Bitcoin market is not stable, today it raises, tomorrow it falls. The most important thing is someone investing in Bitcoin to monitor the market, some people have the patient of waiting while some others due to fear when they see that the price is fluctuating might rush and sell, I will suggest we buy the idea of buying and waiting while we monitor the market. If possible monitor it when the price is low then you buy and hold.
If you are waiting for the price of bitcoin to be stable before you can buy or sell, it will take you a long time to see such opportunity in the market. You can buy now that the price has decreased to $118k and hold for long term because nobody know when the low price will hit the market again to be stable for people to buy from the low price.
Bitcoin price going from the range of $120k down to $118k is not something that should trigger an investors buy or sell decision because that's relatively a small movement we are considering so. With a week, we can see that sort of movement happening a lot of times and if you're moved by that, how many times can you comfortably make your buy or sell decision within such short span of time?
What every investor should be after is how to buy continuously so as to get to a comfortable accumulation zone. As much as necessary, selling at your accumulation zone should be out of the equation while what should be your main plan should be to startegize on how best to stay invested and build ones portfolio with the best strategy possible.
there is no how you will hold bitcoin for more than five years without a good income from your holding, but when you allow fear to enter you, you will sell to regret because you allow fear to push you to sell when it's not time to sell to achieve your heart desire from your holding.
This is the reason why at ones accumulation phase, the plan should be on how to continue accumulating more coin and never selling it till you've reached the goal you have set for yourself.
Five years interval might look like a long time but with a proper plan that's implementable on ground, it will be easy to have a smooth buying journey and in the long run reach your investment goal.
