Why to eat the cream while you can have a cake after the cake is finished?
Profit takers will be buying again later to get even more cake. Of course, it's possible that they'll never get a chance to buy cheaper (e.g. bitcoin profit takers who sold at $1).
Do not get me wrong, I am doing this also...
I have separate investment portfolio and trading portfolio.
Trading I am doing to get something to do which gives me also a little bit excitement. Investments I hold for long haul and am planning to sell if I need to purchase something bigger assuming the price goes as I wish.
Trading however is the gambling side of me and I am controlling it not to trade too much. If Monero goes viral, there are pretty high chance that at some point it is impossible to get Moneros even sub 100 usd levels and if my trading position is in other currencies, I have lost the opportunity cost of having the appreciating Moneros.
That's reasonable. But think about the current emission. What's $100 x 17,000? $1.7 million dollars. XMR can get to $100 and sit there for a few days. Can it stay there for any significant amount of time with every botnet and internet cafe owner on Earth dumping XMR every day? No. That's why it's the responsibility of large XMR holders to calm these rallies down before they get out of control by taking profits and then adding buy support at lower levels to "catch" the crashes. All while maintaining a core position.
Can XMR spike to .0027 to .0033 in the near future? Yes, easily. But XMR was at .001 a few weeks ago. So you should expect fibonacci retracements.
