Tactics When Market is Falling

[Svelto]

I can understand your worries. But I suggest you to look at the previous years prices and compare the prices long term. Crypto currencies are prompt to have such big fluctuations.

Most of the stocks that have become undervalued are those that have been ignored by the market for some time because they have small float for trading or hardly followed by analysts.
BDO Leasing and Finance (BLFI) is one example of value investing. This stock has been trading below its book value with average P/BV ratio of 0.92x for the past five years while earnings have consistently grown by an average of 16 percent per year. This year, BLFI has captured the interest of investors and its share price has gained 70 percent to date that is almost double its book value.

It is very important to have a plan before investing so you can always have targets and response actions. If you are investing for the long term then you should have done your due diligence to trust your investment and hold on no matter the turbulent state of the market, if it is for short term then you should have tolerant losses below which if the market goes below you sell off immediately. It is simply a question of intent what action plan you choose to take.

But looking at historical charts and price movements won't gaurentee future price movements but one can take reference to predict the future. Sometimes markets won't recover at all from a crash for example japanese stock markets which are not at all recovering after a big crash. Likewise Crypto might also not recover if it crashed too hard for years. Everything is backed up by faith only.

In my opinion - during the loss. You always need to reevaluate your coins - and selling with a loss is only a loss as long as you sell it for less eth or satoshi than you bought it for. I will revaluate my losses now, why is someone causing bigger loss than others? Is this because they are not delivering? Always check on your coins status of roadmap, customer base, and "switch alts in the dip" if you se that others are advancing. I have such a coin I wish to sell -I am just waiting for the right time.

When market is failing, all you have to do is wait until when the cheapest value of a certain coin you want to invest occurs. You have to buy this coin at a very cheap price, enough for your bag to be full. And when the market gains back it's normal form, then it's time for you to wait for the time when your token rises high and sell it to earn profit.

It is most appropriate not to succumb to the general negative sentiments and maintain the position.

[RonJohannson]

I would say that before you invest, set parameters such as how much you are willing to lose, how long you want to invest for, and what is your ultimate earnings goal. 

If you're in it for the long haul and have money to spend, and are a believer in the coins you own, then buy the dips.  If your'e daytrading then train yourself how to look for various technical patters and trade accordingly, with some short term and medium term profitability goals in mind.  The old saying is that $500 per day keeps a real job away, so aim for that and see how you do.  You'll learn to get better over time. 

It's hard to watch the price go down, but it can be less hard if you are viewing it in the context of an overall plan you have created for yourself.

I'm thinking not to sell for sure! During the fall of the market, I usually buy and not sell!

If you missed the moment to get out to USDT you need not to do anything and stay calm. But if you are experienced enough you need to hedge your funds with USDT/fiat at highs.

Calling the highs is the tricky bit. I usually sell at the bottom and it has served me well . Hold of course is the best strategy but with the gains this year, hedging is also good to allow you to get some sleep and not having to check the price every hour

[Chefironside]

if the market is deep you can buy ico cheaper. I also try to buy whenever I get a lot of eth or btc for dollars.
then I can buy ico token cheaper on the day.

Investing in crypto takes a lot of courage and bravery especially if you invested a relatively huge amount. But mostly those bravery will be tested in times like this. Sometimes panic is good depwmpnding the performance of your coins. The only thing I call it success when I sell them with no doubt and hesitations. So my tactic is hold, buy more and hold, wait till it pumps and sell.

[FDC1412]

You are right that its a good strategy to just hold but what's more better is to buy now specially all tokens are dumping and all coins are dumping. Its a good stock marketing strategy that is even applied on a real stock market.

[cryptogeek101]

When it is falling, a lot of people will ask you to buy or to hold, but you should look for the reasons why the price is falling, if its caused by usual correction then holding or buying is already correct, but if you found something suspicious, like the coin developer want to scammed people or there are weakness in the coin, then you should sell, investing in alt coin need patience and need a strong mind

I think I have to go with your opinion and advice because it one of the best I have seen so far. You actually need a strong and calculative mind to invest your money in cryptocurrencies. Taking time to study the crypto market is first step to success in this business.

[sallydavisy]

Buying the deep only work in a bull market. Crypto market is definitely bullish now and it will be like this for a while.

[Benarand]

Hi all,
I am a relative newbie but have remained pretty calm during the difficult last week or so. The markets are falling significantly again, is this still relatively normal and is the best advice just to HODL? Moving forward I think I will set stop losses on all holdings to protect my capital against falls like this.
Thanks

The main rule is not to panic, to be calm and at the first suitable opportunity not to sell all your coins. Investing in crypto requires a lot of attention and patience. You will remain calm, then you will succeed in this business.

[chimcoin]

Yes! these are also useful tips that i used when the market is falling:
1. Follow written  Plan.Write out a plan, even if it’s simple at first, and follow it religiously.
2.Keep Learning On A Daily Basis.The markets are changing every single day and the strategies that you may have used 2 months ago might not work now. You need to continue to educate yourself on a daily basis while holding Bitciin or altcoins.

[Flamebellow]

If market just started to fall you can cash out and later , when price get stabilized you can buy tokens you like . If market already dropped significantly , the best you can do is hodl

Everytime that there is a falling like this it seems that panic is the normal response of many and end up into foolish decision. In the panic stage remember that the confusion is there so making a decision on that stage is not applicable. Calmness is actually what the investor must have in every situation like this so that what ever decision will be regret is not possible.
