Who Is Gaining When The Market Is Crashing?

When the market is down, I think only a few people are profitable. that is, investors who want to buy at low prices and investors who have a lot of crypto assets. they can just manipulate prices according to their wishes.

Possible that those traders are good enough to analyze the trend of the particular tokens out there. Also possible that they are old enough to understand the cycles of this volatile place. Mastering the trend could be another way to earn profit even the market is bloody.

Looking at the topic, I don't think there is anyone gaining as a result of the market crashing, even if that will be, it will be few people.

I think there are but only a few of them. In a bull market, almost everyone who claim to be a trader earns but in a bear market, only legit traders earn.

Even though you have the skill to be trading crypto when the market is having a massive fall in the end you are still in the crypto and if you want to cash out to fiat you are also at the losing end so there is no point in trading for short in crypto.

I get your point. Perhaps I should have been more specific with what skilled traders are gaining (cryptocurrencies).

The converter are the gainer in the market when it turn red as they are in btc or fiat which give them best chance to buy more when the token dip .

This question has been on my mind for quite some time now. but i think those who benefit from a red market are thoae who buy coins at this period

Although buying the dips is good, it does not necessarily mean that buyers are gaining. Whether or not they'll gain remains to be seen.

In my opinion, people gaining in this bear market are the traders because they are acquire crypto little by little which will turns out valuable while holding are only hoping for the market to be better. Thank u

The game on the course of market relations has always been attractive not only for professional players. The main thing is to master the technique of the game and have enough patience because hasty decisions without constant analytics can have quite large risks not in favor of the player. as practice has shown, not everyone was lucky to play in favor of multiplication

but even experienced traders have problems and they lose money, so in order to know the trading completely, you need at least a few years engage in trading.

Instead of just saying HODL in a downtrend market, we might as well take advantage of the fluctuations and

People who have been shorting this market have no doubt made a killing. Only the bounce from February was a worthwhile trade imo, the rest was garbage for long positions. Imagine if you traded longs in 2017 and shorts in 2018 though, you'd be rich by now! I would never short BTC, though I can understand why people do tbh.

Not sure if there is really a worthwhile trade but I get your point.

I haven't personally shorted Bitcoin or other cryptos this year, but I know for a fact traders have been making small fortunes this year. Whether it be from $12K, $10K, $7.8K or $6K, people have managed to double ot triple their fiat (or BTC holdings) by shorting on Bitmex and other exchanges. Not forgetting the epic BCH short from 0.1 BTC down to nearly 0.3 BTC, I know traders who doubled their money on this trade this month, or more if using leverage. 

In summary, the gains people made last year when BTC went up 4x in value, people have made the same if not more by shorting BTC, BCH, ETH and others. Saying that shorting this year was pointless when BTC went from $20k to $4k, is like saying there was no worthwhile trade when BTC went from $4k to $20k

While everyone does not want the crypto market to crash, skilled traders are quite happy even if the market is crashing since they can still gain from market volatility. ~snip~

I am interested to know about "skilled traders". Have you experienced it yourself? I don't know if skilled traders quite happy when market is crashing. Do the skilled traders mean whales? I think It is not about skill, but about the power.

While everyone does not want the crypto market to crash, skilled traders are quite happy even if the market is crashing since they can still gain from market volatility. This is why it's important to master the art of trading. You can have consistent profits whether the market is going up or going down.

Lets assume if the market really crash what you are earning from crypto will not be profitable as well as we know crypto is not like fiat which has its value you still need to change it to bitcoin or ethereum in order to get the funds.

Depends on how much traders experience. If experienced, traders can benefit from difficult times like this year. they can analyze well and predict crypto prices.
