As of this writing, Bitcoin is at 19K, Ethereum is at 1.2K and Cardano is at 39 cents. These are very low price levels that have not been seen in years. Should we now panic and sell all our crypto as it will only get worse? Or is now the time to buy because the price levels are so low?
Sell all or buy now? This is a common question that happens during bear runs. For today, all economic indicators show that it is most likely that the bear market we are seeing will go even lower over the next few months. This is a general trend which covers all financial instruments and not just crypto. So, while no one can tell with absolute certainty whether the market will go up or down, it is highly likely that we will see a further downturn in the long run.
What should you do then as an investor? Each person’s financial circumstance is unique so you should do what best applies to your situation. In general however, if you already have savings worth at least 6 months of your income and you have other sources of income, the most practical action is to stay the course and DCA (Dollar Cost Average). This means you set aside a small amount of your income for investment. How much this is depends on you. A good level for crypto is not more than 10% of your remaining income after expenses. Again, this is not financial advise. You should check your own circumstances and adjust accordingly.
I’d like to close this short article with a positive message. Don’t be sad by the current market downturn. The market cannot go down indefinitely. Each bear run will eventually be followed by a bull run. This is historically true no matter what the cause of the bear run be it war, famine, housing crisis or other disasters. Stay invested and the markets will eventually turn positive. If you are invested in a proof of stake blockchain like Cardano, you are in an even better situation as you get interest via your rewards each epoch despite the current market downturn. The sun will rise again after this storm. Good luck!
