What to do after buying the "top" and selling the "bottom"

I've been trading crypto for over 2years and I can say I've gained quite some experience over time, especially for someone who had to learn through the long and hard way. Selling the bottom is something noob traders fall for almost 98% of the time. Even after all my experience with trading, it is a feat I'm still trying to overcome.

Selling the bottom for those who don't know is when you buy high and sell low, as opposed to buying low to sell high, which mostly occurs as a result of fear or "having weak hands" as its been popularly called. Trading is not something that is perfected at once but over time, it often involves a lot of nail biting, for noobs that is.

So like every other noob trader, you've sold the bottom, and interestingly the market just recovered right after you pulled the trigger. What to do is man up, accept your losses and go back in. While you're gawking at the charts thinking about how you need a wish to reverse that trigger sell action, you might be missing on some gains.

What works for me after making such move is simply jumping back in and holding for much longer than I would have. One thing I've learnt in this trading crypto game is that as long as the fundamentals of the project remains strong, then the crypto is more likely to increase in value over time, Bitcoin for example. Its a holding game.

Lately I've pulled the brakes in trading, it is interesting to think that buying low and selling high will always yield some nice profits but I've discovered that holdn long term actually could be more profitable with lesser risks, its more of a tested and trusted fact.

Or.....wait for the next best entry time. Practically wait for another correction like this and buy the bottom. But can you really wait? I find it personally difficult to. I've tried many times that only led me to buying higher than should, waiting to buy at the right time is another skill anyone should have. Not me though.....
