Volatility is something that can never be erased in crypto world and stock market so why are people sleeping on a present market condition? When bull starts around it starts feeling like it's never going away and when bears comes around it looks like good times aren't ever coming again, all this crypto vibes are based on time this is why crypto adopters must be smart enough to always know when to buy and when to let go, selling isn't the end it's just the beginning of having more assets in your portfolio

This is for those who knows about buying low and selling high, repeating this process will increase the numbers of coins you own, a sell isn't always a final sell so is buying too, always sell when price of the coins is higher and wait for some corrections to buy back, repeat and repeat you will end up with more coins and tokens

It’s really quite simple to be honest. You do the opposite of what most others do. You buy when everybody else is afraid & you sell (some) when everybody else is greedy. Human psychology means most people do the opposite though which is why there aren’t many rich people.

Actually it most of us can not sell on perfect top. But selling on time can change our portfolio dramatically. For example, just think you sell off your BTC at 69k so now you can buy BTC with a lower price and have 1.5X amount of BTC with that same money. That makes the difference between a smart investor and a panic seller.

Whales can drive the market to their favor and they make money by doing the opposite of market sentiments. When BTC cross 60k many said now 100k is inevitable for BTC but the market didn't follow people's sentiments. Now people are saying BTC will touch 30k level but I think this time also they will be heartbroken.

I do think that it's a good idea to accumulate during the bear market phase.

The only way that you lock in your losses is if you realize them by selling at a lower price. If you keep your position open through the thick and thin then you are much more likely to come out on top at the end.

There are a lot of new money that flooded into the crypto ecosystem during this bull market, which really shows as people are panicking over this 20% drop over the past week. Nothing to be concerned about.

Bear market means the prices are low so you can make profits by buying assets at low price and sell them at high prices the. How can you claim that its not a good idea?

Its risky though but will have the rewards for doing it but never forget that it will not apply for the shitcoins which once falls then it may never recover from it in the next bull market.

It's not something wrong. People are feeling panic to see their portfolios get drained slowly and they are feeling panic after see that happens. that's something that people can't be argued. I thought that this is why they are always making noise anything was a scam once the market turns to be bearish market. They lose their unrealized profit and that's it.

People always wanna see their portfolios to grow. that's not a problem. People just wanna their money become even bigger forever and that's why they can't accept to see once their portfolios are going down with the bearish trend that happened with bitcoin and market. Crypto is only pump and dump. The dump will not be last forever. So many panic sellers now losing their money.

Everyday there will always be new users come to the crypto and they are not familiar with this kind of situation. FUD was making the market even worst and those newbies are cutloss their investment. Those newbies will not easily be educated caused by they didn't have good metal when it comes to the bearish trend like this. I have seen there are bunch new people come to the crypto a few weeks ago and they didn't know what happened with the crypto market. They're always calling crypto as scam when it got dumped to the bottom.
They lack of education but at the same time the crypto market is on the bearish trend. These days are so hard for all of them.

well, because of this a lot of people are talking about this. what I mean is, the technique is simple, and looks easy. buy at the right time, and sell at the right time. even when I started my journey in crypto, I immediately understood that trading has such a pattern, and I thought it was easy.
however, it is very difficult to determine the correct time. even when you have a lot of information, crypto movements are not easy to predict. Well, a lot of people can't stand that and leave the crypto world. In addition, when the price drops, many weak hands sell, and also many people who used to think they would buy when the price fell became hesitant. Well, that's a common thing in the crypto world.

To be honest, those who have been in the market for a long time, they know this thing... I mean they know when the market is down we have to buy and when the market goes up ( in bull market) we have to sell.

also I believe that from the 19 may dip, many people have learned lesson that whenever bitcoin goes down, then it starts a good rally to the upwards... So yeah it's good time to fill our bags so that we can sell when FOMO starts.

Yesterday I bought some and waiting for further drop if it's not bottom...

People aren't sleeping on this dip, it is that many are still assessing if it's a good time to buy for them. They can't decide if they are going to buy because they're thinking if the market will possibly go down for some more. It's true that selling isn't the end, we buy, we sell and we hold and that's the process that's never going to end unless you want to have a full exit in this market. But if you're staying, you have to be used to it because that's how the life in cryptocurrencies as an investor and trader.

Cryptocurrency market is highly volatile this fact is known by every individual so it is clear that if a person has some kind of gain then it is wise to sell that coin. If the price rises then there are now two options with each user whether he should sell and and but somewhat new coin which he desire and may be he hold it to gain more profit. Selling with low price is not a good plan as it is full of loss. Users can buy even lots of other coins if he sell one with profit.

What you're saying was true but can you sure if new joiners will be following this and they will do to hodl their assets? So many fear in the market. When you're selling at the price and this can be matched with the title of your thread but when someone was selling his coin at the deep price and they may get less coin once the price of coin to go up again as he was loosing some value. He must pay more to get into the coin again.
Volatility was just a common thing but have you ever tried to say this to the newbies? They may deny what you're saying above. Their money was so important even some invested in crypto use their life savings.
This is the main problem why there are people that can't be patience to see the chart is always red

Yes but there is such factor called time. If you missed to sell during that time then you are definitely gonna wait for another cycle again or another time to sell those high price and when bear arrives that you don't sold your tokens then your gonna be like an investors who locked their tokens who already finish their goal and will start a new one.

dude what u saying its true its like poetry  :D

in fact Volatility become chalenge in this industry fear and greed become everyday life right

the negative side u can always lose money in matter of minute but the positive side there is no bank in the world that flip your portofolio hundred of percent %%%


Keep HODL guys and stay safe  ;D

That's correct. But now is not the selling part of that cycle. That is why I look up to people who could muster their courage to sell during the bull run. It's not an easy task especially when you see how the market keeps on going upward. Now, all they have to do is look for the right moment to buy back but even at this price, they will gain enough cryptocurrencies to tell themselves they are in a winning situation already.
It will only differ on how investors look at profits. Is it by the amount in cryptocurrencies or in USD? I prefer the former.  

What will happen if the dip goes dipper? I think it's smarter to buy bit by bit because it's reasonable that bear market is coming this year, don't go all in on a project by dips and wait for more dips this is the way.

As you said, the market is not good at the moment and I am busy diversifying the coins or coins I have. It is not clear whether it is a bear or a bull. Wherever Bitcoin goes, the market will either be bearish or bullish. The leading engine is bitcoin unfortunately.

I said this a month ago that it's a time to start holding USDT or other stable coins instead because huge correction is coming, crypto thing is just time base if you can use the timing right you will keep growing higher, know when to sell and know when to buy back, dollar average cost is very very useful

it is true that selling assets to increase assets, because if people know how to make money in crypto, buy when the market is low and sell when the market is high, that's the cycle.
but sometimes a person's greed can cause destruction in determining sales targets

I understand that some people may not be in favor of holding for long term and feeling like they are missing out on a chance.

If you buy at 20, sell at 15 and rebuy at 7 then you are making a profit basically, so you are right that if you "can" do that, you should do that. However, the long term holders like me do not care about it, I just don't really think that I could make that kind of trading and I may mess that up, buy at 20, sell at 15 to buy lower, then it goes up and I have to reenter at 20 again losing a lot of money.

This is totally possible and I believe that we should not be really focusing on who should do what. Sure if you are 100% certain that you can do it then you should do it but if you are not certain that you could do it then you should stay away from these things. I like long term holding because I do not have trust in myself to be able to trade that way.

The crypto market is always up and down and with this, we can determine when to buy or sell. Buy coins that do have good prospects and sell them later when it feels profitable. Yes, it is true that selling assets that are owned does not mean it ends, because all the assets that we have always revolve here to be able to get more profits. So we just are smart in managing the assets that are owned. There are coins that are good for the short term or long term and all of that can be profitable as long as it is managed and stored properly.

If you decide to buy coins at the moment, it is better to do it in parts so that you always have stablecoins in your wallet, which can be spent on buying coins at a low price if the price continues to decline. In general, it is always good to have stablecoins in your wallet, even if the market is bullish, they give confidence in trading.

It is not as easy as you said, dude. Selling assets doesn't always take profits, it can be cut loss or selling by loss. If you are in this situation, you will probably buy again other coins but with less valued. Our target doesn't always be reached, I experienced many targets that failed to achieve in 2021. Believe me that 'buying low and selling high' is a hard thing to do.

Now that’s called as psychological dilemma of investment. Your brain tricks you when it comes to spending something valuable and in this case it is the money. You are going to stake your money into something that’s way volatile and unpredictable in the cycle of investment. This is why most of the peeps are scared of such investments and when they do it the time slows down for them a lot. It goes down the sink so much that they think it’s being long since when their investment is stuck and they are not able to get out of the bearish trends. Same happens in the reverse psychology when they have to invest and they have money but the coins are at its peak.

The funny thing about the crypto markets is that we have been made to believe that only the buy button exists but in the actual sense is that you could either short or long the market and all options lead to profits. But of course the platform where you perform these market options matters as most will only allow you to buy and hold and not really enjoy your gains.

Some times selling your tokens and not buying back is a good idea, know what you want to hold for long term cos not all coins are good for holding, there are coins and tokens that I refused to sell at high price and till date they never recovered

there are actually two differences ! first is people who invest with a lot of capital that even the money is not touched or used in his life so that if the price is down he will buy it again not sell ! another difference is that traders who every day have an income in trading and spend time in that space when prices fall will take cut losses ,sell and lose is their choice and look for other products to bet on but often do not match their analysis

the conclusion is don't bet with money that is really needed ,trade and investment are slightly different but the point is to take profits not losses ,buying low and selling high it is the basis of profit but not easy to implement because everyone's condition is different so there are losers and profit ,depending on how strong the product hodl on your portfolio ,the strong holder will be survive!

This kind of market needs to be understood in a proper manner, it's true that the basic principle is to buy low and sell high but executions are very hard to implement, you are inside the field where people do have the same mentalities, without the right knowledge you will lose your money.

Proper management and emotional control, it should begin with the amount you are risking money that intended for investment either long or short. You need to make sure that you are willing to risk the amount.

Yes but there are also other conditions to be considered like tax implications. Holding vs. selling is also dependent the tax laws within your country. When you buy in Germany and hold for more than 12 months, you can sell at 0% tax rate. But when Bitcoin drops and you think it is smart to let go for that moment because are afraid of a bear market, selling and then rebuying can be a disadvantage after all. If things turn around and you want to realize gains, but didn't hold for more than 12 months, the maximum tax as per your tax bracket applies. For people earning a lot of money, we are talking about 50% that go down the drain of your gains. So it is not that easy to come up with a general rule, in fact there is no general rule as there are all kinds if things that are different across countries and, hence, change the conditions and implications for individual decision making processes.

There are so many stories like that when it comes to tokens. A lot are regretting not selling their tokens while they still have value in the market. Sadly, most of them died down as their devs abandoned their respective projects. So selling some of your coins or tokens is worth the risk if you will buy more valuable coins like btc or eth. Better to buy a slow moving alt, but you know they are established and they won't disappear into thin air.

Selling and buying coins at the right moment is just trading. When it comes to cryptocurrencies, it is not easy. It's very easy to trade at the wrong time and either quickly lose or lose a profit opportunity. I advise against doing this to people who are short on the cryptocurrency market. History has shown that it is safest to invest in cryptocurrencies for the long term.

Well here we need financial management, in order to avoid this problem. We must have a goal, in crypto the goal is very important.
Indeed I will not dodge, sometimes I also still have a greedy nature. But it can be overcome if we really change it.

I am fully agreed with you, If you are selling your coins in a loss so that means you have no patience and you got panic from market, if you are a trader then I suggest you should buy more coins which could you much gain.

They are not sleeping but so many things can happen with anyone started from accumulation, panic, fear, and many more. It's not a big surprise to see that so many people are getting panic. Their money are going to the somewhere even when they do nothing with it. They are only seeing their unrealized profit without think about to take profit at least a small percentage from their profit. This is the big mistake that already made by them all. When you're selling but the price is increase again and you will get less asset for your portfolios and how can you call that to have more assets in your portfolios?
I may agree if you are selling at peak price and then buy at low price but what will be happening when you are doing opposite thing buy at peak and sell at lose?

It depend on what price you buy and sell. Don't sell at a lower price, better to hold and wait the right time to sell for profit. I also think its not good to sell in bear market instead accumulate more while the tokens or coins are cheaper. But always take all the risk and choose the right coin to buy in order to gain higher profit when the market recover.

Buy low sell high, that's the most effective advice out there but most of us find it hard with the implementation. Selling is definitely fine but selling when there’s panic in the market will just causes loss.
I think it's better if we go against the market fear because following the masses that easily panicked when there is market movement means we aren't gonna making profit.
You see the whales they always going against the market basically accumulating when everyone is in fear and the result shows that they are just getting richer and richer, selling is fine but holding is just better i think because it just works.
For newbies the thing may be different and many of them sell at low and buy at high

If there is no volatility it will not be easy to make money so volatility is good to trade but in the crypto market, we see huge volatility that is not common for every trader. Yes, I agree selling is not the end, and it's just a beginning to have more assets in one's portfolio at a cheaper price. Some see this as a bad market and some consider it full of opportunities it depends on how you see the market.

You should never be married to your coins (if you know what I mean) but you should be able to sell at the right time when you’re in good profits. Never sell too much but he willing to sell some when the time is right. Fir example selling in the $50,000’s or $60,000’s & buying back when we likely hit the low $30,000’s for bitcoin. You can increase your amount of coins if you play it right.

That sounds easy to say but hard to do. Because the problem is, most of us do not even know when will be the best entry and its best exit. We will only know once its already happens.

However, if we can play it right, of course things will definitely be in a good shape and we'll be on a right tract. Selling bitcoin when it reaches its new ATH will certainly give us the best profits, and then buy back again when we finally enter its bearish season since the prices will fall drastically that time.

If there are not people who have been suffering the lose and there will be no people who can earn from the market. Remember that it doesn't true if selling will make you to have more coins and where are you getting this? This statement was totally wrong. So many people are selling at the bottom price can't get back again to the market as they have been loosing so much money from selling their assets and can it be considered as a way to doubled your coins?
You must aware if crypto was unpredictable and it was working on the opposite thing sometimes.
If you sell at low and you will lose coins but if you sell at high and this will actually make you own more coins as you can buy back again when it was getting even cheaper

With the volatility of many coins, we can expect to profit by choosing one or more coins.
Selling is not the end, but that is the way for us to make a profit or you can still hold for some time.
Selling or not will depend on our plan because there are people who do not sell before the time does not come or the price is not reached its target.
But if you sell at the bottom price, you will not profit instead of losing your initial investment money and you will find it hard to buy another coin because that will reduce your initial money.

In advance it is known that everyone wants to win, buy low to sell high, it is the ideal, but it is very hard to reach that level, the reality of the market makes us crash many times with the obvious in life. For many, this market is the ideal one to buy BTC because it is going down and I think that at any time the price can recover and give a good bullish turn, on the other hand, those who sell know that they will lose, this is normal.

So before selling at least at this time you have to think very well, because it would be leaving the market at a loss.
