I know it is hard to see the markets fall like this 

so hard 

it takes a little bit of courage to jump in when you try and catch a falling knife 

but these are the times that makes a difference 

so stay strong everybody in one or two weeks it will be a distant memory. 

Remember if in DOUBT - zoom out. plus a ton of money coming in Q1 2022 and I still believe December should be good

Yes. It’s not the first time it happens. Market manipulation. That’s why I tell my friends not to go on leverage trading with BTC. I am in for the long run so I stay calm and only wish I had cash available to invest but on weekends cannot make transfers. So Monday will be shopping time on some miners and MSTR.

Seriously stressful. Came into BTC in April at 52K average. At the time Plan B was calling for a 288K endyear BTC. Peter McCormack and American HODL made a bet on whether BTC would be above 300K end year. Then we hit the long summer which was not fun. And in the middle of the expected bull market, BTC is now in the 40s. Not complaining, but I can understand, if some people are feeling the pressure. I have not heard anyone predicting a 45K BTC in December! And here we are…

remember the hype: btc will be 100k and eth will 5k by end of year? course whales are gonna take advantage and do what they do, keep DCAing and HODL!!!!!!!

How can absolutely everything tank simultaneously, though? Almost everything bottomed at the same moment or within 30 minutes. I seem to remember that the downward trend takes a little longer than half a freakin' hour to spread through the market. I'm asking this as a serious question. It definitely looks like whale games, but can anyone explain?

Like Gordy said, when things seem bleak, look at pairs for arb opportunities. Remember, you only lose $$$ when you sell at a loss. So don’t sell now - rather, double down, lower your cost basis. This also presents a good time for potential tax loss harvesting - not financial advice. There’s always opportunity to profit, one way or another. I can’t recall anybody calling for $47-$48K in December - so even if you don’t have dry powder, don’t feel bad. I say all of this because I sold when things seemed bleak in 2018. 3 years later, I would have had 7x profits. So learn from my past mistakes…HODL, buy the dip, arb, or take a break from cryoto 😊 JUST DON'T SELL. Selling means you're giving somebody else the BTC/tokens and the value/potential profits you have worked so hard to accumulate and hodl.

All day in Disneyland, my phone died so I didn't see sensei James post on the dips. I bought more BTC around $46K and 47K, and some SOL at $190. Let the whales manipulate, we focus on buying the dips and filling our bag. This gives us more opportunity to accumulate. Don't panic, this will be a very long bull run. We all know its whale manipulation. My question sensei James, how low can this go? Are we talking about going back to low $40s and is $30s in the discussion? Thanks sir.

I googled it:The Cboe Volatility Index (VIX) is a real-time index that represents the market's expectations for the relative strength of near-term price changes of the S&P 500 index (SPX). Because it is derived from the prices of SPX index options with near-term expiration dates, it generates a 30-day forward projection of volatility. Volatility, or how fast prices change, is often seen as a way to gauge market sentiment, and in particular the degree of fear among market participants.

This took a lot of high but even also very cautiously low leverage bulls out I reckon. So you see you’re never safe in leverage if you haven’t got the finger on the trigger and stoploss can @lso be expansive if you ain’t constantly aware what’s happening that’s a lesson I learned in September 😖. Those Wales and who ever will keep take advantage of every grey or black swan event which is coming up to shake us out of our profits. So I hope al the new investors learn these lessons fast and stay also strong that will make the shake outs less profitable for those who want to take advantage Lets hope this sh.tt is fast forgotten it can ruin your weekend if you haven’t got dry powder at hand. So leaves me to say “ have a nice weekend to ya all and zoom out like James says”

December Dump. I was expecting this. The whales see and are watching. They know everyone was expecting Moonvember and December pump and they take advantage of this. Thankful for James keeping us all calm. I am not shaken just shopping for all that is on massive sale. This too shall pass. Don’t panic sale.

bought some $SQ yesterday

For the record I expect a bounce next few days and then a massive drop before mid month cos that would once again cause max pain and change the entire sentiment of the bull market to bear and then just as that happens BOOM it explodes.

Ahhh, we hit 41967 according to TV and 40300 according to FTX

Curious what $MSTR price will be Monday. Hopefully BTC price holds.

Thanks James, as plan B suggests. Turn computer off and go for a walk

I’ve been waiting to grab a little enj and ftm . Pulled the trigger this morning …. In excitement! !

I'm gonna barf thinking about what my $MSTR shares will look like Monday but will hold steady.

James should I set up a snipe zone or just buy it up right now to get a purchase for ETH?

...picked up my phone, checked the market and saw btc drop to $42k in front of my eyes. Never caught a wick like that in real time. Like being in an earthquake, wondering if this is the 'big one.' Surreal.

Could there be truth in what this dude says.... https://youtube.com/c/CryptoSavy Just asking...

Gonna put some LO's at 30 - 34K. What the heck. Really want that 2nd Bitcoin!

Anyone trying to reach 1 btc should be thankful for this kind of manipulation. Hard part is having enough cash to take advantage.

I thought I caught the bottom on the Black Friday BTC “sale” at 53k and used up the rest of my reserves on that.

Celine, I would say no because of bigger picture of institutional money coming in next year. Can’t look at TA in a vacuum. It has to be coupled with context. Glad you felt safe to ask. Hugs xo

Thanks Mr James for all,one time you said this is a blood sport,is good because bank and fiat is be sickness for long time ,holding strong, thank you again.

Probably can’t fall anymore. Not enough bang for whale-manipulation buck.

It’s been pretty much sideways action for the past 4 hours are so. What do you think the whales are trying to pull next - a mini pump followed by a massive dump?

Anonymous

Grabbed some more BTC at 48k, and at the wick down $41k. SOL at 183. Stoked!

Thank you for this post! It helps. Also feel the way you do. I appreciate all the tools you are giving us . For example, you have said make sure you have money to invest when this happens. I know it is hard to read the top and bottom, but we know the trend is to go up. I know that in the future 48 btc will look like a bargain.

Fantastic share, thank you! I will begin deleveraging and getting dry powder asap. Still hodling, of course

Can be stressful to those who need money, if trying to make money for the now, you have to entertain this being end of bull run, I don't believe that but has to be considered

Anonymous

Try to enjoy your breakfast and your day (if you are in the US). I have no powder and so will attend to other things for a while. Hopefully we will get above the support bands soon.

Will it drop more ? Thoughts ?

NFA of course, but is anybody selling their highest tax lots using specific identification to lower their taxes? I have a lot of long term capital gains on stocks I'm hoping to offset with short term losses on crypto. I'm in the US.

What this shows is that no amount of technical analysis and no individual can predict the path of crypto... in a few days someone will he saying "see, Solana is fastest horse" but it's really just trying to get back to where it was ;-)

So true Mr Hammerberg, these crypto horses need to have there bungee cords cut.

Celsius Token has stood up very nicely against the dip… interesting 🧐

I'm a newbie .My thoughts on a medium gain before Christmas are now looking week.I was thinking is that dry powder is going to be low at this time of year and to look forward to a gain sometime early ish in 2022

Anonymous

so just an if but James when you say "is this the end of the bull run" what does that mean? How far down do we expect things to go if it is "the end of this bull run'?? I'd really like some targets in case this selling doesnt stop.

Anonymous

With such a big dip, it is hard to know what kind of territory we are in -- and which direction we are going. We crashed through a number of support levels. Things seem to be moving up and so perhaps by the end of the day we will have a clearer view and can talk about support/resistance levels. I think the general view is that this is not the end of the bull run. We may be down for a while though.

If it's good enough for Nayib Bukele, it is good enough for me... I look at it as Black Friday deal on Bitcoin!

Hedge funds and Whales are ruthless apex predators with every possible advantage. Pumping then dumping BTC is easy money for these wolfpacks; why would they ever stop?

Anonymous

Remember this will soon be a distant memory. Hodl and buy the dip. On Monday I wont even look at my btc proxies ie. MSTR etc

Anonymous

These drops are excellent buying opportunities! Only regret that my LO was too high. As James recommends, I'm going in harder with new lower LOs.

Anonymous

It is hard to watch the markets fall like this. Not because I see some short term loss on investments, but because I currently do not have the cash to take advantage of the drop. ARGH!

Anonymous

I shouldn’t watch him, but I did for the first time in a long time, Crypto Savys video yesterday says there is a CME gap at $3500 that ‘could’ be filled if we are on way down.. he compared BTC chart to Amazon chart from 2002 (I think) … do people think we are going lower??

Send food, bought all the dip 😂😁

Last time we fell this hard in September we bounced up and then fell again before the huge rise. May happen again.

Anyone buying FTM down here? Or too risky? I'm considering a nibble but I just keep buying BTC instead.

I put 75% of all of my current cash reserves into Crypto, I am holding fast.

I definitely used this opportunity to buy some enj, sand box and gala. Gotta get my metaverse wallet nice just incase it explodes!!!

Out of dry powder for now. Time to step away and enjoy the weekend

Talk to your accountant before doing this. I spoke to mine regarding the exact specific thing and he said because its currently treated like a hard asset, ie a home or land, you can’t tax loss harvest like you would with stocks/securities. NFA, just sharing what one CPA advised me.

Thank you for the thoughts James. I needed to hear them today. Falling knife perfectly describes how it feels :S

Anonymous

I think it will take about 2 months to reach ATH again. I don't see how this could take 2 weeks. Maybe 2 weeks to forget. In the meantime I'll DCA

Anonymous

Could whales be selling at a loss to someone else/another wallet they know to show losses for the year and the purchaser not having tax implications because they now hold it plus it’s at a lower price? I’m just curious if any of this has to do with manipulation for tax liability reasons since we’re at the end of year.

Hope this dip lasts at least 2 more weeks, so I can get some more btc at a discount with my next paycheck as well 😁

James, I know it was a late night, but this post was exactly what my wife and I needed last night. This makes all the difference to hear from you at such critical times. Thank you very much!

You are remarkably consistent and brave James. Thanks for the post. I'm outta powder and a little shaky on conviction but hangin' in there

I'm in exactly the same situation, just 0.75% of my portfolio in cash. Oh well, at least I managed to get a little bit of SOL and ETH...

In James we trust. Through good times and bad times!

Thanks James. If the crypto market stays down this weekend, there will be proxy bargains on Monday. Best proxy to buy Monday? GBTC, MSTR, CLSK or HUT?

Thanks James. What do you think about the Bitcoin weakness during this drop compared to ETH & major alts?

You always say the right thing at the right time. THANK YOU.

Bought some FTM at 0.000032 BTC. Given the massive move the the fact the KuCoin does not tell you the BTCUSD rate at the instant of the trade, I will never know how much I paid in USD :-) I generally just use Coingecko's EOD quote in such instances. It is always wrong, but I do not have access to the historical price stream. ;-)

Great Saturday already! Bought more BTC early this AM and was able to snag an investor spot - after weeks of trying! Thank you, James and K8!!!

Picked up SOL @ 176.89 while sleeping. Thanks to James

Well, James bought more MSTR and CLSK on this dip, so that must speak to his convictions as to those two names at these prices. Personally, I'm going hard into CLSK, as I feel it has huge upside potential going forward. More so than the other names. Just my two cents...

Anonymous

I'm in the same boat, IE: No dry powder... Painful to sit this dip out, but it's healthy to be able to step away...

picked up bcoin at 46plus Thank You!!!

Close to becoming a whole-coiner, should I sell my SOL position and buy this BTC dip or do we feel that SOL will be a faster horse over the short period?

It's interesting that ETH and SOL survived against the Bitcoin crash. Also LUNA. That could mean either alts will fall further, or BTC is discounted and will have a strong Dec->Jan

Dear James, having followed you since early January 2021 I’m a “fangirl” and I’d like to post a question I believe many of us are asking ourselves… Without asking quantity or allocation, could you please be so kind to let us know which your 10 “horses” are for 2022? You kindly inform us about being 97%-ish between BTC, ETH and SOL however please name the other 7 horses for 2022 and on, always considering wearing our tap dancing shoes on. All the best and thanks a lot for what you’re doing, together with you I’m building the future for my daughter.

FYI it’s generally not a good idea to disclose on the internet how much of a given crypto that you own.
