What make people panic sell?

[peter0425]

Panic selling usually occurs because there is no planning, most people invest and hope for an instant profit without any analysis or opportunity to lose, so when they see the price drop, they panic and think there is no hope for a return, they panic and sell at a loss.

Not only because there are no plans instead it is the behavior itself of the people who invested , meaning if the person involve will Buy now and expect some increase in time and then the market go sideways?
then this will be the end of their investment and will sadly sell all the coin and Boom all of them are loser.
Panic is the stupidest way in crypto investing so best to not invest at all if you cannot fight the panicking .

Right. someone who has been in the world of crypto trading for a long time and believes in the fundamentals of bitcoin, when the bitcoin price drops they take advantage of the moment according to their risk profile. even the moment of a bitcoin price correction can be considered as a discount to enter the market and buy bitcoin at a lower price.

those who already have faith in Bitcoin, have the attitude of buying in a bear market and selling in a bull market. while beginners who have just entered the crypto market will definitely buy when it's bullish because of FOMO and sell when it's a bear market. profit in bitcoin when trading is not difficult as long as you understand the rules = don't sell when bear market come.

Right. I agree with you that in the bitcoin trading system we can get the maximum profit possible while minimizing the risk as long as we understand the rules. For experienced investors, the fact that prices go up or down can actually still be profitable as long as they choose the right strategy, even when the market is red, they can still make a profit.

I don't quite agree with you, an investor doesn't make money when the market is red, but loses like all other investors. The best he can do to minimise his losses is to buy more assets at lower prices in order to sell them at a higher price in the future. In a red market, traders who bet on the downside know how to make money. Because of such traders, we often see spikes on the chart which indicate that someone is trying to knock traders out of position.

What about those investors of new coins? Some of them earn something before the coins turns into a scam. They are just lucky although they cant be like that forever. There are times that they also lose. What we need here to become more profitable is not just to predict based on pure luck but to predict with some analysis.

Not only by chance but the market always bounce back but only for those coins that are already proven but for the majority of new coins, the chance for them to bounce back is less. If you hodl them, no need to think hard if you will going to continue hodling them or not but the best thing that you can do is to sell them early.

You said it right, and that's why a lot of newbies come around thinking that they can have that same fate with others who made a good profits investing with new projects. But likewise, it's not every entry that they'll make will earn them profits. Luck may not be at their side on the next following attempts that they'll going to try.

And the sad thing, that second try they'll Yolo their investment only to find out that the project will turn to scam before
entering the market, no chance to recover.

Better to analyze and go deeper from each asset that you are eyeing to invest.

DCA on what you mean but to think that not all would really be having that finances on making such step and others that do affect such decision is that you would really hesitating because you are afraid.
Panic sell is something that a very common scenario to happen because of these unpredictable prices movement which is one of the main biggest factor on why we do commit
these kind of mistakes but as the time you do make out some experience then you wont really be able to panic just the same when you are still a newbie.

As investors, we must understand the types of investments we have, as we know that bitcoin and cryptocurrencies are very volatile types of investments, so without understanding prices that can be sharply corrected, we will panic, and another thing is to always make long-term profit targets, if we can make targets for the long term so whatever happens with bitcoin is normal and will not make us panic.

There soulnd't be any sale presure given the history that we see Bitcoin only going up in value

Everyone has different knowledge in crypto trading, among them they are easily influenced by FUD so they conclude they sell before the price drops, but for us it holds for the long term and Bitcoin history has never experienced losses except for those who doubt it.

FUD is inevitable, even those who has been here in crypto space for long enough is also going to ride with the FUD. Nevertheless, not all of those who FUD didn't make a profit.
Bitcoin has experienced losses especially during bearish season. Losses individually occurs only when you sell during correction trying to cut further possible losses in portfolio, and that's also called panic selling.

[fara_buduk]

the main problem that causes panic is the downturn and the issue is growing but basically for the incumbents making a sale is a necessity that everyone will go through that hard time so sell regardless of price and loss

Not only about knowledge, but people are also panicking because they don't want to hold for a long time. Some people only want to hold temporarily, they have planned to sell their current coins/tokens during the bullish trend. They want fresh funds to buy again many tokens/coins when the bearish season happens in the future. But for people who want to hold for a long time, prefer to be calmer and not panic although there is a big crash or correction. They know the Bullrun will return along with the next halving schedule.

Bitcoin price can change at anytime to cause panic to investors but is an advisable to investors to always make target for long term which will really help them to achieve a huge amount of profits from their investment. Bitcoin price always developed two attitude which are falling and rising, which are very important for both short term investors and long term investors to note in their investment. whenever the price of bitcoin is falling in the market,it make people to be panic not to sell than to hold for the price to increase higher before they can sell to make a good profit. But whenever the price of bitcoin is rising,it make people to use the opportunity to make a good profit from the market.

I experienced panic selling when i was a newbie and i think newbie do panic selling because of great fear of loosing the capital or maybe they are not ready to loss, many people loss because they are afraid of loosing and if you afraid to loss you will surely loss fucos on youre crypto investment. I am sure most of the people here experience panic selling because even expert is also begin as a newbie.

The fear that the price of Bitcoin has not shown any signs of recovery has caused investors to fall into a state of anxiety, even panic, and seek to sell off.  But I will not sell but wait for the next rally, If selling now means bigger loss.

[Dhaniii]

Panic selling does not have to happen to beginners but can happen to experienced people, panic selling can happen but the concept is different. a beginner occurs because of fear of losing assets, loses invested capital even though the decline is only fake, while experienced people panic sell when they get a strong signal that the market is experiencing a sharp decline in the next few hours.

In my opinion the main factor that makes investors panic is not a clear plan, they only focus and think can be a big profit in the short term so when viewing the market that is red then they panic, even they immediately sell despite losses, and other factors are FUDs that originate from official sources such as Banned from a particular country.

One of the reasons why investors panic when market conditions are declining, but another reason cannot be separated from the investment concept they apply not based on coin compatibility, for example certain coins are not worth investing in in the long term or short term, so forcing investment is not an investment. in part, while official sources from a particular country can be predicted before starting the investment

We saw the past from $10 to 60k is going up and up. So it sure it will reach $500k next destination.
But why the hell people panic sell now after it reach this high amount?
Do people really still think it goes to 0?

Investors know that btc will not fall into zero value and the people who do panic selling is maybe a newbie, most of the expert investors did not sell at loss if they sell huge amount maybe they invest it in a low price and they already have earnings that is why they sell. Most of the new investors always afraid of losing so i think it is the newbie who do panic selling.

[Bitcoin2009]

I think the biggest factor that causes panic selling is the large number of FUDs, currently too many FUDs say that crypto will end because of many cases, even I have heard news that there are companies that finance to disrupt blockchain systems or create programs that can guess private keys from address, if that happens of course crypto will end.

[19Nov16]

The price of bitcoin which is very fluctuating makes anyone will easily panic when I see the price, when I am still a newbie and see the price of drops more than 5% when I panicked, then I searched for information about the future of Bitcoin prices and most sites provide bad predictions (FUDS) So that makes me immediately sell in a loss condition.

Well, it's just a conspiracy theory about decoding the private keys from that address. It's impossible to happen and even I've heard that super/quantum computers would that.

If it can, AFAIK, there are already in existence.

But I haven't seen any of them successful crack a private key from just looking at the public key/address.
