Anyone get that feeling when a market is topping in euphoria or bottoming in despair?
I got that feeling at $225 during the April bubble, at $60 when it flash crashed, at $150 again at the rebound and at the $80 during the capitulation. It's that urgent type of feeling, a vous-devez type of obligation to act. When it's a euphoric tops, it's an alarming sensation of "You MUST buy in!! NOW!" and at bottoms it's a "Last chance to sell! Do it!" kind of heart-pounding focus. In retrospect it's obvious which trade is right but I usually end up making the exact opposite trade.
I'm getting that feeling right now. Anyone else?

Those are usually the times you should sit on your hands and do nothing. Just IMO.

Me too. My brain think we are close to the bottom but I feel I would be more secure if I would sell.. in case it drops to 200s (I usually solve the problem by selling just 1 or 2 "symbolic" BTCs) The next step is "cancel all my buy orders" ![Lips sealed](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/lipsrsealed.gif)

If Chinese money starts leaving bitcoin, we could be heading back to pre-November 2013 levels. In a way it's good for bitcoin, not so much for speculators though.

China is old news. People in Denmark can trade BTC and legally pay no taxes. I never get That urgent feeling at bottoms, I always know buying is the right move. At tops I sometimes want to buy after a small dip

Just trade with the trend and don't try to call exact bottoms or exact tops - or you will get killed eventually.

We are usually at the bottom when I get the feeling that I should sell for easy profit. I currently don't have such feeling but I'm starting to think towards that direction already.

Yeah... I have the urgent feeling that I should be buying. Too bad I don't have any fiat. All I have is bitcoins (and I have intense jealousy of those who are in a position to put in a few thousand $ right now)

HODLing for the longest time. Skippin fast right around the moon. On a rocketship straight to mars. Up, up and away with my beautiful, my beautiful Bitcoin~

Nope, I dont trade after my feelings. You should not either. Your feelings will just get in the way of your brain making the right decission. I bought a while back when the price was a little higher, but my system told me so and I backtested it thoroughly.

I know exactly what you mean. Every time I thought it is the end, it went up rapidly. That feeling when you think, this time its different, this time it wont go up. And it will go way more down. It is the end. And fear gets mixed with panic. But every time I HODL and made no loss till now. Lets see how it works out this time.

How could it possibly be the end when the largest Chinese exchanges are still accepting CNY? (only a couple small ones have shut it down)

I really want to buy more but I usually wait and buy on panics.
I have not seen any major panics yet.
Huobi and/or BTCChina going down may cause a panic. Then you will see the floor.

Here's what the 'floor' looked like, last time we had a REAL 'final capitulation', which involved a supercycle and a 1W EMA downcross. Notice the famous 'titty pattern' of a double bottom both with very high volume and the second bottom actually has larger volume than the first bottom. ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FO1cMSjv.png&t=665&c=FRly9vx3uzMLcg)

Everyday on Coindesk there's news about investments in new bitcoin ventures. You know what the next step will be? Investment in Bitcoin itself. That's why smart people are funding the infrastructure surrounding it first, so it will be able to survive and stay stable after the next upward price explosion. And it might be coming very soon ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

I'm tired of all this talk about 'investments'. Bitcoin's value is supposed to come from people using it with some type of decentralized currency model. It's not a stock. It doesn't really even need any of this 'infrastructure', theoretically, if people actually used it is a decentralized currency in a complete bitcoin ecnomy. The fact that people insist on pegging btc to fiat and conducting all their business with fiat is the reason why btc needs all this infrastructure and is also the reason why btc isn't very popular and doesn't have a higher value.
