Hi there
I would like to get tips from people that are in the crypto world for a while and saw a few bear markets already.
There is so much speculation right now and It makes me be uncertain about my moves (buying and selling)

Do you just always HODL? when do you know where to sell?
When do you think the market is about to go down you sell and then getting back when you think it's recovering?

I honestly have been into crypto since 2013 and had a long break, I went back before the bull-market started last 2017. As for now, I am accumulating as much bitcoin as I can. Last bull market the ATH was at $20,000 and went down to almost $3,500. If you are investing and waiting for the next bull-market, tue market might have recovered somehow, it is still the best time to accumulate bitcoin for the next bull-market. That is if you have the capability to invest and patience to HODL till the next bull-run.a

[Haunebu]

No one can accurately tell you what is the best time to sell your assets since this market is extremely volatile and the prices can shift up and down in a matter of minutes. Firstly, do your research before choosing which coin to invest in(I recommend only popular ones like BTC, ETH etc).

Secondly, invest and HODL and check the market now and then(Not everyday) and sell when the coins reach a target value that you are satisfied with.

[serjent05]

If you are here to trade, you must have a plan.  That plan should be, when to sell, when to exit at a loss, and should know the possible market cycle of certain coins.  Like for Bitcoin, there is a cycle being introduced by one of the video streamer on youtube.  He called it Bitcoin 4 year cycle,  you can then use it as reference on the period when you have to hold Bitcoin and the time when you have to sell it.
 you can check about the detail of the 4 year cycle here by Bob Loukas

For me I plan to sell probably late 2020 next year, i speculate that it would reach my target price to sell my  BTC, if not then probably would just sell some and wait for the bear market before buying again.

When do you think the market is about to go down you sell and then getting back when you think it's recovering?

In reference with 4 year cycle, the next drastic fall down of BTC price would be around late months of year of 2021 to 2022.  But I believe it is hard to predict the future especially Bitcoin due to its volatility and unpredictable price movement.  And for the record, Bitcoin had shamed lots of TA specialist out there .

[stompix]

First, this should e in speculation since it is all about the price.
Second, these questions come at a rate of a thousand a day and nobody will be able to tell for certain how the price will react, how long a bull or a bear period will last.
It's all speculation and if you're not a trader and you are in for the long run, a jump or two up or down shouldn't matter.

Do you just always HODL? when do you know where to sell?

This is the only question I can answer safely, you sell when you\re happy with what you have earned in profit.
You've done 3x 4x 10x and you're happy and you are confident you won't regret you missed an x40 then you sell.

There rest is a never ending debate

[LogitechMouse]

Do you just always HODL? when do you know where to sell?
When do you think the market is about to go down you sell and then getting back when you think it's recovering?

I bought the coins that I want to hold for long run last 2018 and that is the year when the price are slowly decreasing so obviously, I'm at a loss right now especially altcoins but I'm still holding it since its for a long run. When do I sell? Each coin that I hold, I already set a target price into when I will sell it and until that price doesn't reach I will not sell it.

I think technical analysis can help you know when the market is going down but there is no certainties about it since crypto is unpredictable. There is no guarantee that the market will go down in a certain date and will go up in a certain date. Both of them can happen anytime.

[Genemind]

I have been here for years and I have experienced a lot of ups and downs in the market. Upon investing, you should set a target goal, keep on holding until you reach that target profit.
After all, it's you who could answer when is the right time to buy and when to sell, as long as you're gaining a good profit.

[mensahkkofie]

I have not been in crypto for a very long time now but I believe it is a good time to accumulate bitcoin now, the bull run is taking off. The earlier one gets some bitcoins, the better for the individual. This is the chance to make some profits through cryptocurrencies.

I've been in the market for quite a time. My initial involvement were just limited to converting Fiat to crypto for transaction and back to Fiat. I never thought Bitcoin as an investment initially.
But if you want to make a profit from Bitcoin, buying on bear with small batches of money spread along time and selling similarly when your coins are in profit would make you a satisfied investor.

When the market condition is good like what happened in the last few days i prefer to hold my coins. I usually sell the coins when i feel the price will not go up anymore.

After a huge pump, there is always a small correction after that. So you can took that opportunity to buy and sell.

None of the good traders never enter into a deal at the very bottom and does not go out at the very maximum. It's impossible. Therefore, in my experience and practice, the ombu say that it is worth going out of the trade when you see, technically, that the movement is dying out. And no matter how much you underpain, the main thing that you will not lose. I would leave Bitcoin.

[Crypto Girl]

Do you just always HODL? when do you know where to sell?

That depends on the needs. Though I usually hold long term and selling it whenever I have profit.
You can actually set a target price where to sell thus to avoid some sort of greediness and just keeping your profit safe.

If you're just a beginner just do mid to long term trading and avoid doing scalping and other risky trading.

ive been here for a long time and its really hard to predict when to buy or to sell
usually the price rise before and after halving
so its better to buy some bitcoin before next halving or hold for next next halving for better gain

[Beerwizzard]

Just sell your BTC whenever you need to get some fiat money. Trying to predict the future exchange rate is a useless thing. You may sell your coins today but tomorrow BTC would gain extra 5%. And as the practice shows us on the long run it would still keep growing. The only 100% good moment to sell is the end of the trend when the asset would definitely stop growing. And trying to predict that moment is also a useless thing. SO just sell when you need.

I am more fan of HODL for this time of the market. Its obviously more profitable and less risky. All you have to do is to get in the car and ride until its time to sell it. On the other hand, if the market is down, we make other activities such as trading and bounties. Dont worry about other things. Cryptocurrency offers more opportunities than you expected.

No, I don't just hold, but I will sell bitcoin if I see a good price in the market and I can take some profit.
No need to wait for more to take the profit because we don't know if in the next hours, the bitcoin price will increase higher.
I never against the market, I only follow where the market moves.
That will make me can sell in any of price, but I will make sure that I can get the profit, that is my rule.
And if I cannot see the profit, then I will hold for a while.

[dothebeats]

For my first years (2014-2016) I usually hold and trade bitcoin/alts and join pump and dumps (not proud of it thoough) until I make a sizeable profit. After the first stages of the 2017 bull run, I made it to a point that I will focus more on buying and holding while keeping an eye out on my real life finances. Past forward 2019, I made quite a fortune by just buying and holding and tending to my own business. I know I would have made much more if I also traded but then again, it only puts stress and pressure on me so I think it wasn't really worth it to go as a full-time day trader.

[DrBitcoin]

2014 Veteran here.

I am a HODLER for the most part. You will NEVER time things well. Good example:

I bought 5 bitcoin back in 2014 for an average price of about $800.

Than came the MT gox crash and I saw the value go from $1200 all the way down to $200. I kept buying small
Amounts. And eventually just gave up. I waited YEARS and when the price finally hit $1000 again I said HALLELUJAH! I sold 2.5 BTC for $2500. I felt so smart, I finally recouped my principal.

Than, pretty quickly Bitcoin spiked to 20K. Ouch.

So, for the most part I HODL. Because bitcoin does what bitcoin does. Every so often a sell some, but it always goes back into the market. Usually in the form of altcoins.

I’m back up quite a bit, but not quite back to 5BTC again.

I only sell when I'm need of money or when price high, I don't sell all though just few for expenses etc.. Selling it out all will be a big mistake. I'm just waiting for a service that let's me spend Bitcoins directly so I don't have to go with converting bs.

[bitbunnny]

I'm with Bitcoin a long time, since 2013. From that period until now I have learned a lot and just because of such long time I know that different speculations and predictions are not worth waisting time.
There are no two identical situations and although it might look like the situation on the market is the same like some time before there are always differences and different circumstances.
In general, there is no receipe or cristal ball that will tell you when to sell or to hold. It depends on your preferences, experiences and knowledge so you have to learn on your own skin.

[cabron]

Why don't you just sell whenever you felt like you wanna sell. Maybe you can buy back later when the bear market is over and it may take more than a year just as it happened last 2018. It could happen again. I have to think of ways where to get my funds to buy back the tokens I have been holding since 2017 but for someone who had dumped their BTC during its ATH, you must have more funds.

[pawanjain]

You have posted in the wrong section mate. The right section for this thread would be speculation.

As for the OP, I have been in this community since 2015 and I have been through few bear markets.
Through my experience I can say that you can never tell when the next bear market would begin or the next trend change would occur.
Although there are a few facts that you can predict.

• The market will recover for sure sooner or later.
• Once the price has gone upwards for quite some time, it is surely going to fall down a little to make a correction.
• If the price is continuously going up for a long time then it is a bubble.

So you can expect to sell your coins when the market is going upwards for quite some time. We can't predict the exact time though.
It is something that we have to understand on our own.

There's nothing to learn actually, because, as you said it yourself, all situations are different.

So, OP, no one can advise you with certainty when to sell and when to buy. There are general rules though, which, I think,  worth following:

1. Don't invest in Bitcoin more than you can afford to lose;

2. Sell BTC only when you are in desperate need of money, and sell no more than for providing yourself/family for a week or two.

Those rules are for holders and not for traders, of course. Traders sell and buy BTC several times per day. That's a whole different story.

One thing you should ask yourself, do you believe in bitcoin and its blockchain technology? Do you see its value and its massive potential? If you do, and you are not much of a trader, then be just an investor and hodl.

Do you just always HODL? when do you know where to sell?

I HODL when the market is going down because I believe that bitcoin will always recover from it. It takes time but when it bounces back, the profit is multiple times your investment. But when the price is up and bullish, that is the time I take my profit. I sell when everyone else is buying because of hype or bullish trend. That is the time that bitcoin price is surging and I take that opportunity to cash out my profit.

When do you think the market is about to go down you sell and then getting back when you think it's recovering?

Even experts will sometimes miss when a market is going to turn around, especially in crypto. I do not sell because I expect the market to go down but I sell because I know I already have a profit. I do not get greedy and target the top of the market price but instead set my target profit and sell on that price. The same if the market is going down. I accumulate every time the price breaks support or goes down. I buy an exact an amount every time the price goes down.

[CryptoBry]

I have been observing and sometimes holding Bitcoin for almost three years now. Though we always feel that the best time to accumulate can be the time when the bull run was just showing some signs of coming, I think if we believe that this bull run can take us beyond the $20K then maybe the current $8,000 level is still a good stage to get as much as Bitcoin as we can. Of course, the problem is that nobody knows when this bull run will peak and when it will slide down to the bearish stage. So this is just a matter of feeling...that speculative gut you have inside and praying some luck along the way.

[Adriano2010]

I not hold always but sometimes people need to hold in my opinion if they want to make a good profit, even if try trade sometimes good traders can get a loss and is better always to hold some coins.

[siggy_77]

So.. as many have said, in various ways...  make a plan that works for you...

I'd just like to add....

1) When making the plan, take a step back from the hype and get emotions completely out of the picture.  The worst thing you can do is let FOMO wreck your long term planning.  If this means not reading the forums and not looking at the price for a week, so be it..

2) Get your plan documented.  Be that hand written notes, a spreadsheet, a word doc.. whatever, just get it down someplace.  If you don't have it documented,  its way to easy to make emotional trades due to hype, that in foresight, and/or hindsight you would not have done had you been completely rational.

3) This should go without saying but... FOLLOW THE PLAN.  Trust that your logical self had a clue when the plan was made.

4) Lastly, periodically review the plan and make sure it still makes sense.. update accordingly. DO NOT however, do this while you are feeling euphoria, dispair, or any variation of FOMO. 

TLDR:  Make trading decisions based on logic, not emotions.

[maxreish]

Do you just always HODL? when do you know where to sell?

Depends on what coins should I hold. Mostly, i do long term trades with bitcoin and ethereum only. But with some altcoins i do not hold them for so long. Instead, I day trade them. Bitcoin is worth to hold I assure you.

When do you think the market is about to go down you sell and then getting back when you think it's recovering?

Have you heard technical analysis, indicators or charts? If not, try reading this different indicators for you to know that there is a basis when the market goes down or goes up. It will truly help you in your trading. Learn, understand and apply it to further become.successful trader.

The best time to buy and hold is when the market has bottomed,  which has already gone, but it is still not too late to buy now because we are all believing that bitcoin will surely once again touch the last ATH price which is around $20,000, that is when we can now decide the next move of bitcoin, for now, we are still far from that value, so it is still kind of okay to buy now, although we might experience a little pull back for now, but I am sure we still have a lot of surge that will occur within the next few weeks.

If you buy now to continue to hold, it is still very good, or you could just use your fund to look for a little dip, buy and the sell to take profit, pending the time it become very clear that the market is fully on uptrend.

Yes I HODL, but not always. Although HODL involves low risk but If you have knowledge of market then it's better to use your skills in trading and earn instead of just HODL. There are lot of things you need to consider to check where the market is heading which includes market cap, volume, rate etc.
Although no one knows exactly what is going to happen but we can predict, and better predictions can be made with better knowledge and experience.

There are stories out there that make you look like a total success story/genius. But yeah, to say long time in the crypto world is any sort of gauge for success or wisdom is a total fallacy.

[rdluffy]

I'm here for some time to
I learned a lot, I gain money, I lost sometimes, I use to had a lot of mining hardware and IMO the best thing is: follow the trend, try to accumulate BTC and always be patient

I have a lot of BTC, but I spent the entire 2018 (in bear market) away from the market, being patient and waiting to better times to come

Do your research, read news, follow topics, devs and you will probably know what to do

Most decisions are based on experience. You can't just follow it even if you like.

The moment you decided to put money on crypto, providing you read some basics, you should put yourself on the actual trial to feel the pressure. No way you can just follow other people's preferences when they buy or sell. Their decision is purely based on their own analyzation. We have our own criteria when to execute buy and sell.

Tips? Like I said, prepare now to put yourself in the situation after reading basics. You will never understand all pointers if you don't face the actual pressure.

You can do it. Goodluck.

No prediction can be 100% accurate, unless by chance. But I agree with you that knowledge and experience matters in that regard. The more knowledge we have the better our predictions become. That's why we should not risk a lot in the very beginning. We should rather start little by little in order to gain knowledge and experience that can be very useful in the future. Even losing money is good when you learn something from it, but losing all your money can never be good.

For me HODL are for bag holders but for us that are just shrimps I guess its better to accumulate through trading, buying and earning more some BTC. There's no 100% prediction on the crypto market as it is volatile, moreover you can less some risks if you knew some analysis regarding price prediction base on it. The best tip is do learn more and fairly I say you'll earn more.

[Reid]

I have sold some but not to the extent of selling everything coz that is all my savings that I am keeping in bitcoin.

Look, if you are uncertain of what you will do then do not move forward.
Better to refresh yourself from what is happening in the crypto world. If some people gave you some tips, do not be follow them just like that. Better to doubt them at first and make your own knowledgeable digging.

Most of the users that are just listening to analyst just fails. Worse part is you wont chase them anymore for they have already ran far enough for you to not contact them.

So, be wise. Make those tips just help for analyzing the market.

You never sell. You buy and when price goes up you spend for things you did not afford in years you were buying.  I had not bought anything last year and probably will not buy anything significant this year. Next year we will see. Maybe or maybe not. 2021 will be for sure the year of spendings.

[The Sceptical Chymist]

No one can accurately tell you what is the best time to sell your assets since this market is extremely volatile and the prices can shift up and down in a matter of minutes.

OP, if you read nothing else in this thread, take heed of the above advice--it's the absolute truth.  Dips can turn out to be major crashes, dead cat bounces, or whatever.  If you plan on trading actively, you're going to have to deal with very unpredictable prices and a lot of frustration when they move in directions you didn't think they were going to.

I've been into crypto since 2015 and have learned that interest in bitcoin (and altcoins) waxes and wanes.  We just went through a long period where bitcoin wasn't moving much at all, and then all of a sudden it jumped a few thousand dollars.  The truth is that you never know when the best time is to buy any crypto.  I thought that during the flat months that it would be a good time to accumulate bitcoin, but I certainly wasn't sure of that.

The most important thing I've learned in the past 4 years is that bitcoin is still in its infancy, even though it's been around for 10 years.  It's going to be adopted like crazy by the younger generation, and I expect the price is going to rise dramatically over the next few years.  Altcoins will probably be along for the ride, too.  I've also become confident that while the market may crash from time to time, bitcoin is not going to die.  The interest in it is very strong, and I expect it's going to be even more widely adopted--I just don't know how soon.

Good luck with your trading career.  It's not easy, and it can be stressful.  Take a break if you find yourself pulling your hair out.

[The Cryptovator]

Do you just always HODL? when do you know where to sell?

Simple answer no, how could always HODL? For me, I sell when I get profit. How can hold a coin for lifetime? Who know about market trends? Basically I hold coin if in case dropped price more than bought price. I believe somedays it will recover and that case I am holder. Crypto-currency nature is pump dump so I sell when my bought coin price go up. And once dump again I take entry. That's my strategy.

[boyptc]

Do you just always HODL? when do you know where to sell?

Yes, I'm holding always but I don't know when to sell, I just sell when I think it's already enough for me.

When do you think the market is about to go down you sell and then getting back when you think it's recovering?

There's no specific means of measure for that, you study the market alone, make your own analysis, test that analysis you made and experience its accuracy.

I've been through the other major bear market between 2014-2016, like lots of others here.

Though my advice to you is probably going to be somewhat different. I'd say that unless you're a day trader by profession, there is really no point in trying to take advantage of intraday movements especially when you don't even have time to monitor the markets actively, nor have the knowledge of short term trends and charts (I'd say even I don't) to say comfortably that you're going to profit overall off your trades.

I always default back to analysing fundamentals and market sentiment, as opposed to concerning myself with short term stuff that just moves arbitrarily half the time. For example this upcoming bull market is likely going to be driven by institutional adoption which will spark further demand, and we're already seeing the start of it given that market sentiment is no longer as bearish as it was.

It doesn't mean that you don't sell and buy when the opportunities arise, and it's not purely 'hodling' per se, but I believe that focusing on bigger cycles will yield you more results in the long run, if you don't know what you're doing with intraday trading.

[palle11]

Do you just always HODL?

No and nobody knows the exact time that price will go up or down. If you are a new trader, is about experience because no one can tell you precisely but with your experience, both your mind and instinct will tell you what decision to take.

When do you think the market is about to go down you sell and then getting back when you think it's recovering?

I wasn’t around in 2011 but I traded the 2014 and 2018 bear markets. My strategy is always to hold most coins in cold storage and hedge short with leverage during strong downtrends. You can make money during bear markets but it’s much easier to make money during bull markets, partly because of the ridiculous money flow and partly because your cold storage coins are always accumulating value during bull markets.

I would never sell everything no matter what you do.....it’s always harder to reaccumulate than expected in my experience. During the bear I’m mostly just riding obvious trends to lightly hedge USD value and biding my time until the next bubble. Stacking coins best I can.....

I would like to get tips from people that are in the crypto world for a while and saw a few bear markets already.

I've seen the bear markets, and yes I must say it's disheartening to see your portfolio going down. But it is what it is, you don't need to panic specially if you are looking for the long haul. You just have to stay cool. I know it's hard in the beginning, but if you know how the market works then definitely you won't be bother by this bearish trend.

Do you just always HODL? when do you know where to sell?
When do you think the market is about to go down you sell and then getting back when you think it's recovering?

Of course, HODLing is one of the favorite strategy for those who doesn't want to trade. You need to have what we call entry and exit strategy, so you will know when to sell and exit. But then again, why you need to sell when at the back of your mind, you know that the price will go up in the future? Doesn't make sense, just saying.

Your account was created in 2017 meaning you are almost 2 years here yet asking about the dumping experiences?you are here when the hype happens in 2017 last quarter and you are also witnessed the dump and longest bear market in the crypto history in 2018 so that means awareness is in your account from there

I am Holding and I have my own timeline where to sell,at least 5 years from the time I first purchased my bitcoin and may took long with my altcoins and tokens sitting in my folio

[adaseb]

I've been around for a few years and its very difficult predicting the end of the bear market and the end of the bull market.

Back in Aug 2015 or so, when it broke that yearly resistance of $300 (or so) I assumed it would be a bull trap and head back down to the $200 area, it never did and confirmed the end of the bear market however I didn't buy at $300.

Same with the bull market end at $20K, I assumed $2K was the top, then $3K, then $5K, then was absolutely sure $10K was the top and even shorted there, then assumed $25K was the top and missed the target and had to sell on the way down at $10K.

[Indrawan77]

Nobody could know when the price is going up or down, the chart and trends could be indicators, but nothing could be precise 100%, to know when to buy is depend on your investment strategy, for short term maybe need to wait for the dip but if you want to aim for long term just buy it, the history show that bitcoin price is keep on going up every year

You need to do your own due diligence, you're are the only one who can make a good decision about when it will be the best time for you to buy or sell your cryptos.

If you want to know if $8.000 are the top and you will end up buying too expensive if you buy now, then I think most people will guess that the price of bitcoins, will go higher when we look one year into the future compared to today.
You can be lucky to find good altcoins with a lot of hype, that will moon in the next 12 months. But your main priority should be bitcoins.

[Kelvinid]

I really appreciate how crypto change my life when I started to join. I wasn't particularly doing trading cause I don't have such skills and I've found myself that trading isn't the right place for me.
Of what I've got in 2017 is really memorable, bounties are great that time which I usually participated before. I keep holding my alts and get profitable when the bullish came into us. But I don't think that have holdings today will give me a decent reward since my portfolio is going down. I blame myself why I didn't sell it last 2017. But seeing the market rallying now, it gives me hope for another chance.

[leowonderful]

I started trading crypto back in 2015 as well and it was extremely difficult predicting the bottom of the bear market we were in back then just like this time around, though at that time BTC was much more fragile than it is now IMO. There was a real fear that Bitcoin could simply just die out after hitting the late 2013 top, though I still went and bought as much as I could afford to spend back in 2015 between 200-300. Best thing you can really do is just dollar cost average considering how hard it is to predict bottoms if you're looking for longer term entries, and plan out exits and stick to them instead of searching for the very top and selling.

There's also nothing wrong with holding coins for long periods of time and waiting for prices to (hopefully) rise in the future. I mostly did that back in 2015-2017 when my trading skills were still weak, but swing trading or day trading can also be profitable. You'll just need to learn a new set of skills to be good at either of these styles of trading.

[BitHodler]

Same with the bull market end at $20K, I assumed $2K was the top, then $3K, then $5K, then was absolutely sure $10K was the top and even shorted there, then assumed $25K was the top and missed the target and had to sell on the way down at $10K.

If you sold at $10k you have still done a whole lot better than most people here who firmly held their coins all the way to last year's bottom. People can say they don't mind as much as they want, but they do mind it.

The only reason they kept holding was because at every round price level on the way down they assumed it was the bottom, and they were wrong time on time again. People severely underestimated how irrational this market can be.

It's so hard to be satisfied with your profits when you see the price keeps going up, but we have to deal with it. There is no way for us to perfectly time the market, so just be happy that you made profit to begin with.

[beerlover]

Bitcoin is a currency, I have been around for over 6 years now and I have been doing the same thing for the past decade about any investment I have ever done, not just bitcoin but all of my investments ever. I buy and I hold until I need money. People who get a loan or line of credit whenever they need money are usually people who will have to pay a lot of debt for long periods of time, so instead of getting a loan and crippling my own economy for certain period I cash out my investments.

So, basically I keep my bitcoins (and all altcoins) on my wallet as long as I can without cashing out but if you ever need money for something that it makes sense to cash it out, never cash out for price drops, never cash out for volatile movements, they will always happen, only cash out when you have life urgency stuff that you need money for.

[Distinctin]

Nice question, therefore I would give my honest answer here.

Yes, I am still holding, I am here during the last bull run, was not able to unload all but only manage to sell some.
Then... correction happened, I never sold that time then, I just hold and until now, so the last bull run I sold some, this time
around if we are lucky to experience it again, I might sell a lot to make a lot of profit. Then enjoy my life while possibly another correction would come.

Experienced people or who have been here for a long time doesn't really have that kind of ability on knowing things on what would happen ahead.
Some people do might see several bearish and bullish runs but it doesn't mean that they do able to know on what would happen.Just like a typical
investor or trader,they do still keep speculating on what would be the next price move.

[Shinpako09]

Speculation, meaning forming of theory or conjecture without firm evidence. Obviously, even pro don't exactly know what were going to happen. It's their experience lead them into success. There's no one can predict accurately so why become uncertain because of others speculation. Do you think pro depend/rely on others speculation, of course not they are doing their own speculation.

As far as i am seeing, i can see that,  the ones posted above are experienced ones to whom you are looking for.
Yeah there are also some who don't seemed to me somehow experienced.
Lets leave them. I am here to clear your query and suggest you my opinion on that.
So first of all never loose confidence on yourself.
If the price of the coin falls down rapidly then just don't be panic.
Think in a cool mind and i am sure you gonna overcome it.
Hope you understand now.

[Dart18]

I just HODl.
No one could answer what you are asking.
That is beyond our knowledge. We cannot see our future but we could somehow make some good analyzation and then maybe we could go right.
It is said to be a speculation but for me it is more of a guess.
More like gambling but can have a better percentage for a bet to go right.

Well... I have more than two years of experience in the world of cryptocurrency. First started investing in BTC when the exchange rate was $900 per coin (2017 January) and the ATH has reached before my own eyes ($20,000 per coin by 2017 December). After that, I witnessed the bear rally, which took the prices from 20K to 3K by the end of 2018.

I would say that you need to sell your coins at regular intervals during a bull rally. If you feel that the price is going up, then it is the best time to sell some of your coins. And I have never sold any of my coins during the bear phase.

Predicting when the market is going to go up or down is something really difficult to do, you may try to do it but most fail and the few that get it right most of the time were just fortune to get their predictions right, but that does not mean you cannot get profits with your trades but you need to find a strategy that works for you and that is not easy to do in such a volatile market.

Always holding is a good sign of being a strong hand that we must have, I personally don't spend my crypto asset with a nonsense thing or converting it just for having fun with friends. When you are planning to sell bro just make it sure that your profit was there including the capital you had. At least you will know of cutting your profit. When the market goes down, just hold your belt if you are not satisfied with your investment and let the time speak when it grows.

[STT]

People always predict specific prices when it would be easier to look at the population of users or at least the activity and trend of usage.   If there is growth its likely to result in a bullish price.

The reason we got 100 or 300 or 1000 or any price wrong is that at the time that was the correct price possibly.   However when population of users rises it likely means the price is adjusting also.   I would look at many factors not just a price graph or its easy to be incorrect like only looking at your feet when walking, look around for perspective vs the price as well I think is going to improve accuracy

Speculations are just speculations, they can happen and and they can’t too. As you watch how the market moves you know if you are going to profit if you sell it now or later depending on the money you took out for your holdings. For those who bought theirs above $10k they know it is not wise for them to sell them right now. Depending on your need too, if you don’t it too bad right now, let it sleep in your wallet and wait.

I can 100% relate, $3k was the top then, then $5k, then EVERYONE was certain $10k was, then we blew past it to $20k, and then people were screaming for $30k.

Ill say this, if we see a 50% re-tracement, that is your sell signal. Dont hold your bags in denial, like many including myself did. Its a brutal market, the people who sold at $2k, and $3k kicked themselves, the people who didnt sell at $20k or $10k or even $6k kicked themselves to. Its hard to win, at the end of the day you want to walk out with more than you walked in with.

My biggest fear is that in the next rally we see Bitcoin reach $100k, but then run up to lets say$500k, when do you sell? You don't know, but you should sell slowly on the way up.

I usually hold, but what be my mistake is too happy when price movement 100% from current price. Like when it is around $200-$300 then it is up to $600, in past i not expected that it will be increased a lot.

No problem with that because you can always try to do the same thing again when the price is down and up then. Maybe you are too happy, so you miss something from your analysis and sell in a rush but then the price increases more than the price you expect. You can do again in the future, and I am sure you will get another profit.

[exstasie]

If you've experienced a Bitcoin bubble before then you should already know: don't sell at $100K. We're going much higher. The difference may not seem huge in % terms, but extrapolating based on past cycles puts us in the $200K-$500K range in the next bubble. I wouldn't be caught dead selling long term coins for less than $200K.

If the last few years has taught me anything, it's this: buying your coins back (where you want to) is always tougher than expected. If you sell at $100K, you might find that's the ultimate bottom range of the next bear market, which would represent a lot of opportunity lost.

I used to make fun of perma bulls, but TBH they've got the right idea. The goal here is to gain coins, not lose them. In the long run (next 5-20 years), nothing is going to hurt worse than selling too early and not buying back soon enough.

One of the factors should be looked about when it comes on predicting prices not only focusing on a single sort but you should look at on the possible angles which
would give out that kind of perspective.
Long time experience with this market will give out those kind of insights for you to look at but it doesnt mean it will give out higher accuracy anytime.

Of course yes some cryptocians are hodling their funds because some of people now are observing the market because they want to assure if bull run really continues to move up. And I think traders and investors are more wiser now that before.

Yes i am too hapy, because i never think bitcoin can jump like that. Even with $1000 i already very happy. In january 2015 (if me not wrong) my dip  of bitcoin price. Don't really  know how much it is approx in USD but it is  if compared with usd now like around $150.

You do bring up good points however, losing those coins is tough to, as excited as I am for this, its nerve-racking at the same time. Bitcoin went from $8000 to $20k in a matter of three weeks, that three week window is the window you wait years and year for to sell. Have to time it right.

Bitcoin went from $8000 to $20k in a matter of three weeks, that three week window is the window you wait years and year for to sell. Have to time it right.

I think your approach is sensible enough. I guess deep down, there are two things that keep me from ever liquidating everything. I have a few coins tucked away that I have zero plans to sell for the foreseeable future.

First, I'm worried the log cycle trend is getting too obvious. When everyone sees the same thing, the market usually throws a curve ball. $300K is a pretty perfect guess extrapolating from past cycles. What I'm worried about is an S-curve scenario where we go straight to $10 million or something crazy like that next time around.

Second, there's the inherent instability of fiat currencies. I'm not a hardcore "the end is coming tomorrow" type, but I do think at some point fiat currencies will start experiencing crises in confidence and even outright collapse. Depending when that happens (could be decades from now), I think we'll see lots of value flow into hard money like gold and Bitcoin. I don't want to be holding all USD in that situation. I want to be at least somewhat diversified if shit ever hits the fan.

[gentlemand]

I never ever ever expected the price to hit $160 well over a year after it hit its ATH. Similarly I never, ever expected $20,000 before the end of the decade. Thusly attempting to time anything would've been a total disaster for me.

This forum is littered with casualties who thought they knew what they were doing when it came to timing the market. I prefer to set a price and sell when it hits it no matter how long it takes and no matter what the market is doing at the time. Had I gone the other way I'd probably have a fraction of the coins I have now.

That is an action of a smart investors, we don't have to change our mind because we got hype on the present market situation, if there is an opportunity to sell, we should do it, greediness will never bring benefits to us, because we could miss this good opportunity to sell and might regret it when correction starts.

Simply hodling is advisable if you dont really know on what to do in your holdings.Selling in hype or some news would really be beneficial if you do know how
to utilize such event yet this market is hyper reactive when it comes to fuds or news that came out from nowhere.

Hi there
I would like to get tips from people that are in the crypto world for a while and saw a few bear markets already.
There is so much speculation right now and It makes me be uncertain about my moves (buying and selling)

Do you just always HODL? when do you know where to sell?
When do you think the market is about to go down you sell and then getting back when you think it's recovering?

Well some of cryptocians buy when it's dip and sold it when they the price market is good to sell. Like 2018 that almost of us are losing what we hodl because of bear market but now that bull run is here we can back what we lose. You can recover what you lose we just need a little patience and observe.

Maybe I haven't joined the cryptocurenncy for too long but I have done some activities in the cryptocurenncy world starting from trading until looking for a gift like now, in trading I rarely hold my coins to buy, I immediately release the coin if I start raising  , and in terms of coins or tokens that I get from the gift I often detain my coins

I think if your life is just trading and becoming a participant of bounty campaign and airdrop, then your activities in the world of cryptocurrency are still very little, you can say that there are very many cryptocurrency activities when you have developed a cryptocurrency or are speakers about cryptocurrency at several meetings who have many participants.

I have been here for years and I have experienced a lot of ups and downs in the market. Upon investing, you should set a target goal, keep on holding until you reach that target profit.
After all, it's you who could answer when is the right time to buy and when to sell, as long as you're gaining a good profit.

Since when we started invest we all had experience that there is always a changing time. If you want profit just patience enough until it can recover your investment, there you will know when is the right time to decide.

Since 2018, I'm on a long position because i have a money management strategy. A few weeks ago I'm already selling my asset around 20-30% from my portfolio, you need to know how strong your fundamental, psychology & emotional of course you have enough money for your financial. I'm selling my portfolio it's based on my speculation & stop target.

I can say that I have been here long enough. The 2018 bear market was my first and probably the longest for me. And my tip for you is just to HODL. I just come to a realization of what huge mistake I have done when the market started to rally. But I don't have any source of income so I decided to sell 80% of my port in January.

Speculations are just speculations, they can happen and and they can’t too. As you watch how the market moves you know if you are going to profit if you sell it now or later depending on the money you took out for your holdings. For those who bought theirs above $10k they know it is not wise for them to sell them right now. Depending on your need too, if you don’t it too bad right now, let it sleep in your wallet and wait.

This is something many traders forget or never fully get, they speculate about which direction the price is going to take, and while there is nothing wrong with that, as soon as they make a prediction they think it must happen even when all the evidence points against it, it is my opinion that the ego of most traders is why they hold their positions for too long thinking the market will eventually fulfil their predictions.

[Ridwan Fauzi]

When the market has met a crash in 2017 ago I only thought that long term investment is not suitble anymore. Actually I bought bitcoin in August 2017 ago and I had an insist to hold it until the end of 2018 whilst I had got profit at that time. My greedy was fooled me and I thrown away to feel a deep loss, so I don't believe long term investment as long as my money back again. I only use day trading or short term investment at this time because for me it is way is really safe.

In short, you are have short term goals. Usually short term goals had low profit conpare to long term holder but it is also safer thab long term holder. There are many user of this kind so if you can check the bitcoin market price volatility then bitcoin or cryptocurrency has higher volatility compare to stock market exchange.

[Irviyandi]

Maybe I haven't been in this forum for too long but I have a little experience that I will share with you about the coins we get, I don't always hold the coins that I have because sometimes the coins we have have a rather large price when we just get the coin  , with that I have no thoughts at all to hold the coin and if I have a low price I might hold it back

All your questions can be answered with technical analysis, people could give you the answers that you are looking for but then you will become dependent on them about what to do with your money and that is never a good thing, so my recommendation is that you begin to read some books and watch some videos about the subject and when you do then you will have all the answers to your questions.

And the best part is that you will be able to make your own predictions and you will not depend on the news or anyone else to make money in the market, that is not only great for you economically but it is also good for you when it comes to give you the confidence needed to take your own decisions in this market.

Of course that is a harm thing that will be faced, so I can say there is nothing special about participating in the bounty campaign, but I will be flattered when a bounty hunter can make a positive contribution to this forum, not be fixated on the payment he will get.

[BY_ATOM]

Listen to me. There is nothing more valuable than your experience. All the tips are good, but only the method of trial and error will be able to bring results and work out a strategy. Try to trade, after reading the news about the selected coins, and anticipate their future ... Try yourself as a bounty hunter, maybe this is your vocation. This is the safest way to try yourself in the crypto world.

   I am not always hold. I am collecting actually and cash out by little when I'm short with money. As you may understand in such cases the price of bitcoin on a moment doesn't play any big role.

Bounty hunter would really have that kind of sole purpose and don't expect for that having positive contribution yet they are just advertisers or promotors of such project.
Worker or solely an investors would really definitely face up bumpy road on this crypto career which I do say an inevitable things to be faced on.

When I first learned about Bitcoin in January 2013 it was worth about $15. By the time I'd thoroughly researched it and knew it wasn't a scam (about a month later), it was worth about $30. By the time I was actually able to obtain some, it was worth $68. When it became worth more than $200 in early April, I was ecstatic.

Then it suddenly crashed from $266 all the way down to $50 as I watched horrified. I didn't panic though. I'd studied Bitcoin history and knew about its recovery from previous crashes, from $0.10 down to $0.01 in 2010 and from $32 down yo $2 in 2011. I felt sure it would recover again and bought more while the price was still in double digits. I continued to buy, never selling, while I accumulated a Bitcoin stash.

Sure enough, later that year we had another "bubble" all the way up past $1k. Then it crashed, leading Gamehuobi to make his historic "hodling" post to the wall observer thread. Once again I didn't panic. I continued to buy when I could on the dips, accumulating and never selling. The day it bottomed out in mid-January 2015 was the last time I bought over 10 coins in a single day.

I didn't have to sell any coins until early 2018 when I sold less than a coin at about $21kCAD/BTC to buy a house and property in Mexico. Since then I've sold a few more coins to buy 2 more Mexican properties, upgrades to my house, and a set of dental implants and zirconia teeth.

I never sold Bitcoin because of the price. I have no desire to hold a bunch of dollars. I only part with my bitcoins to obtain specific goods and services.

I laugh when I read about people "taking profits" by selling bitcoins. Why would anyone want to keep their wealth in depreciating dollars instead of appreciating Bitcoin? By all means, diversify your assets by converting some to real estate, lifestyle improvements, art, business ventures (and I don't mean stock shares, mutual funds, etc.) or other worthwhile investments. Just don't waste your precious bitcoins by spending them to buy fiat currencies.

Bitcoin has been very good to me. Sure, I made some mistakes. The biggest was to leave coins on an online exchange. That cost me 50 coins when MtGox  imploded months after I'd been trying to withdraw them. Never again. It's paper wallets only for me. Never will I expose my coins to the internet except for the brief time they're on my device between sweeping a paper wallet and transferring them elsewhere.

You want my advice? Don't trade, hold. Trading is a sucker's game. Holding requires patience but is far more likely to make you rich.

[ukloon]

It depends on how frequently you are able to check the prices and execute a trade. If you're a part time trader then the easy choice is to buy lots of litecoins and hodl until the halving. After that switch to bitcoin and wait for that to halve next year

Long term strategy is good. Maybe this suggestion will work on investor that not really think about daily price because focus on halving only is safe way to do. If me i will prefer do that thing then i can do anything else to earn money while waiting.

There are a lot of strategies. The main thing to decide for yourself, what do you want? And only after that already try. If you do not set certain goals, the time and money will be wasted....

In this case you need a target so that you have a goal that requires you to remain consistent in what has become a target for trading or just to hold for a long time. If your confidence is strong during that period, then at least what you do has good potential in the end. So, to do this always makes research before starting the most important thing in this case so that your struggle as long as it has the expected results.

That's really a good plan to make profit being on the safer side without experiencing any risk. Even when coins get listed to top exchanges there will be good price move with the respective coin. In such a way the growth with Litecoins and bitcoin on halving is promising. For users with good amount of fund for investment and to stay away from risk above mentioned is the right choice.

[marcbitcoins]

I joined Crypto currency investments last 4Q of 2017 in which i experienced to earned more than enough on that time but still there are many Altcoins at my disposal because of keep on holding in which they lost their high values during bearish trend. Cryto currency investment is very risky because of the price is really unpredictable that is why holding of assets is not really recommended but will always depend of the coins characteristics that people will be attracted to invest.

[Novita]

I honestly started looking for bitcoin 2013 and in 2014 I started giving up until finally I got nothing. but when bitcoin soared in 2017 I started again. from that I thought not to procrastinate anymore. because in my opinion there is more even though a little is important don't give up.

Actually mate, you're the one who can answer your hesitation in crypto. You can do your own by buying and selling your coin in a right timing through take experience by doing trading in any crypto exchanges. And now if you haven't yet understand in crypto world, better for you to stay invest in long term, while you still keep gsther info with regards crypto.

[jrrsparkles]

If OP failed to hold the coins will regret about it now because the prices are going upwards continuously and reaching new high like what happened in 2017,we can't hold it forever but we need to hold it as long as we can to make more profits.

Lesson learned. You have found a gem earlier than most of the people here but you let the opportunity pass and slip in your hands.

Though many things had happened for the past few years, believe me we are still early adopters.

When the market is down and continues to dump. All we.can do is to HODL even if we are afraid of losing the opportunity to.profit  because cryptocurrency market is unpredictable and when we.think of losing the more we get panicking  so better to forgot about the.prices for a while and just continue with holding beause in time kr future you.might be shocked that market already recovered and you holding is triple already

It seems to me that in 5 years, many will look at bitcoin and think why I did not dare then to make a contribution to the cryptocurrency. And those who took the risk will be delighted... So I would risk and buy or earn cryptocurrency right now.

Missing out golden opportunities or chances are inevitable that's why we should not stress out or do blame ourselves because

there are things which aren't really meant for us but it doesn't mean that we should completely limit or stop on what are we currently
involved on.If we do see that theres still a potential then risking something is depending on your choice.

  I think many people here are long enough and manage to control its deliberation on how to deal and gain accumulate profits. But some are new and illeterated about its system on hiw to work it out and surpass without loses. Through our motivation and eagerness we can create sensible strategy that may give enormous profits.

Right, holder is for champion.   But not must every people who want to sell their coins is weak. I mean, they might be have any reason why sell their coins and it is their option. But sometime it is right, if holding need a lot of courage.

Everyone should develop their own strategy. If everyone follows only one strategy, then what's the point? The whole point is that the Cryptocurrency is not dependent, all participants are not dependent, decisions and strategies have their own, someone they are correct, someone has minor flaws, someone they fail. That's what I like cryptocurrency, I'm free in my decisions and actions!

[Wilhelm]

HODLing since 2013  

I can roughly predict the top and bottom after years of living through it.
If everyone is buying and price rises 40% in a week you got to run for the door.
If everyone is negative and there have been at least 4 mega >10% drop After the price is lower than half of the  ATH then buy.

The market now is strong cotinously to grow and i think we can say that this time we recover to the bear season. But we dont have any assurance what will be the market goes so much be observer to this hype.

[brokedummy]

I sold too early on the last bull run and never got to buy the coins back. I've got half the coins but none of my own money at risk. Now that I've worked off the initial investment risk and hold free coins I think I'll just hodl for a few cycles. Maybe sell just a portion if I really think it's the top for the cycle. I haven't sold any since 16k and even then I only sold enough to let me live comfortably for the year. Around 1/3 my annual salary in fiat profit at that time. Didn't buy the coins back because I'm a dummy and was waiting to get closer to my other earlier dumb sells. I've got 100 oz of silver bought for .8 btc ugh...

[BUK2016]

Being here for a long time may not necessarily mean such a person is a trader that can advise you what you are do with your investment plan. I will advise you that you should sell when people are greedy to buy particularly when prices are going in an upward direction.

Everything we have in mind is just purely based on speculation, we can ensure profit but we do research to ensure our decision is well thought of.
Our experience also is very helpful, experience and knowledge in the market combine gives better chance of predicting the future prices.

I agree with you that failures that have already occurred will be a passion for success. I have known bitcoin for a long time and never thought that the price would be this high. I was only a spectator at that time because I was not sure of the crypto currency.
But now  changes and believes that crypto currencies can be a field of income if managed properly because the evidence of success already exists and they can succeed with the profession of crypto traders.

I hope that you didn't get into the market when we were in all time high.
If you ask me, I am here since mid 2018 and I am for a long term investment. I have faith for that and I keep accumulating crypto until I reach my personal goal of an amount that would be possible to be invested somewhere else.
