Afraid to buy Bitcoin in its bearish state?

[btc78]

There is no way of knowing what will trigger a Bitcoin bull run, but a Glassnode report on April 18 has spotted “a large amount of coin supply” hovering between $38,000 and $45,000. For traders who believe that BTC will hit $50,000 in July, there is a low-risk options strategy that can be used to launch a long bullish bet.

you did not mentioned about  lowering to 37k in which the price now

but having this in the system ? it looks like the price of Bitcoin  will finally break 50k in the next months because we have failed to take this last April.

hoping there will be light at least in 2 months to come .

buying now will make the investor panic more than ever when the price goes below $30,000. it's not easy looking at the value drips.
the whales must have been expecting the price to really go this low because it's been a month since the price had not jumped back to more than $45,000.

Buying is always best done during the most bearish of states and selling during the most bullish of states. Bear season is actually buying season. So instead of being fearful, people should be stoked that they are given an opportunity to buy low, to buy Bitcoin at a discounted price. Others would think it is irresponsible to recommend buying during the red days in the market. But when is the better time? When the price has already recovered?

Sounds so simple and so great in theory, but good luck getting the typical newbie “investor” to do it successfully; as if we would know what the price floors and price ceilings would be.

For most people — assuming they actually know what they’re investing in, the ever so simple buy and hold is the way to go; while looking for ways to increase cash flow in other places outside crypto.

It is indeed easier said than done but I don't think it is that hard to understand and somehow determine whether the price is cheap or not. They don't have to look for the bottom. It is impossible to hit it accurately. Right now for example, it is clear that Bitcoin's price is cheap. It doesn't mean it won't go any cheaper in the coming days but it is cheap and it is certain that the price would rise sooner or later. And of course hodl is indeed the way to go right after buying. The price may fall further but it will rise eventually.

once the price goes cheaper the next day, an investor would think he best buys BTC the next time it dips again. his loss gets bigger as the value depreciates further.

That loss is paper loss. It is either the investor is still convinced of what he is investing in and would grab the opportunity to invest more with a cheaper price, if he has still money to spend, or he would have shaky hands and feel fear and sell whatever he bought earlier thinking that he would just buy it back once the price falls even more. The latter has been a typical mistake of a lot of people. Most of the time, they miss buying altogether and regret it once the price has recovered. If you can't buy more, it's best to just forget about the price once the buy order has been filled.

If you are not sure how far price of bitcoin will go before jumping up then it's best go buy btc in chunks aka not buying btc at one price with all your capital. This gives you option to average you buying. 38k$ is a very safe bet if you can hodl for month or two. Price of bitcoin is fluctuating in between 35 to 45k$ for quite a while now.

Losers are always afraid and think that any situation is not the right time to buy bitcoin, but successful investors always make the right moment to buy bitcoin, I'm sure those who are afraid for buying bitcoin now will say it's too late to buy if the price has skyrocketed again and then afraid when bearish again and so on.

It is true that failure is always with people who are afraid to try.
Even though it is true that now is the time for us to collect bitcoins as much as possible because when the market starts to rise again, soon the profits will be ours.

[buwaytress]

Never been afraid to buy (or in my case, earn), funny now I think of it. Each time clients offer to pay in stablecoin even I put down a hard no. It does mean I'm sitting on much lower value earnings from the past year or so, haha, and liquidating at lower values -- so that's where I'm afraid, when selling. Afraid's not even the right word. Wistfully regretful ha!

Can't ever see myself being too worried in bearish states though, as long as I'm anchored on the next rally... which I guess happens in 2 or 3 years from now.

What I mean by this? Basically this cryptocurrency is not going through its best moment since it is even said that it will oscillate between $25k, this is where I highlight my comment “Bitcoin is a cryptocurrency full of possibilities” since for some investors this will be the key point and the moment exact to invest in this and see it as a long-term investment since it will have to rise due to its volatility and good profits will be generated, it is a matter of time for this to happen. Don't you think it's a good way to take advantage of the bearish state of said cryptocurrency?

As we all know, the Bearish market is the best time to buy and since we cannot really predict when or perhaps where the bottom will be, it is best to do some DCA along as long as you have the extra finance to do so. However, we also understand how some investors think, waiting for the bottom as missing out in most cases and some will only begin to invest when the market starts going green missing what now was the bottom. When you think long-term in your investment, you would buy at any price provided the market is bearish.

[Sled]

there is nothing to be afraid of as long as you are a bitcoin enthusiast, investor, long term hodler. bearish times are the best for you to buy, you buy at different zones with DCA technique. you can never get the exact bottom so buying early and at ever lower low no matter how small, you are in for good profits anytime the market structures changes to the upside.

The old-timers will think that way but for newbies? Worries could be in their heart and minds. They (newbies) still have doubts about buying the dip and this not be the best option for them. But neither we blame them nor urge them to buy simply because they don't survive due to their emotions. Newbies aren't familiar with this DCA technique, so I don't expect them to use this or even have the interest.

Anyway, buying the dip is very common, yet it was risky. And for those who are impatient people, I'm surprised if they will take this opportunity.
As for the market moves in the sideways,  the more we are careful to make decisions especially if we are in trading.

Most investing or trading methods have some form of risk control.  But with bitcoin, in most cases falling, it is an opportunity to seize without high risk if you understand bitcoin thoughtfully.  I am applying my hedge fund distribution to buy bitcoin don't worry when you have bitcoins in your vault any bottom drop it will make more prospect for big profit  long term.  If you are an Elliott analytical trader, I think the DCA in bitcoin is something perfect.

He either butts up, then falls, this is his and stability, what to be afraid of

I agree that buying the dip is not something for which newbies are prepared, after all even if it is a great strategy the amount of time that you could need to hold those coins can be very long as it could take a lot of time for the bull market to materialize.

And if to this we add the inexperience and the desire to make money quickly that most newbies have then this is not a good strategy for them to implement, and in that case it is better for newbies to simply take it slow and do nothing during an important decrease in the price and instead wait until a recovery is already underway.

I agree with your statement- I mean, it is definitely easier said than done especially if you are an investor who invested large quantities of capital in BTC. In this case, the slightest movement of price, whether an increase/decrease, could mean a gain or loss of thousands to millions on your part.

Though I do agree with your point, it is still essential that you recognize the goal behind your investments. If you plan on HODLing your investments for long-term, then better purchase now while the price is bearish. If you plan on focusing on short-term gains, hence, short-term investments, then I really suggest to purchase only a handful of BTCs and trade them once the price increases.

Same boat as yours there.
New ATH is what I was waiting for as well before my next sell. I am not bothered in the slightest to what is the market even doing this time. It might not make us rich actually, but the return would be hella worth it.
That includes my small amounts getting from SCs. I hold some of them along with the one that I isolated in a separate wallet.

[Synchronice]

If you plan to buy bitcoin but are afraid of bearish state, then you have two types of risk:
1. Buy bitcoin in it's bearish state - Risk: It may fall and you will have to wait sometime, it can be days, weeks, months, years to get profit.
2. Do a short sell - Risk: If the bear market turns into the bull, you'll lose.

There is a third choice: Just wait and see what will happen, if the price falls you'll buy later and profit more or at least you'll learn something from that moment.

But would you mind to spend 1/4 of your budget at the moment when you are afraid because of the bearish state? You either get some profit or you'll lose tiny amount but will find a better time to not only get your tiny amount back but to profit much higher.

If you do really go for long term then price movements wont really be that much an issue or something that could make your freak out unlike on others who are really that active on watching its movement then they are

the ones who do really make themselves panic or getting worried into this particular bearish state.Considering that this had been always the common thing that we could see into this place.
Volatility is the main thing we could see from time to time whether going up or down.I couldnt blame out people on having doubts on taking action
because having those presumptions that whenever they do make out some buy decision they do mind for the price to go down even more.

That may be applicable to other entity but for Bitcoin, if we look at its history, we can always observe that the Halving always trigger the shifting of bear market to bull market.

It is understandable that people tend to follow the most active entities in the world of Trading since having experience in this area people place their trust in them,

This is because most active traders use trading bots and it follows a certain set up so it is not surprising if it looks like most people are following most active entities.

Bitcoin is a cryptocurrency full of possibilities, that is why it is so volatile that it's up today. and low tomorrow, but many investors usually see the movements of these and could even predict the future of this (not entirely true but they are close).

I think the italicized is an overstatement, it is simply speculation because lots of those so-called "predictions" are often times put to shame by the Bitcoin market.

Don't you think it's a good way to take advantage of the bearish state of said cryptocurrency?

It is always good to take advantage of the bearish market simply because we can buy Bitcoin at a discounted price.  If we have a sitting extra funds and won't be needing them for a long period of time, investing in a tested market is the best thing.

If you are smart enough, buying bitcoin at its bearish state is the best move for a wise investor like you. Since wealth is build in the bear season, then we should also fill in our portfolio during the bear season. That way, we will get more discounts from buying bitcoin and with the rest of potential coins, and we will also maximize the profits once we start selling when the prices have reached their peaks. The bearish state of crypto market has definitely a lot of opportunities to offer, but only smart investors are aware of that.

That's the first wrong step and will ruined everything, you must not ever trust someone if you can't verify anything about their claims. If someone still trust any stranger about his Bitcoin, I believe he didn't even understand what is Bitcoin and just want to ride the trend for money oriented.

Anyone who already experienced at least since 2017, wouldn't afraid of bear market. The 2017-2018 years is a tough lesson for many peoples, if they're bought every dip when the Bitcoin price is $3000-$4000 they're a millionaire right now.

In trading, you will find it hard to trust someone because as long as money is involved, you are only taking the risk to be scam before you knew it. So trusting someone could only create losses on your part. Instead, have your own experience that will mold you to become a good trader in the process. However, bear market always bring opportunities along. The reason why we should prepare funds for it so we can maximize our purchase during bear season, as that could also mean creating large opportunities to be highly profitable when the bull season comes.

When you are already experienced then seeing bearish market isnt something talks about losses or being fear on making some step but actually its an opportunity to buy cheaper coins and other people

do really that way and others do see the opposite thing thats why on the time the market do make out some recovery then this is where regret lines do come out that they had missed on accumulating

while its still cheap and these lines would continue to be said because people cant really that resist on panicking whenever they do see price declines.Yes its normal but you should
know that its the right time to get in.
