The first week of February was a brutal one for the cryptocurrency market, in which digital assets cratered by nearly 30%, falling below the safeguard level of $70,000 to $60,062.
Per CNBC, Deutsche Bank analyst Marion Laboure said the recent decline in crypto suggests that traditional investors are pulling back and that the general sentiment toward the market is becoming more pessimistic.
That begs the question: If you’ve invested in bitcoin, should you join the sell-off?
To Sell or Not To Sell
Victor Gillibert, founder of crypto education platform Fibo Crypto, told GOBankingRates that selling now would potentially be the worst move an investor could make.
“I’ve been through enough of these crashes to know the pattern by heart,” he said. “Every time bitcoin drops 30%, my inbox fills up with people asking if they should get out. And every single time, the ones who sold ended up buying back higher a few months later.

“Nothing fundamental has changed,” Gillibert added. “The EFTs are still accumulating. The halving supply shock is still playing out. The institutions aren’t suddenly going to stop caring about bitcoin because of one rough week.”
The question of to sell or not to sell “tends to resurface whenever bitcoin undergoes a sharp correction,” said See Wenwei, senior account executive for crypto public relations and communications agency YAP Global.
“[Bitcoin] has already achieved remarkable growth and [the current plunge] fits the pattern of a post-bull correction, fueled by risk-off sentiment, institutional ETF outflows, profit-taking and broader market pressures. Periods like these are less about bitcoin losing favor and more about the asset cycling through a maturation phase,” Wenwei added.
