Why do you think the time is now? Because there was a 5-10% overall market cap correction from ALT? Lol
Sometimes I do not understand people's thinking. Just that there is a tiny drop in prices, and people already believe that the market has collapsed ... Just in such moments should return hope for earnings and investment.
There are several reason for this.
1. Some people come to crypto from bonds or balanced equity / fixed income funds and are not used to crypto volatility. So they may be frightened by relatively small moves.
2. Others over invested for their financial situation or bought at the top, or bought on leverage or have poor risk control, so they may panic even with small moves.
What I have noticed with BTC is as BTC gets more mature the magnitude of the drawdowns from the peak accumulation seems to decrease. We used to get 50% to 80% retracements from the peak, in 2017 the drawdowns appear to be smaller than they have been when BTC had a much smaller capitalization.
My advice to traders is to buy and hold your core names with strong technology/use cases. Its too easy to get kicked out by the vol and regret it later.
