altcoins are just a measure of the mania. it is a saturated market. Sure there was a window where it made sense to mine/trade, but once the dust settles, the volume will shrivel up, there will be no more buyers and prices just implode.
Prices already imploded, and threads like this one (everybody Bearish) means it might be time to turn Bullish soon.
Talk about best time to buy, when I started the thread, I was all in btc with multiple bids 30%-50% below market price, then I wake up the next morning. All my bids got hit, and some of them fell another 20% from my bid. Even worse, there is no dead cat bounce. It just stay at new bottom. Is it best time to buy? Or is it going to die? I am in panic mode
The lack of a bounce is even worse than getting behind, since every bounce gives you a chance to take small profits and lower your average cost even more.
When I'm "in too deep" and cannot simply buy more, here is what I do:
Sell ~20% even if it's at a loss and put in orders to buy back lower. Now if it goes down you improved your position (at least a little) and if it goes up (enough) the other 80% will still make money.
Recovery takes time, but you can dramatically improve a situation with several "day trades"...
It doesn't matter which direction the market moves, it just needs to move, and bounce.
after dropping 95%, some coin was able to bottom out, some coin drop another 95%. at this time, it is true test to the strength of the community, or the depth of the dev's pocket.
