I have experienced this several time and I don't know why it happens that way.
This is how the whales are fucking you. They know. You pay. Get used to taking it up the ass, that's the way it is going to be for a long time. Or, become a whale.
I can't see iota of truth with your words, because OP problem was impatience and lack of believe to what he or she hold unto, what you never believe will not give out profits, let's lean to trust what we believe, hence things will always fall bad towards us. Whales controlled the.market but they won't force you to sell whenever the.price is going down. We holders sell because of lack of believe on the technology, for me, Bitcoin is a saviour.
