Time and time again day traders talk about removing emotions from the equation. Although it hard not to be euphoric when bitcoin goes up 30% you need to be especially calm when it goes down. Thus create different situations out outcomes to reduce the panic. For instance:
If crypto drops, how will I react? Will I hold? Will I buy more? Can I buy more? Do I have fiat on the guidelines ready?
If crypto goes up, how will I react? Will I sell? Will I hold? At what level will I sell?

The crypto world is so vast that we lost track on what's happening now (and there are lot of things that an individual mind can't comprehend) and ended up selling some coins. LLast year bitcoins price is predicted to be at least 10k $ and a lot of people sell at 2-5k$, if you can't handle the rise of tides then how can you handle the drawbacks? There are thousands of other factors there, why BTC is falling and rising but never ever forget that this is in the name of money, the basic rule is "invest what you can afford to risk". Long time holders don't bother about this and short time holders are grinding their teeth. Those who are knowledgeable enough can control themselves, so where will you stand?
