What make people panic sell?

[Dean2]

Not all people trade with money they afford to lose so when the market turns red for those people they panic sell because they don't want to lose their savings,and it also unleash a selling chain reaction  which dumps the price even more.

[Fredomago]

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.

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.

Something that newcomers will bite on but for investors and those traders who already in this market earlier they won't take that and they will treat things as normal, we have seen same patterns and for experienced traders, they will just ignore this situation and continue moving forward, to the point that they will add more into their wallet making sure that once the market start to pump, they earned a decent amount of benefits.

Panic selling is not new, fears will always be your enemy from this kind of investment. Overcoming that fear will establish your confidence in doing your decisions on a rough road like this.

It would be always part of the cycle on which people who are experienced would really be seeing opportunities rather than on making themselves panic on declining or reducing prices.
For noobs then they would normally freak out since they dont have sufficient experience in the market which its normal to have those kind of reactions since you dont have
idea on whats going on or on how this market works but on the  time that you are already aware on how thing works and how it do behaves then you would be included
into those people who are experience and fully aware and do knows on what to do on these particular times.

Panic selling is just the representation of selling out of fear. This happens when the price of bitcoin drops down. Right now the market isn't dropping big, there is good fluctuation that can be used by the traders to make profit. The price that was down to $38k have now bounced back reaching close around $40k. So, people needs to watch the market carefully to make profit than ending up with losses out of panic.

[Joshapat]

Panic is a common thing because investors hope that big profits in a short time, as we know that Bitcoin price fluctuations are very high and if we want a big profit then the best thing that can be done is to hold for the long term.

[AjithBtc]

Compared to the past nowadays the panic selling is quite low. In the past whenever there is a market crash people tend to sell fearing that the market might not bounce back. Now situation is different, everyone believe in the growth of bitcoin and the same reflects in their holding of bitcoin. In the past most of the time Whales play in the market with rumours and people easily believe and fall for it. Nowadays everyone try to analyse the real reason before making a move. So, the panic selling is very low these days.

[Rockstarguy]

Sometimes what makes people panic and sell is when they buy at an higher rate, and the market price drops they become panic and get nervous thinking that it may go dip again,  and if it happens it may wipe everything they have with them. It is important to try to understand when buying cryptocurrency if the amount of the coin is okay for the market price even if it goes dip.

[Fredomago]

It would be always part of the cycle on which people who are experienced would really be seeing opportunities rather than on making themselves panic on declining or reducing prices.

It's a great time to invest into something that you believe will bounce back and bring you a decent amount of profits, experienced traders will always look for better ways instead of riding with those panic sellers, they will continue to buy little by little while the price still cheap and have a great chance of making a good amount of benefits.

For noobs then they would normally freak out since they dont have sufficient experience in the market which its normal to have those kind of reactions since you dont have
idea on whats going on or on how this market works but on the  time that you are already aware on how thing works and how it do behaves then you would be included
into those people who are experience and fully aware and do knows on what to do on these particular times.

Newbies always take this as a bad experienced but there are some who take this challenge and try to work harder to learn the right
process of investing into this business.

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.

Isn't it unfortunate that people sell bitcoin when its price is very low. I believe that once the price of bitcoin is high people should sell them if they want to get profit but they do not sell at high prices. What's the point in selling bitcoin at low prices when the chances of bitcoin going up is more as compared to dumping more ?

[Sir Legend]

The dominance of FUDs is more than positive news about bitcoin, when investors make profits they are mostly silent, but when they lose they will give a negative impression and spread FUDs, this is normal and it seems that if we have known bitcoin for at least 2 years then we are used to it. FUDs and only sell bitcoins when we need money.

This is something that was out of sync from the start. when they trade in crypto but can't see any loss in their money it's clear that something is quite wrong.
we know here we are full of risks when we are not ready to face these risks why should we force ourselves? one of the things that makes us comfortable here is of course the advantages but the problem when we are here is not only the advantages we have but we have to look at the worst aspects in this case losses.
don't expect more every time you want to get a profit because this is one of continuity where if there is profit and gain there will also be loss

[Semar Mesem]

Seeing the market which has continued to drop in the past 2 days I'm sure many panicked and sold even though they lost, this is a tough challenge for us, the number of FUDs that continue to spread on social media makes many people afraid, even now anti-crypto groups are growing and they advertise on social media. a lot of media that makes investors panic.

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.

Right. I agree with you that a novice investor often experiences panic selling or is afraid when the cryptocurrency price trend is down. Of course, this is reasonable considering the experience of buying and selling crypto assets which are still relatively new for them. In addition, a beginner also does not understand the concept of high-risk high return. This is what keeps them stuck with cryptocurrency price fluctuations.

Beginners who buy bitcoin at $40k+ see a drop below $30k. For them, this phenomenon is new and incomprehensible. Also, they still don't have the realization that this phenomenon is temporary and the market will recover, moreover, each time updating the indicators. Just need to be patient and not panic, and this requires experience and knowledge. Where can newbies get them? Benefit from the rich experience and knowledge of crypto community in this forum. But as it usually happens, newcomers, seeing the hype of the price increase by bitcoin, quickly buy it, completely forgetting about the importance of knowledge and the desire to receive it.

For some reason, it seems to me that NOT beginners don't panic at all now. The current fall of the market is not new to them and is the most common periodic and cyclical phenomenon. All the panic comes only from new investors.

Right, most novice investors will panic easily when I see a change in price of more than 5%, when I trade in 2014 in Polononiex and see high price movements make me panic and sell with loss conditions, especially novice investors who invest with large grades, of course easy to panic.

Emotions. It's what happens when you trade with money you need.

The other factor is probably "leveraged positions" with too little beef to pull through...

Poorly chosen stop loss in a highly volatile market..

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.

Indeed, not all investors have the same goal when the market is red. There are typical investors who still want to get profits in a short time with minimal risk. With the sluggish market conditions, the short strategy can be a solution for investors who still want to make profits even though the market is red.

Perhaps short-term investing could be called a game of one-armed bandit, where you either get lucky or turn into a long-term investor, although all you wanted was to make a quick profit. Catching red knives is even more dangerous than just investing and waiting, because if you panic, you will probably make a mistake and lose your money.

If investors do not set a target selling price, when a price decline occurs, they will immediately panic, this is natural because without preparation and risk analysis, we will go with the flow, easily believe in FUDs and of course make us regret losing and it may be difficult to forget the moment of loss.

What makes investors to panic during investment because investors our own target is to make profit and if profit is mermaid they will think that the market is against their wishes and again what causes markets to be wrong for investor is wrong prediction over investment, and  when they introduce wrongly they will feel that market is no longer profitable or benefit for them so that is what happened two new investors
