What do you do when the market is bleeding to avoid stress?

[luckyledger]

I hold more BTC now than I did last month, that's because I added to my supply when the market crashed a few days ago.... Even if the crypto market goes into a bearish phase again and drops below $50k for BTC, I'll be confused because the money allocation for crypto purchases is no longer there... maybe I'll be a little stressed when that happens,

I'm curious, what will you do to avoid stress due to unexpected market movements??

Definitely playing computer games if I have the time, its clear that we are seeing a lot of great games lately and it has always been evolving so I think its going to never end. I am nearly 35 now, and I have been playing these games all my life and I do not think that I am going to end it any time soon, its really fun and its not ending and its really fun. I know that it takes time to do any of this, and I know that its not easy when you are a married man like me, but whenever I have some time to cool off and relax, I just open up whatever game I like at that time and play it for a few hours and I am good as new.

If the market is red I will drink coffee and hang out with friends to relieve stress, because it will last a long time. Maybe I will go with my family to the beach to enjoy the waves while waiting for the market to recover.

You don't need much to do, it very simple , just take it as a normal bitcoin market behavior that has been happening many times over the years. You see, when the market goes against your position or turn bearish, you don't need think about it just be who are and keep on moving, it is actually a normal market scenario that has been happening since the inception of Bitcoin.
You need to have this at the back of your mind, 'MARKET will always come back stronger'!. Like me, I don't get carried away by the thought of the market during wether bear or bull but focus on the Bitcoin next moves.
I don't panic on my position, I believe that the market will always come back.

OP I would have nothing to fear as long as money used is my spare cash and funds I need not worry about. Already I have the idea of using or investing with spare funds so what's the point me being afraid or worried when market is down. When the market is down, I see it as opportunity to invest more which I would definitely do.

Sometimes, the market can be very funny you know. Your expectations as an investor at certain period of time to take profit being dashed by the market conditions. It is very stressful and draining. This is why it is good to have alternative source of income to back up yourself so that you don't panic sell out of fear that you might lose out.

In this situation, if you already have investment that have drained down, you would have to hold if your investment is in Bitcoin because it would definitely bounce back but with time and you just have to be patient with time.

When i'm handling stress from market swings due to unexpected market movements, I focus on the big picture and the long-term growth of blockchain. I also spread my investments outside of crypto to reduce risk and increase my expectation instead of anxiety...If BTC dips below $50k today, i'll just have to remind myself that ups and downs are normal in investments and consistency and being patient usually pays off sooner or later.

Thank you, the positive response... many posts here are recommending to relax and distract ourselves from the cryptocurrency market... I know it will throw away our emotions towards the market movement, but the stressful thing will come back after we return home after the vacation we did...

I mean, is there a way to train us to be able to throw away our emotions when the market is bleeding?? We still do our activities as usual, but our emotions towards the cryptocurrency market must be turned off.

It should be the combination of responsibility for your well-being, trust in your analysis, and determination to get things to the finish line even if it seems that it won't work That's my opinion. Risk will always be there, so we should use the funds we are okay to spend in our grand schemes.

Others say that we should be emotionless, but it's really hard to do when we check the price and then see the market bleeding. But I guess we need to think that the market will not go and be bleeding forever, sooner or later it will bounce back. So let's just be positive then, maybe we have other things to do like hobbies or sports to involved ourselves with just to get out of the crypto market and not be bothered by the price going down.

And once we mature enough, this bleeding will be like normal to us and then we look at it positive way. Continue to accumulate as much as we can, see our wallet grows and buy and then just be a holder.

It's hard, but it's possible with time and effort put into it. By staying responsible and learning from our mistakes made in the past, and by keeping a cool head throughout the process, one can achieve the results that would satisfy him.

Emotion control and discipline would really be the key on which these things could really be acquired through real experience this is why it would really be that obvious that people who do really be able to make those right decisions or actions are to those people who do have that real experience towards the market in compared into those people who had been just
new into the market on which they dont really know on what they are doing. This is why it would really be that recommended that active dealing and engagement would really be
the key for you to have that self learn.

I think I've become desensitized after experiencing at least two full cycles between bull and bear market. Not sure since when I've become like this, but I believe seeing my portfolio went -75% and then recover the next cycle makes me think I shouldn't overestimate myself and just DCA and collect Bitcoin. As of now, I don't even follow Bitcoin price movement minute by minute and if I plan to sell some Bitcoin I'd put a stop loss order or something similar. Obviously I prepare another wallet for short-term purpose, hence why I still have a notification settings on my phone for short-term movement, but I'm not actively monitoring it.

I second the opinion that you should use the money you can afford to lose, since excessive stress usually comes from overspending and a mistake in budgeting. I do agree that it's hard to not feel anything when you see your wealth decrease in real time though. CMIIW.

Controlling emotions is not easy, it takes experience and good knowledge so that we can control our emotions, especially investing in the crypto world, a market that is always fluctuating. It takes a lot of experience so that we can stay calm when the market is corrected.

As the saying goes, invest as much as you can afford to lose, because trading is all about risk.
After buying the dip and the market tends to still keep going down and you likely run out of capital to purchase more, it is as simple as holding on the ones you've bought until the market grows to a profitable range and you sell off.
Though it may likely make you feel unhappy and fearful when your realizing losses and red candle. But to avoid stress and get peace of mind, just hold on till market goes up and you sell off otherwise you sell at loss.

[MUGNIA]

I usually stay away from exchanges so that I am not tempted to shop again by putting emergency funds into crypto (it often happened to me in the past) I will focus on finding free coins, to increase the supply and capital to buy coins again, if there are any that can be traded, or find activities in the real world by looking for real work

As a long-term holder of BTC I prefer not to react to the current bad situation of the market even If I show my concerns about it here on this or another forum but still my mind is calm because I try to find the reason behind the dump and if that's temporary then I know the market will recover over time and if it's not temporary then I prepare myself for a bit longer dump.

I also think sometimes that what if the market goes into the bearish cycle and I have to wait for another bullish cycle? In such a case what I will do, well first of all I would wish that the money I have invested will not be needed by me in future. If that happens then I can wait for the next bullish cycle but currently I have some plans to use my invested money.
