experience this feeling and it really makes it easy for us to feel bored, making our investment more difficult. I personally sold panic many times but I was able to control myself better by turning off the computer and not watching the value of the coin

Panic selling will give a bad effect on us because we are selling the asset at the low price and we don't think that the asset can increase in anytime. Sometimes they don't think that when the price is down, it is just a temporary because after one hour or so, the price will increase back to the price before and sometimes it increases higher. But I realize that panic selling will always happen in the market because not all people can handle their emotion and they don't want to see a loss.

That use to be the case before, when everyone use to feel so agitated about the market but now that virtually every investor aside newbies has already had experience in the past which has taught them the necessary lessons they need to learn not to panic sell, I doubt if any old investor will still fall a victim of this.

I am not saying 100% of them are perfect but at least 80% of them and if there is need for them to sell their coin at any low price might be as a result of financial challenge they need to resolve that is beyond their control and the investment, otherwise, no old investors will sell their coin again.

It all depends on the situation.

Asking what is better is like asking if jumping off falling plane is better than staying on it. If you jump off low enough you may land on some trees or bushes while others crash and burn. If you stay there's a chance a pilot will land it safely with minimum damage and the jumpers die with broken backs.

In this market, the rate of sellers panic increases so much that many pennies are good at low prices and it is difficult to pump back. I think anyone's psychology can easily sell panic when the coin falls but if you know how to control emotions better, that will be very little repeated. I and many other people have had several panic sales and that could be considered our worst time

I thought I would avoid panicking sellers, if my tokens were at a better price, so I wouldn't panic with a lot of changes.

When we are losing our money then it is not easy to hold it so people might do something to cut off their losses but the thing they need to do is if they are selling too early then they need to buy back when the prices gone down or it is not going to give any benefits for the traders.

Reason for panic sell is that most people don’t even believe that much in the project they invested it, the fear of uncertainties pushes them into panic sell which I can really put the whole blame on investors panic selling and dumping coins because most of this project too are not really pushing hard to make investors see the reason why they should hold on to the coin other than the lies they keep blowing on telegram.

I have invested in a project for like a year now and until now they are still telling us about their future plan without seeing any effect of the past promises, at any slight opportunity I have to dump the coin, I will not hesitate to panic sell too when they enter exchanges.

I agree on you.When bearish season comes we also tend to think how our investments will make profit so most of us here cut their losses by selling their coins at a low price and buy other potential coins too that are affordable.I think this one is not a good idea because the market is so volatile that maybe in the next day the coins will start to increase their prices again.So it would be better to just postpone their trading for a while in order not to create huge losses.

Panic selling's infinitely worse than just stopping trading temporarily in my eyes. Panic selling can mean you lose a massive amount of money, whereas simply not trading does not usually result in significant losses. Panic buying can be just as bad as panic selling though- if you don't have a good entry point planned, you might be buying into a local top and prices could be under that local top for quite some time.

Always make sure you have some sort of plan before trading and make sure you stick to it. This will help you avoid FOMOing and panic buying and selling, though you will still have to actively prevent yourself from panicking.

Panic selling is an incomplete business and if a business is incomplete, of course it will be very risky for your investment. You leave your coins in the middle of nowhere and that is the end. You end up not making the amount you had been thinking of. And if you look around, almost all the people are holding the coins and some are leaving and creating negative news so do not follow what others do but rather what you think is the best.

In my opinion, both are not good. Because both are very big defects and it is the main reason leading to investment failure.
I think we should still set up an investment plan and put sell orders and stoploss in a reasonable way. do not fall into 2 cases you said, the results will be very bad.

Panic sell sometimes is very necessary mate, it saves us more for future loss, nowadays that we have lots of very bad altcoins that has been injected into the system, if we see a project failing right in front of us, it is better to act and do the little we can before it gets too late, panic sell is only dangerous for projects that we indeed knows that are very reliable and great for future, so there is no point in panic selling since we know that there is always presence of volatility in the market and if we use Bitcoin as case study, no matter how much the coin goes down, it will always come back to its ATH, so those ones are not good to panic sell, but I say shitcoins are good to panic sell and invest the money in a greater coin.

The two of the trading decision are bad but I think panic trading is worst as  you will not lose if you stop investing.  I do encourage people and traders that it is better to not trade than trading without really knowing what you are doing and at the end having panic which always lead to loses.

Panic selling and postpone from trading both are very wrong decision for a trader. But from this two panic selling is the most worse thing. Cause if you get in panic and sell all your coins at loss then you will miss the profits after price get pump.

Panic selling of ones coins at a loss is the worst so far.
One who postpones and then sell when the price rise is better than the dumper profit wise.
In the other way round, a panic seller could be in profit than one who postpones.
Maybe one panicked sold because the price of the coin is on a steady fall.
While the other person postpones and the price fell very low.
 

In crypto , everything is possible and risky.

Possible means
You can do panic sell in order to minimalize loss because let say if bitcoin suddenly worthless by next week

Risky
If you're postpone / holding, you can experience more losses or more profit.
Personally I hold btc over 5 years and it's PROFIT !

Both requires wisdom to apply it to trade, we cannot completely take the 2 out of the trade, panic sell is only not good when it is done on a project that has future prospect, but we have some people who have mistakenly invested or trading with shitcoins, we wouldn’t blame those ones if they panic sell, at least they are still able to get little out of their trading.

Panic sell only become worst when one goes against  what others have given positive review on, take for example BTC investment, many people including newbies knows the effect of panic sell on one’s trade, panic sell in BTC only empowers another person.

This is what any rational trader should do but we know that people can be very irrational, if you do not know what to do because the circumstances in the market have changed very fast then it is important to take the necessary time to take a good decision about what to do, but we know most people trade with their emotions and as soon as they see a decrease in the price they panic.

Panic selling will cause nothing but lose and this is a wrong decision I think. But postponing trade is natural and simple. Most of the traders postpone trade for a while when they can't make a profit! And after some vacation or free time, when they feel this is the right time to restart, they do start! So, Postpone from trade would be a good decision in your case.

I don't know why this isn't answered yet so I am answering it now. It's better if you have control over your funds/position compared to losing it because of a trading halt. At panic selling you can always short your position and hope to buy it back at a lower cost with the hopes it will pay back more on another bull run. Trading halts on the other hand may look like a harmless event in trading but the thing is you may never know where it will go once the trading has resume into action though it may likely to go down depending on the reason why it has halted in the first place. 

No matter on which angle we do try to look up panic selling is much more worst than on having a postponement of your trading activity.It had been stopped but you can go back anytime. Relieving yourself first into stress and think up again on what you should gonna do because when you are in the middle of a stress you cant think off clearly which in result into more mistakes.You can possibly recover up your loss on next time rather than panic selling everything.

Panic selling accelerates the speed of the market crash and market crash affect the emotions of traders who sell in panic. So, vicious cycle continues till the next support level or psychological number on the chart. Instead of waiting for market recovery I prefer to sell and buy low after the settled dust on the order books. The only way to make a profit in the bear market is selling as fast as possible before the real big downtrend candle.

I've been there, done that. Panic selling before whenever the market suddenly goes on the sideways. And I can say it is the worst and we can learn so many things after we realized that we made a mistake from  doing panic selling. However it is the worst than postponing the trading. I think it is better to give ourselves space in trading sometimes, gain more knowledge that we lack for then make a come back with confidence.

I believe the best action is to cut your losses as soon as possible, No matter how much it cost! just better than trying to modify that order and enter or buy again in different prices and then stay until boom. I Am sure the first one is worst than doing nothing and the second is worst than the one  :D ;D

You need to find something else may be to could join some market manipulation, What do you think?  ;D

Panic selling is the worse one, this is happening because you dont have guts to wait and see in the coming days if there's an improvement with your investment. If you enter here you have to take risk and be firm with your decision.

Its better not to cut further losses and hodl, you wont lose anything unless you sell. Postponing your trading activites wont hurt your assets but instead its a chance to gain more once the market recover.

Panic selling isn't always a bad choice for trader. Sometimes, they have their intuition about what price they will sell their coin. If you have invested in shit token and hoping it will be turn into dollar someday and you postpone your trading, you will likely missed your chance to sell it now with better price

Intuition and some sort of mix luck can really be experience here on trading world.There were times where these feelings do give out or save you up on a possible dump or negative profits.Selling early while you can or the token didn't dumped yet which means its still a good call.This might not happen all the time but its plausible.

If the guy asked this question, it is the indicator that he is not a panic seller. Those, who are in a panic, will never write here, think their decisions over, listen to somebody's pieces of advice and whatnot. The guy was hesitating if it is possible to make a delay in trading to (probably) return to it later. These decisions are good: a brake helps to work out the new trading tactics.

In any case, the person’s further actions are completely dependent on his moral condition, because if he is already subject to panic, he will not be able to make a decision for further storage of his assets.  First of all, his thoughts will be aimed at at least maintaining the level of prices that exist, for example, at the time of the market fall.

I believe that it is up to the trader to decide what would be the best option for them. One other thing you should know is that not everyone that panic sells is selling with loss. There are people who might have invested when the price was around $3000 and then it goes up to $13000 before it starts falling, they might panic sell when it falls to $9000 and I don't see any loss in it cause they still have $6000 on top left. It all depends, everyone has their own reason and I'm not the kind of person that would panic sell when I'm at loss,  I'd rather abandon it there and wait for the price to go up again.  That's why I always mind how much I invest in this.

I think people when trading are emotionally driven, they sell their money because they are afraid the money will continue to go down and they will lose money, some people are not afraid of it because they believe that their money will grow again they dare to manage risk and I think they have an investment plan, in my opinion I will hold assets because panic can cause you big and difficult losses break even, be patient to follow the market, waiting according to the plan is the best way for you to get profit. Avoid panic selling and emotional trading.

Trading using your emotions can be one of the worse decisions that a person may take when it comes to their money, if you are going to do that then it is better for you to become a holder instead of a trader, as a trader you need to take decisions based on what it is best for you and your capital on the long term and sometimes this means closing your positions early before you suffer great losses and as you may guess that is never an easy thing to do if you are using your emotions.

Panic selling is the worse thing someone could do out of impulsiveness and emotions. They might sell their assets with a price lower than its buying price just so they can avoid much worse situations without doing some critical thinking. They tend to lost sight of the bigger picture and massive impact of their actions. It's much worse because his action won't just affect him but he will contribute to the market's movement in general. So, of all things, when people are trading tbey should also train theirselves not to be easily driven by their emotions, because emotion is of all things the most destructive in any ways, patience, practicality and calmness should always win over emotions.

But bitcoin will not be forever worthless in the following next weeks (for example),and panic selling will not minimize your loss, it is the opposite, once you sold your coins because of panic selling, you'll lose the chance of selling it on the right time.


I guess your brain functions the other way around. Holding is more reassuring than panic selling, with this, you have a peace of mind that you just need to wait until the prices of the coins you are holding will be back to normal or maybe make another All Time High, it might took some time but profits is all worth it.

The sudden and widespread selling of a security tends to make the market overflow with securities which are being sold at lower and lower prices. The more of these securities there are, the more the price is driven down thus causing more and more selling. There are many markets out there which have been brought down by this same activity of panic selling.

Panic selling can only produce devastation. Doing anything while you are not even able to understand the situation, can never be beneficial in any way. This is the whole reason why we are taught to keep our mind calm no matter what the situation is. People tend to make such mistakes when they fail to comprehend the true value of their dealings. Postponing an action is much better then losing mind.

Panic selling is never good especially if just based only on current price, without researching the cause of it, while postponing for me will depends on the coin still. If the project seems trying to recover and doing some things that can affect the growth in the future then I'd rather postpone selling it and just be updated on what abouts of the coin, more like holding since we know it will survive that dip.

The worst for me would be is postponing for trading. It's only good if you only bought and hold btc but I highly doubt it for most of the traders. So postponing is like being an irresponsible trading because things can happen fast in crypto and just taking an off for months can give you a lot of surprising changes that will definitely tell to yourself that you messed up. Panic selling will only happen on you first trades because you will learn valuable things as you move forward.

I think every process always has a certain amount of bad points and but it also has certain luck in that badness, we can hardly say what will bring us worse because as you said, delaying trading can be irresponsible but sometimes you forget it, you will not need to sell too soon, it will even return very well after a while we forget. A panic sale may say we are inexperienced but sometimes it will lessen worse situations, which is also quite a lucky thing, in general, we should avoid these situations

Selling it out of panic is a very fatal mistake and in my opinion it happens to those who are new or beginners who don't really understand and judge the nature of the market well, because they feel scared when the market falls and make mistakes and sell at the wrong time.
and if you sell it out of panic and it happens to people who have been in crypto for a long time, that's very embarrassing.
and delaying it is a wise choice when the market is down.

It's good observation regarding some incident, some people become too worried and haphazard during the market is looking vulnerable but they couldn't understand what they should do at that moment, some people trying to sell their bulk at a low price within a dilemma so the market looks hazier by this foolish attempt, in this way, the price is going far down and other investors goes more in the worst situation. so panic selling is the vital reason for a market crash according to my experience, Of the two of your queries, I think panic selling is the worst and postpone from trading is not hamper in the market. I think this way is best when you don't understand your market's situation.

Indeed. Panic sellers are just feeding the whales causing the bearish market to be longer than what we are expecting, it is a 50:50 position where we are stock thinking if we are going to give up hodling or not because first, we need fiat to sustain our daily needs, to pay bills and other adult responsibility, second we are thinking negative things like it is now or never kind of thing.

You are doing wrong if you only invest just to sustain the daily needs, investing is a long term and that is not weekly earning a profit. Holding is a wise decision of investors, when you are in panic selling, the whales laugh more if you follow your emotion and listen to the whale's news. Well, I think the worst one is panic selling because if you do panic selling you'll be able to lose big amount of money rather than postpone from trading. Panic selling if the price drop down is really not a good idea so in order for you not to lose money you must think first before you act.

I experience both scenarios panic selling could be the worst one in my opinion. During my early days in crypto I deal a lot with emotional trades not selling on high but keep selling on lows, FUD affects me easily before but I learn from that experiences won’t do that same mistakes again. Now taking my chances on some coins hopefully they will wake up from deep sleep  ;D.

Bitcoin is an asset that grows in value and gains popularity with every year. The more history is behind it the more trusted it is. This means that if you stop trading for a while you will eventually gain money anyway.
Panic selling can depress you and make you leave the market for good. Many people did it and ended up throwing away all the riches that came with the next bull run. By the time they heard about it it was too late to do anything. As long as you have coins you are a winner I will always say so.

I am also with you in this regard. Selling out bitcoin other than trading purpose and that also just out of fear is not acceptable. Those people who think that bitcoin is just a loss, they should go and do some research. Better, do some research before even investing into bitcoin or any altcoin so that there wont be any panic moments at all. Bitcoin has produced millionaires in this world within no time. This is enough for understanding its worth.

This panic selling can be the worse one since the price may sudden increase and we did not control our emotions during trading. True, dissatisfaction we may feel because of the swing of price when we do trading. Better we should control our emotions not to do panic sell. So when we postpone from trading we can get advantage from it and we can prepare for selling our coins since price can goes upward.

Although they both have the disadvantage, I think Panic selling is worst amongst the two. What mainly drives this kind of action is emotions that keeps on meddling with our trading activities when in fact its the last thing that we need, we need more of our gut feels than our emotions. Panic selling is irreversible so if you've sell your assets to an unreasonable price then market price did an unexpected move going up, your act will lead you to your biggest regret.

Many at the beginning that we do trading, we usually get out of the operations in profit and extend those where we are losing, hoping for a recovery and emerge victorious. When I read several books by Jesse Livermore, he talks about cutting losses and lengthening profits, when he did his operations and began to go wrong, he didn't hesitate to cancel them and assume the loss.

The market gives many opportunities, according to this, the loss that it had in that trade, could recover it in another up to three times, and when it was in profit it lengthened them, that is the best technique in the trade that very few do.

If you make a decision in your trade, you cannot let yourself be influenced by news or fears, you must be sure of what you do and always follow your own rules, that is the correct way to overcome all insecurity.

Don't panic sell. That makes you part of the problem. A lot of people when they see a coin go down a little bit will end up selling off their coins to cut their losses. However, this just compounds the situation and makes it worse. That's why you see huge dips sometimes. It's basically a snowball effect. Remember, you're not the only one thinking of dumping your coins at that time. There are probably hundreds of other people thinking the exact same thing if you're on a big exchange.

Panic selling is not solution for overcoming the loss that you see proceeding towards you in market. I am never ever going to rely on my emotions while doing trading because they never let you analyze market properly. Sometimes we do lose in trading and go into stress which pushes us into taking wrong decisions ultimately leaving us with no money.

Oh, really? then please enlighten me where we are going to use the money we put in investments, we are talking about Trading here not just investing and holding for the long run. Trading is not just for long term to gain profits because there is approach in trading called Day Trading, I hope you know that. Also, if we are not going to use the money that we are earning in Trading as our investment, then I don't know anymore where we are going to get some free foods, shelter, free electricity and the rest.

Why does it? I don't think so. If you want to make a profit by trading and investment then you have to follow or create a technical analysis for your better outcome, If anyone claims that technical analysis is not bringing any good thing or it's useless then I must say those people are not having a good knowledge regarding cryptocurrency platform, So far I think technical analysis is one of the main element which helps to take any decision towards this platform, but it's true that technical analysis doesn't make sense if you make an attempt for the long-run investment and holding, it's only meaningful for the short-run investment and trading.

Thank god! There are some people who understand this phenomenon that in dips, all investors are supposed to hold onto their coins i.e. keep them in wallets particularly when the coin is bitcoin. Dumping bitcoin with the speed of light makes it difficult for all of us to see it reaching price value which is above every previous pump.

You may think that this only happens to newbies but that is not accurate, panic selling happens to all of those that let their emotions take control of them and their trades, consequently even experimented traders can fall prey of this mistake which is one of the most dangerous challenges you will have to confront as a trader, but how we can avoid it? With a very strong discipline and always remaining calm regardless of what it is happening in the market.

i don't think we will ever experience any bull market again for altcoins. As long as investors are in for quick sales. also, everyone wants to recover there money and move into the next new project. altcoins will continue to decline. many more tokens that were hot shot in 2018 are now shitcoins. same will happen to all the coins that are trending to be to coins.

Trading psychology is the most important factor for us to win in trade. Even if we know a lot of technical and fundamental analysis,  we can't still win in trading if we have lack of trading psychology. If you always do panic selling, then expect that you will lose your money.

I still maintain my stand like some of my mates here too that it is not all a panic sell that is bad. There are time when I do risk to trade some of these shitcoins, and having known that it is a 50:50 chance, I have to be very much alert, I could think that the whales will pump the value after it gets listed on exchange and reverse will be the case.

There are situations where I had bought some shitcoins with the hope of it getting being pumped so I can quickly exit, but the moment I hoped for that was when we had some investors pull out and the price started crashing, the only way to do damage control was to panic sell, even if I had to lose some of the money, but i never lost all, and till date, that coin never rose again, if I had not sold then, how would I not have lost everything completely. The only time panic sell is not good is when you are trading reliable coins.

I agree with everything you say. three things that are almost certainly done by a trader that is selling because of panic the price will get lower, hold on so as not to lose, buy when the price is below. In my opinion the worst thing among all of them is when someone panics when they see the market price is falling and selling all the coins they have in order not to feel the loss in ever greater amounts. good strategy to deal with such circumstances in my opinion is someone must be patient and calm by selling some of the existing coins, and still survive in some other coins.

in my opinion panic selling is the worse one compared to postpone from trading. Because with panic selling we can lose money, so the panic selling trading strategy is strictly prohibited. In contrast to this postpone from trading, it is more profitable because being patient waits for the market to improve,
with postpone we can enjoy profits, because in the end the market will improve and then automatically coins we have will go up in price or even reach the target sell. But there is a shortage of postpone that is, we do not know how long we have to wait, even the price of coins can go down, and we can
even more losers from panic sell. So the best is in trading we must be able to use strategy according to the situation.

In determining how the reality of the situation works with trading, we should observe the market deeply and you purpose on how to manage your trading. You can play on stop loss so you won't panic in the long run, and if you try to see on all feedbacks coming from experienced traders they used to apply some certain options to control trading loss. Panic selling isn't worse at all, probably it was a rush decisions due to personal needs.

Of course panic selling is not the best way in the world of trading because with panic you will lose a lot of your assets. Staying patient is the main key in the world of trading. Without patience traders will often make wrong conclusions so causing losses.

of course the worse is panic selling, panic selling means that the trader doesnt have good trading plan, that's why he is panic selling
if he has good trading plan, it doesnt need panic beacuse of having plan. remember that panic selling can make lose much money, lose our convident, and break our pshycology

Crypto is full of mystery, dude! even though you already have a trading plan but sometimes this can fail, and finally you loss big.
So I think panic selling doesn't hurt, because sometimes panic selling can also save your assets.

Of course, Panic Selling is the worst option to take when one is in loss. If you can't keep cope with the loss, It's better to just stop on your track and take sometime off. One of the essentials for being successful in trading (Be it Crypto, Forex or stock market). That's why every trader is advised to take control of their emotions and never let their guard down. As the saying goes in trading. You never lose until you sell.

Taking time off would give you time to reassess your mistakes and know what went wrong and how to correct it.

Both are a consequence of it, fear and insecurity are the worst feelings in trading, when you have a trading plan you must comply, you must follow the rules that you impose yourself, if you violate your same rules  not have discipline and will leave everything to luck or worse will gambling and the safest thing is to lose.

To avoid these feelings of panic and postpone trades, it is best to put:

1.-Stop Loss.
2.-Take Profit.

Place both in each trade, and then not look at the market, go do other things and go to the hours, 4h is the best, then see, if it was lost, it is time to assume the loss, and if it was won, well congrats.

But always follow your trading plan, and another way to avoid panic is not seeing Crypto news, because often it often influences people's decisions such news.

indeed selling when panic will make you lose because you are easily influenced by bad news and trading that you do is no longer fun, trading should be relaxed and all you have to control is the patience you have, because when you can't control the patience you have then it is definitely difficult to get profit.

Postpone from trading,might be can considered to control our patience.  That is why a lot of people include you maybe agree if panic sell is bad idea. Because it means we can't control our emotion in trading. We should do anything that not make us panic like take a rest maybe in trading, it is better than lose.

Well, if panic selling is what people need to get rid of losing positions, then by all means they should sell at once.

But I never understand traders who don't trade with stop losses.

I mean, if you go in, long or short, don't you already have a maximum loss you can bear? Unless you're like me with some alts where I just say, ah what the hell with it, it's $10. ;) Win big or lose all.

To be successful trader is not simple, but unfortunately a lot of people underestimate it when they can get profit from buy sell and hold only. We know it can be happen, but any condition market force us to have other strategies so we're not only do buy sell and hold in trading.

Panic selling is the worst action that a trader can take in his whole career. All it brings will be loss and bitter experience. Indeed it is a difficult task for newcomers to control their emotions but everyone has to face this challenge and should try to come over his fears. Whenever situations are not according to expectations, just leave the game for time being and come back after calming mind.

Panic selling is the worst thing because it will cause the market to break down unlike postpone from trading in which it's just like deciding to hold your remaining assets for a long term period. Once you sold your assets and it will bounce back then it will be no turning back except if you will buy it again in the much higher price.

The easiest way to avoid panic selling is to know exactly how much money you can lose before you need to exit your position and then when that point is reached you get out without giving any excuses, knowing when to exit the market is probably one of the most important skills that a trader can develop, in fact I could argue that it is way more important than knowing when to enter the market since it is at the moment you sell when your potential profits or losses finally become real.

I will recommend that anyone that is still not sure about how to create a stop loss on the exchange of their preference to learn how to do it since a well placed stop loss can be the difference between an insignificant loss and a huge one.

Panic selling is a shame because it will harm other traders because if many traders sell panic, it will affect the market which will get worse, must be wise in acting and must learn more about good and right trading for those who panic.
and delaying trading is much better than selling because of panic, delaying is the right choice when the market situation is not going well or badly and returning after the market has improved.

Not all exchange have stop loss feature,so better if you are in doubt, better to sell your BTc first to USDT so it will not create more loss, it is better than having a panic all the time when the price is going downward, better to secure first rather taking risk, always check news and watch the chart.

I think panic selling is worse rather than postpone selling because in panic selling will sell your coin even without thinking the coin price value but in postpone selling you only delay to sell your coin so there is a big possibility that price value will increase. All we know the deciding to sell is very important because we are here to earn so we need to avoid loss.

both have different strategies due to timeframe differences from targeted earnings, panic selling is worse but can still be overcome by averaging orders or setting a stop loss, this is usually done by daily traders.

postponing trades applies to patient traders with a minimum benchmark of 12h / 1w this is better because they buy gradually, but stay focused not to sell to a certain point, or not brutal to place an order every hour

well , actually it depend on situation on that time.
but, i choose panic selling is the worse than be hodler.
when u sell, u have no chance for , well , lets say get some profit , if market recovery.
but if u postpone a trading. probably is 50 : 50 for what next happen.

I agree with what you say, it's humane if someone holding a coin does the three things that you say. I myself have felt panicked because of falling prices, and what I did was sell to secure what was left. I also survived when prices fell because I speculated that prices would soon rise again. You ask which is worse than both actions. In my opinion, selling because of panic is the worst way for traders. when we panic, there seems to be no way out and want to sell immediately. if you decide to survive, it means someone is still willing to find and learn what will happen next. so one can speculate that prices will go down or up again. in my opinion, selling out of panic is of no benefit to someone who trades.

If the exchange of your preference does not support a way to setup a stop loss then it could be a good idea to see if they have a way to alert you if the price of a coin in which you are invested crosses a certain level, if your favourite exchange has that feature then as soon as the price goes below the level of losses that you can endure you will receive an alert in your smart phone and be alerted immediately about it.

As soon as you receive that alert you could log on your account and then sell your coins immediately, this method will take you a few more minutes than if you had a stop loss but it is still good enough and could save you from losing more than what you can afford.

As of today's market status is currently plummets really hard and i think people are in panic selling right now and cannot control if there is a lot of fomo or fuds roaming around that's why we need to make sure that were not folloing that down trend.

But this is a good thing and we can take advantage of the price down of bitcoin since it might rise in a couple months and earn a lot of profit. We just need to ignkrr those bad news and go with our instinct in a positive way.

Panic selling is the worse, Just think of the possibilities as we know that the price of altcoins and bitcoin is volatile. What if you were so scared you sold it right away? And the price of Bitcoins rise suddenly? Will you buy again or not? You will only give yourself the blame and stress here so it is best not to trade first and buy more coins as the price is discounted.

this we can see from the circumstances, if the price falls after rising high, and someone has bought at a high price. selling faster is good for saving their assets. but when prices are as low as they are today. someone buys a coin and after that it's a dump. then he sells it. I said that was wrong. Today's falling prices will not be deep. and will recover soon. so holding and postponing sales is a good thing.

Things that we cannot control about, is when people do panic selling, and currently we are experiencing same thing again when the price declines due to some news, they think that Bitcoin will die and they treated it as a negative impact, so people were panicking and started to sell again. Well, we cannot control people but rather take this as an advantage to buy more at cheap price.

Panic Selling is not when price increases, it is exclusively used to describe the hurried selling of assets in the event of sharp fall in the value of asset. In crypto market, panic selling is worst move a trader can make. Unlike other assets, cryptocurrencies are tend to return to their ATH again and again over time so it is better to hold coins if price is falling. But another thing is to determine that coin is not shitcoin and has adequate and vibrant market which can sustain the fall.

I think panic selling is the worst one. Trading shouldn't be about psychological. Because others act according to psychological and you should evaluate the others in order to do nice trades. But if you do panic sell, you will become the normal trader and you can't make money with doing similar things with others. So, do different things than others and make no panic sell.

If we do this all the time, to panic all the time the price is declining, then how can we be able to take profit on it, we will just lose our fund and investment, so better not to do investment if you cannot control your emotion and you are in doubt in everything that you are doing, it is fine to do investing, but be wise with your decision, think well.

If you ask me, it is panic selling which has worse consequences as compare to the postponing. When some sells out, the amount of his asset and holding decreases. However a simple delay will not cause any sort of deficiency in his asset. With time when his asset will rise up again, he will be able to make profit but the sold coins are hard to recover. Selling out after losing emotions is not great.

It all depends on the market situation, when the market is in a downward situation, delaying trading is the most effective option when compared to selling it out of panic.
and when the market goes up again you can continue trading again, stupid thing for those who sell it out of panic, because that can affect market movements.

The whales love people who panic selling.
As we know, many whales that holds a thounsands bitcoin can make a market make a movement.
When they do massive sell on most markets, I'm sure price will drops and the panic seller will do cut loss.
But when the whales do the massive buy, the panic seller will buy the btc again with higher price.
And this process looping and make the whale whaler :D

Yes, I agree with what you said; these whales can make the bitcoin and another cryptocurrency a price movement. That's a great tip to those panic sell that they make there own TA so that they don't panic selling and lose their money. Also, the reason why whales do that because they can profit a massive amount on that because, as you said, some ppl panic sell their crypto when that price drops and buy again at a higher price. :)

No doubt the worst is panic selling where you are about to sell how much or what you have in a loss position as most often to happen in trading. While if you chose to postpone trading it is like holding or leaving your position. Both have advantages and disadvantages but you need to learn them when and what is better things to do.

Both of them are bad but I feel panic selling is more worse. Why did I say so? It's simple. It goes beyond say that not being able to control one's emotion while trading is usually one of the leading factors to failure for new traders. I know someone who panic sold and shorted bitcoin at $7300 and today the market has taken the opposite direction. He's currently close to getting liquidated. His losses thus far has exceeded over $20,000. As you read, His inability to get a hold of his emotions has cost him.

On the other hand, One can postpone trading for a while and keep your finds in a USD pair like USDT. Yes, your amount would stsy the same. That's better than taking the L in my opinion. Only thing is, You might miss out on some upward opportunities.

If we panic all the time there is nothing we can do for it, we will just waste our money and wasting our time buying at high and selling at low. We should invest when we are ready, if not yet ready, then don't push yourself, don't do panic buying too, seek guidance and help for those whom you trusted most for you to be inspired, investing is not that easy but be worth it if you have a lot of patience.

I agree with you. Panic selling is the worst that can happen to anyone rather the worst mistake that one can ever make in his life. When an investor sells out his asset due to the fear of loss, he makes an irrecoverable blunder. However, a simple postponing is just like a long term investment where once money is spend then all that an owner does is, holding for a long period of time, for pump.

Missing a trade is a normal thing. You might sometime enter a trend near the completion of the trend. But panic selling is stupid. If you're bringing emotions in the trading and selling out of influence, then trading doesn't make much a sense. You can save yourself from nboth the situations by putting stop losses in place. Stop loss will help you in maintaining the risk reward ratio. This will save you from giving in to fud or fomo.

In that case panic sell is the worst. When a trader or investor panics when the value suddenly drops, and immediately sells their crypto. The nature of the investor or trader is very easy to manipulate. People who are easily manipulated are the worst people in my opinion.

In any case, the trader experiences certain emotions because of his results, whether it is victory or defeat.  But a novice who has lost a lot of money rather than an experienced trader will experience panic.  After all, a professional always observes sharp market fluctuations and immediately after bad news or negative changes in the cryptocurrency market, takes certain actions to minimize his losses.  Yes, of course the trader is worried, but this is no longer a panic, just a professional excitement.

its better to postponed our trading position than panic selling.postponed trading mean we miss the opportunity that may occur in crypto market.personally i am prefer missed it than miss my money.we dont loss anything when we postponed trading.but when we panic selling , we could suffer huge loss.

If they panic sell, the manipulators have achieved their purpose and will surely buy at a very cheap price. This market any coin can be easily manipulated and Bitcoin can rise unexpectedly without any reason. I think you should first stabilize your mentality when participating in the crypto market because everything can happen during this time and also be careful when investing.

I do not like investing in this period because the risk is now very high and certainly you will not be able to make a profit if the psychology is not stable. I personally patiently and wait for a better time to make money because this year is not a year for small investors.

yes, 3 things that I often do when facing market volatility. make a sale to save the remaining assets, hold it by not trading, and buy when the price we think is below. In my opinion all of that is part of the crypto trade whose prices are not stable. when you ask which of these things are worse. in my opinion is to sell with panic, usually people do this because the market price is not what they expect. sell frantically, I think make yourself sorry if in the end the price starts to recover quickly. refrain from selling, for me is a pretty good strategy to get profits when prices start to rise again. so in my opinion, selling in a panic is something worse than holding back to wait for prices to recover.

Yes, indeed, sometimes the dev or the core team are postponing the trading because they don't want their token to dump due to some reasons, such as delay in launching, delay in some other things, so it is better than they took the risk in listing but have no actual platform yet, or their platform is not yet ready.

In my opinion both are as bad, before you make a trade you need to know at what level you will be out of the market, if you do not know then when the market turns against your prediction you will be in a dilemma, do you sell now or later? If you panic sell then you could lose money that you could have not lost if you had a precise idea of where your stop loss was, but if you postpone closing your position when the market is clearly turning then your losses could be many times larger than what you imagined.

As you can see the best defence against both of those mistakes is to have a system which indicates you what to do and when and not many have the luxury of having such a precise system.

As well as the risk associated in everything, there are some core team that might promise listing dates but on the date itself they postpone it, this is part of their strategy, so we can't just rant that they broke their promise, we should practice patience, as not everything we want will be in place.

Almost any investor who has entered this market has been panicking, and that period of time will be very bad because you will not be able to control your assets. In my opinion, postponing a trade only makes you lose your chance and do not need to worry too much because there are thousands more opportunities waiting for you in the near future. Of course, everyone has their own options in investing but selling panic is what makes you feel most scared when investing.

It's normal feeling to panic, but it is not normal if we are always afraid and always panicking and not learning at all, it will just worsen your profit and strategy that instead of having you own strategy what is good to do, you will panic and will start selling at cheap price, anyway, we should be learning some risk management and controlling it.

Well said, trading is not a good game for thise who have suffered in emotional experience or have not good feeling because you need to focus and you need to know when you have to control your feeling in able to stay in a trade. How many times trader losses big amount because of panic selling and suddenly after they sold the price will go up. This is a common scenario where emotional traders being caught and rekt in the market. Panic selling is definitely not a good idea to do in trading.

Panic selling is of course is the worse one of the two. When you panic sell you guarantee your losses and there is no turning back. On the other hand, if you simply just "postpone" trading or what some call "becoming a long term investor" then you at least have a chance, however slight that is, to regain value of your coin back.

Reminds me of this poem called 'Don't Quit' by some guy:

Holding your coins hoping that somehow they will recover their value in the future is not a bad strategy but only if you bought coins that have a good development team, if you bought coins just for the sake of speculation because you were trying to make money with them then most likely trying to hold your coins in those circumstances will only increase your losses, if you are going to employ the strategy to try to protect your money from possible crashes then you need to invest only a small part of your capital in a single coin.

If you do not do that and the coin in which invested crashes the losses your capital will suffer will be enormous, it is not rare to see altcoins crashing more than 90% in a matter of days and the same could happen to your capital if you invest in a single coin.

It depends on how we research the coins. If the coins still have upcoming events, many great plan ahead and maybe still can catch the investors, it's okay to hold until we get profits from it.
But if we heard the coins is dead, bad management from the team and they not care about the investors, cut loss is the best way before the value of the coin going zero.
So, it depends on the coins itself, if it's still promising why not we hold longer to see it's progress

We panic if we are new in trading, and it results to postpone trading or the moment that we unable to sell our coins and it happens that the price goes down frustrations comes because sometimes our order doesnt sold because it is tol high or we forget to sell it. Postpose trading is much worst than panic selling for me.

I don't think so. The opposite actually happens when you panic. You don't have any other instinct than to dispose your coins as soon as possible even if it means selling at a loss. For me that's the worst mistake anyone can commit when trading. Postponing your trades isn't half as bad since it could mean that you're just taking your time for better positions. Sometimes, changes slip by, but usually, postponing your trades could mean composure and self control.

I would argue that panic selling is the worse option. It not only impacts the market, it also impacts the trader. I just think about the people who sold their Bitcoin during early bear markets, and how much they must be kicking themselves now.
