What are you doing when the market is panicking?

[Rubel007]

Investors who have been in the market for a long time must know what is good for them. When there is a big decline in the general market, new investors become restless. Those who do not know about long-term investments will never be able to profit from their investments. In fact, there are many investors like me who wait a long time to buy Bitcoin at a low price. When the market falls, the opportunity to buy Bitcoin at a low price is not available at any other time, which is why I try to add some Bitcoin to my holdings when the market falls. But those who panic rather sell their assets at a low price at that time, which forces them to lose.

Whenever it begins to rain panic news everywhere and prices plunging deeper and more drastically than previously predicted only those who have gone through the scenario can remain composed. It is not a guesswork that one will employ for instructional design in technology integration anymore. We read history and we come to realise that no matter the circumstances, the storms will always come and they will always pass. It is thus a rule that with most price declines there exists a margin of opportunity open to us but closed to others. When it comes to gaining new experience, we always understand very well that panic has the capacity to hinder this exercise. That’s why when others are selling their assets, we take them one by one slowly and calmly, because not today we are aiming at, but that what may develop out of them tomorrow because of our beliefs.

Crypto currency market is always depend on up and down. So if we can understand in this situation, i think that it will be common issue fo cryptocurrency market. Down market is always appropriate for all cryptocurrency, because we can investment easily in this time. If we investment in down market and sell it bull market, i think that we maybe profitable in this time. But if we want to buy crypto in bull session then we can face losses from here. So i think that down market is very prefer for all cryptocurrency investors.

We are only in Q2 of 2025, and the opportunity for an uptrend is still intact.

Keep dreaming!
Until the whole thing goes away, the only uptred you will see will come from the devaluation of the USD.

In other words, we only have a little less than 4 years left in which there will be a lot of so-called black swans, and in fact, as things stand, everything will lead to the creation of a new world order whose goal is obviously to throw China out of the equation, even if that means that the US needs to conclude an alliance with Russia.

When you see how much "love" the special envoys treat the man who a few days ago fired a rocket at the children's playground and killed innocent children, then it is quite clear that there is not much difference between these two countries, only one pretends to be a democracy that respects human rights, while the other does not hide its savagery and barbarism.

In this whole story, cryptocurrencies are somewhat lucky because the greedy Dony sees an opportunity for profit in them, and to achieve this, he is ready to create a crypto wild west. Some would say "welcome to scammers paradise, duration 4 years"

I'd like to know your opinion on this:
Are you selling or buying tokens?
Has the uptrend given way to a downtrend this season?
What is your assessment of the market for the remainder of 2025?

When the market is in panic mode, I simply observe, this is the best thing to do since either buying or selling can turn out to be a big mistake, so, if I can't afford taking any risks at that very moment, I simply sit by the side and observe.

And to your second question, I won't say completely that the uptrend have completely given up, atleast because we see how bitcoin always tries to recover and get back to above $80k and every major fall below $80, this gives me the impression that we may likely see a major uptrend soon.

And as for how I see 2025 in general, this is hard to predict correctly, everything right now seems to be in the hands of Trump and the US government, Trump's decisions and successes, failures will possibly play the most important role in which way the entire crypto market will face in the rest of this year.

I think buying is the best way to do during this times depending on the reaction of the market to the current situation especially during and after trade war. When price retrace we should always expect for it to make pullbacks because crypto works that way. I think we might see an uptrend in the third or fourth quarter. And then it goes down again.

I get your other point dude, maybe you are right about what you said, where other traders' sales open up opportunities for them to make a profit, and those who buy give others the opportunity to also make a profit from their purchases.

That's really the cycle or game of our trading ecosystem in this field of the crypto space that we are in, until now that hasn't changed and maybe the only difference is that there is suddenly good and bad news that suddenly there is unexpected profit and loss in the trading category.

With a recent app, I bought a couple of tokens and Bitcoin to add to my portfolio. I dabbled in some meme coins, and they served me quite well and profited me, at least. Volatility like this is a great way to earn money in trading.

[Trongduy]

Although I took profits on 20% of my BTC holdings when 1 BTC = 100K USD, I'm still quite scared facing this crazy volatility. Compared to the best time, I've lost a lot of profit, but luckily, I haven't suffered any losses thanks to my long-term BTC DCA strategy. I still have some stablecoins, and I'm waiting a bit longer to start buying some potential altcoins with strong recovery potential. I had intended to keep these stablecoins until the end of the season to buy BTC in the crypto winter of 2026, but it's hard to ignore the opportunity from this black swan event.

You're playing it cool, just chilling and holding. And you know what? Sometimes, just holding onto those rock-solid, potential-packed tokens without hitting that sell button is a major win in itself!

That DCA strategy has you sitting pretty nicely, even with Bitcoin taking a bit of a dip from 110K dollars down to 80K dollars. Still rocking a sweet double-digit percentage profit, keeping you locked in on that 150K dollars Bitcoin target for this run. Plus, with those memecoin crazes taking a chill pill and not hogging all the cash flow from the altcoins, it's prime time for those top coins to shine as soon as Bitcoin price confirms the uptrend is back in town. Exciting times!

Patience is the key here bro, if we have that, we will be making a profit in times when others are making loss. Although if we are planning to buy BTC for long term, it does not matter if we buy at $80k or $85k, but if we are getting them cheap, then why not avail ourselves of it?

BTC is famous for this, in other there is still doubt if we ever recover from the loss or not, even with patience but if we invest in BTC for long term, its 99% profit.

Panic is human, but it's never reasonable. The market went into a collective delusional state. Trump tweaking the dial and announcing a trade war turns the belief engine that drives crypto short-circuits from cold. You are already playing with borrowed conviction if you were depending on a linear uptrend to carry into financial success

You said it yourself: the same KOLs who screamed “BTC 200K minimum” now chant “ETH is dead”. It is theater rather than analysis. Not their prediction, but the viewers' continued faith that this season follows a predetermined plot is the issue

In this market, volatility is not the exception. It is the market. Still, the same people who swear by DCA toss it out the window the second the numbers turn red. Q2 of 2025 is not the end of anything. It’s just a fork in sentiment. Liquidity flows don’t care about your feelings, but your behavior in moments like this. That’s the only edge left in a market already priced for dreams and disappointment. If the narrative is breaking, good. Real positioning then starts at that point. You had your stablecoins? Smart. But don’t buy because it’s cheap. Buy because it aligns with a broader thesis that doesn’t shatter every time Trump opens his mouth

If you are wondering: I am observing, I am neither buying or selling. Because belief collapses faster than prices, and recovery never starts with charts. It begins when people stop lying to themselves about the game they are actually engaged in

[NotATether]

I've seen this so many times, and I always looked at it as a great opportunity to buy. Honestly, I thought Bitcoin would not go down anymore during Trump's tenure because of his support, but here we are. The market is dipping, and if the market is dipping and you want to make a profit in the future, you should be at your greediest.

Of course it had to come down eventually - we are not some Ponzi scheme.

The strange thing is the circumstances in which it dropped.

While I think we can all agree that something good will eventually come out of the USA tariffs, there is no doubt it was responsible for the decline in price to many coins, and that it was no coincidence they shot up when he paused them.

[Freemind]

Of all the possible voting options, I chose "buy." But only because we can only choose one. If there had been more than one option, I would have chosen "observe" as well. A time to observe how far that panic could go in the market and then buy, once we have observed the necessary details that the panic is ending and the market can rise again. Personally, I think selling is not a plausible option, since we would lose part of our investments. But as always, it all depends on our experience and how long we can wait to observe the market and buy.

Not every change of the market environment calls for an immediate response. Often, when working on analysis and tracking the changes in numbers, there is a desire to react immediately if the numbers are low, and often we have no experience of working in these conditions. But for those people who often tend to wait or measure the information to be important when given time, the price drop is not the pale side of the storey. In other words, whenever most people become confused, we are given a chance to pause for a moment and contemplate on what the goal of storing the assets is. It is not a boast that say we are smarter than them or have better brains than them but because we have stepped on the same road of fear and know that value more often than not is not reflected in the current price.

Numerous posts, topics and articles about Bitcoin death, situations when price go down first, but in few months recover taught me to hold and nothing with crypto when market is panicking or suddenly turn red for a moment. Tactics of wait and observe always worked well for me with BTC. With altcoins this is a bit different, that is why majority of my portfolio is BTC. I also believe, if panic has already started in crypto market, it is already too late to act. Either you must spot incoming storm, or hold/keep crypto, wait and face your fate.

If you are just that new into this market then you would definitely freak out on which basing up into the actions on which it do shows specially on a dumping or bearish scenarion, but if you are someone who do have already that kind of experience and awareness on how this market works then you would definitely be having the idea on what are the things that you would gonna do. So it will be that up to you on how you do deal up with it accordingly. The key on here is to make yourself that being versatile on whatever the price it would be showing. You cant just that make yourself having those kind of conclusions that you can be able to make profits and believing that you do know on where market would be going because it will be giving out that huge disappointment.

Even «old» users in the market freak out. I think that panic usually affect only those who have fiat problems just right now. The rest only try to push price back and rebuy for as low as possible. At some point I think that this isnt a panic sale, but a greed that pushes people to get lowest possible price to buy. As people already see, experienced or heard that market is recovering always. I think that people has been familiar with crypto for so long, that there are no newbie in crypto, but there are those who havent tried earning with it. A fiat traded that took decision to try crypto market - that is not a newbie.
