Increase in volatility

[SPIDERMAN008]

Well said OP, the ultimate means is long term investment, because short traders would suffer for price volatility and that is inevitable.

These big banks have the major influence on Bitcoin, and it would be totally unwise to act according to every trend because that could be pure market manipulation. It's safe to avoid the hassle and just focus on long term investment rather than small candle movement.

I also agree with you. Actually, there may be many reasons behind the price of Bitcoin going up or down. It is difficult to understand which one is having the most impact. However, in the long-term, Bitcoin is more likely to give profit. Therefore, trying to do market timing can never be a good decision. Because it is absolutely impossible to predict the price of Bitcoin. If you trade like gambling by only short-term price prediction, there is a high possibility of loss. Many people want to take risks after seeing some profit in the beginning, thinking that they are very experienced traders, and their consequences are worse. Keeping Bitcoin as a digital asset for long-term investment in mind, you should proceed with a plan to hold it for a long time.

It is important to remember that volatility is a natural phenomenon or characteristic in bitcoin. It creates short term uncertainty but does not change or affect bitcoin long-term fundamentals. Most successful investors stay focused on their strategies, avoid taking decisions because of temporary market movement  and manage effectively. However, increase in volatility can creat more profit opportunities for traders, but it is a test of emotional discipline and patience for long term investors. Rapid price increases can encourage impulsive buying geared by fear of missing out (FOMO), while quick price drops leads some inexperienced investors to sell out panic.

Increase in volatility can be caused by some of the following factors; Sudden change in demand and supply, regulatory announcements, institutional purchase, institutional sells, institutional adoption, market sentiment and economic event.

Short term traders will often want to follow up with all of this news and even more, since it is necessary for them but that is not necessarily the case of an HODLER or one who is investing.

Since their plan is not to hold for long, it will definitely going to make them to sell or trade their bitcoin on time because that fear of loss it will be in such holders or traders, there is confidence for those that understand bitcoin and also know how to use good wallet to hold the bitcoin because it will give them hope not to be tempted to sell what will cause them loss when they sell immediately than to hold and watch before they can release the bitcoin,  either using long term or short term on bitcoin, make sure you know your purpose of approaching bitcoin and it will allow you to accumulate bitcoin that will open financial progress in your life.

As Bitcoin adoption is increasing companies and institutions are possessing more Bitcoin,
And it has come to understand that just few firms (eg strategy) are possessing larger amount of Bitcoin as time goes by, as a result their actions will influence the market more that ever before

they sale and the market make's sharp drops, creating panic, they buy and market Spike's up, and it seems like control but it isn't, it's just influence, but this can significantly increase volatility, therefore short-term Bitcoin trading happens to be very risky in such market state,

I see how most people try to follow these companies news and sale when they do to later buy, but this approach will cost you losses, a better approach is to depend on long term reward, their actions can affect the market on a short term, but a long term goal will make you care less about all the noises and you wouldn't be affected by these volatility. This firms also want the growth of Bitcoin as their companies are dependant on it, so this is also a sign of a good future.

It is true that these big companies influences the price of bitcoin, and cause very sharp volatility, and market fluctuation because of their large holding, however as a small bitcoin investor, trying to imitate these big companies might cause you more trouble than good, I still believe these big investors are also on more profit on the long run, and also encourage long term investing.
As a bitcoin investor, it is necessary to follow the best method of bitcoin investing which is long term investment strategy, with this, your profit is very much guaranteed.

So far bitcoin remains in existence, bitcoin has great potential, and will continue to reward investors, therefore be patient, and do not be discouraged by market volatility, and bitcoin bearish trend, at the right when bitcoin price movement will turn bullish, if you have been on losses during the bear market, all your losses will surely be recovered, and profit is also sure.

The best advice is hold longer so you don’t get a bad experience along the line, what’s more surprising is people don’t know how bitcoin volatility works. It’s not always about falling though the market is the major center of attention currently and people get scared if the market is ever going to rise again, companies partaking in bitcoin investment got their personal reason and sometimes many who are scared of losing everything might actually end up losing everything as a result of lack of patience and then these companies still benefit definitely they control the market in a certain way, high demand can also stand as a factor influencing the price, an investor should have a long term plan.

they sale and the market make's sharp drops, creating panic, they buy and market Spike's up, and it seems like control but it isn't, it's just influence, but this can significantly increase volatility, therefore short-term Bitcoin trading happens to be very risky in such market state,

I like the fact that you said, they influence the market but not control it, we have seen and experienced many pandemic and world crisis that had influenced the market but didn't control it, China ban crypto, world COVID 19 outbreak, Russia-Ukraine war and Iran-US war, all these influence the market in a negative manner but didn't control the price.


Truth be told, no matter how much these institutions buys or sells, it influences the price for short period of time then it settles again. For those following these institutions for trading, you going to ruin yourself and your trading career. What influence and control the market is the accumulated demand and supply calculated at that period of time of the day, the month as well as the year from every traders round the world, be it individual or institutional traders.

You see this matter you write on e don the happen already for the bitcoin market and nah there inside this current dip way bitcoin the experience now nah those bitcoin spot ETF adoptors nah the cos this dip with the selling streak by these institutions way the try divert their capital to other asset opportunities. The most significant one nah the sell of 32 BTC way Saylor sell and come announce am way come do wetin price sharply fall. I dey wonder how the price go fall reach again for next time in future if Saylor decide to sell thousands of parts of their total bitcoins way them get. Nah why retail investors gat serious with their bitcoin investment to not lag by for the accumulation.

The actions of large investors are largely responsible for influencing the market. Recently the world's largest corporate Bitcoin holding company Strategy has sold some of its holdings, which has been reported in various media, creating instability among small investors and creating psychological pressure to panic sell and some have liquidated.

Do not invest in Bitcoin based on the information provided by others. I would say that you use your own analysis method. One of the reasons for financial losses among new investors is the decision to sell in panic.

Experienced investors have a kind of confidence in Bitcoin accumulation because in the past history, it is seen that the price has fallen but it was temporary and the price will increase soon.

[Out of mind]

It is true that large companies holding large amounts of Bitcoin can influence the market, and this can create short-term price pressure in the market. We have already seen a few days ago that the largest companies own the most Bitcoin and the market went into a downward spiral due to their selling of Bitcoin a few days ago. Since Bitcoin is a global market, it is not always correct to call it a control at all. However, those who take advice to trade after seeing such news can certainly cause losses for them, so it is always best to have a long-term plan in the market. If someone is planning to invest for 5 to 10 years, then it is a long-term plan and following this strategy and investing through DCA will reduce the pressure. Rather, we think it is best to move towards long-term investment rather than chasing short-term trading, and there is no risk here.

Noise indeed. Becoming such watchdog (watching an influential company buy and or sell) goes with pressure and likely waiting for the perfect dip and or rise that might definitely not happen. Doing this watch can trigger trading which would means loses for many people so there is no need getting carried away by any company influence not control on Bitcoin. As an investor, stay focused on your long-term accumulation target that will control or mitigate your loses so far as Bitcoin investment is consign.

Yes I do agree,
This is another motivation I get when Bitcoin is having going trough a dip just like this one, no matter how the companies or firms manipulate the market they will still want rally.
So if this big companies can have this in mind who am I to think other wise lol.
Hold Bitcoin jorr

Anybody who claimed to have invested in bitcoin for the long term but still can't look away from the the happenings around that are either negatively or positively affecting the price of bitcoin, such a person is not yet an investor is such any of such actions or happening will drive them to want to sell their bitcoin in hopes of buying back cheaper, some people who do this end up not buying back cheaper, while some end up not buying back at all or they are forced to buy altcoin instead because the price of bitcoin went up above the price they sold, this is how most people end up losing their investment in bitcoin quite early.

As an investor who have investment for the long term, if you must look at the market, let it be because you want to check if there is a buying opportunity, for if there is, then buying more and adding to what you already have is the best choice than selling to try buying back cheaper.

I agree that large Bitcoin holders and companies can create short-term market pressure when they buy or sell significant amounts of Bitcoin. However, I would be careful about assuming that every market decline is caused by large companies selling. Bitcoin's price is influenced by many factors, including macroeconomic conditions, investor sentiment, leverage in the market, and overall demand and supply.

What is important is that long-term investors should avoid making emotional decisions based on short-term news. Those who rush into trading after hearing headlines often end up buying high and selling low. A clear investment plan, especially one based on long-term accumulation and DCA, can help reduce the stress caused by daily price fluctuations. While no investment is completely risk-free, a disciplined long-term approach has historically been more rewarding for many Bitcoin investors than trying to predict short-term market movements.

What some people don't know is that they don't think very well to think the institutional investors are not that weak hands. A person bought Bitcoin and because you heard he want to sell his Bitcoin and you sold because of that forgetting that there are plenty of institutions that bought millions worth of Bitcoin, some are in billions. Those people are supposed to be your motivation if the Bitcoin price is not smiling at that time, it's only for sometime and will pass.

There are some people that bought Bitcoin because of what another person said and that's bad in my opinion. If you ever going to make any investment chocie, don't do it because other people are doing it, you should do it because everyone are in it and you want to make a difference choice for yourself. If you make this kind of mindset before you make any investment, you will not be intimated with any thing that happened to the market.

[DiMarxist]

Our Bitcoin investment should not be tied down to one company or the other who many believe is manipulating the market. I don't believe we as investors should allow things like this to bother our minds because it's not actually necessary. Anyone who truly understand Bitcoin will definitely note that Bitcoin is alone assets is long term assets as an investment prospects, and so patient will be applied for any investor because volatility is part of Bitcoin.

[God Tim]

Being focused on one company would make one to loss it sight of a biggger picture. When it come to Bitcoin it has always being volatile and again short time price movements dont change. Consistency, knowledge and patience it tge key for long term investors

Wetin you go understand be say all these big investors and companies get the power to manipulate the market and sometimes all these liquidations wey them dey do na just to cause panic so that other people go follow them liquidate their own bitcoins too but most of them have hiding agenda to buy back when the price don fall well well. The reason why dem dey do like that may not really be because they want to divert to other assets, but they are looking for opportunity to maximize their profits in the long term. Person like Michael Saylor still has a large number of bitcoins so they are just selling a portion of their holding which will not even affect them in the future.

The thing is as more institutions and countries are coming in it has both negative and positive effects the major positive side to it which may also be probably the only issue adoption aside from that it's just an avenue for these centralized systems to to be able to hijack and manipulate prices to their own wants.

Ever since the US put more interest in bitcoin that was like the start point of how we continued to get ups and downs corresponding to the current beat we are suffering.

Of course these whales are like major share holders of a company, they have higher percentage in the company and this makes them influence the business, so it is in Bitcoin market. There are people with high amount of bitcoin in their possession, they make things happen that's why when they sell it affect the market and when they buy it increases the price because demand will increase, they cause tension in the market, but this was not the intention of Satoshi nakamoto, because this strategy make Bitcoin looks more of a centralized currency that can be manipulated than decentralized.

I see how most people try to follow these companies news and sale when they do to later buy, but this approach will cost you losses, a better approach is to depend on long term reward, their actions can affect the market on a short term, but a long term goal will make you care less about all the noises and you wouldn't be affected by these volatility. This firms also want the growth of Bitcoin as their companies are dependant on it, so this is also a sign of a good future.

Of course as an investor, you don't have to Look onto those shakes, but Rather think about the future by investing and holding. Except you want to trade, then you can gamble with a small percentage you can afford to lose.

The new crypto firms that are causing the increase in liquidity and volatility are also the reason why the market is looking a bit different than how we used to know it, with one bad news they can affect the market and also they have the same influence when they start marketing their buying spree as it causes other retail investors to start buying in anticipation of the market increasing.

We can't base our investment on this guys because they can't be trusted as they are only here for the profit therefore they will be willing to do anything that can take your Bitcoin out of your hands into theirs. This guys are slowly accumulating and as such if you decide to sell when there is panic you are letting go of your future and it is being accumulated by this crypto firms.

Don't be fooled as they don't have your best interest at heart instead stay true to your goals and buy more Bitcoin.

What you said here is correct and how many traders are ready to listen to the truth? They believe in what they do, even though they fail to profit today, they believe that they can make some profit next time as long as they keep timing or monitoring the market and when to go in, but it is unfortunate that no one can outsmart the market, there are those that complain about volatility but to long-term investors volatility is a blessing to them in the future but for traders it is not the same because they want everything so quick.

Did you say big banks has major influence in Bitcoin? How sure are you about this? One can actually buy during the dip if such person has been actively investing consistently with the DCA strategy but I don't think it is nice to react to all market condition as you said to avoid unnecessary panick.
