if you're a HODLer you should actually have a good understanding of the basic technical side of Bitcoin. It helps not to panic because you know Bitcoin has massive potential value, although sometimes there might be some anxiety. We are still humans.
As for long-term Bitcoin holders, I don't expect them to be panicking about the price of Bitcoin after they have understood the basics of Bitcoin. I don't really see why someone should panic about their Bitcoin investment when the history of Bitcoin has already shown that Bitcoin holders have great opportunities to make more profit from Bitcoin. So, for anybody who wants to enjoy their Bitcoin investment and make reasonable profits, they should have a mindset of holding Bitcoin for the long term. The easiest way to accumulate Bitcoin without much worry about the price is by using the DCA (Dollar Cost Averaging) method, which involves buying on a regular basis.
No matter how you see this, there are still some people who don't have this confidence in the price of Bitcoin and that's because not everyone is your long term holders some Bitcoin investor are just after their little profits of which is very risky. Panicking when the price drops is a actually a sign of not knowing the true value and worth of Bitcoin. The same panic that is done with the amateur holders the experts and determine investor see as a window of opportunities to actually buy when the price is up.
