What is your plan when Bitcoin will reach a new ATH?

1- Keep hodling 100% of my coins.
2- Sell a big part of my coins to buy more at cheaper price later.
3- Unload all my bags on the market.
4- I will just rebalance my portfolio. Nothing more, nothing less.
5- Sell some of them to buy something else.

1. I wouldnt wait for the bull run because as long i do see gains then i would definitely sell out.
2. Buy low Sell high

These are pretty common steps for you to take but with these kind of price movement then it would be better if you do just let your hopes that low
and dont expect that much.

Movements like this doesnt indicate bullrun but when it comes to plan then its already been set out on stone. 8)

I think of selling a large part of the current investment basket if the situation you mentioned is realized.  In the event of such a rise, although I will not turn my entire investment into cash again, I definitely do not expect to wait with higher expectations this time.  In a possible situation, it seems definitely the most logical option to sell parts piece by piece and to rework according to market conditions.

You won't know or determined what will be the new ATH. If the price able to passed its previous ATH, you will expect that the price will increase more so all these lists you have made will be all disregard since your mindset is focused on the increase.

What you need to do is to put a price target. Whatever the price situation, even the bull run is strong, execute without hesitation. That's a better approach compare expecting for more as it might lead you to regrets.

Everything will depend on how high bitcoin goes. Each ATH is subsequently accompanied by a severe recession, so I will try to fix profits as high as I can and then try to re-buy. I think many will try this way.
During the last ATH, everyone expected that bitcoin would rise above $ 20,000, but in the end it lost. I think media forecasters played an important role here, who predicted further growth of bitcoin.

I should have said when the price will past the previous ATH of ~19K. From that point we will be in uncharted territory. Some are expecting price as high as 100K within the next two years and I don't find it too far stretch considering all the fundamentals (the Brrr and the bitcoin market cycle, etc..). But correct me if I'm wrong, I heard many times that selling in ATH territory is usually a sweet spot since they are good odds that the price will drop down lower in the short or mid term.

I think setting a price target is indeed a good idea. Maybe with a trailing stop limit too.

You cant be sure nor determine on what would happen if the price do hits up its ATH.You cant be so sure that it would definitely rejected nor bounce back and also people would have thoughts that if price
do able to reach its ATH then theres a tendency or chances that it might able to break this time around and would shoot up into further heights that we havent reached before.
Presumptions and speculations will surely fly around because people do have their own sentiments and views when we do reach that level.In to those people who do talk about
100-200k is already out of their mind. Possibilities is there but  not to those unrealistic numbers.

Well, if you are contented with the small profit you have gained when will reach a new ATH, --you can cut your profit off and wait when the price become cheaper again. But I have one question, how you will determine the price market improvement and know the exact time when the new ATH will happen. It sounds easy to decide when there is an ATH but it is difficult to guess when will this happen.

I assume if there is new ATH I will choose number 2. Sell big parts and wait until you can reinvest again.

Would you have believe it in January 2017 when bitcoin was around 1K that it will be trading at 19K at the end of that year?

Probably sell half of my bitcoin hodlings and try to reinvest it in physical stuff and keep the half of it into my wallet and check it. Probably option number #5.

I maybe sell the half of the bitcoin hodlings I have when I see the price is in its peak and reinvest wait for bitcoin to drop it's price again and reinvest. Option number #2

I really can't just hold the bitcoin after patiently waiting for too long to reach its peak and do nothing. I think most of here will do the same.

So far that's been true, but bitcoin doesn't exactly have a very long track record.  If it was able to reach a new ATH via slow growth as opposed to being the result of a bubble, it could be possible for the price to stabilize at or around that new ATH.

I was here in 2017 and nope, I was flabbergasted that bitcoin went as high as it did and I certainly didn't think it was possible.  Hell, I remember not thinking bitcoin was going to reach $10k for at least 20 years or so. 

Since I'm not exactly a bitcoin whale, there's no compelling reason for me to sell if bitcoin gets to a new high.  I'll probably do what I did the last couple of times when the wave of euphoria hit the market, which was to grab a lawn chair and a spot on the sidewalk from which to watch the crazy-parade go by.  Threads on bitcointalk start to get really interesting when bitcoin starts to take off.

Buy low sell high. Same old same old. Ofc, I'm still going to hodl a part of my balance, but I'd sell a part of it at moment's notice whenever I see I can make noticeable gains. I don't really care whether I lose out on the big prices cause I sold early, as long as there's pretty much profit, I'm happy. Regretting would only lead to more regrets later on and would probably destroy me so nope, bye regrets. Plus, there would be more chances to hodl in the future no matter the price so I don't think there's much reason to doubt when obtaining profit.

It depends on how Bitcoin reaches said price tbh. Past Bitcoin ATH were a result of a sudden jump, and a sudden dump, as you can see. It's like it had its moment of recognition for a little while then bam, fell down back to Earth, which is imo not really healthy for the market.

Taking profits sometimes is not a bad idea at all. Especially when you put your hard earned money in Bitcoin and decided it to be a investment of yours.
You should also reward yourself. Honestly, no one knows when is the ATH or all-time-low or any dumps or pumps will happen, we should be ready.
I'll take profits a small part and wait for another some correction of Bitcoin before entering again, that's all.

If I reach the new ATH, of course I will get greater benefits. ;D

But before we reach the new ATH, I have already traded assets in advance from my portfolio by buying lower and selling higher.

But I am sure if it has reached the new ATH, the price will not easily fall due to large liquidity and so many supply requests, so of course everything will be better if it has reached ATH.

If the Price of bitcoin already reached my target value?surely i will take out all my holdings and may consider waiting for another Bear even if this took long time.

i have been waiting enough for years so i believe that enjoying my holdings is the best way to do.

if bitcoin already hit 30k then i am free to go for a while and took a break from crypto.

I will keep my BTC till next ATH happen and will sell also half of it, I'm done with waiting and being greedy. I always plan of what I can do with possible business or investment I can make before if only I was able to sell my btc when the ATH happens before, now I already set my mind in a amount I'm going to withdraw if ever it will reach that amount to do a business and diversify in other investments like real estate now that many are selling properties ain a much lower prize. We need to set our plan and not to be greedy or too excited. Monitor it and always be updated to track the Right timing.

Sell half of my holdings and leave the other half for future price, btc is a great asset to hold, it won't be nice to sell off everything, between there will always be a new ATH and what will happen then, what if after selling all your stack you are unable to buy back at a low price, besides, btc is the best investment from others and as an investor I would still want to see more profit for my investment (not trying to sound greedy) but as long as btc is still in existence it will always remain a good investment.

Probably would sell my BTC to profit substantially with what I have now. Personally, I think there is a lot of opportunities in the future when it's lower in price. So having to sell all my BTC at the best price at the time would be ideal for the future. I guess it's a risk I'm willing to take in the long run, and maybe I get the best price for my BTC, we will see.

I think what people should know that just because I sold every BTC doesn't mean I won't hold BTC anymore, and I would use that opportunity to grow more of my capital and reinvest. It's definitely a risk.

I don't have any idea yet but when that happens I'll be forced to reaction based on how I presume the market to turn out. If we can steadily grow into a new all time high like what's is currently happening where bitcoin will have a very strong support zone before spiking them obviously there won't be a need to sell my bags since it'll be certain if correction occurs it won't take the price very low.

But in a scenario where we just see bitcoin mooning without testing any resistance or support level, once it gets to a certain price that I'll be comfortable with, I'll just have to exist the market then wait for the correction to happen then buy back when I see a strong buy-in zone.

Nothing gives me joy like doubling my bitcoin holding in Satoshi and not usd that's the main reasons I trade altcoins so I could get more Satoshi. Sometimes it's profitable but other times you get burn. All is part of the experience though.

I don't know maybe I will sell, but how much will I sell depends on BTC I have and also my immediate needs when new ATH happens, if I have small amount of BTC and there are no needs to be fulfilled I will prefer to keep it as savings.

Interesting to read that everyone has his own strategy  :).
Personally, I have put some sell limit orders in place (at 15 000$ and 20 000$). If both sell orders would be executed, I still have 25% of BTC which I would keep holding until we see 50 000$ or 100 000$.
Taking profit is never a bad thing.

I'm a trend follower after all so I will buy and hold if there is now clear uptrend. Right now the current trend which is sideways are now transitioning in to uptrend and it is a good sign for me. My entry point will be in another breakout. When I do trend following, I usually do trailing stops so I do not have any target profit. In terms of momentum, the expensive price can become more expensive so holding while the uptrend is still intact is good strategy. If the price reached its current ATH, there will be another rally for sure because the major resistance is finally broken.

In my opinion, it depends on your base selling price of bitcoin. Because we don't know yet at what price of bitcoin could reached a new Ath. So for me my plan I wouldn't sell all, half of of my asset is to sell and the remaining is to hold. We have different strike nor strategy when it comes to our assets in crypto whether to accumulate or buy low and sell high. It is a matter of balancing your portfolio that will benefit you or take profit after all.

When Bitcoin will reach a new ATH, i will hold my position, of course. Because if we see a breakout of the high and consolidation above, it speaks of the strength of the bulls. Accordingly, bitcoin will have a chance to go to new unknown heights. Now a clear example of the fact, that we are bullish and we can see new highs in the medium term.

I have no shedule plan actually i always think present market. Besides bounty hunting i made trade, investment and another many tasks in forum. So i think when BTC will reach a new ATH my profit also be more and more and holding a token is no more. I always believe in trading that gives me new experience with profit though there high risk. But i am useful to take challenge so that will do normal work that i am doing.

thanks.

sIn the first place, no one here knows when that happens actually. Just all we know that most of the long term holders are waiting for the right time to sell their holdings. But for me, it is much better to apply day trading rather than doing hold Bitcoin, although Holding bitcoins is really good if you have a lot of bitcoin in your wallet.

I will still hold of my bitcoin, and if the price is at $15k range, I will sell some bitcoin to take my money back and wait for a while to the next low price. I will not sell all of my bitcoin if the price is not reach a new ATH because that will not make me make a big profit. Besides selling some bitcoin, I will also want to use some money to buy low and sell high to make more money because I think that bitcoin price will be too volatile in these situations, and that can be my chance to make a profit.

I will not commit the same mistake I did in the past so it will really happen again, I might just take the necessary steps to avoid a loss for more than 70%. The investment I did for projects that still provide income through dividends will stay unless there is a reason to panic.

Not 100% will be kept in my holdings. The plan to buy more for it is going to be carefully planned.

For an investors they will choose to sell their big part of their portfolio and wait for the cheaper price to buy them again, for me as well it choose better because I am not holding 100% of my coins, I will sell and buy from time to time.

It's always better to grab your profits at the right time and reinvest back once some collapse happened
and wait again.
Most of the traders and investors have that mentalities since the market is expected to be volatile
so when you got the chance to sell on top
The first thing is to take and grab the fruit of your investment.

I can't really tell when to sell but I have a target price to sell this time, I said to myself that when bitcoin reaches $12K I'll sell the half of it and hold the remaining, I just want to taste my old bitcoins. I already learned my lesson from the last appearance of the high prices, thought it was climbing for more price level and I end up digging my own hole for it. My plan? Not that luxurious, just wanna secure a month long grocery for my family coz we are still in a lockdown grrrr  >:(

Don't be too picky when choosing when to sell!  ;)

number 2 is what I will do...
often when Bitcoin touches ATH then the price drops because the market is saturated, I will sell my Bitcoin when it touches ATH to be bought back when the price drops.

I guess that is what most holders do or even those investors that the most anticipated event is having a new ATH.

It will goes the same at me, I will quickly cut out my profit once I know if there is. And hold it until the price will suddenly drop and back accumulating again. That is how you will make profit in crypto when there is ATH but the problem is we don't know the perfect timing and when our patient will end.

For now, we're looking forward of upcoming ATH and hopefully, there is.

I would choose to sell a big part of my coins to buy more at cheaper price later. Because by doing that I can generate
greater profits and will also get profits repeatedly. This is how I trade and become trading as a source of income. Because
if you don't sell Bitcoin right away when reach a new ATH, you will lose the moment to get a big profit.

When I see the new ATH, I sell.

It may increase or not I don't care. I would really sell most of them so I would get some profits to reinvest again when the price drops, well some of them I might trade to other good altcoins I can get at that price. I think others would do the same.

Since im waiting for this moment to sell my bitcoins I might sell all of what I have. This is to take profit after long period that im holding my coins.

Then I will wait for another dip to buy back. Its better to become wise to have no regrets later on, we know the market is unpredictable and we cant tell how long the market will stay bullish.

The last ath gave me a lesson to have a contentment and dont be greedy.

The question is what and when is the ATH for bitcoin?

We can not really define the ATH value of bitcoin because it is ultimately undefined unless and until you have some standard reference.

What i mean is, there is no limit for the money that can be spent on the BTC thus, there is no limit for it's market capping. In such scenario the value could keep rising all the time.

In addition to this limited supply of the BTC and it's ever growing popularity will bring more investments in the future and value will just keep rising.

May be it's all about how you keep holding until highest sell point, then re-buy the coins then repeat the whole scene.

It's all about booking your profits when the time is right!

I saw NEW crisscrossing your comment in the various paragraphs. Truth remains that no one knows what the NEW ATH will be, except you're talking of the ATH of 2017 of above $19,000. And by that you mean Bitcoin breaking its own record of that year and setting a fresh ATH. That means we are looking at something above $20k. Of course, when that will happen, no one knows ahead of time. We only speculate in this industry, nothing is that concrete  it can't be doubted.

Back to the OP, I think every businessman likes to take profit appropriately. That should be the general feeling here too.

Generally, I've always said that my plan for Bitcoin is bound to an objective that's either time-bound or price-bound. This means I have a set price I'd liquidate a majority of my BTC or a fixed time, whichever comes first.

Now, I don't see this new ATH reaching the price-bound target (it's not a ridiculous target and most high-end predictions surpass it), so I still see myself actively Bitcoining for at least 8 more years haha.

Be nice to be proven wrong about price-bound target. I'd liquidate the BTC, get myself and family fixed for a home to own each, some money to live comfortably and modestly, while doing the things I love to do (I actually still want to work!), leave the rest of my BTC to children to teach them to use it.

And continue trolling the forums for the rest of my natural life, for as long as it gives me joy.

I'm personally holding Bitcoin until it reaches at least $100,000.

It's either $100,000+ or nothing for me, I'm not selling in-between unless there is some serious bad news that will allow me to short sell BTC.

I'm in it for the long haul.

Once it reaches $100k, I'll take around half out and let the rest ride, as I'm sure it could reach $1m+ at that point.

The ATH is very far from happening, look at the current scenario:

reached $ 11300 and dropped to $ 10800

and now it’s stagnant in that area. for that reason I still think staying cautious is the best thing


I would choose option 2 because it is the most advantageous

When new ATH is reached I will sell off half of my bitcoin portfolio of course I would have made a reasonable amount of profit for hodling I will surely use the fiat to buy something tangible things maybe landed property to serve like a memorable stuff that I can point to as reward for hodling bitcoin ie I am going for option 5 I am not going to sell the whole portfolio  for I know bitcoin to become a future asset and new ATH will always be reached in the nearest future.

I am among those who are optimistic about seeing the rising price of Bitcoin. So I believe that Bitcoin soon reaches the ATH price,
and if that happens then I will sell some of it. Maybe I will sell 70% of the Bitcoin that I have to enjoy profit and the rest I will
hold in case if the price continues to rise. However, if the price goes down I can buy Bitcoin again.

Well, I believe that bitcoin will reach its ATH, and I have plans now to collect assets so as not to miss the train. if bitcoin reaches its ATH, I might see the situation first. if there is still a possibility to increase, then I will try to hold it in advance

We are waiting for the market price of the bitcoin will rise again at the top and gives a lot of profit and also I want to share what I will do if it may increase.

• 1. Hold until it reaches the market price I want because sometimes most of the people are getting greedy on this market volatile and too much holding the price right now is dumping which is not good feedback on the income. So hold until it reaches my satisfaction.
• 2. Buy a lot when the market price falls down and sell when it reaches the highest market mark.
• 3. If the bitcoin reaches into its ATH why not make an investment again

The bitcoin will become remain at 5k to 7k I guess because it will become a lot of loss if the market price of the coin falls down because the people rapidly panic selling.

I am a long term holder and the first option is what I would prefer at my end.
It's well known that long term holding makes huge profits and I believe that bitcoin is bound to go big in the long run.
Along with that I am holding ethereum too since I like the tech and the team behind it.
I am optimistic with ethereum and bitcoin  ;)

I never think of anything happening in the market, because I don't have a big fund in terms of bitcoin. If I clearly understand the ath price is reached, I'll try to cash out or to USDT what is available in the form of bitcoin. Further once again when the price drops low, again will buyback to profit out of it.

That's not even a question though. I will definitely go for number 3, without a doubt. Because actually, even a little increased happens in the market, it became my habit to sell off huge part of what I hold. I don't know, if it is a bad thing/gesture for someone, however I don't mind, since it was already a gain, after all. Well, anyway, that's what everybody would do (sell), whenever btc market price came to such point  :P. Well, who would not?

I will be just praying to god that bitcoin transactions will finally cost a lot less because right now it costs about 0.0005 in some places and withdrawing that much amount when the price is $20k would be seriously killer for me to use bitcoin, I will 100% surely move to another coin. Bitcoin needs to figure out how to drop the cost of transactions and we as the people who use these exchanges that steal from us via the "withdrawal fee for transaction fee's" type of scam need to make a noise.

There are too many places out there that charge you a ton of money for withdrawing, the bitcoin itself is charging you a lot for transaction as well actually, even though it is lower than withdrawal fee, it is still a lot. Until that $20k happens I want them to go down to 10% what it is today at least, and if not I am not going to use bitcoin.

When BTC reaches about 50,000 I'll be thinking of selling it, but that doesn't mean I will sell right away, I'll just be ready to do it, but there's still a long way to go

This is still a far cry from the real price because Bitcoin's price first needs to return to $20,000 because if this price is achieved, then BTC will soon reach the new ATH. I still have faith in Bitcoin but this is not the time for you to be optimistic because the bear market can come back anytime. However, this is a good time for you to consider investing because the value of Bitcoin is still cheap.

   My original plan is to hold Bitcoins as long as I can. What I learned here on forum are benefits of selling on top and buying
back when price drops, the next time Bitcoin make new all times high price I will consider selling half of my Bitcoins and
if price really drops I will buy again and I will have more Bitcoins.
   

Initially as far as Bitcoin is still not reaching another ATH, I am still keep on acquiring more Bitcoins at a cheapest price possible because I do plan to hold a part of it when the price reach a new ATH and also sell a part of it to gain profit and buy more when price started to put down and that is when I grab another opportunity of acquiring more Bitcoins to hold again and sell to gain profit. That is the usual cycle most of us basically do. Buy low and then sell high and somehow hold some for good reasons of course.

Right now I am just focusing on how I can maximize my earning capacity to acquire more Bitcoins that I can so I can buy more to be able to gain more profit once Bitcoin reach its new ATH. I am buying what I can while the price is still affordable so that I can obtain more potential profit when the expected event or scenario happen. This is just normal and seems to be a cycle for us who have Bitcoin. We tend to seek for opportunities on how we can earn Bitcoin first then sell it once the price increases and then coming from that earning buying again and then do the same thing repeatedly.

Sell? I mean if it reaches to a new high you should sell. Only buy when something goes down and only sell when it goes high, do not buy something that is going up, and do not sell something that is going down. People are basically doing the exact opposite of this because of emotional thinking and that is why I believe there is basically zero chance that people who fail to understand the basic concept of "buy low, sell high" would make a profit.

Moreover if you want to make a profit from ATH, I would say just focus on holding your current coins, you do not have to sell, but just don't buy at least, and when you hold it, there is a huge chance that you could make a profit by focusing on the lows and if things get low you could buy in bulk thanks to that.

My plan has always been to get into Bitcoin when the price is at its lowest and then when it increases I will sell it and make profit. And moreover I have really tried, cause' I have been holding my coins since 2018 that I invested. I have two wallets, and one is a hot wallet, a wallet that I use every day for making transactions, then there is the second wallet which is my cold wallet where I store cryptocurrencies that I want to Hodl for a long time. Whenever the price is low, I buy coins that I have confidence in and then hold them till their prices increase and I sell them.

When we target something very big prices, I guess long term holders will not bother price levels like this. Getting back to current ATH is highly expected one and I am expecting big growth incoming months so that bitcoin may reach $100k or 1 million dollar level as well. If we are patience enough then we can easily enjoying such high levels for sure.

I believe most forum members must be waiting for such targets rather than looking for short term target like $20k levels. I guess through this topic, most people might have got good idea on what they can exactly expect from bitcoin in long run.

if the global predictions are 100k+   then im sure from 20k the buyers really starting the buying !!


and im sure the wall street and news will say that ouuu...we are so bullish now... ..lets invest its so bullish lol:D

I have lesson learned from the past when btc reaches all time high so this time I would accumulate more btc to earn. Since we don't know at what price the all time high maybe I could sell some and accumulate for future holds. It is really depends on us how we can sell and earn when btc increase. So I would still apply the basic the buy low and sell high.

The feeling of selling at that price will be so strong that it will be very difficult to resist the urge not to sell especially knowing how the market operates, if btc hit 50k it could easily correct down to a very reduced price just like what happen back in 2017, so am sure when that happens those people who miss selling back in 2017 would be so eager to sell, although we can't say for sure if btc will hit that price.

year  2020  ath   20k it might be .....who knows



life is a numbers game...  2020   20 k ATH ,sounds good right?

Practice says that one should never underestimate the cryptocurrency market and especially one should not trust Bitcoin. The fact is that under the current conditions, it is very profitable long-term investment in Bitcoin, since there is a very high probability of a bull run already next year. Therefore, the only correct solution would be to actively accumulate bitcoin, even at current prices. At the same time, it is necessary to take into account the softening of legislation regarding cryptocurrencies in many countries, as well as the attraction of institutional capital to the cryptocurrency market.

If you believe in bitcoin, then this is the best way to increase its quantity, so that you can later sell it for even more and buy even more bitcoins at a low price. This process has no end. But we must leave part of the profit for ourselves to comfortably wait for the price of $100 thousand.

Yes. This process will just keep on repeating until we gain higher number of bitcoin and hold it for another future ATH. Athough i will sell some of my bitcoin to make profits and buy another at a low price, i also have in my mind keeping some of the profits for my other plan starting a real-life business so i won't rely on crypto alone for my family's survival.

I will definitely sell them in preparation for a new sell-off of the whales. After having cash I will invest in Defi projects, it is definitely the best bargain in the coming investment period.
Bitcoin is the king of coin, when it increases, the market is bustling with many forms of investment, especially with hot projects. when capitalization is large, it will attract new cash flows and Defi is one of the new technologies that can solve that problem easily by borrowing. So it will be a hot trend in the coming years, not just a few months.

I will very happy when bitcoin will reach a new ATH. I hold some promising altcoins with own blockchain.
I will sell a half of my altcoins , Then I will buy some goods that I wanted like car or new home.
