Strong Hands are Holding, are we set for the Button?

[Bitcoin_people]

When the market comes down, those who are truly investors are never afraid, but they plan to invest more boldly. Investing in Bitcoin for a long time is a future asset for every brave person that they keep. But when it comes to a timid and scared investor, they do not want to hold Bitcoin during those times, but sell it at a loss due to the market situation and volatility. This is a clear picture, not all investors hold it and not all sell it, but those who cannot properly prolong their plans, sell it in bad market conditions. Those who are big investors never plan to sell, but they keep their Bitcoins thinking about the future. But those who think that they will sell it when they make a small profit, when they face a time of market volatility, they sell it at a loss. So there are two categories of people in Bitcoin, those who are brave are rewarded in the future and those who are afraid never benefit.

I think most people who are investing in Bitcoin right now already have a good understanding of how to hold onto their Bitcoin during a bearish market. Even though there might be beginner investors who still panic easily in certain market situations, after two or three experiences, they’ll definitely do better. There will always be people selling and buying; our job is to hold onto the Bitcoin we have until we reach our set target.

It takes someone with experience and knowledge of the market to keep buying all the way down, today we see that the price of bitcoin went below a remarkable benchmark price of $63,000 to someone around $62k+ currently this price created another buying wave for investors with the cash flow to buy at discount price like this.


But such opportunities is clear to someone with knowledge of the bitcoin market, those without experience will be scared of the market and thinking the dip will keep going dipper as the day goes by.

I believe that if you really want to make profit in bitcoin investment, you have to understand that sometimes their will be a dip in price, so you don't have to bother yourself about the deep. I believe those that are known as strong hands are those that understands bitcoin and have been investing in it for a long time and this is not the first time this is happening to them, so they believe that the price will still rise. Right now most strong hands are accumulating more bitcoin, because to them, they are buying on discount, so they will still hold it and believe that it will rise in the long run.  Infact the whole idea of bitcoin investment is to accumulate and hold it for a long time, and hopefully make profit.

There are even some old investors who’s interest is only on making quick profit in bitcoin, it’s not like they’re still inexperienced when it comes to bitcoin investment, this set of investors panic and will sell during when market is going down because they are afraid of further losses. For a real investor, his mindset is focused on not making quick profit but to invest for long term success. They knew that during market downturn is a great opportunity for them to accumulate more bitcoin at a more reduced price and hold for a potential gain when the price rises rather than selling at a loss.

Investment of Bitcoin is by determination, if you're not determined in bitcoin, you can't invest, so i know very well that bitcoin investment once you're determined, their's nothing will make you not to invest even though we are on dip or not...in the aspects of the profit we make in bitcoin it's based on your investment durability, those who goes into short-term investment doesn't really make a profit...

I believe those that are known as strong hands are those that understands bitcoin and have been investing in it for a long time and this is not the first time this is happening to them,

Actually, most of the people have understood bitcoin properly, but i know very well that you can't know about Bitcoin 100% before you invest, the more you're investing the more you're having the knowledge of bitcoin...

[LUCKMCFLY]

We've seen corporate companies selling, but they're taking profits. Weaker investors sometimes even sell at a loss.
Ultimately, we can describe now as a discount period for Bitcoin, so whether you're a weak investor or a strong one, it's a good time to buy. At almost half the price of 127k, we can actually see it as a 50% discount.
Of course, it could fall even further, but considering the 127k price, it seems attractive to me.

That's the mindset we should maintain: we're buying at a very good price. The fact that the all-time high (ATH) was quite high, double the previous one, presents a real opportunity.

Given that BTC always surprises us, we have to imagine that when BTC rises again, it will be a much more lucrative ATH than the last one. So, right now, we should all be strong players and buy BTC.

All the tools are there. We have the dollar-cost averaging (DCA) method. We have to buy gradually and with great discipline every time the price corrects or dips, keeping the objective clear. I don't think there are any easier options.

That's it, only the stong hands can tell thr sweetness of dip market,  newbies see dip as set back while strong hands see it as an opportunity to buy more and hodl for long. You can't gain in bitcoin investment if you don't have the mind to hold for long,  the longer you hold more you profit.

Dip should be seen as another chance to buy bitcoin,  bitcoin is for everyone and dip gives you that ability to buy,dip don't bother me, I don't even panic, I don't sell in dip, if I have money I buy more Bitcoin to add to my already accumulated bitcoin in my wallet, bitcoin is the future and is good we give it a try and hodl for long.

[Out of mind]

According to the current situation, the market position that is seen in this is that strong investors are patiently holding their Bitcoins, while weak investors are selling them after seeing the bad position of the market. Whale investors never think about the bad position of the market, rather they do not have this thought because they have a plan for the future. But small investors who have less patience and fail to control their emotions are the ones who sell at a loss in the bad market situation. Those who invested in Bitcoin in the early days are still holding their assets, they have maintained their investment even in the bad market situation. But weak and fearful investors cannot hold their investment for a long time when the market situation starts to fall, they sell. Those who hold Bitcoin never plan to sell, but those who do not have such a mindset invest and sell within a short time.

[EarnOnVictor]

We can not tell if the bear season is going to end or not so what we should be doing now as an investor is to keep accumulating Bitcoin instead of dancing or playing around and for traders they should either keep predicting when to buy or do what they knows what to do best which is short term goal. I do not get what you meant by " mostly not below $50k before we completely exited" whether Bitcoin go below $50k or not I will still keep my hope and fate high and strong.

I like the accumulating part, but we should be sensible about still. If not that Bitcoin is nearing $60,000, I wouldn't have bought that idea, not even with DCA. But at the current prices, what more can anyone lose that can be substantial? I don't think there is any. At worst, Bitcoin could hit $50,000; let's just say $45,000, which is highly unlikely.

The difference is so tiny, so accumulating at current levels is not a bad idea. Maybe a decent DCA approach would be cool, yet I fear for continued selling, especially if August candle closes negative. The August candle is already almost completely erased.

Those who hold Bitcoin never plan to sell, but those who do not have such a mindset invest and sell within a short time.

Most new investors today can be described as inexperienced, they buy out of FOMO and it’s not uncommon for many to jump on the bandwagon simply because Bitcoin is becoming increasingly well known and so many people are making huge profits from investing in Bitcoin, to the point where they decide to enter the market without adequate knowledge or even an understanding of Bitcoin cycles. This is what causes them to sell their Bitcoin holdings so easily, especially those who bought when Bitcoin was above $100k, most of them have likely already sold, convinced that Bitcoin is a scam. I call this an investor with a trader’s mindset.

In reality, a decline is normal, it happens in every cycle, no matter what. Just like in the previous cycle, Bitcoin dropped to an extreme low, hitting the low tens of thousands of dollars, more precisely $16k. Right now, no one knows for sure what Bitcoin lowest price will be. The one thing we can control is our accumulation, the more the price drops, the more we can maximize our purchases. All of this stems from our trust in Bitcoin and a clear understanding of its potential and future benefits.

[Aanuoluwatofunmi]

One thing I discovered about the strong hands is their ability to always identify an emerging market trend, whereby they could invest in bitcoin and hold, while some of us that are individuals don't even consider some market strategy that could be profitable upon our decision to invest strategically, until we can identify and know some of the secrets behind this institutional investors, we may only be seeing all their moves without knowing why they are taking such.

[Just Say]

Obviously, not everyone will be holding at the same time; not every investor will be selling. This is why we have both the giant holders who are whales/Institutional investors, and we also have the small-scale investors or individuals.

Holding through times of bear is not for everyone including the ones that are quick to ascert that they are capable of holding through all the downs and ups that they are expected to experience on Thier way yo reaching Thier investment goal.

The best way to remain consistent in holding even in times when a lot of people are selling is to treat your investment as though it's not yours. By that, it means that regardless of the quantity of bitcoin you're holding, as the value goes down, reduce how often you take a lot at it and instead, increase on your accumulation stack. If you've agreed that you're only going to touch your holding after a set out year when bitcoin must have gotten to a particular value, just stay true to that plan and don't be pushed to selling too soon or else you risk selling at a loss and leaving in regret ever after.

The same way holding through the time of bear not being for everyone, the same way as holding through the time of bull as both seasons comes with it's challenges but overcoming it until your expected target should be the goal, as it will give you a different feeling of fulfillment. I can never forget series of stories of those who sold way too soon in the past, i know that some must have made few profits while others at lost and they all ended in regrets because Bitcoin is doing pretty well, the storyline would have been different if they were more patient and that alone should be something one can learn from and stick to a plan that will leave a good memories.

Investors have their own challenges in both boom and bust periods but you take note those who are smart and know the ins and outs of the market are the ones who can overcome those challenges and reach their desired goals. We can say that those who are committed to long-term investments ignore what people are saying on social media during market downturns and invest patiently and systematically.

Recently we learned that the information of approximately 13000 members was leaked through Shipmonk, a shipping service provider for Trezor and before that, the cold card was hacked, which has led to a slight bearish sentiment in the BTC market. It is true those who sold too early in the past sold their Bitcoins out of ignorance and it seems to me many of them did not know how to keep their Bitcoins safe, which led to early Bitcoin users being scammed, therefore only those who invest boldly and patiently today can earn returns from their investments.

Although if we have to observed, each bear market is very different and as time goes by, we might have matured as it become less severe in terms of percentage.

However, we can't say that 55% might be the number for this year, or 57k is the bottom. And if we look again at the historical logs, the final and the lowest low could be seen in Q4 2026.

There's a pattern when it comes to the actual percentage drop for the price of Bitcoin during the bear market.
If you will compare to the percentage drop during the 2018 and 2022 bear market, there's a drop. In 2018, Bitcoin dropped to as low as 85%, but in 2022, it dropped only by 77% and I know that it's just a small sample size, but if that continues, we might be seeing a much lower drop for Bitcoin. Heck the 55% drop that we've seen might be the low of this bear market. We don't know of course.

Bitcoin is up 1% month to date which is a bit surprising knowing we are in the mid of August already - a month where it has been a bearish month for Bitcoin. I agree with what you said though that every bear market is different and the same thing could be applied to bull market. There's a chance that we've already seen the bottom, or we might've not. One thing must be done though if you're an investor - accumulate as many Bitcoin as possible.

I still predict that the bear market will end in October of 2026, so there's a chance that we might see the low there before it gradually recovers.

Just because it reaches "around" 80% doesn't mean that it will happen the same way again. We do not have to drop that much; we could drop "only" 70%, for example, as well; we do not know exactly when it will stop. In fact, if you look at every four-year cycle, the bear market dropped a lot less than the previous one, so we could safely say that we are not going to end up with a drop that bad; we are going to end up with a good return without a doubt.

I think we should be considering the fact that 70% is very likely this time around. And if you think about it, 125k was the peak, which makes 10% of that 12.5k and times three that, you get 37.5k, which is quite possible and could be rounded to something like 40k as well. Which is why most people who are adamant that the four-year cycle will happen again, just like it did all the time, including me, we think that under 50k will happen one day or another, maybe not right now, but that is going to happen.

All the tools are there. We have the dollar-cost averaging (DCA) method. We have to buy gradually and with great discipline every time the price corrects or dips, keeping the objective clear. I don't think there are any easier options.

Not buying now or even more now is a sign or weakness and lack of interest, unless you don't have discretionary income to buy and keep it on a consistent level.

Even if the price of Bitcoin doesn't surpass the orevioyATH price, but goes back to it, I mean the previous ATH price, then it will be a good for those who were buying and building with all mabberuof consistency.
With the DCA strategy, I see nothing can stop any serious Bitcoin investor, nothing at all. If he is able to figure out his discretionary, the it's an Express buying. Bitcoin might delay now, but we know it's fluctuating power, and that shouldn't be a reason why some will fear to buy. Ft following history, Bitcoin has always done better in creating an all time new price, and we hope that this time shouldn't be different for bay reason. Buy and HODL.

[AVE5]

Are the strong hands holding while the weak ones are selling at a loss? Is this the actual scenario?

It's usually most of speculations according to analysts especially during when there's visible or at any up or down trends volatilities that that really have emotional and manipulative influences on investor's or enthusiasts.
Example; as Strategy recently sold off 1,638 from their portfolio which psychologically tends to inspire Fomo on beginners or short term goals of investor's which influences them to  sell at panic due to the speculation that price will drop or is already dropping just after the strong institution as Strategy holding one of the largest amount of bitcoin sold theirs.

[mirakal]

Nobody knows what the bottom price will be and from my experience the last bear market in 2022, the bottom was in November. This time it can happen before or after November which means that the price will still dip below $57k.

I feel this is the best time to DCA and forget about what the chart is showing because if the bear market is over, you wouldn't get bitcoin at a cheap price like this.

Until we don't get to see the last month's price of bitcoin this year, no one can tell that what will be the bottom price. Bitcoin can still surprise us even on the days we least expect it, it happened already before, so its still possible to happen again in the next months or years ahead.

For now, seeing the  market highly unstable, DCA should be the main focus. Don't get too stuck with bitcoin price, it will only make us desperate seeing its continuous drop. But look at the positive side, bitcoin creates a perfect market entry when its price is bearish.

[STT]

Absolute knowledge no but BTC price now fell to hard ground first broken long ago, BTC is where it first got its high pricing five and a half years ago.
  Its a fair pullback and there's some long term volume in this area plus consider the dollar of 2021 is really not near to the value dollar has retained in 2026.

  So nominally we recognize a price but acknowledge value lost in Dollar over five years and we are in fact even lower already then people realize at first glance.  This is the deceptive power of inflation & you are worse off then you think hence the % pullback figures people mention are higher still.

[Merit.s]

But when it comes to a timid and scared investor, they do not want to hold Bitcoin during those times, but sell it at a loss due to the market situation and volatility.

I think most people who are investing in Bitcoin right now already have a good understanding of how to hold onto their Bitcoin during a bearish market. Even though there might be beginner investors who still panic easily in certain market situations, after two or three experiences, they’ll definitely do better. There will always be people selling and buying; our job is to hold onto the Bitcoin we have until we reach our set target.

One thing that I have understood is that no matter the phase of the market, people will always buy and sell since we all have our different reasons for coming on board the cryptospace.

However, those who understand how bitcoin works and sees it as a long term asset and store of value overtime wouldn't sell when they haven't accumulated their expected target. This is the best time to buy and grow your bitcoin portfolio.

[coinrifft]

Until we don't get to see the last month's price of bitcoin this year, no one can tell that what will be the bottom price. Bitcoin can still surprise us even on the days we least expect it, it happened already before, so its still possible to happen again in the next months or years ahead.

And that is what Bitcoin market from the very beginning, it's volatile and we don't know how the price will moved. Even in short term, it can go either direction. Just like what we have seen, it goes down below $63k and in the next 24 hours, almost touching $64k.

For now, seeing the  market highly unstable, DCA should be the main focus. Don't get too stuck with bitcoin price, it will only make us desperate seeing its continuous drop. But look at the positive side, bitcoin creates a perfect market entry when its price is bearish.

Not only the main focus, but it's the only strategy that really works in this kind of market movement. This strategy fits in wherein you don't have to be bothered by the price. All you have to is to consistently buy it every week or every month or whatever fits your budget and hold for a long time.
