Those who bought at the top with the mindset it would break out to 150k happy?

TBH, I'm not worried about BTC. I believe the market will bounce back again, and it's just a matter of time. Let's face it, it's pretty difficult to predict the bottom and ceiling. Those whose experiencing their first cycle may be feelin' the dread though lol.

Hopefully, we'll be able to hold through the bear market when it hits. This is why it is important to fortify a nice savings + insurance so you don't immediately touch your BTC in case of emergency and what not.

Only the new investors are worried about bitcoin honestly, the rest are just calm while watching bitcoin price continue to drop. Maybe because this isn't the first time for bitcoin to suddenly experience an abrupt price decline, but it will always recover in time, that's have been proven a lot of times.

If this is heading to the bearish market, then now is the best time to enter the market and accumulate bitcoin. Or wait for more days and lets see if bitcoin price never stops plummeting.

Finally it's coming: the moment to start acquiring more BTC once again. The market is giving a clear signal that we are leaving the bull season to enter the bear one. It's not something new for those who are here since 2021, at least.

For those who continued purchasing when Bitcoin was on the peak, I fear they will have to wait until the next season, what means preparing themselves to hold for the following few years. Of course there are always expectations Bitcoin can perform better in a shorter period of time, but it's important to be prepared for every scenarios, anyway.

[Botnake]

I guess regardless of your position in the market, we all feel disappointed every time bitcoin is heading into a bearish price, and that's really normal. But let's not focus on the negative side of it but look at the positive side as it could open new opportunity for new members in the crypto market to enter bitcoin investment and place a good purchase. And continue to DCA as much as possible. With this, regardless of how bitcoin behaves in the market, we are already in the process of increasing our bitcoin portfolio no matter what.

[Dickiy]

I don't blame the market when that happens, but rather blame myself for having too high expectations. After all, we never know what the future holds. Surely, what's there to be disappointed about?

In fact, the decline presented a golden opportunity for me to further increase my accumulation, a chance to achieve greater profits in the future.

[AbuBhakar]

For those who ventured into the market with the mindset it would break out to 150k to 180k how do you feels right away?
Feels disappointed with the market or not, to me to be frank I am already disappointed because is like almost, 30 to 35 % drop, but the good thing is that you can also accumulates more bitcoin to your portfolio to cover up the lose, so that when the market rises you would make double profits of your lose, does this helps to cover up the loses?

I assume most of the user that purchased at the ATH or near it already sold their holdings out of panic while some still do DCA. There’s a lot of opportunity to sell again near the ATH since the price breaks the ATH multiple times even after experiencing minor correction.

It’s painful to watch the price dip while you purchase at the top since all you can experience is just a loss on every price dip but it’s just a paper loss if you will just hold and be patient.

Easier said than done because under certain conditions, it's hard to tell where exactly the bottom could go. For example, you try to accumulate right now but then the prices keeps plummeting to the 70's and 60's, What do you call that? More disappointment?

It means you could have to wait for another bull run to breakeven, especially if this is the start of a bear market. This is why it is very tricky buying at the top or near the all-time high.

It is still possible as long as bitcoin would rise again, what it all matter is if the person will be willing to hold back to meet another Bull market then only that moment they would recover all they have lose because after the 4 years cycle it always creates new ATH, thus, what happened this year may likely occurred on the another cycle since bitcoin break out from a new ATH before even the halving started.
That is why the whales keeps getting larger than lower people who invested just scalp little benefits from the market but yet the market keeps going against their expected directions.

Of course, the expectations of many have not been fulfilled, and it is difficult to say how most traders will behave in this situation. The algorithm of each trader will depend on the understanding of the market and the availability of finances. I can assume that some have sold their BTC at a loss and left the cryptocurrency market forever, others will just hold their coins, and others will actively buy.

Yes, that could be possible, but only when Bitcoin's price goes up. What if it goes down even more? Your supposed profits that you're dreaming will turn into more losses because you took the risk of accumulating even more, and the market didn't went up just like what you're predicting. Well, if you're a long term holder then you can just completely ignore it, but what if you're just a short term holder.

Anyway, I'm disappointed not in the market, but for myself for not taking profits at near the peak. This is the same problem that I have in 2021, but this time, I'm not as disappointed now because at the end of the day, I'll end this year making money. For those who bought at near peak prices AND still holding it until now hoping that one day, the market will favor them, I hope that you will start to cut your losses now or wait for a dead-cat bounce because from what I'm seeing right now chart-wise, we might start the bear market earlier than what many are expecting despite of the good news that's coming like the acceptance of ETF on different altcoins, the FED cutting interest rates and the government resuming.

Many people who entered the market expecting bitcoin to hit 150k to 180k are definitely feeling frustrated right now because the market didn’t live up to the hype it’s normal to feel disappointed after such a strong expectation especially when you’ve seen bitcoin reach 100k plus and thought it would just keep going up but that’s the thing about crypto markets they’ll always do the unexpected and humble even the most confident predictions. Accumulating more bitcoin at lower prices can help you recover your losses later but that only works if you’re mentally and financially ready to hold long term if the price keeps falling and you’re not prepared for more drawdown you’ll just add to your stress so it’s important to have a clear plan before averaging down.

For short term holders this correction feels like a slap because you’re watching paper profits evaporate but long term holders are used to this volatility they know it’s part of the cycle some regret not taking profits near the top which is understandable because greed and hope always make us wait for “just one more leg up” but in crypto taking profits is just as important as holding. Right now it’s better to step back reflect on your mistakes and prepare for the next phase whether it’s a deeper correction or another breakout emotional decisions are what destroy portfolios discipline is what rebuilds them.

[wozzek23]

We can't deny the fact that a lot of people were bullish and this dip might even liquidated a lot of accounts. People were expecting bitcoins to continue to rally at least up to 150k but that certainly did not happen. Usually bitcoins will take a step back and will show some short term bearish divergence before reaching another ATH so I still take this positively and as you said, this is just another buying opportunity for me.

I would solely focus on buying more bitcoins and adding it to my portfolio to average my entry points and will be holding them for long term. These short term moves does not really affect me because I am here for long term.

If you're already thinking about buying in a falling market, I wouldn't rush into it. As for buying, after the price reached 100k and was rising higher, I repeatedly said I wouldn't buy because the upside potential isn't that great. This has been a good cycle for Bitcoin, even if the bull market turns out to be over, but things aren't so great for altcoins. When Bitcoin was near its highs, there was a lot of selling from long-term holders, which was also a sign that they were taking profits, and after that we shouldn't expect much growth.

Of course, the expectations of many have not been fulfilled, and it is difficult to say how most traders will behave in this situation. The algorithm of each trader will depend on the understanding of the market and the availability of finances. I can assume that some have sold their BTC at a loss and left the cryptocurrency market forever, others will just hold their coins, and others will actively buy.

Those who sold their bitcoins and left the markets forever will miss some really good profits in the future. Maybe in future once we hit another ATH, these people will come back and will start buying the peak again just to wind up in the same situation. These people are looking for quick profits but that is not always possible with bitcoins. You need a lot of patience when it comes to bitcoins and even in times like this, we should firmly hold our positions because some or other day, price will revert back and will start cutting our loss.

My recommendation for such people will be to think about this as a learning opportunity and also try to forget the money you invested and let it sit there for a meanwhile. In long term, it will give you profits again.

Patience is part of bitcoin investment. If they can't make profit with the current bitcoin price, then they have to wait for another selling opportunity so that their goal profits will still be achieved. Buying at peak is never bad at all, but its also not highly advisable especially when the market suddenly turns into bearish from its bullish season.

For now, buying and holding are the best options. Let's not entertain the idea of going into panic selling, that will never create positive outcome anyway.

For those who ventured into the market with the mindset it would break out to 150k to 180k how do you feels right away Feels disappointed with the market or not, to me to be frank I am already disappointed because is like almost, 30 to 35 % drop, but the good thing is that you can also accumulates more bitcoin to your portfolio to cover up the lose, so that when the market rises you would make double profits of your lose, does this helps to cover up the loses?

Bitcoin price is currently down, and I know most people won’t be happy about that, most people involving themselves in bitcoin trading or investment are always expecting profits within a short period of time, most investors are short term investors, just few investors are always targeting long term.

Short term investors and traders are really going to be feeling bad right now, they are the one targeting bitcoin to hit $150k-$180k before selling, I don’t think long term investors will have that target, they going to be aiming higher, and even if they have been holding for long, and their target is to sell if bitcoin hits $150k, now that bitcoin price is dropping, they not going to feel bad because they know bitcoin is till going to hit the price, it might not just be now.

[jossiel]

The surprising part is that many have thought that it would stay on the top for so long. That's not how it goes for Bitcoin.

$150k is high but we've been to $125k and that's not that far from it but considering the cash flow, there will be more pressure in selling.

And with the price that keeps on dumping. Everyone who's disappointed with the $91k as it sits there now will have to start realizing you're not pressured if you think long.

[Yamifoud]

Obviously they are definitely panicking right now, accepting the fact that they'll be losing already once they decide to sell. This will serve them a lesson that buying bitcoin, if not through DCA, at least they should buy it when bitcoin price is low, not when at its peak price. Otherwise, it will take longer before they will profit from their investment. However, bitcoin will not stay dipping its price forever, it will certainly recover in time, though we don't know when exactly it will be. That's definitely why patience is crucial to bitcoin.

[nutildah]

It ain't over yet. I think we will end the year above 100k and see a lurch up above 150k in the early part of 2026. Some people studiously follow cycles and in some ways this cycle has played out to a "T", but don't discount the whales' ability to create sudden fakeouts to create confusion and panic for their own gain.

The people who bought at the last top were told we were going above 200k by November, a sentiment I believed earlier in the year. I hope they do not turn into the 64k crowd of last cycle who had to wait 3 years to be in the profit.

Of course, there's disappointment, as the decline has been too deep. Although some still believe this is still a bullish period and the decline is a correction, but traders should be careful in setting profit targets. However, for investors, this is normal because their target may not be $180,000, so they see the current price as an opportunity to add more Bitcoin in their wallet.

[Bobrox]

Hope for that people who bought bitcoin over $120k or too close with new ATH price still fine for right now and keep holding their bitcoin assets without get panic to sell nowadays after bitcoin dumping under $92k. Correction in cryptocurrency market is normally and is not first time huge correction of bitcoin price after longer time existing at higher price, I think its great moment to buy back or make accumulate bitcoin after touching support price.
The right moment nowadays to buy bitcoin after reach support price and don't miss the great time during many people panic to sell bitcoin, learning latest correction bitcoin success break out more and raise new ATH price. I believe with possibility new ATH price next time after bitcoin dip too high recently dropping more than 20% from latest ATH price.

I agree with you about the end of the bull market. It seems that the huge demand for Bitcoin purchases that existed a few months ago has dried up, and even Sailor's purchases are not helping to keep the price up. After Bitcoin fell below 90,000, there were serious purchases and the price rose to 90,500 for a while, but now it has fallen below 90,000 again.
I wouldn't say that those who bought Bitcoin above $100,000 will have to wait four years to return to that level, because now there are large funds that buy Bitcoin for their balance sheets and Bitcoin ETFs, which also steadily support demand for Bitcoin.
