How do Bitcoin traders know when it's the best moment to sell?

[oaks05]

trying to play the guessing game on buying and selling will do nothing but drive you crazy, I tried it  with the stock market a few years ago drove me nuts, just buy hold and when it drops dont let it bother you too much it will rise again.

Just try to looak at some news and rumour about bitcoin and try to write your speculation, because the bad news will give the decrease price of bitcoin and i think just sell them before the deadline of the news such as what will come on 11 march

It's a gamble. Nobody can say for sure when it's the best moment to sell.

If you're big enough to move the market with your own trades, then you know exactly when to sell, which is right after you've pumped up the price.  And I am using the word "pumped" here correctly.

Other than that, what Gloober said.  No one really knows, because no one knows the future.  And in bitcoin, there isn't exactly inside info anyone can trade on that I know of.  It's all guesswork.  For instance, the price has risen pretty steadily to $1250.  Wouldn't you think now would be a good time to sell?  Maybe--but you don't know where we're going from here.  We could crash or we could go to fucking Pluto.  No one knows, not me, not you, not Donald Trump, not the bum on the street corner.

That is easier said then done. Even the master manipulator will get burned sometimes. I little misstep in the process and you will lose more than you might expect. We have seen this happen in the real world when the banks' bubbles popped during the crash in the housing markets years ago. But what did they US government do? They bailed them out.

Speculations without basis might cost you to be put in a risky situation. Once we have made a wrong decsions like investing in such shit coin, don't expect it will rise up again because dumpers would continue dumping their coin in order for them to earn profit. Hence, I advice just trade only in a well known coin/company do that it won't fall gradually since it has a strong foundation.

For me it is more of a trial and error. No one really knows how the market will move, they just either sell or buy when they think that it's the perfect timing. However, there's no accurate way to know if the price will move up or down. IMO It still depends on the traders if they pump or dump their coins. Lucky if you gain profit

How do Bitcoin traders know when it's the best moment to sell and then buy again?
How to get that moment just before the crash?
How do experienced traders keep holding and predict the best sell time just before the crash?

a bitcoin traders can know when the time is right to sell / buy bitcoin, because they work based on data and observations in the chart reading market prices, so they do not necessarily just by feel, in addition to the experience was the one who guided his

Once price reached to peak value, people can knows that via price chart, then they will sell or buy its all according to that only. As of now many people will sell the bitcoins due to its price value being now. but traders buying the bitcoin greater than the google price chart in LBC.

What did I just read? Your post is not only shows your ignorance but it also shows your lack of quality in posting. You did not think your post through and you are already borderline spamming.

If you really think what you said has weight then try to defend that post. If people can know when to buy and sell through the price chart then why are there still losing traders?

March 3rd around 7am GMT was the best moment to sell.

[perla]

i am not experienced trader, but i always sell right after my price alarm sound me to remind , if price goes up or down i am not regret about it. but i see my friend always sell before price goes down, 1 thing that i know is he can read price chart

From what I know, it is basically about setting targets, both for buying and selling. Some of the more advanced and professional traders have super fast computers that executes multiples of trades in a matter of seconds. They are the ones who take advantage of the minute to to minute changes in the price of bitcoin.

Market Analysis, experience, market study and calculated risks. These are major factors in assessing best moment to trade bitcoin.  There is also a gut feeling for some traders. Once calculated risk pays off you are good.
So if you analysis shows price may rise then set up a target and adjust the stop-loss lock wait for price rise.

[notme]

Be proactive, not reactive.  Place limit orders ahead of time and when one is hit, put in the opposite order at a reasonable profit level.  Then, just let volatility handle the rest.

The only way to reliably make money on Bitcoin has been to hold it.

Trading it is tempting but a losing game for most (except the trading platforms). If you want to dip your toe in it my advice is to set your goals in advance, small enough that you don't feel the need to remove them when you get nervous.

Setting the target will make us to easily manage when to sell and make a trade could become more professional because I believe that professional traders certainly have a target profit / loss. In essence, to determine the best time to sell we have to know when prices will drop and this usually have signs, such as:

When a candlestick chart rising but body candle getting smaller
When body bearish candlestick chart lengthening
When market rises, but the indicator decreased

Usually in trade signs like that would make the price down and it was the best time to sell before the prices will drop.

Nobody times it exactly and nobody knows the exact moment "just before the crash".

The smart traders usually take some money off the table in stages - they set themselves targets and obey those targets and don't cry if the price goes up after they sell.

I think it was the Rockerfellers who said that they got rich by "selling too early". What they meant was they were not too greedy and understood that it is impossible to predict the exact highs and lows, so you look for reasonable profits and book them.

I hope people took my advice above and sold some of their holdings when BTC was at $1270...

They don't, the only fool proof way of making profits in bitcoin (simce it's creation) has been HODLING.

Theres no precise answer to this because no trader could able to know on the things that would happen ahead of time and this thing which makes trading would be really hard because we cant predict anything but well there are news and analysis will help you out to somehow trace on when would be the best time to sell.

You had the point. and i think there are other things that we don't know like a group some traders are making a group that actually they can give a signal from who holds a lot they will give a signal to sell so if they sell better to sell also your holdings so that you can make profit while the price is going to dump. analysis can be help but strategy still the best in mine.. like setting margin 20% to 50% sample we started of 800 usd and everytime the price was increase in $25 you sell few bitcoin and the rest is for next margin..

As the saying goes, "Hindsight is always 20-20." During that time what were the majority of the people trading Bitcoin were thinking? Judging from the threads and comments made, they thought it will still continue going up to $2000. If everything starts going the other way they will then start threads that the drop will go below $1000 and that Bitcoin is dying, when in fact the drop should be an opportunity to buy more.

That's how the market of trading is going. If you are in a huge group which gives signals when to sell or buy, you're lucky enough as it would benefit to you certainly. However, it's also risky of following on their channel since they can betray you, hence you shouldn't always be dependent on that channel so that you can still save your capital to be traded.
