What are you doing when the market is panicking?

[enwi]

Choosing Bitcoin as the main investment in cryptocurrency investment is the most correct choice, Bitcoin as the main coin in crypto will not make us lose when we are patient to hold it. When the price of Bitcoin drops, we should not panic, stay relaxed and never sell at a loss. But sometimes we also need something that may be more challenging, namely by choosing several alternative coins that have good potential. But all that requires proper analysis, and that is difficult.

I fully support your decision to make Bitcoin your primary choice as it is one of the most established and widely accepted cryptocurrencies out there. It should also be noted that when every market has its pulling faces or if you can put it as time of turbulences, take your time because time is on your side. Some participants have also benefited from being passive and patience enough to wait for the opportune time. But it is also normal that one would seek other opportunities in the same way if someone is inclined towards a possibility that is budding in the process. To decide on other promising assets is not a task easy due to the need to read the situation well. However, the fact of your choice to remain working with Bitcoin is quite indicative of maintaining digital assets on a more fixed manner.

We are only in Q2 of 2025, and the opportunity for an uptrend is still intact. I have a feeling that the market situation right now is quite similar to May 2021: everyone is pessimistic, but the market will recover and reach a new ATH in Q4 of the same year right after the trade war was settled and the economy was eased. I really hope history will repeat itself, and the most deserving investors will have the opportunity to take profits while the rest are busy FOMOing and buying at any price.

You are right, I was also optimistic that BTC could reach $150k at least in 2025 and I am still confident that the second peak is on its way but after reading this post, I realize, the more we observe market, read news about China and USA, the more intense and critical things will look while they are not.

I think it's all drama, while it is not, but still recovery is possible, not impossible,, from here, it indeed is a black swan event, which really came early, while I was expecting it to come around Q4 of 2025.

Well, speaking of you relating this event to some event in 2021, can you share more details like how the market was and things back in there, I was not investing, trading, and speculating at that time although I joined the forum in Jan 2021 but I was not that active to know the macro or micro economics of the market. Hope you will shed some light or resources, I would love to read +1 for the effort and knowledge.

I also have confidence that the price of bitcoin will rise again this year. There is no doubt because maybe at this time bitcoin seems to be struggling and having difficulty rising in the previous week, but today the price of bitcoin has returned to approaching $ 90K.
The condition of the tariff role between China and the US does affect the crypto market, whether this is a manipulation or not, we will just have to wait and see

When the market panics, you have to be patient. If you panic along with the market, then there is a high chance of losing. Because when the market makes a big dump in a short time, you have to believe that it will recover again quickly, and when there is a lot of pumping at some point, you have to believe that the market will decrease again very quickly. So, you have to keep yourself away from panic and make decisions with a cool head. It is never profitable to jump into the market in panic or sell your holdings.

Yeap, Market create the panic situation by the whales to make us panic and also sell by the panic. And if we do that, then we only do the process of increasing the money of the big whales with our funds.
So we have to keep our self-control at this time and at the same time try to keep in mind that if the investment is in Bitcoin, even if the bull run does not come this season, we will be able to recover and make more profits in the next season.

In a certain period of time when the market fluctuates, it is very easy for people to worry. Still, we have to realise that it happens in the market and that in most of the aspects, it will bounce back. This is because responding with what one feels may just worsen the situation since hasty actions usually do not yield good outcomes. As for me, instead of perishing in the chaos, the best strategy to stay alive in the long term is first of all to stay calm. When the market price fluctuates even in extremes, then being realistic and behaving according to what one understands deep down will create additional entrance to make afterwards further gains.

It would be a test of patience and control on which it will be getting in line with the experience that you do have in the past. If you do know on how the market works and on how it do behaves then you will definitely be that knowing on what would happen next on which we cant be able to see a market that would be dumping forever on which simply means that if there's dump then there's recovery and this is where you do find yourself having that seeing that sustained up this fear and hesitance on which whenever the market do make out such movement. For those who do have the idea on what it is or on how this market behaves then they do see these dumps to be that an opportunity for them to make that accumulate even more.

When the market is panicking (going down) i will hold bitcoin and sell altcoin into stable coin and do yield farming stable coin are like usdc, usdt and dai in DeFi, this strategy will give us passive income crypto in the bear market although it will be small amount of crypto. When the market is going up again then i will buy back potential crypto. That's what i have done and it was work for me.

The current strategy you are using appears to be very good in protecting your assets and minimising your losses during a particular period in the market. Such an approach of swapping altcoins to stablecoins, then yield farming can definitely help you make passive income regardless of whether the market bears are hungry for your coins. However, I also think that it is always necessary to estimate threats that DeFi can bring, for instance, the employment of protocols that might be updated or may be vulnerable to them. Moreover, irrespective of how well it may apply to you, whenever the market bounces back, care should be taken as to which of the cryptos to buy back because the market often changes faster than one can anticipate.

Patients is the subject matter for the market because without it there is nothing like successful investment, it comes with a serious time when somebody will forget if there was a time the prices was soaring but if the panic is being subdued by the belief of better days ahead then success will be attainable for the investors. This is the time of market troubling but we should be optimistic about it because better days await for the market, though already if I'm not mistaken a lot of panic sellers has taken out there money already because of the market.

You are right, it don't affect the market directly but it do affect the stock market directly and then stock market affects crypto market Although I am surprised to see BTC hitting $90k again, I wonder what's the reason behind it, as I am not following news from the past 2 days.

Overall I am excited with this, because with more green, more positive vibes starts and people becomes more hopeful and this environment is very healthy and growing for everyone. Many people now have started to invest and wants to take profit but I guess market might correct itself from here. As $90k is a big resistance.

Unless it's Bitcoin I plan to hold for long period of time, I have no plan to hold any coin when the market is going down, my plan has always been shorting the market until I see that we have reach the support area before I close my position, that's what I have been doing and it has been good for me all this while, and then I reverse my position when the market is bullish again.

Though, I don't see any reason to say you want to sell Bitcoin, the market always comes back for it, so it's better you hold it for long time and then play along with the altcoins you see that will bleed every well.

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.

The expectation on him were too much and that’s why we are all seeing this as a surprise. If Trump was never the president or never showed interest in bitcoin, none of us will be directing the current dip the market is experiencing to him, rather we will look at other factors to blame and we may also say the market is meant to work this way and consolidate before a full fledged bull run takes effect. I am not really concerned about Trump policy now, it may take time, but the market is going to recover and we will have another bull run. I am very excited to see how the market is performing this week, hopefully in the soonest, we will see a bullish run.

When there's panic in the market, I'm always careful not to make the common mistake most crypto investors do which is to allow the market panic to affect my activities. Sometimes, when I notice there's a panic in the market and it's driving crypto marketers to sell their assets, I do see it as a good time to buy and that's because personal research have shown that most of the times z these panics are influenced by whales and big investors as it's one of their best strategies of causing a downward movement of the market just to enable them buy more crypto.

Right, and in this last 3 days, I don't know, but I'm being tempted to sell some to pay some of my debts. Luckily I didn't as the price really took off in the last couple of days. And then I got my paycheck and so I'm all ok now. I don't know what really happened to me on thinking of selling but I did try to fight it out and I'm happy that I did. So for now, no worries for me, I will still continue to hold and buy even if the price is going up. As for my debts, I have everything written down on how to pay it off without affecting my Bitcoin investments.
