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

[Zaka1221]

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.

Speculations, volatility, and analysts are related from the early days of Bitcoin because things have never been easy. People have never been standing alongside Bitcoin; they have always made the opportunity to have their concerns, even if mostly they were never right, but they try their best to have rumors about the existence of Bitcoin, but it's staying and doing impressively while it's never been easy to predict about price in the short and long run because anything is possible.
Recently, big institutes have big buyings. This increases the fear factor because their strategy is always  increase instability and make good profits with their huge capitals, just like mentioned about MicroStrategy selling more than 1000. This creates serious panic, and people start to sell their stocks. Even many of those well aware of these tactics make no reaction, but the market feels it, and the price slides. Now it is going to be part of this community. I am not sure whether it's going to be big below.

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.

It's only an advise that people should not get tired of holding their bitcoin especially this period. We know that we all have different reasons for coming into crypto space but we try to learn from mistakes of the past and we try not to repeat it the second or third or more time as the case may be. Again, bitcoin is not just like any other cryptocurrencies because it is better than them all and can be trusted better than every other Altcoins. This is why bitcoin lovers came to advise for continuing to hold instead of selling because of the price drop.

Of course everyone has the right to buy or sell at all time, but at the end, what is your gain? Will you be proud of your bitcoin practice or will you regret tossing your coins around? Holding further will give you more fulfilment and makes you more likely to have a good profit than what you could have had.

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

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.

In actually fact I can not guarantee if this Speculation reliably be trusted because as much as we are growing our knowledges with experiences, so also it is also becoming obvious that the psychological factors on the WEAK investors as you may describe it does not seem that effective like that anymore unlike then that bitcoin has not been this popular.

The influence of the whalers on the plebes has also seem fading out that the community cares less about them (whalers) while the hope of their investment looks towards the future.
Nevertheless there is still suspicious category of users that will be vulnerable to this scenario. It is a fact.

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.

This is why liquidity matters, and if there is a very low one, then it is going to move even further. If the liquidity is low, that means even a half-billion-dollar move could suddenly change the direction very easily; if there are huge volumes and liquidity, then billions can't move it in a day.

During bull periods, we go up so much, and we have so many buyers that someone selling half a billion dollars at that moment won't make a difference to us; or when we are in a bear market, and it crashes very quickly, someone buying half a billion dollars would not make any change, and it will continue to go down. But when we are stable and very low liquidity and zero volatility going on at any moment, someone coming in and making something that huge would create a huge volatility and change the price so much.

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

It's difficult to determine the true situation because institutional investors who are selling at least 50 BTC and the owner of a Bitcoin wallet that went live after 10 years of holding cannot be classified as weak hands. However, one thing is certain we are in a period of market correction, where a significant price decline always happens in the entire crypto market.

The early adopters of Bitcoin are still holding their assets to this time will not selling, while the weak investors are selling at a loss, not being able to afford holding for a longer period of time.

Not all early Bitcoin holders are not selling, and the institutional dump is also includes while retail investors dump does not impact the BTC price.

Now, if the same holders have to continue in this process without selling and eventually imagine a 30-day change, does it signify we are already going to experience the bottom?

Whether or not retail investors sell, Bitcoin will dump, and the bottom price has not yet been reached.

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.

The ups and downs of Bitcoin didn't start today, and for any Bitcoiner to survive and hodl for a long-term, they should not feel uncomfortable with those factors that the market is characterized by, bitcon hodling should be backed up with patience, people should not expect the market to favour them all the time, Bitcoin is a volatile asset, which is not expected to be stable in price, every investment has it's own concepts, the dips and the ups are like usual thing with Bitcoin, and for that, and every Bitcoin investor is supposed to see dips as a period to take more action on his or her Bitcoin portfolio by adding more stash and hodl for a long-term.

Yes, the fluctuate of Bitcoin doesn't begin today it has started for long term ago if one definitely regarded Bitcoin as long term investment if people where to survive they should hold on for long term not for Short term people should not be afraid  with fact that the market is not stable the dip and decreasing of Bitcoin are normal thing and investors is supposed observe dip when the time is more serious Bitcoin portfolio, Bitcoin should always be a target for long term investment not for Short term trading.

This is a universal rule of the Bitcoin market. Strong investors keep themselves in control at all times and monitor the market and hold their Bitcoins, while weak investors are always afraid of FOMO, thinking that the market may go down further in the future. They basically sell their Bitcoins in the market. The strong will hold on to the market and the weak will sell, this has been the case since the beginning of Bitcoin. The strong know about market manipulation, while the weak are always afraid of the nature of the market. This is the main difference between all investors or holders and weak investors.

[Issa56]

When the market comes down, those who are truly investors are never afraid, but they plan to invest more boldly.

If you are an investor, then bitcoin price going isnt even suppose to worry you, because you already understand what bitcoin is all about, and you already know about the volatile nature of bitcoin, real investor’s know that no matter how low bitcoin price goes, it’s just going to bounce back, so their is nothing they going to panic about, people like this are always looking for opportunity to buy more bitcoin. Investors don’t panic, some of them are always praying for the market to crash, so that they will be able to buy more bitcoin during that period.

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.

I would say that each bear cycle improves on the predecessor, I think we've seen the bottom already, I wouldn't believe BTC is going below the bottom of $57k, although I'm not ruling out any possibility. Historical logs might not apply in recent times, if Trump does not use his policies to manipulate Bitcoin again in this Q4, the trend may as well be broken, and I hope it is.

People who are investing and holding Bitcoin from earlier and even now are those who've come to understand the cycles to the extent they take advantage of it. The weaker hands are the ones sacrificed since they sell at a loss, while the opportunists buy up the abandoned positions of weaker hands and hold until the prices come soaring again. The cycle will repeat itself and reward holders.

Not everyone is aware of all these. There are lots of people who knows very little about Bitcoin and only invested because of of the success stories of people they have hearing, they are only interested in making fast gains that's why whenever Bitcoin suddenly starts dumping they begin to freak out and panic and in the end they even fail to accomplish their motive of gaining fast profit. A good investor never let short term price movements to affect their plan or decision making and it's how we differentiate good investors from those who are in it for quick profits.

Only a few understand Bitcoin and accept it's volatility that no matter what happens they are never going back on their plan. But there's a point of yours I can't agree with, saying that Bitcoin will always bounce back no matter what can be a bit misleading even though historically it have proven that it is likely to bounce back from any dip it still doesn't guarantee that it will keep doing the same.  I'm not in any way doubting Bitcoin, it is most certainly the best investment out there but we still need to treat it as an investment with every possibility.

This is to explain how experience plays a significant role in Bitcoin hodling. Having a good understanding of Bitcoin investment and hodling, one often feels scared and panicked to sell when witnessing market movement. However, over time, one becomes familiar with the uncertainty of Bitcoin and learns to remain calm, knowing that there will be a time when the price of Bitcoin will increase rapidly and significantly. No matter how critical the bear market appears, it is better to stay calm because selling due to a price drop often leads to regret over the decision to sell Bitcoin at a loss.

There is a good way to make a profit by investing in Bitcoin and this will only happen if you are doing it for a long time because if you have bought Bitcoin at a high price, we can make a profit even when the price is low. They think that it is just to give us another chance and to get rid of people who are not able to hold Bitcoin. Because here the real difficulty is the risk, which either makes a person patient or puts himself in a loss and gives up the profit that comes. They already have capital, so they wait for the price to come down and then they invest their own capital and earn more profit. Such people think and invest very well. Bitcoin has given people a lot of opportunities this year and those who have fought their minds on it are succeeding.

Investors who conduct sufficient research on Bitcoin and are aware of market conditions will never panic. The person who invests solely for profit, he will lose control during a bearish market. And without taking the right steps according to the situation, they are willing to sell their funds. But a true investor is capable of making the right decisions even in the most critical times.

If you have a specific source of income, you will be able to remain patience and calm. Otherwise, you will fail. Because many choose investment as the only source of earning money. This forces them to make decisions according to the situation.

Without too much research, having a conviction that Bitcoin would remain progressive is enough for anyone to keep holding. Strong hands aware of Bitcoin's potential that's why they buy more and hold, even the ones who withdrew some of their holdings don't fail to buy back and keep holding.

 So far Bitcoin is concerned, it would forever remain a long term asset, so buying and holding won't seize to be the best option. Those who buy for quick profits are doing it at their own risk cause at the end, long term holders are mostly favoured than those who choose to sell at lose, thinking they made profits.

Everyone invests only for profit; that is not the part that makes someone a good trader or a bad trader (or investor). The part is that if you are a newbie, you could be rushing or worried about every move, and that is understandable and would not be ok. However, if you are careful and if you have been around for a long time, then you are going to end up with patience that would only come with experience; in that case, the prices could be moving any way they want, and you would not be worried about it.

The reality is that we are not going to get that much of a loss if we are a veteran trader or an investor. Because, simply, we would know that big crashes only mean that it is a good chance to buy, and the sudden increases mean that it could reverse and are a good time to sell. For example, if you end up buying at 100k, and it goes to 120k, you can sell 100k worth, keep the 20k, and then you do not care if it goes up or down, because you took your money out. Do this a few times, and you have an entire 100k stack, with zero money from initial investment, all from pure profits. Those are big numbers, but adjust to whatever balance you have, and do this, because that is what veterans do.

Being a holder of Bitcoin should make you not to be fearful of the bottom of Bitcoin as you know the price would not say low forever but it will pump back up again in the future hence the bottom of the market is a good buying opportunity for all holders. Any holder that is not buying Bitcoin when the market is down should have a better reason like they are out of money or already have bought enough already but if they have the money and do not have enough Bitcoin bought previously then they should not be acting like sellers that are afraid but should be buying more Bitcoin and continue to hold whole they wait on the market to recover.

One of the major difference between the weak investors and the early Bitcoin adopters is that the weak investors doesn't have that enough confidence in the market as compared to the early adopters. The early adopters understood the market at its infant stage, and they are those who make calculated moves with their holdings in other to make more profit. The early investors sees the bear market as a period to buy/acquire more Bitcoins in a discounted price, while the weak investors fear the loss of their investment capital, and this is a tool used by the early/big investors to shake off the Bitcoin holdings from the hands of the weak investors.

We all have different temperament and different reaction to the market. For an investor that have not really made money from the market will be slightly emotional when they see the price of Bitcoin falling in price.

Those that are holding Bitcoin should continue accumulating Bitcoin while the weak holders should motivate themselves so they don't have to be confused if the price of Bitcoin eventually falls. It is true that it's not easy to hold Bitcoin but every investors need to be prepared for anything that will happen in the market.

It is absolutely right the rapid price increase has increased the popularity of Bitcoin, so the volatility of Bitcoin is nothing new, it is absolutely normal. An investor's long-term investment plan and patience with confidence are very important to hold Bitcoin. As time changes, the price of Bitcoin will sometimes increase and sometimes decrease, this process will continue continuously, it is absolutely normal and for those investors who patiently or confidently buy more and more Bitcoin during market volatility and patiently hold it for the future, which gradually leads them to success, it is very important not to be quickly disappointed by the volatility of Bitcoin.
