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

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...

Usually, those who want to make a quick profit trade with high leverage and they do not have the opportunity to hold their position for a long time if the price moves in the opposite direction. So, given the continued decline in the price of cryptocurrencies, it is safe to say that the positions of such traders have already been eliminated.

Behind disappointment there should be something for us. We should not feel too sad seeing the drop in price but we can anticipate it by buying more Bitcoin. You can accumulate Bitcoin and add it to your portfolio. That helps you make more profits when the market rises. There is nothing to worried because this down will be temporary.

If you think you can't handle your emotions, you should leave the market and take a rest.

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.

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.

The transition from bull to bear season always brings mixed emotions for investors some see it as the end of excitement while others view it as the perfect moment to start accumulating again and build long term positions bitcoin dropping below 90k shows the heat from the bull run has cooled off and liquidity is drying up this kind of environment filters out the impatient and rewards those who truly understand market cycles. The momentum that once pushed bitcoin above 100k has clearly faded big investors are no longer aggressively buying and even public figures like sailor adding to their holdings barely move the market anymore but that doesn’t mean the fundamentals have weakened instead it’s a signal that the market is resetting preparing for another strong base before future growth.

Those who bought at the top shouldn’t panic it’s normal in every cycle for new investors to experience a phase of waiting before recovery bitcoin has matured a lot since past cycles with institutional backing etfs and companies holding it as part of their reserves all of this creates a more stable long term foundation even if short term volatility continues. Rather than seeing this dip as a loss it’s better to view it as another opportunity to accumulate gradually corrections like this are what make the next rally stronger patience will decide who benefits most when the market eventually rebounds.

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 think that being disappointed while waiting for the price we want is very common for every investor. I think in this case it is not appropriate to cover losses, but rather to get the lowest average price that we want. There is indeed no other way to overcome conditions like this other than accumulating as much as you can, I think focus on the long term rather than the short term so that the results we want are maximized. If you are experienced enough and understand what you are buying and investing in, you certainly won't be deeply disappointed because you already understand that this kind of decline is temporary and that if there is good news, Bitcoin will definitely rebound. In this case, patience is what we need to face all this.

Bitcoin price is volatile and is never stable, sometimes it went up massively and on same pattern it also went down beyond any prediction. The current decline in Bitcoin price is giving us an excellent opportunity to buy more Bitcoins because it's now affirm that Bitcoin price will go up after every dip. We must stop thinking about current price of Bitcoin rather think how we can get benefit from this price. If we want to enjoy profit when Bitcoin price goes back to 100k then make sure you buy at current dip.

Of course, they will feel disappointed that the market is not going in their favour, but according to Bitcoin's biggest crashes in history, Bitcoin has seen worse. It has dropped more than the percent you mentioned and has gone up again. So, the current dip is nothing new and I'm still optimistic there's going to be a price reversal.

[Nothingtodo]

Many may have predicted that Bitcoin would touch $150k by the end of 2025, and we too were very happy to see that, but given the current market conditions, it doesn't seem like the market will be over $100k this year. However, those who invested from the market price of $124k ATH must have lost a lot, meaning they have no choice but to be patient at this time. Although I have not invested in the high market, I am thinking of investing again in the new year 2026 after looking at the market up until this year, and I will hold that investment for the long term.

The point is that nobody will be happy seeing Bitcoin’s price dropping. Whether someone has the mindset that Bitcoin will hit $150k in this cycle or not, as long as someone is holding Bitcoin at this moment, they will really be disappointed. But all I can say is that anything is still possible with Bitcoin. It’s possible for Bitcoin to recover and still hit $150k or above, maybe next year, because Bitcoin is unpredictable. Even the recent crash nobody knew it was going to happen. And when it will recover, nobody can actually say; people will just be predicting based on their own understanding, related to some events or past Bitcoin history.but let be honestly if someone don't want to be more worry all the time,they should always have long time aim of holding bitcoin.

Unfortunately it doesn't matter if we like it or not, the price drops all the same. I understand it is not that easy to accept this but as long as this exists we have to realize that it's going to happen. So if you can just accept that, then you will be a lot more ready for it and wouldn't face any trouble at all, should be something that we can benefit without much trouble.

I think it is going to be something that will take a while, and for that reason I think we can definitely bring in some money out of it. I understand it is not going to be that crazy income, but even drops have a chance to profit later on. You just need to keep on buying while it is dropping and do your DCA and you can profit later on with time.

In every negative situation, we should also learn to look at its positive side. Know that  bearish and bullish price have certainly their own market opportunities so we shouldn't worried too much because what we see now is only temporary, instead we should analyze well what's the best thing to do. While the bullish price gives us opportunity to sell and make profits, the current price as well marks a good entry on the market and start buying bitcoin at its bargain price.

Those who have realized this are just calm watching the market, while those who are making conclusion on their investment, surely they are panicking and worried right now.

This is a supposed way out but the challenge will be in the ability to express patience enough, most Traders and Investors may not be able to get that done, they may not have the patience enough to wait for the market to retrace in the upward direction, they will loose their patience before then so even if the go ahead to continue with accumulation at this time, they may still end up not make enough that can be considered double of their capital for a profit. Personally i will advise if you know you do not have that patience and will not be able to wait, do not proceed to further accumulation but to exercise the little patience you have got to wait to recover and when you do, you will be able to take some profits before you run out of patience completely.

This is when it becomes very important and crucial that you consider DCA if you must further your accumulation of crypto, you will only be safer with DCA because you ae not going to put in a huge sum all at once so you get the chance to further observe the market and make your decisions right.

[7juju]

Its okay to be disappointed with how bitcoin performs right now, but take note, you will only lose if you decide to sell your coins at a current price. So the best option, just continue hodling and at the same time, buy when the price hits the bottom so you can increase easily the amount of your bitcoin in your portfolio.

Knowing when the price will hit the Bottom is the problem, the only known bottom right now is bitcoin getting to zero and as things stands I don't see the possibility of bitcoin hitting that range. Any other bottom is very unlikely to predict, because we have seen different occasions were someone bought at a certain price thinking that he has bought the bottom and the next minute or hours bitcoin drops again and again. It is almost impossible to buy the bottom unless luck is on your side and you capture it before market reversal.

Currently everyone is disappointed and no one is happy about it. Many thought that the price of Bitcoin would be $150+, while some expected more, but now the price of Bitcoin has started to fall, now I don't know if the price of Bitcoin will increase. Now those who have suffered losses, have no choice but to hold, but if they accumulate more Bitcoin in the portfolio during the bear season, it is not a bad idea. If the price of Bitcoin does not recover in this season, then holding it until the next cycle can be expected to make good profits.

Bitcoin price will definitely increase over time or after every drop but this time, will it increase again soon after or will we have to wait another 4 years? This is something that many people are concerned about, and those who are worried because they fear having to wait for a long time. We are entering the end of the year, and historically and if market cycles repeat, we will soon enter a bear market or are already in it. If we enter a bear market now and Bitcoin price will continue to fall, instead of going to 100k$.

They're certainly not happy, but since there's still a possibility of the price recovering and hitting even higher all-time highs, panicking and selling might lead to inevitable regret. We've seen this happen before, and Bitcoin has bounced back strong. I'm not saying this recovery is guaranteed, but history seems to be repeating itself.

It's okay to feel disappointed, it's okay to feel sad, we're all human. Nobody will have money in bitcoin and see the price dipping while losing money and be happy about it. What we want is for the price to keep going up, but we can't always have what we want. What we can't do is take advantage of a situation. If you have the money, take advantage of the dip.
There's no need to panic and sell at a loss. Just keep holding and wait. If you bought at over 100k, by now a part of you might be telling you to cut your losses and move on, if that's what you really need to do, then go ahead, but we've been here many times before. Tis is not the first time bitcoin has dipped over 30% before. I don't know how many times this needs to happen before people start believing in Bitcoin no matter what.

Are you asking this question to a trader or an investor?

Because the answer differs for either of them, and to me as an investor I am not at loss even when bitcoin fell around 90K, because the last big purchase of me was around 66K or something so technically I will be still around 50% profit for less than a year which is more than expected if someone knew how investment works.

We've seen this happen before, and Bitcoin has bounced back strong. I'm not saying this recovery is guaranteed, but history seems to be repeating itself.

There are many cases where people panic during a bearish market trend, cut their losses and then regret it when the price goes back up or reaches a new ATH again.
As we know Bitcoin history shows this pattern repeating over and over.
But on the other hand relying on that repeating history is also very risky, because today’s market is much more complex. There are many new factors like regulations, big institutions also trading, manipulated liquidity and macro conditions.

So in my opinion, not panicking is right, but not selling just because you’re hoping for an ATH isn’t wise either.
The best thing is to always have a plan like DCA, setting your own cut-loss limit or deciding on a reasonable profit target.

Basically recovery might happen in the future but there’s no guarantee. What matters most is making decisions based on strategy, not just hope.

There is always chance for recovery. People who bought at the ATH top 5 years ago could've doubled their money now. Since inflation is high and there seems to be no improvement. I prefer to bet on a risky asset like bitcoin and just let it sit and marinate for few years if worse come to worst like bearish market.

If we enter a bear market now and Bitcoin price will continue to fall, instead of going to 100k$.

In Jan this year price of Bitcoin was above 100k and then in April we saw Bitcoin price going down to 75k due to tariff standoff between China and US. In October we saw Bitcoin price rising to 126k. This is an example of current year that tells us how volatile Bitcoin price is, there are scores of such examples from past that tells volatility of Bitcoin. In Oct, when Bitcoin was touching 126k their were speculations that soon we will see 150k and now when price has gone down we are hearing negative speculations. I think it's better to stay positive about Bitcoin price because it will recover very soon.
