flash crash

[bitterguy28]

flash crashes are defined by the sudden plunge of a price of an asset but quickly corrects itself and we see this happen recently with bitcoin with it hitting $94k then rallying back up but how do the investors react to this sudden drop?

it depends on where an investor is, if he is holding a lot of bitcoins he might panic and sell immediately while some who doesn’t hold any or isn’t satisfied yet with the amount of bitcoins they hold might take this opportunity to buy some more some holders don’t even check the price so that they don’t get lured into panicking or having fomo

what do you do when the price suddenly drops?

Actually, I am not doing anything since I don't have a big hoard of Bitcoin and I have already decided the price of the asset when I would sell maybe half of what I got. So I am just immune from these crashes and I don't care and not shocked already since I am aware that Bitcoin has had been acting this way since time immemorial. I am even expecting  more crashes as Bitcoin is now gunning towards the $110K mark and into the dreamed $150K zone. But then again this can be a good opportunity to acquire more at a lesser price but definitely strong holders are not yet selling at this juncture. Buy when there is a big dip and when there is a crash...the only problem is getting the funds to do so. Maybe it is time to sell our other assets and convert them all to Bitcoin (not a good advice, of course).

Honestly, i think most people wouldn't notice flash crash until they see past price chart or news. Even if they happen to notice when it's happening, they wouldn't have time to react unless they already depostied their Bitcoin on exchange. After all, depositing Bitcoin took some time depending amount of confirmation imposed by the exchange.

what is certain is that yesterday I bought a little for the price of 94k$ and I have already made a profit for my trade, and waiting if there is a decrease again for now the flash situation is very much awaited because if we are right then short profits can also be obtained

If flash crash are the sudden change in the price of Bitcoin and quick recovery, it is a means of taking a quick profit by professional traders in the crypto market. As investors, they do have a specific price for which they want to sell for profit, while small holders might be the ones which could get affected by the sudden shift, (like me ), though, having a specific price target before selling.

A flash crash is mostly profitable to traders, and most times scalpers. They are the ones who can make a good fortune from such a situation.

I personally don't do anything because I'm not a trader who cares about such things. The fact that yesterday the price was $100k and today it is $95k is just a reflection of the market reacting to something - whether it is the liquidation of certain positions or rumors that people are obviously still reacting to.

I've written it many times, $100k will be a point that will be hard to leave behind for a while - but that's completely normal and has happened with every similar barrier, whether it's $1000 or $10 000, there really isn't much difference. People simply see that we have reached a peak at this point, and the time that comes is usually when the most money is spent - so we can assume that everyone who has some coins will sell some for the upcoming holidays.

I think "crash" should only be used to refer to sharp price drops, for example -20%, meaning that only when BTC price drops from $100K to $80K can we assume that BTC is having problems or the economy is facing a black swan event. Currently, BTC is still being held above $95K and we don't need to worry too much. BTC has been more successful than we expected.

I'm not taking any action at this time, I've bought enough crypto so I have no plans to accumulate more. I'm ready to face any market fluctuations and hold my crypto until the market has clear signs of a trend reversal. If BTC price and many ALTs price decrease right now, it's just the necessary correction before the market explodes again in 2025.

Yeah this "flash crash" thing despite other investors panicking but few are still making profits in this event through trading in futures and for DCA'ers they might filled additional coins right now grabbing this perfect opportunity to increase holdings and stuff.

I usually don't do anything when there's a flash crash, and sometimes I only find out about it afterwards
They're normal in the market

But a flash crash can liquidated my positions in DeFi loans
So I need to stay alert, or leave a good health position

Sometimes a flash crash can be good if you leave an order, for example, you can leave a order to buy BTC at 90k, maybe a flash crash can trigger this order for you

[electronicash]

I can't say this  flash crash. because the flash crash already happened in Dec 5 where the price dips to 90k, this time around, the bears are retesting that support line this is why i believe the price may just retest that 90k again and if no breakouts will happen, you can then expect a  bullish market again.

so we'll just see what will happen so far. the best possible scenario is just the price will still be keeping is sideways ranging from 90k to 100k for a while until the bids are raised.

As for the price we can see that sometimes it can drop sharply and knowing this we can only consider how fast our position in the certain market can change. This situation creates a window of strategic refresh without going for hasty decisions. Some may consider it a chance of gaining while others do not get worried, this is, however there are people who panic when they see them and end up losing.

The bottom line is that each action that one is capable of is always part of a process of trying to understand this market and capitalise on the possibilities out there. In conclusion I can't say this is a "flash crash". That's what it would be called if Bitcoin's price fell below $80k quickly.

I was a bit surprised when I opened the market for the first time and saw the estimated value of my assets had dropped quite far. Then I looked at the market, oohhh, it turned out that there was a fairly large correction. Well, fortunately I'm not a short-term or future trading player, so I don't want to bother with it. Because this is quite a common thing for us with market correction or this flash crash. Just relax.

what do you do when the price suddenly drops?

Nothing, just watching.
Actually I want to buy some altcoins that are crashing very deep, top altcoins. Unfortunately, I don't have extra money for that. So just watching. Let's see what will happen in this weekend.
