The ups and downs of the crypto prices as of recent only benefits the large institutions who holds the most deposit of cryptos. they make gains by making the price higher for a short period and after new investors decided to put their money on this crypto and thats the time this big whale will liquidate some making the price drop which causes for small investors to be shaken and decide to sell their newly owned cryptos in negative sign (which means loss).

after sometime, the price again will gain traction attracting small investors to re-buy again thinking that this time it will increase for a longer period of time. and same process will happen. after huge buy from small investor, big whale will sell another portion to make money, causing another huge blow for small investors. it will happen over and over until you lose all your funds.

morale: Don't sell your crypto even in bearish market. Hold it tight even for years. total loss is only evident if you sell your crypto over sudden price drops. As they say, crypto is only for people with patience.

Ofcourse, this post is only my personal opinion. Any losses on your assets will not be any of my responsibility. Always study and review on your own. be wise and practical because crypto is a volatile investment.
