panic selling

[osmo]

I think it is very influential to a small investor like me. in my opinion very influential on the big investors to get a little profit. and most importantly is confidence and prediction of the ups and downs of trends in the market. and treding also takes a bit of luck

This might only affect the bitcoin market if they have a large enough quantity. Followup effects might be others being tempted to do the same or maintaining their hodl on their coins. It's really going to be dependent on their outlook of the market in both short term and long term.

This is always possible and can happen any time. What Im more worry is that some of major exchanges will be closed and that will make panic sell again.

[bitsnkes]

What if somebody will make a huge dump and sell it all the way to earn some profits because of this rally in bitcoin,and someone sees it and do that same thing. Is there any effect on bitcoin when someone to this,?

sitting in 2017 and answering a question from 2016 is a fun.
yeah see there are many big giants already sold their part of bitcoin already and make millions ,and still bitcoin is holding its value strong and even better in a year it have grown 3time or more.
So for the future also big dumps will only be oppertunity to buy more and more.

With so many speculators and people who are investing more than they are really comfortable with, there's always gonna be some panic selling. Nobody knows what the intrinsic value of bitcoin is, and most people who buy bitcoin hasn't even made up their minds about a sum. When they don't have any idea what they think it's worth and only trade in the hopes of it going up indefinitely, any change downwards is scary. Also most people get the risk factor wrongly. When the price is down it's less risky to hold coins than when the price is up. However many people think opposite, and that if the price has gone up that's a sign of strength or something.

Again this time I guess bitcoin pump is over and it's going to be another panic time for weak hands because it's time for the altcoins to shine again.
Hold on guys or you will loss your money if you will sell this cheap, since the hype is over and people already get their free money then I guess they will dump both BTG and BTC to ride on with some altcoins with serious potential.

What major exchanges will stop operating starting the next month? All i know is only major exchanges on china will start to closed by the next month, which im little worried when happened.

IMHO. The higher it climbs the sharper and lower it falls. However, they say, the death is only beginning...

I agree with you. The second fork is now over and people will definitely sell a lot of their bitcoin gold and bitcoin in order to take a big profit. Then, it will cause a big chain reaction and the price of bitcoin will be dumped extremely hard. We can not prevent that. There are always people who are panic and they are controlled by the market and whales. They can not make their own decision

Not for bitcoin because when the price pump it will not dump hard back when there is a bad news, we have seen many instances where the price has increase so much and just like what happen recently when we broke the ATH by reaching $6,000 and price now has only slight dump while altcoins market are now healthy again.

prices will fall and maybe some people will panic sell but better to hold because the price will rise again and if panic sell will loss

[Nonakryse]

there is definitely a crowed effect and market psychology involved into trading. Things are usually not as bad as they really are, but the fact that people react in a certain way when these "news" are releasesd, makes the issue multiply even though it shouldn't. There is a market pschology or "sheep" mentality going on, where everyone is following gain/profits, so it's enough for 2-3 big players to dump e.g. a coin, and the rest is most likely to follow. That is why pump and dump is so common in the crypto space, a few players can change the mentality of most traders by offloading or buying big stacks in certain coins, and before the people know about it, they already take the profits and let the rest of the people who invested in it to go flop. So a good leason is not to follow the market, but to follow and be loyal to the project you support.

In the world of crypto currency, the worst thing one can ever do is to get panic at the time when the prices are falling down and go for selling his bitcoin. There is nothing fruitful which you can get by losing your control over your emotions. In fact, this will only add lot of troubles for you as you will be going to suffer a huge loss. You only need to remain patient and keep holding your bitcoins under such scenarios.

The Bitcoin  lost half its value in 2013 because of a panic sell-off.

[bestluck]

after buble bitcoin will be down once again lets make stress promote

Ups and downs are part of business life. There will be so many occasions when we’ll experience the market price of bitcoin going down.

This doesn’t mean that we should get panic and lose control over our emotions. In fact, we need to be well prepared to face such kind of situations in a better way than just getting panic and selling all our coins at low prices. The only key is to remain patient.

Well it is not the stress because it is the worldwide currency and a lot of the countries are promoting the bitcoin in their country so it s the god time to buy the bitcoin and get the bitcoin as the side income, if we will buy the bitcoin today and then will hold for the long time then this will be the best thing to do and to invest the capital of the money in bitcoin. It is not the time to sell the bitcoin it is very important to be patient and wait for the long time.

At present bitcoin is at peak and this is the best time of taking maximum advantage of this currency which has the magnificent potential of making you rich without doing any hard work especially physical one. Many countries are making bitcoin legal day by day which clearly shows the importance of bitcoin for the economy of world. Invest into bitcoin right now for a better and prettier future.

and because of this a lot of people are now millionaire thru bitcoin, they grab this opportunity to make more money and if this thing will happen again I'm pretty sure to invest all my money on bitcoin, Panic selling will not help you survive it will just help you loss the opportunity for a lifetime. Hold as you could, don't panic.

[zulkarnaen]

those who have the patience and confidence of bitcoin and dare to invest in it will certainly get a chance to be able to benefit greatly from bitcoin in the future.
and I agree with you not to panic in the face of price reductions from bitcoin.

the market usually move into opposite of public opinions , just prepare for something unexpected.

when people to expect bitcoin get crashed because of several makes sense reasons which you have stated it above, a real trader and some pump/dump group will start to play the game at least to delay the drop and take newbies money ,as always. stay calm and prepare your plan B.

Actually, it lost a lot more than that.  The spike to around $250 earlier in 2013 ended with a very quick crash to around $50 (80% loss).  The subsequent spike to around $1100 at the end of 2013 was followed by a long, drawn-out fall to around $150 (~85% loss) over the following year.

At this moment, I doubt that events that made bitcoin to fall to its lowest point will never happen again. Just like what happen recently where China made bitcoin to decrease it's value and made others panic, Japan was there to   help bitcoin recover. It will be just a normal fluctuations.
