From the beginning of this year 2018, alt coins price had fallen tremendously until the last few weeks when we beginning to experience price stabilizations and increase in market capitalization. Also most of the alt coins too have started appreciating in price. From these indications, can we confidently said that the bear season is over or is not yet a celebration time.

Why do you think the bear market is not over?
I think people are starting to restore confidence, and the whole market is now in a recovery phase.

I think the bear season over. The prices are rising again and the market is getting more stable day by day. I hope that it continues.

I think that we are waiting for many more adventures. That rapid growth is then a rapid drop. I think that the seasons will alternate very often

Yes, I believe that the bear market is over. A lot more volume is pouring into the market and we are back in the range of prices we were seeing in Q4 2017. I am not worried :)

as far as I can see, the whales are beginning to manipulate the market is absolutely unpredictable due to the large influx of newcomers. Perhaps now growth will be too fast, after which there will be a long fall and lateral movement. You need to watch.

I think that we are still in a bear market and I think that the bears will not leave until the bulls kick them out, but that it will be necessary to drive out very harshly and very good news, because otherwise there is nothing to be done.

The bears are about to go into hibernation.  You may not see massive increases every day but going forward I think you will see a steady upward trend.

If you look at the charts from previous years the pattern seems to be similar but the good thing is that the markets have performed well starting from may and june july have been good months each year, especially after each year's consensus conference market has seen good boost, so keep holding and you will be happy.

the crypto currency is experiencing a bear season which is very depressing in coins. I think the bear season, which started at the beginning of 2018, ended about 3 weeks ago. but it may come back again in 2-3 weeks.

I think still we are in bear season but bullish season just send us some signals but still didnt come, and I think this bullish will not be long like last one.

Nope, not quite; however, the Consensus 2018 conference is right around the corner and perhaps bull season will kick off shortly thereafter as like last year.

It is not entirely over but we are getting closer and closer to end of bear season and finnaly start the bull run. I hope it will happen after consensus which is great and I am looking forward to it.

Do not know if bear is over but we are not yet in a bull run.

Market is just starting to recover but things may change anytime if another bad news will come it may affect the recovery, but all in all I think year bear season ends.

It would be nearly over yet we are almost reaching up the Consensus which we do saw that price do increase into this kind of event and this might be the trigger on starting already a bull market.For now we do see on decreasing prices where people are readying up for that event.Profit taking then buyback later on before the news because it is the sweetest spot to make money when prices starts to climb.

This thread signifies that you are not talented to be a reliable trader crypto. If you want to be a reliable trader, the first thing you should do is, be more patient. And a holder is not those who only hold for 1 year. But many years

The bear market is not totally over yet still the price is not good but soon it will move like rocket and the price will be high as you know before a big movement the market goes down and it is a symbol that the market will be going high.

The bad will soon end, with altcoin expected to rise again. But there are bad news that hit cryptocurrency, do not ignore the news because it is not true.

From my own point of view it seems the bearish runs of the market had stalled and price has been stable in the past few days ago we can only hope for a positive FUD that will triggers the bullish run again else the price will be ranging up and down.

No, unfortunately bear market still active.
Until bitcoin breaks $12k resistence mark, the bear still strong, last time didnt get $10k yet.
I guess that we need some month to defeat the bear, for now, bitcoin can go $7k or lower.

if in my opinion, the bear season will still be there later, and the current price will soar for a long time. so don't be worried, we wait for the day where there will be a terrible price spike, reaching the moon.

The bear season are over and Bull season is coming after consensus 2018. It's very clear that the crypto market is recovering from this dip and probably bitcoin will reach $11,000 usd next week. maybe 1000% to 2000% on alts and 200 to 500% on bitcoin price surge.

Yes, i feel the bear market for this year has ended. From all indications, it can be observed that the market is only experiencing stabilization. We are gradually approaching the bull run. Well, no one can vividly say the price this year's bull run will give, but i am optimistic that this year 2018 will give a much better result in price escalation than what we have had in previous years.

The price should recover within a few years. The short term price is going to make a a lot of new investors scared to hold their coins and they will lose their money on another coin if they trade anymore.

I think the bear season is over, the price of crypto is growing and people profit from it. I think the price won't fall too much in two or three months but instead it can grow and reach new heights.

The market is still recovering slowly, but if there are no major unforeseen events, the short-term downtrend may be lagging behind

yep, recovering, special thx for that goverments, will be long going

we will hoping for nice uptrend, but i dont see a reason for nice uptrend in this year

IMO, the bear season lasts 3 months is enough. The current bear season has ended, and the exchange rate has increased. As seen in April and early May, there was a drop in crypto's rates but only slightly lower as investors took profit, and then the market rebounded in exchange rates very quickly. Therefore, it can be optimistic that Q4 in 2018 will boom strongly in the exchange rate.

There was a slight increase in the coin but I think it's early to say the bear season ended. if bitcoin reach 10k we can say the bear season over. 

well i hope so, the reason why the bitcoin price crash along with the alts is because mt.Gox trustee liquidates 8200 bitcoins and also, south korea investigation to the exchange upbit. although this could be an opportunity for the whales to buy more bitcoins but if you want to earn profit from this bearish situation then it's up to you.

yes you are right in my opinion if the KYC requires personal data that is very sensitive as well as pasport I think it is too risky because it provides a passport in the form of sensitive data to others.

Bear market will always be here but for now I believe this is now a bull trend though we are experiencing some correction but if you look at the monthly chart the trend is up now. Bull market will last until the whales are taking peofits again.

if bitcoin price can breakout the 10K USD wall,
i think all cryptocurrencies will be growing up soon,,
just wait for thats mate

     Yes it's already over because market price now is starting to bounce back and the value of bitcoin is almost on the halfway of its highest price which is $19000 plus, that was happened last december and by mid january it was dipped to almost $2000, and it recovers within three months and the current price now is $8600, ETH=$726 so we confidently to say that market crash is over.

It is almost over, as btc value maintains from 8-9k for the past weeks in which is very good sign of recovery. In my own opinion, market will be fully recovered by the 3rd quarter just like last year wherein all coins pump until Q4. But it will also depend on the current events that will happen in the future (FUD, news, regulations etc.)

The early year correction is most likely over already. Prices should rise nicely next week since the biggest crypto conference of the year Consensus is starting tomorrow in New York.

That's right, we are heading for another phase of the market and it is definitely happen after a dip fall happen early this year. Though we accept the fact that we aren't totally recover from that fall but little by little we're going that through for it's recovery.

We can't be sure about the end of bear season as it will happens anytime and we are good at this moment since the prices climbs up again. No need to celebrate as we are still far to reach again the all time high. Hold and be patient to wait for the best price.

It's over, only the bull market does not go into its own right, because now it's very important to change both market capitalization and bidding and the sooner you do it, the more often the corrections that are also the nerves of many investors.

I can't believe the bull run started before bitcoin reaches over $ 10,000. The last month was pretty good and many altcoins made good profits but prices fell back again without much lasting. I hope it doesn't go like this until the end of this year, because it began to be bothering.

As soon as I thought bear market is finally over - Bulls came again because of the last couple of weeks... then this week happened when my Portfolio lost almost 13%.
So normally I doubt bear market is over. It is unbelievable how long this bear market will last. It is almost a all year now... with couple of green candles. So frustrating.

Bummer.

Portfolio will get hit many more times from now,cuzz of whales dumping btc,but overall situation is getting more and more stable.btc have support around 8+k and hopefully soon it will start gaining price

These past few days, I observe that the market price of the coins are little bit stable so I guess the bull run will slowly be happening because of bear being quiet for a time. I am hoping it will sleep for the time being and give way to bull to wake up.

I don't believe that Consensus can change anything. Statistic is not science. All conclusions in it are drawn behind the ears. I will wait what will happen but while nothing new. I think to closer to summer we will see some changes.

I guese it is not yet ending considering that there are still lots of downfalls as of this month. Some say that it could recover around September.

I wouldn't say that the bear season is over, just yet.

With this correction things can get pretty interesting, I suspect that prices will be sent back pre-rally figures again or at least near them, depending on the scale of this correction. But markets haven't got any momentum at the moment, nor the necessary bullish sentiment in order to safely say that the bear market is over.

If you see these big drops though in the dump, don't panic. Panic selling is literally shooting yourself in the foot from an investment perspective.

Bear season or trend is here to stay cryptocurrency is very volatile that one big bad news can shake up everything, we must get used to it, because there will always a bull coming or a correction phase, we must get used to it, its been with us since the start.

I don't think so, but I hope there will be constant slow growth.

the price will be back up slowly. and will certainly still be the crypto field which to seek income. expected in the near future because there is some correction of crypto, then hope the crypto will recover to the high prices.

I think it's a small growth before dump again. All around tell about "spring is green". And it's the best time to dump and buy more for whales and MM. Guys, use stop-loss, please

Far from over. The last crypto bear market back in 2014 had gone on for around 1 year, and it's hard to see this us completely out of this current bear market within just 4-5 months time. There still needs to be some more time imho.

However, I think that the dips will become smaller and smaller gradually as we consolidate.

So it's not over, but I believe the worst dumps are already in the past.

For me, I think the bear season isn't totally over as there are still some uncertainties in the flow of price. As consensus is around the corner, I believe bear season will go into extinction and we will experience the bull season and then celebrate without fear. For now, i think we should be patient and flow in the direction of the market.

to me it looks like a stable period. after this period im not sure if we will see a rise or dip.

Fully agreed. Too many people wait for repetition last three years. But I think all will be not same. It's not "Foundation" from Isaak Asimov. It's a big money. Not, such BIG money. That's why I wait for BTC only

maybe it is not yet a celebration time man. i will take a bit more time to say it's a time of celebration. market is recovering i believe. so give it a bit time. it will heal.

No one can really said because there are many factors that contribute to the directions of prices' of an asset over time.  We were thinking that last week the bear market is over and the bullish market has began and we can all see what happened in the week end.  I think the current corrections is not going to last for long as most of us buy bitcoin above the current price.

Yes, the downward trend is still in the market so investors need to be careful to be able to cope with the worst situations that may occur, putting the USDT asset is a good choice. To secure your property in bad situations. Determining long-term and serious investments in the same market will help you succeed.

Don't think bear season is over... but then can't predict the market sometimes. The bears will go into hibernation at some point haha

maybe yes, maybe not)
ofcourse u have a nice opinion, that will be a real right sign of end of bear trend
but, in this time, i see a nice trip to preroad movement

I do not think the bearish season will be endless, although it usually only happens in a short amount of time, but it can never be done because the market conditions are difficult to resist.

In the 3 months of 2018, we have witnessed the bear season taking place for a very long time, and the exchange rate of the entire cryptos on the market dropped dramatically. Typically, the BTC fell more than 70% of the value, and ETH is 60% lower than the rate at the end of 2017. But by April 2018, the market showed a rapid recovery. And in the second half of 2018, after the bear season over, the exchange rate promises to boom with the entire cryptos.

Do you most of the altcoins are depreciating? I don't want to be confident with the current situation that we are out of the bear market. It's better to be vigilant and don't wait out for those speculations to come in. Let the market play for itself and while you are stocking your precious coins on your wallet waiting for the right time to sell it. This isn't yet the celebration time for us, let's wait until the market fully recovers and the crypto market are totally healthy.

Market is doing fine today on the first day of Consensus 2018. In the past years, market has  rallied nicely after this so this year should be same most likely. Bitcoin needs to be above $10K for market to turn more bullish.

Its in between since its now on a recovery phase and only starting for some redemption, maybe after June or July things will start to overhype again as the bear season will finally end. We know for a fact that last year was the best run but maybe things will go around and break the run from the last year.

yes I think so too, the market is slowly showing a positive movement, can be seen with the rise of coinmarketcap capitalization, hope this is a good start for bitcoin and others in this year, after suffering a severe crash.

As far as our group can monitoring the market, it's must be bear season over, but we think now the market has manipulated by some group so it's make the market is absolutely unpredictable. So for now we just can waiting and not rush to sell the coins.

Now it's definitely not a bear market, but not bullish. What can be said for sure is that the market is in consolidation.

I think the bear market is over and we are now on a process of recovery. Stable altcoin  will make a pump but once Bitcoin make a big jump, expect that almost all altcoins may dump to take advantage of the profit.

The market is not yet on neither bear nor bull season. We are currently witnessing consolidation stage in the market wherein institutional investors, professional traders and new wave of whales are accumulating discreetly to avoid another parabolic rise in prices.

Yes, I also think that Consensus 2018 event was trigger for new bull cycle with at least 100% return. But nobody knows what will happen.

The bear situation began to stabilize in mid-February where many currencies and projects underwent a correction, something natural to the market that occur from time to time. But in my opinion this type of market will not last more than July where practically the regulatory period will practically diminish generating possibilities of investments in large scale.

At first glance, we can say that the bear season is over. The market is stabilizing, people are looking to the future with more confidence and attention. But this is an unstable indicator everything can change.

Yes! Finally, the crypt summer began, the market began to grow again, it's very cool! I advise everyone to buy, before it's too late

Let me tell you a little insiders secret I just picked up from this super pump and dump Miami/South Korean whale invite only group:

Nobody knows

Don't you dare spread this information on the interwebs because my head will be gone!  ;D

No really, nobody knows.  This 'calm season' can go on for years, we can have a very very slow bearish market going down to 1k BTC again and then in a month time back to 20k.  Or, we can go to 30k by summer... You just don't.... know...  So what do you do?  You spread your investment, you cash some you play some, you trade some and you hodl some.  That's the way his game can be played.  Enjoy!  8)

We can't be sure for 100%, but the market seems like it is quite stable.  Isn't it a nice view after 3 months full of red numbers?  ;D At the moment, one of the most important blockchain meetings is taking a place in New York and its results would probably drive the market in the upcoming days. And how will it look like at the end of the year? I am not an oracle, but right now, I do not know anyone who would put a bet on his prediction, so that describes current situation very well. Buy a ticket for this crazy train and enjoy our drive full of surprises.

It seems like the bear season was done about a month ago, but the breakout hasn't been vicious enough to confirm this notion. We will see in the coming weeks whether or not the bulls will win out, but I have high hopes that they will.

Nah I don't think the bear market is over yet, we probably need one more dip to 6k and bitcoin can finally rise back to 10k

Everything changes weekly and I think you will get green. This may be our last decline.

still not for the moment there is some decline in the market nambun bear prices will come back at the end of the year and it will be a very big spike.

Bears and whales are always there forever. They can manipulate price whenever they want so theres no such thing as bear season or anything. If your question would be " is the market going up now" then the answer is yes were starting to get into that. Not the end of bear season but the start of market rise.

Yep. It is important not wishful thinking. The market in the consolidation. Bulls have not won yet. Instead of all the desired growth, the fall may continue.

I almost believed it, but it's too early. Generally important not to fall into euphoria and not to relax but to act according to the plan.

The market showed a rise after bad days..Marketcap has risen to reasonable levels and looks good right now..In the last quarter of the year we will see a graph similar to the previous year.

No. You can't. While overall trend should become upwards, there are still many whales selling and annihilating any bullish attempts.
However, bulls and bears dance together in this and all the market can do is to show how big these players have become.
We all hope for a bullish outbreak, but maybe we wish too much, especially as that may easily become a new bubble.

I hope it is over. I believe that the market will be gaining now. The altcoins will be growing, and soon they will reach their maximum: it will happen in winter I think.

Commonly it drops by the opening of the year the first Quarter due to the recent events, holidays, tax season, Corrections and FUD's, did you know that bitcoin price flutters around $1,000 to $2,000 on the 2nd and 3rd quarter of the year 2017? almost 2000% return on investments on December not mentioning all of those altcoins that gains from the bull run so expect some major correction from its major gains cause that is a normal thing, bear season is not over yet till we are not crossing the $15,000 mostly saying 20k.

the markets is in sideway, and everything can be happend in the markets
so, just try to minimize the risk, because crypto is risky investments

I try to believe, but there are a lot of rumors that were not shared by last year and made the up pattern not work as planned. it is also clear that the crypto escalation path is being destroyed by the large btc sales concentration of mt.gox and that is very disturbing to the potentially increasing ecosystem.

I think it's not over yet, because it's in development and not yet in the stock market. Let's just invest in it, I believe the latest award will come to us for a bumper season. it wonderful

I think that the bear season has not completely ended, but it is already coming to an end. Perhaps even more the situation will stabilize in the summer, but in extreme cases, in autumn. Just keep working and wait for a new pump, I hope that it will be stronger than the past! And we will see new upper values for all coins!

I doubt it would ever be over. The market will always keep crashing every now and then for no known reason. I was so optimistic recently when bitcoin was touching the 10000 mark, but then unfortunately another dump happened and it is back to 8100-8500$ range. I think for the next two three months, one must forget making any major profit.

It is still bearish month for the cryptocurrencies with some short uptrends. The bullish trends are still weak and there is still no sign of bull run. Most of the coins have a short-lived uptrends and then followed by dips again. The second half of the year is nearing and there should be substantial price increase for bitcoin but it failed to happen this time.

bear market is over. Now market faces correction and falling temporarily because of Mt Gox. Will get through soon.

This year I think we will still be able to surprise, perhaps the bear market has already ended, but constant corrections speak to the contrary and everything has only gradually begun to recover. At least the growth of market capitalization tells us that such as at the beginning of the year will not be exactly.

I still feel that we're still in the bear period but it's much better compared to what happened in the past months. Bitcoin can only move with a very small gains but I also think that the Mt.Gox trustee is making us stuck in the bear market.

The market cap has increased from the the lowest, we see more investors than the worst time. Certainly, crypto market has picked up but we need to monitor the market further.

I don't think it's celebration time yet for the bearish period will continue before changing for better

I think this is a very good way to look at it, everyone is longing to the next bull run but right now but forget that this just may lead to a new bubble. Right now the market cap seem fairly healthy to me, the bearmarket is or was a healthy correction. Projects get chosen more carefully now and I feel people look more at the fundamentals as the product and the stage of the development of new alt based projects instead just following hype and invest in ICOs or projects based on their size of their telegram community. Really good projects with strong tech like Ontology still still make significant gains, so it is more about doing the right research then being in the market at the exact right time.

I think we are currently under consolidating market or period, You'll see, the market just bounds back and forth between $350 billion and $450 billion. There are still uncertainties to what market will be directing, If it will stay very long to this level or will rebounce back to bull run.

I think the bear market will end by the beginning of summer and we will see the growth of market capitalization and the interest of investors will increase again.

Not over, volume is way down, could go either way from here

Now the trend is still falling.To overcome it, the market needs more volumes than now

I think it's time for alt coins to rise ..
all those worthless little coin coins are of high value for now.
You must be patient for satisfactory results in alt coins. it takes a long time to generate coins that have fallen into high value coins

Its quite hard to confirm but we can say its somewhat over after we went around 9000s with bitcoin. Most coins are still cheap but I mean bad weather on markets are gone for good. Optimism is here..

I think we're starting to move up, but the volumes are confusing. This movement may be false

Not even close to being over yet,few months of down trend after a massive bull run cant be called bear season just wait for september when bitcoin will go to 3-5k levels then you will see whats the real bear season ;D We had about 9 months of bull run so bear will probably do the same or more

For me, it is over already. Don't you see that the cryptocurrency is not falling at an awful speed? However, it is not gaining so fast as we all wish to see. The market is waiting for the period of a bull run.

I think so, all definitely expect the bear season to end
because this is very influential on the current market conditions
and this is the spring-growing period after the drought. :)

When you wrote the post, it really appeared to be that the bear market is over, nice growth from April to May and most people expected a big push after Consensus. That did not happen, it even declined. So are you still certain that the bear season is over?

I do not think that now a bear market, it seems to me that whales are trying to manipulate the market.
And they decided to show that even a consensus cannot affect for the BTC price and news can not do anything. Now only they can manipulate the bitcoin.
We have low volume and using that fact and while market turnover is small, they are knocking down the price, making others nervous and selling.

I hope it's over! I want my BitClave CAT tokens to raise!  ::)

I am very sure that the market will start to go up again. But I think it will be very slowly and hard to recover for the market. But I think the bottom is near because every bear trader so euphoric right now!

It was difficult to say, whether it was over or not...now it became even more complicated - market shakes like hell and nearly everything may happen tommorow. However, I believe that we would not experience such a tough times like march-april.

In the world of crypto, Bear and Bull is never eternal, forever will continue to occur depending on the conditions and circumstances of its users. So with the existence of such conditions, we should be able to take advantage of existing conditions, in a smart way: HOLD and BUY.

You just forget to add the third most important thing and that is SELL as if you keep on buying and holding your coins, you might never find the right time to sell. You need to HODL specific coins which have strong fundamentals and basics and proves to be best coin for the next 2-3 years and buy and sell the coins which have short popularity span to increase your profit. These small buy and sell will provide money frequently and increase your faith in crypto.

Pre-coders have maintained their growth prospects in the context of recent downward trends. Robert Sluymer of Fundstrat believes that Bitcoin has found a bottom with its recent correction and prices are poised to continue rising in the short term.

its hard to say but i believe btc will not go under 6k after now. its better btc reach 11k but if not than it will be between 7k-9k. if so than alts will rise. 6th june btc start to rise and it has 27days until next dump but if btc reach 11k than nothing to worry.

looks like no https://www.coingecko.com/en
more sell pressure coming i dream

i don't think that the bearish market is over, there are still many signals of downthrend, but i'm happy that bitcoin has gone many times to 6k and never broke the support, i so think that it will be hard to go under 300 billions total capitalization, i hope that for the beginning of the summer we will start to see a new upthrend

I am very sure that the market will start to go up again. But I think it will be very slowly and hard to recover for the market. But I think the bottom is near because every bear trader so euphoric right now!
So with the existence of such conditions, we should be able to take advantage of existing conditions, in a smart way:hold and buy.

The 6th came and there was no indication of even the slightest bump. Historically data has failed this time? Still have about 30 hours to see it through though

The market will be good again. Market prices do not increase by waiting. As I said, the attitudes of countries are very important. If the ban is imposed from any country, the market will fall again.

Good news: the bear season is over. Bad news: this does not guarantee a bullish season in the near future. That's consolidation, then this is the snake season ;D

I think bear season wasn't over yet due to price was still not having successive increase compared on how we experienced last year. The scenario was really different, and that snake season probably now happening when those panic sellers is doing worst actions that tends to crash the price. That means a bad idea for those who had snake mindset whose like traitors in cryptocurrency, and that's a hindrance of coin value to attain the bullish season.

Volatility almost negligible
https://www.coingecko.com/en

There are still plenty of reasons to fret, might be the BTC not go over 10k again, might be it's price possible to continue to decrease under 7K. But we should be able to take advantage of existing conditions to take some profits from this volatility.

Yeah I also have not thought that the bear trend will end, we are still stable around $7400, and will probably decrease again. but it looks like we already have a new bottome line at the $7k figure, we are not down further than that price, and marketcap is still high so I think the price will not drop too deep in case of weakening again..,

I think we still looking for the bottom so bear market not ended yet. We all waiting for crypto spring, but still not the time. Maybe this autumn we will see some game change.

Market is still trendless even though Bitcoin has been making higher  lows. The market trend should turn bullish in second half of the year if last year's pattern works out.

Bearish is already over but still we are waiting for the bullish market to come therefore we are now in normal market trend in which the people will just selling high and buy it low trend. Maybe if the price of Bitcoin will reach above $10,000 again and probably all potential Altcoins to follow then that will be the sign that the bullish market is finally starting.

What a holiday, well, except for the calendar summer of course. The market continues its unstable movement and frequent corrections and it does not seem that there was a bull market that could help us in our losses.

Yups theres no bear happening since end of February,what we are having now is the normal fluctuations and and volatility of cryptocurrencies and nothing more,this way is whate we need to base the prices not on bubbles and not on hype.because the value of each coins now are enough to make profit maybe smaller amount but in process it could be big.

All wee need to do is use our skills and ability to convert every trading or investing to gains and earning

I think that we are still in a bear market and I think that the bears will not leave until the bulls kick them out, but that it will be necessary to drive out very harshly and very good news, because otherwise there is nothing to be done.I hope it doesn't go like this until the end of this year, because it began to be bothering

We all thought the bear season was over a few weeks ago but the market has still not recovered. We are approaching the end of Q2 which is traditionally the start of a bull run. Hopefully the next run will be swift and pump up the market back to where it was Q4 last year

It's hard to determine the real trend of the current market as the price of bitcoin had stabilize at $7k to $9.8k range. So much resistance of the $10k mark as we had not enough force to break that wall. I'm hoping that we can regroup and push again the price to reach higher than $10k as this will create momentum to have a good rally to push to higher value.

I don't think so, in my opinion bear season is far from over, the market haven't even recover yet and in fact all of the altcoins are heavy bleeding right now, I'm not sure if its the effect of Bitcoin or not but I really hope that this will end soon, that the bullish season will take over.

Not yet, this.month is still a bear market cause bitcoin is still having a hard time to recover. Cant wait to see bitcoin to hit 8000$, that the time im convince that bear season is ending.

It will be good again certainly. This bear hasn't over and if ever it goes over, those people that are watching the market will never get contented by hoping for higher prices.

Hopefully it is over right now I am very bullish this month of June hope all the coins right now set their new ATH then that is the time for us to sell at the peak and buy back again at the bottom.

I do not think the bearish period is over in crypto as we can still see the downward trend of market and only hope it ends soon. I think this is because of fall in volume and it will only recover if the volume increases.

I think we are still in bear period. Because the prices are still very low and I think it is likely to this period will continue in the near future too.

Cryptocurrency entire market is still in bearish season , Ether trying hard to break its resistance level of 612-614 USD fom 1 week . if it break this then can pump upto 660USD then again resistance . BTC playing the key role and when btc will break all resistance upto 11k USD we can say we are bullish again .

Dont know according to which source or analysis you saying bear season is over .
bcoz bears are still much strong and we are still struggling to cross 10k USD for BTC , below 10k USD there is no room for other altcoins to grow , total marketcap is now very low which is also not good for other alts .
as per trend we can only expect good new in Q4 , and if that also fails then many holders will try to exit from crypto and more dump .

So you have to wait for September at least. Rich participants must take some walks on their new yachts before  :)

in times like this we should be patient. we must be able to resist and also intelligent in seeing opportunities. will never know when it will end quickly or not

I believe soon bitcoin will rise up again and many are expecting for the pump of bitcoin. Everybody's monitoring for the price to witness the bitcoin price rises to $100000 .If bitcoin hit the promising price of bitcoin many people will become a millionaire.

I think that is unfortunately a very likely scenario, this year even the consensus could not bring the market back and there are so many high caliber projects as Hacken, Cobinhood, Oyster that just further decline in price despite having finished products that are top notch.

No, today we see another huge drop, -5% today, market is one big red sea  >:(.
Who knows where is the bottom.

Not yet, almost everything is going down like crazy at  the moment, that is the main reason of why i think that everything is going to continue like this for some time, but yes, we need to understand that this is temporary

  I think the bear period is not over yet, because the correction happens every now and then and for now, it going to a very big dip, we can only say that the time of bullish is coming if bitcoin price will on stuck at 10k, at this moment it markdown at 7.2k, hopefully it will regain its the momentum and start the most awaited moment which is to the MOON.

I dont think so. What i am scared of is the bear season to expand to a year. Death cross looks so scary in the daily chart.

Even as we continue to lament the more the dip comes. What at all is happening to crypto. It seems we're almost touching to $6k again. Anyways let's all hope this is the last dip of the month. We need a pump, a real pump

HOnestly I dont think very many people know how the market is going to behave. I think best move is to have 70%  of your money in your best projects and 30% fiat all the time.

today's charts - market is full of blood....
Only since yesterday it lost 40 billions from 340 to 297...

It’s been a long time that we are experiencing the downfall in the market value of the crypto coins but the good news is things have started to change and that the crypto market has started turning into green. If you are worried about the market value of the coins, then this worry will soon be over and that you will soon notice that the market has started rising higher. Just be patient and do nothing but holding.

Right, now everything in the market is going down at the moment  and time to time falling is still going on from $7000+ down to $6000+ , I am hoping that soon the market will recover and give us a great reward for holding our coins.

until bts drops to 0, bear season will not over.

they are playing with small investor. they try our patience.

please hodl.

While I don’t think values will drop to zero, I feel you need a lot of patience for the market to come back. People expected a rebound many times and instead everything seems declining. Now I read that the december high of 2017 was mainly to manipulatlon on Bitfinex

Possibly right now development is going to be as well as soon as the horizontal motion
and I'm sure this will grow and will grow well

i think its not over yet coin prices are going to more realistic valuation after getting some huge price surges back in 2017.. in general its good for crypto as the possibility of overnight riches fading away and most of the shitcoins will disappear, regulatory agencies can take a breath and finally present some clarity.

I can say that clearly, I think we are still seing the characteristics of the bear season on the market prices. I hope the bulls will come faster and earlier than we expect.

We're definitely still in a crypto winter (in my very humble opinion).

However, I feel as though once BTC ETFs get approved we might see movement in the crypto market that's reminiscent of the end of last year, perhaps even dwarfing it. Take a look at the charts for Gold when the ETFs for that product were introduced. Talk about moon....

Unfortunately, this is the second option. We are still at the stage of market correction. I do not know how long it will last, because the crypto-currency market has become very unpredictable.

I think we should get used to these panic attacks at every correction :) everything is good in a long-term.

you are right. Market correction in action and we dont know where it will be stop. I think that now bearish market can dump crypto more: $3-4k for 1 btc

You can't possibly say the bear season is over. We still have a long way to go before the year end. Bear season will always surface, the question is, how do u cope with the bear season? It might be a long bear season but it definitely going to end. Little bit of caution is require tho as the bull season doesn't seem to last. Bear season will surface again August/September and from there, we might see bullish season.

Bears and whales and other manipulators can come anytime they want to manipulate cryptocurrency values according to what they want. Maybe they are plenning something right now thats why they did not change the value and make it stable for a long time.

Is not yet over. We had a meet ups with Charlie Lee this previous days and actually he's not happy on the whole market. He said that it will drop off to 2000usd but he said that if you have tons of money then buy the dip coz in the next couple of months or years price could be hyperbolic.

No one can say exactly when bear season will end... we thought that it is over, but the reality differs... It will continue to strike us periodically, I guess.

I'm sad to say that we might see a long bear season. No one thought that we can go on like this, 2014 all over again. On a side note, as bulls cannot penetrate the market right now, it doesn't mean that the bears will go and rule this market for a long time.

Experienced tells me that the bulls are just around the corner, waiting for that perfect opportunity to make its move and go for another break out run. All we need is to have more patience as this bear market will be soon over. I'm hoping that one good news will sway the investors to pour in their cash again so that we can make another bull run up to December.

The market is being controlled by either the big players or the exchanges who sold big time that causes a major drop of bitcoin price. Average investors like us cant do anything to make a bull run, because we are just riding with the manipulators, same as they are riding with us. Manipulations has a lot of factors why it happens, and some are total unknown to us.

So much speculation in particular to the factors that drive the crypto currency market are they quantitative or non quantitative....thoughts

Still long term bearish. Have to wait a bit longer for a month candle to close past the resistance.

If we go into another round of 2014 it won't be a good thing but it won't be the worst either. All it means is that the prices of everything go down for a little while but I almost guarantee that it would be going up again in the near future. Tokens that come out now start at a lower overall value and then (hopefully) rocket up and off after the investors start to return, but that all depends on if Bitcoin maintain its strength to keep everyone interested.

Hard to know for sure for now. Need to see bitcoin get back over $10K and next $12K to be really bullish. In the interim, it remains in a trading range.

I just hope that you did not celebrate early because until this moment of June the market is unhealthy in which most Altcoins are in dip therefore we could not say that the bearish trend is over if the market performance is still struggling but lets continue to wait and see as per prediction that the bullish market will start on early of third quarter of this year.

Right now, looking at the market all I can see is bear all over, no sign of bull yet. Just when you think the market is recovering, out of nowhere it will just crash down and begin to recover again. The bear is here to stay and might be longer than expected.

I do not understand why they think that the growth and fall of the crypto currency depends on the time of the year, from what they took ?, in my opinion, well, the seasonality of growth does not depend on the time of the year, it's just a trivial coincidence.

We will have to hold and watch the market with patience until the trend becomes clearly bullish. Not easy to figure it out beforehand  but that could happen in next two months.

seems that it is not over and it wont be over anytime soon, so the best thing that you can do is just try to accumulate as many tokens as you can as soon as everytihng is cheap

No, it is not over, unfortunately. Honestly, it surprised me a lot. I was sure that the bull run could start very soon. OK, I am patient enough to wait for the better prices more.

i think we still in bear season...btc up still wealth..no energy from bull side...i don't see any bullish trend.still any worry point' btc Will get dip price...other one say it may go to $3k..

No i don't think so that the bear season is over yet , we are still at that phase where the market has gone down and where it doesn't get its stability, everyone thought for once that maybe things will fall together till now but it seems difficult this year as can see this year of falling down in the cryptocurrency is very high and we can only wait for the brighter day to come and till then we can hodl coins only as market is unexpected so have patience till then.

The bear season is not over as we can still see the prices of crypto is till very low and the coin are still dropping. I believe the market will recover soon and the price will increase. We need to exercise more patience and wait for the bull period.

Apparently still early to celebrate. For now, the bear market continues. In fact, nothing strange or unusual happens. History shows us that what is happening now has happened before. In the crypto currency market, there is always a wave-like movement (as in other markets) prices up and down. So I'm sure that soon everything will be fine!

Only large investors can end the bear market in the system if they send hot money.

Can't see any indication from moving on, crypto isn't in the stage of recovery yet they are struggling hard to gain more support from the community and most especially from investors. But it sure there is an increase by 3rd quarter as what happens in the previous years. It is possible to be repeated, otherwise crypto market will fall and still in bear situation.

The encouraging sign for me is that the market bottom that established during the great bear run earlier this year (around $250 billion whole market) looks still to be providing a lot of resistance. The markets look as though they won't drop past that point, so I think there is a lot of resilience there. This would suggest we are at the bottom now, and from here the only way is up.

The market grew steadily, the manet rose in price and did not fall. Throughout the year, growth was huge. Even I would say it is off scale. But now the market has lowered its prices for coins. There is a drop in coins. But we must wait for the take-off of this crepe to invest in projects.

a lot of talk and rumors that the market will fall some more in the coming days. We are expecting thing to back to normal by mid July or so. This happens back in April if you remember and come May the market recovered. Some considered this as a correction but be patient a bull run is coming.

Holding now is the better choice. I do not see that the bearish trend is back already. Although the market looks better than in February- April, we have to wait.

That‘s actually a quite refreshing point of view. I also think the market got a lot healthier and a good chunk of „get rich quick“ folks had only a quick visit of the market. Only concern is the consistently low volume

I don't think bear season completely ended yet but seem like it's not the biggest problem for cryptocurrency market :). Biggest problem for cryptocurrency market is that there are so many investors and traders afraid of bear season and they deiceded to get out cryptocurrency world so there was a big lost in marketcap ;D. But don't worry cause I believe these guys will come back when market turn to green :)

I think its not over yet since the market position now is very low and no sign to market goes up again. Maybe near emd of Q3 like last year.
Mostly the coins are drop also because the bitcoin also is drop. Those coins will have similar up with bitcoin when its up.

All I know is not over because if the bear market is over the crypto market will soon return and can be stable and with so many people saying if soon the altcoin price will also come back and hopefully the market and altcoin will return to a stable price and could be profitable

Perhaps on May 12, the day you created this topic, the market really looked very stable and promising. But I can't say that the market has returned to the bullish trend atm. Despite the availability of positive news, the market continues to go down and down.

The bear season is not over yet and may even continue, the best thing now is to be very patient and also hold our coin patiently till the market recover from his bear period.

I will finish on 23rd October 2018.

No, it's not over for now unfortunately. Hope to see bull market starting in mid July.

I was initially convinced that the period was over, but in fact the current price of the token fell again, from this incident I began to change my mind. many predict that prices will improve from June. but in contrast to the circumstances

We are still in a bearish situation and the bloodbath continues will the red market. I don't know when this will end but I'm still optimistic that the price will still rise to the top and get out profits by year end. Good time to buy and be patient to wait until the recovery.

As per the marketcap the prices are still in a downfall and the bloodbath continues. Maybe this will takes more weeks or months for the recovery. Be patient.

As we can see, cryptomarkets are caught in ups and downs for the past 5 months and now it's bleeding red again. I think we are still in the bearish trend and it seems it's moving slow that looks to stay for a while in a couple of days, weeks, or even months. Well, come what may because i am holding strong my crypto assets.

We are starting to see a bounceback from about $240 billion whole market, which is similar to the bounceback from $250 b that we had earlier this year. This suggest to me that there is a lot of resistance around that level preventing further drops. Obviously it's all speculation, but I'd anticipate price rises in the coming days and weeks.

The bear season is not over yet as we can still see the red but I am hopeful that the market will recover soon and coin will begin to rise up again.

Very interesting forecast. Why do you think so? What will happen on this day? Please tell us about your point of view in more detail. It seems to me that the market will begin to recover in late summer.

I don't think the bear season is over yet. We are still below as expected. Yesterday, we reached an all-time low before it climbs up back to $6,100+. Although that we are still struggling to keep this up, the future is bright for us cryptonians out there. The best is yet to come, so it is a good opportunity to buy during the dip. Bull run might commence anytime soon even if its unpredictable. It's going to be an interesting year for all of us. Just my two satoshis.

Hmmm, the bear season is not over yet, in fact it is moving from one bearish level to another one, but it doesn't signal the end of the world. generally speaking the mood has not gotten in the way of investors confidence and new ideas continues to be churned out. The bear mood will come to an end and we will see a dramatic rise in the market. So, you want to buy, this is the appropriate time and you could once more make money.

happy for those who get the lowest price yesterday, because it will maximize profit later. we can only expect good news to come and convince everyone to buy, so the price will go up

Doesn't look like. Some altcoins still have room to go down in both BTC and USD value. 

The bear is still controlling the market situation and this is the moment that we need to buy if we want add more investment and after this the price will bounce back after the correction.

There is a possibility if this can be considered as a dead cat bounce. But we need more observation about that. i can't trust a little recovery in the crypto market. that can be turned into a trap anytime.
Just try to buy more crypto on the various rate and then i can decrease my risk.

i hate to start to start this with the word "Unfortunately" But yes we are still in the bear trend if you look at it on a holistic way. Though the market manage to bounce back a little from the dreadful battle yesterday, this is mainly because of people taking advantage of the drop but more likely are weak hands and will take profit back. forecast says that it will dip some more in the coming days.

Totally, not a celebration time. We are facing a much more powerful institutions and personalities compared before that we don't usually mind at all. They have a stronger force now so we need tighten our grip and never let them win because other big players are going to fight along with us but they just need time to set things in motion.

I think we don't see the game change until autumn. Bear and bull will continue they fight in level 6k-7k. Until this big triangle will be finished.

Indeed. Bitcoin has dropped quite a lot and a few hundred dollars up isn't any reason to think that there will be a reversal. Not yet at least. I think there's a lot of manipulation happening and we'll probably have this slow movement whether up or down until the last quarter, when i think the real reversal will happen.

Unfortunately, in my opinion, I don't think bear season is over. There are still process of market correction. we need for an extremly new technology or nothing will be changed

The bear season would've been over at the end of June but when the news came out that some of the cryptic wallets in the market are not safe people stated to retract money from the cryptocurrency market and this depreciation in the market cap led to another bear market situation

I don't think bear season is over yet.What we are seeing now is deadcat bounce from 6000$ range.I think more blood bath is coming for altcoin.
Media is very negative about cryptocurrency now, specifically to say about bitcoin.And honestly to say no one knows when will the bull season come again.
Bitcoin has  a major support at 5800-6000$ zone if it breaks that price then we will see more blood.

There is no sure way to say if the bear is over. We need to see more green and bigger up days  and see market trending up for longer than a few days to start. 

Hopefully now the end of the market is bearish,
and the start of bullrun until the end of the year

I think the bear market is not over yet. This market is going down a few more times. But we should not be too disappointed about it. Trust the value of Bitcoin and hold it for a long time. It is a way to make us less anxious and to maintain positive thoughts.

No, i don't think the bear season is finished. The bear season seems very long, but it is still not finished.

I think a slightly bigger drop will follow in the next coming weeks and then it's to the moon by the beginning of 2019.

Agreed . bear isnt over yet and it is pretty obvious when you look the market now , all coins are still in red and recently eth had a major downfall but now it is showing signs or recovery .  lets hope other coins will also follow especiallly bitcoin because bitcoin hold the price of majority of altcoins .

I also suspect that the bear trend will be over after we hit the month of october because that would be the start of the q4 and everyone is expecting a bull when we reach this last quarter of the year.

I think we will have a nice support around the 8500-9000 mark, we will need to hold this line for a while before starting our next run up.

you're wrong, the bearish season is over for the altcoin,
but for bitcoin it's probably not over, seeing from the bitcoin chart will probably be stable at 6500-6900 $

I think the bear market is not over and it will probably still happen as long as the market has not entered the area at the end of the year, the price of bitcoin and some other cryptocurrency will never be able to experience price increases and bear markets still occur like this.

Well bear market is still there so we can't celebrate yet because many things will be happen before market over the bear market. The beat we can do is still believe and hoping that this bearish situation will be over soonest.

We've had a small upswing in the last few days, but it is way too early to say the bear is over. We needs months of steady price rises before we can have any certainty.

I hope so, if we look at last year Q4 was a revival for all coin prices, and for now it has slowly began to rise for all coin prices so now it's time to buy.

I think still, it is not over yet because the price of Bitcoin is very stable at the price of 6500$ while other altcoins are slowly recovering from their previous prices. Still, the market seems to be in a bearish mode which we cannot able to predict how long this will continue in the market.

The bear season is still going on and ahead of us is waiting for the renewal of the minimum prices this year

We cannot call this time the season of the bears or bulls. This is the time of these trends' fight. Hopefully, the bull run can start at least lot later than December.
