As the cryptocurrency market navigates another period of volatility, investor and crypto expert Levi Rietveld suggests that this is precisely the moment for serious participants to pay close attention. In a recent video, Rietveld argued that instances of significant selling pressure frequently present the most opportune moments for accumulation.
His commentary arrives amidst a pullback across various digital assets, including XRP, which has experienced short-term declines. Rietveld’s message was direct: he stated that most investors fail to achieve substantial gains in the crypto space because they are driven by emotion rather than a well-defined strategy.
“The only people that actually do well investing are the people that are buying on the red days and selling on the green days,” he remarked. According to Rietveld, the recent dip should not be viewed as a cause for panic but rather as an opportunity to lower one’s average entry price in anticipation of the next upward market movement.

Market Timing and Investor Behavior
Rietveld emphasized that retail investors often make their investment decisions at suboptimal times. He highlighted that many are quick to chase market rallies instead of strategically positioning themselves during periods of correction. “All of the money you’re gonna make is on the way back up,” he explained, adding that the most effective strategy involves increasing positions when the market temporarily moves against them.
To illustrate his point, Rietveld referenced a recent example from October, recalling XRP’s shared decline in early October, from which the asset quickly recovered. For him, such market movements underscore why reacting to fear-driven declines is often a misstep. He stated that investors should remember that significant sell-offs tend to create temporary market inefficiencies that long-term holders can effectively leverage.

Why His Message Resonates Now
The timing of Rietveld’s remarks is particularly relevant, as the current market environment bears resemblance to previous consolidation phases that preceded significant rallies. XRP’s recent price movements have captured renewed attention from investors who are evaluating long-term value prospects.
His comments align with a growing sentiment among experienced market participants who are treating current market weakness as a strategic opportunity rather than a setback. For holders seeking guidance, Rietveld advised leveraging fear-driven dips instead of reacting impulsively to them.
He cautioned that waiting for absolute clarity or perfect market timing frequently results in missed investment opportunities. As he articulated, “You want to lower your average entry, not raise it by following into every single pump that happens.”
