are we going to have "fear" months?

[Kasabus]

Is this month is a time of fear for you just because we drift sideways to negative then sure we will have this fear.  Overall Bitcoin has been quite steady even while retracting in its gains, its still risen over 6 months, over a year and anything but this near term disappoint its been fine.  I would call it more dismal then anything more dramatic.

It's pretty subjective to say though, for some I am pretty that they're probably going to see it as an opportunity to buy at a lower price but given how not everyone thinks this way and only a few see this kind of months as an opportunity, I would still agree that fear months are real. For me it's the opposite though, it's the greed months.

Yes. This time will definitely create fear months for those who can't appreciate the opportunity that the market is giving now. But for us who have been here for years, this is the perfect time to accumulate potential coins as bitcoin at the present is already at $38,999 and i think it will fall even deeper if this bearish season continues.

However, although we can't stop the people from having fear if the price decline will continue, but it won't really help at all knowing what is happening right now is also part of the market cycle. Just think of it, if bullish season is the season to sell, i think what we have right now is definitely the season to buy and hold. Just do the right thing and of course, never panic. That way, we won't fall in losses.

Maybe some doesn't have the money right now to buy or others are really afraid and very reluctant.

But if you have experience and see the long bear market the last time and then went on a bull run price of $69k last year, you can say that it is indeed a good time to buy an then just hold for years.

So now another decline, below $40k now and we don't know what will be the extend of this downturn. Hopefully we can get back to the support of $40k and not really goes to $36k because that is going to be scary for the majority.

[smyslov]

one one hand we have Omicron and the mark that it is leaving on the world economy.
on the other hand we have the bitcoin price failing to stay above $50k and all the FUD that came after that.

do you think January and possibly February could be the Fearuary months?

Fear comes to those who invest what they can afford to lose, bear and bull trend in the Cryptocurrency market is something that you should expect because this has been the scene ever since there's a possibility that Bitcoin will continue to drop this February so if you're a weak hands time to sell and if you are a true believer this is the best opportunity opened up for you.

greedy is far from fearing because greed people are those kind of investors that keeps their Holding even there are already a profit as they are keep looking for high and high income and that makes greedy person most loser .

While Fearing is also being afraid and they are the one who keeps selling even though there are only small decrease in market as they are fear of losing even single amount of their investments.

so meaning these are not opposite instead different views and attitude .

[celot]

This month begin with bad moment bitcoin and altcoin dump, looks as fear month for this January and waiting have the same on next month or bitcoin make magician pump again above $60,000. Still on weekend maybe tomorrow not really surprise for bitcoin can reach higher price because nothing hope on weekend moment to see good price, next sleep well again for waiting bitcoin can give us much profit.

Why would you not hold your investment if you are making a profit from it? I mean lets assume that I invested 1k into something, and I was very lucky and it became 1 million dollars, why should I sell it? If I bought bitcoin at 1 dollar, and got 100 bitcoins, I would have close to 4 million dollars from my 100 dollar investment, if I said "enough, I should not be greedy" at 100k, then I would have lost out on 3.9 million dollars.

You see how "greed" made me a lot more money? That is why I do not think that we should be selling too quickly if the investment we made makes sense. I am talking about coins like BTC, ETH, BNB, LTC and so forth, they are really good and they should be doing fine. The problem is usually with coins like doge or shiba or xrp or bch/bsv and so forth, they are the main problems because they do not really deserve to be there and if you can get out of them then you should.

If you say so, but i think what's best appropriate this time is to become more greedy than being fearful. If we can be more greedy, then we should always make the right move to improve our profits in the future and that will be possible if we can buy potential coins as much as we want today because that will also be given as rewards in the near future. However, being fear this time is the fear to lose. And the best thing we can do is to hold still our coins as selling would mean a huge loss this time.

i can't predict the impact of all this on the price since the current $41k is already way below what the actual price should be, but i can expect a month or two of "fear" where people are scared of buying bitcoin and eventually start hoping for a drop so that they can buy more (something like what we saw during $30k period in the middle of 2021).

do you think January and possibly February could be the Fearuary months?

Nothing is guaranteed here. There are no specific months that are either “fear months” or “bullish cycle months” or so. Like last month, most of us are expecting that BTC will be having a major bull run to $100k, but it’s the other way around. Expect the unexpected. We just have to be ready on whatever happens to the price today, tomorrow, next week, next month, and so on. Make sure that you only invest and trade an amount that you can afford to lose. If you are a long-term thinker of Bitcoin and doesn’t mind about the price, you can try to DCA every month.

[Woodie]

Of course and we might already be in one as these come when markets are in their bearish state which triggers the fear which leads to many of us holding out on buys, not until the bulls are in the market to signal for the buy low and sale high. And the goodness of all this is that its all temporary, if the fear factor is high it wont be long not untill its a green day for the bulls.

[STT]

Why stop at months, I think we can speculate this whole year might be a fear year.  I'd call it consolidation, natural process and revision and its not as bad as it appears but people get to fear readily so yep good call by OP.     
  I'm not a great fan of hype either, if somehow I could trade both engage and sell I would be alot richer doing so.    It often OTT overdone silly fear imo, BTC behind the scenes matters more.

[Uang_kartal]

I hope the pandemic ends soon. Omicron is still turbulent in your country, right? the investment sentiment has also weakened, in addition to cryptocurrencies (bitcoins).

the 1st quarter of 2022 is fairly constant in price (bitcoin), past events may repeat themselves in the past, the difference is that nowadays people want to buy bitcoin (partly) economic difficulties. layoffs and business bankruptcy. hopefully the economy returns improved and was greeted with an increasing interest in buying bitcoin for investment.

a situation like this (btc is getting dumped) the moment you have to wait for entry should still return to risk management.
end of february my filing will increase and retest above $42,000

It's better to speculate based on year than months because we can see a bigger picture using a year as our basis. Well, the market maybe bearish now but that would never end the crypto market, like in the past, this is the trend that we are seeing again, and if we didn't make the right decision in the past, this is the time to correct that and it should start from buying the dip so we can stock some crypto assets for the coming bull market.

You're right. We often missed opportunities something like this so now is the perfect time to to fill our bags again with our potential coins and we should start buying from the dip. It will be even a lot better if we can buy in every dip so that if we can see that the bearish trend continues, then we can maximize buying from these cheap prices. I guess there's no room for fear in crypto this time as people should be more greedy than be fearful when faced with opportunities like this.

I think that is a pretty fair statement to make.

There is virtually no bullishness left in the marketplace, which is fair enough given that you are looking at a stage in the bull market without much new money. It's really just a zero sum game right now, with people trading against people.

Definitely expect more dumps to come in the next few months. I think that markets are fatigued and the path down faces much less resistance than the path up right now.

From December and January looks fear months and I hope next February as happy month for investor and cryptocurrency holder. I want get back my money after loss much when bitcoin and altcoin dump, waiting next month and really hope never have bad news or some one make FUD with bitcoin and altcoin. Tired with every month have bad news and country make FUD with bitcoin and altcoin price dump because they are really bad thing for cryptocurrency.

Yeah everyone are waiting for a bull trend so that they can get back their money that was lost during these times of bear trend. Actually, I would include myself too to those people who are waiting for it, like you mate I've also loss my money but I always believe that patience is a virtue, that the market will going to pump up again and we can make a good profit from it. I don't panic sell instead I choose to hold my asset in a long term investment, I am very optimistic that we will going to see the market pump again.

Entering the year 2022 we have been surprised by price movements in the market which are quite scary, right now we don't even see any signs the market will improve and even today bitcoin crash again which caused its price to drop to $33,700 and this may not be the lowest price level yet in January.
We all hope that the market will improve soon, but we should use the current downward momentum to increase the assets we have at a low price, so that when prices start to improve, we can at least get a profit from the assets we buy now.

We never know when the fear will be over. The only thing i can say is that we may need to wait a bit because it will not be easy for bitcoin to cross 40K resistance which was once strong support. If we don't get a quick bounce before the end of the month, i am afraid we may see next month further selling pressure.
Also i do not believe that fud and bad news are the cause of the dump. It's only the manipulation by whales and exchanges who want to earn maximum by confusing the retail investors.

Dont ever think that fear would be over because this market could really have that never ending situation on which it could really changed up from time to time knowing that news and fundamentals could float
around. Fear is part of human nature on which these emotions couldnt really get rid of but if you do have that sufficient experience then you could handle it at least.
When you do have that enough skills and experience then you wouldnt easily panic out on things happening since you could handle it out and do know on what
should be doing next.

I can see that the market has not recovered totally, so more likely that this current dump will still be happening in the next 2-3 months from now. But there are no reasons to be fearful this time as we are also in a big opportunity right now to buy more bitcoin and established altcoins. In fact, based on my own experiences, while others are fearful, one should be more greedy to accumulated more. That helped me a lot to never get panic and self pity because i have never been losin all this time, and i get all the chances to fill my bag with coins with great potentials.
