Just like i wrote last concerning greed, it is mostly common found among traders, holders on the crypto market to believe that the price of certain coins will continue to rise, unfortunately it start Falling unawares.
I have being in thus situation many times, though i was just trading with a little capital. Honestly, if you are trading with just small capital, it may be difficult to close a position because the take profit rate may be far below a targeted level when prices start Falling unawares.
For example, if you are trading with $100, you may not likely close your position with just $0.5 cent profit, whereas, another trader with $500 capital may quickly Take profits with a slight price increase, at least, $4 at the same market price level with the trader that has just $100 as capital.
in a nutshell, though many traders with small capital try to close their positions but they can be hindered due to low profit margin, and they may desire a further price increase to get a tangible profit at the end of the trade.
