STRATEGIES TO INVEST IN A BEARISH MARKET

Cryptocurrency investment is one that is known with the ability to bring massive profits and returns. If properly analysis and risks are considered, an investment will always smile on every of his investments this has been difficult for investors as the cryptocurrency market has seen more than 70% price drop since december 2017 , thus the trend this year has been bearish. Its interesting to know that profits can be made in any market trends depending on your strategies and expertise.

Now what is a Bearish market ? This is simply when the people sell their holdings such that buyers are diminished at every time. When this is repeated , the tend is called bearish. The sellers are called Bears. 

Below are the Strategies to apply in a bearish Market.

1.Set Up Stop loss and Watch them closely : Stop-Loses and Targets are two of the most basic instruments that each and every cryptocurrency investor and trader needs to acquaint themselves with. Setting an order with a stop loss   is fundamentally like an electrical switch which guarantees that once the price set achieves a settled low point, a deal naturally happens. This guarantees that traders and investor don't make loss or bigger loss on their holdings. Its important to follow your trades after Setting a stop loss in case you will need to make advanced decision. 

2.Follow News :
It is basic for every cryptocurrency trader and investor to always follow the news especially for the sake of the cryptocurrencies they have invested in. Its good to follow steadily and closely through all social medias, Google News Alerts , RSS channels, and many more. This will help you to be updated with prices , latest development about the project and cryptocurrency community at large.

3.Understand the market trends and graph :
Traders and investors need to keenly observe and study the market trend and graph. In the past eight months, there has been slow and constant downfall with some little little uptrend in between the falls. Those that quickly observed this early would have known how to handle trade, investment and what more to expect as things unfold. So its necessary to compare past and present record to determine what might happen next and steps to take. This has proven to show high accuracy rate.

I hope this information helps everyone to be a better trader, investor and make more profits.

Thanks

If we have prediction the crypto market will turn in to bearish is better quit from the market and short the price in margin trading,  the price of crypto is very high volatility and in bearish market the price can be dumped more than 80%, so in this situation is very hard to have chance to make profit in spot trading. Only by short the price we can make profit.

Im in big loss now because enter in to crypto trading when bearish trend.  For beginner trader is better avoid to trade when crypto turn in to bearish  because we have little bit chance to make profit. There are alot of others different  asset to trade so we can put money there like stocks,  gold etc.

Your tips is useful for some but you should know that it's not going to work for everyone, we should discover our own strategy in making a profit during a bearish market some people think that bearish market is bad but for us (Investors) the bearish market is an indication of a right entrance to invest in cryptocurrency and when the bullish market hits... that's the time we are going to sell the coins we have invested.

But there are also other ways in order to gain profit from a bearish market one of this are day trading in which you're just going to buy a coin today and once it gains some price you're going to sell it the good thing about this is that you can earn easily however you can lose your coins easily too.

These information still lacks more things about what to do when the market is bearish. There are still more to know before you can trade a bearish market profitably.

That is the basic of trading, it may not the correct way to trade in the bear market, in the bear market we need a better strategy and able to predict more precisely, in bear market we need to pay closer attention to the chart to see the turnover, it need more experience to make profit in bear market, and it's not that simple to make profit in the bear market

Have you sold at loss? If you have not, then you are not in any loss. A lot of you tend to compare your asset with fiat in the short term, but of course, that is what the market players want you to think, that you are in loss, but all it takes is to understand that there is future for the market, and for the fact that no matter what, as long as you know what you are holding has long term potentials, then you have nothing to worry about, and the only thing you can just do now to help yourself is to be patient or be buying the dips to even out quickly in the long term.

These are the methods of general trading and not particularly for bearish market! For bearish market, the strategy is to take a short position if you don't want to ride small price changes! Otherwise, we all follow news, we all try to understand graphs and charts and majority of us set up a stop loss during our daily trading activities! This are general practices only!

But if you want to ride the declining market and trend, shorting an asset is your best bet!

The best strategy to use in this market is to short. It's high risk but high reward. Trying to time a buy correctly to hit a spike is very hard to do because the price is falling in general. When trading you should always try to go with the direction of the overall market or else you're going to be fighting a losing battle.

Stop stressing yourself emotionally bro. You invested during the bear market, and so what? What you should be more particularly interested in right now is the long term of what you are holding and not the short term trend of the market. It is a trend, and it will always change, so if you get yourself worked up emotionally, the chances of getting screwed by the little movement in the market and by making wrong decisions will be something that will occur and would be regrettable in the long run.

Profiting from a bearish market if you are a trader, is to know what you are looking out for when it comes to an entry position, and if you are long term investor, just profit more in the long run by buying the dips if you have more to invest or simply just be patient.

The easiest way to profit even still in bearish market is to just stop trading and wait for the rock bottom of the massive dip. Once the sell out is over by the whales a bull run will surely to follow. Even in day trading there are instances when the price will have an uptrend for a while then go down so better be alert.

I don't know mate, shorting at this market condition is not the best advise. Well if you're a experience trader then you can do it, but the risk is far higher for a common or casual trader like the majority of us. You need to be very careful on what coins you gonna choose and you have to be very quick as well.  Yes, Bots can help you out but its a different story. But for me, the best method if you're not than well verse in trading is just sit it out till the market call or just go long and wait for the bull run.

watching current bearish trend in market its good that newbie like me should not try to make money in this situation i will wait until there is major correction 

you shouldn't confuse a bearish market with a dumping market though.
a dumping market is unique to cryptocurrencies while bear market is not. in a bear market the price is going down and we know that because of the analysis of the market. for example after a bubble burst and a correction of sorts we see a bear market. but a dumping market is when there is a pump and dump going on and they are dumping an altcoin. in such market which is 100% manipulation, everything you know goes out of the window because none of it is valid anymore.

very tiring looking at the market today. this is not a problem for beginners, anyone will feel fed up with this drama. the decline in bitcoin this month has been the lowest since 2018. many predict that the decline will continue to maybe $ 3000.

Starting as a beginner in a bearish market is not a wise decision in my view , I think market needs to be more stable to be a good platform for traders , it is always harder to fishing in a stormy weather .

The market is really a bloodbath getting in this tips along side is really complicating even the news alone can't move the market is even getting it dip and more dip it goes. Actually its a good tip but one need to be careful.

We have this saying in forex " the trend is your friend " and we can still applies the samething to cryptocurrencies trading.  If you follow the trend there is no way you will not make profits.  Trend are in three face. We have the bullish trend,  the bearish trend and the sideways trend and you have to understand the indicators that push the market into any of trend in other to maximise your profits.
Remember that in bearish market you only make profits if you are trading usdt/ bitcoin or usd/bitcoin and not in other ways.  Goodluck.

On the bearish market we have to  be very cautious with holding as it can last long and the price of the coins could potentially decrease even 80-90 %.
We had such situations several times during previous  bear markets.
On bearish market we can make profit by shorting our coins and buying back cheaper or by day trading using scalping or swing trading .

Of course it won't be a good timing though.Trading is the best method of gaining profits in cryptocurrency but looking the market all in red again,i think let's wait for the market to be stable again before you trade.Following the news or monitoring the graphs or price charts can also help us decide either we can make a good trading at this moment or just wait for the right timing to trade.

Best opportunity to buy altcoins now for long term hold not for day trade because price will dumped at very lower price value last few days. Grab this opportunity before tool ate i think last month of this price will slightly pumped.

It sounds so easy, but yet people aren't actually able to benefit from shorting the market, or from swing trading now the volatility is back. People need to admit that they suck at trading, which isn't something to be afraid of to admit.

Out of curiosity I have used an app allowing me to trade with virtual--nonexistent funds, and I have done well to avoid trading with real money, because my trading adventure with that app once again proved that I will rekkt myself.

What's wrong with simply buying the market down? If you allocate 5-10% of your balance to buy every $250 dip from current levels, I am sure that you will eventually buy the bottom if we aren't done tanking yet.

We cannot take profit in bear market! If we have then it is only few. What we need right now is to hold. I sold my tokens when it was 500 sats because I thought it will fall to 200 sats. However, I am wrong because few days have gone by, it soar up to 1500 sats before it goes down. I am emphasize here is that, we need nothing to do in bearish period but to hold our tokens.

If you are a newbie and not well-experienced then you should avoid bearish market, as it wouldn't be suitable for you and in the end you will suffer losses. So, be careful and watch the market closely and then take decision.

So you need to analyze deeper next time because not all coins will decrease in the next minute because sometimes, some coins can increase higher and then get dumps too deep. In the bearish market, we could still make a profit and as long as we can buy at a low price and we can use the analyze for what is happening in the market, then I am sure that we can get that profit. But yes, it will need more analysis to find out the next trend so we can decide to hold, to buy or to sell.

Good tips, thanks to the author. The main thing is not to lose the mood and believe that in the world of digital money we are only at an early stage of development

Agreed, it's actually the approach I've taken because I'm not comfortable shorting the market. But a lot of people are interesting in short-term profits rather than a long-term approach, so for that they're going to have to try and short. Trying to time a pump is not going to be easy at all.

Looking at the Bitmex funding history, it looks like there are more shorts now than longs and it seems people are very close to shorting the bottom pretty much and there can be a short squeeze. So its more or less the complete opposite what happened in the last 2 weeks.

Everybody was bullish due to the upcoming BAKT and "November always being bullish month for BTC" that the funding rate was positive a few times, meaning more longs than shorts and look what happened.

Right now it looks like the short might get squeezed and either go up or head back down. The point is not to short at the bottom but wait for a bounce first.

I agree, in the crypto market is very important to be updated on everything that is happening, the war of bitcoin cash and many other pump and dump already showed us that it is a must to follow the news and be psychologically prepared for any news that the person read


Here in this part, people look at past movements and prices and believe that everything will repeat itself, that is because last year the price reached $20,000 so this year will be the same thing, but this is a big mistake and the people should not think so

Bearish market for me is not advisable for the beginners or newbies here in my opinion. Due to as we all know that Trading is not that easy to understand  were even the old member here even up to now they still didn't know the proper procedure to get a profit in trading market.  But if you really have an idea about in trading even your newbie you can go what you want it to do.  For me is my tips of advise only.

In addition to that trendlines and support line could also be of help in determining where to place your stop loss in bearish market and a wide stop loss is much preferable to avoid loss due to high volatility of the price.

Good suggestions mate. I think this can be really useful if one uses it; however, as everybody knows, people in this market, especially those who are no that serious are more inclined to doing ventures without even studying the background of where they are putting their money in. I mean, many people are still nailed in that phase where it's easy to invest in the cryptocurrency market and the chances of getting good returns were easy as well, but that belongs to the past now, the good old days so to speak. Nowadays, since the market is always dormant if not slow in terms of movements, it's way more difficult now to get something positive, which is why, in this dire times, one must employ all necessary means just to keep their investments and ventures going.

If you are not super rich none of this would work for you. I mean you can use stop loss which would make you lose money in the end, just because you didn't lose 20% but only lost 10% doesn't mean you didn't lose money, if you keep doing that in bitcoin world in the end you will end up with a lot of money that you lost because of the stop loss management you are doing.

If you followed news in the past 2-3 weeks you could have seen that there is a great positive outlook of bitcoin, everything was going great, everyone really loved bitcoin and the price seemed like it was going up. It didn't, some crazy man sold a lot of bitcoin. Graph could mean NOTHING, graphics and indicators and all that thing can go to garbage all I care.

The real issue here is that when a crazy mt.gox trustee, or a crazy Craig Satoshi wannabe sells their coins, NO graph can calculate that.

This.

The only way to make profit on a bear market, is only to buy on a crash. Use marging trading with leverage to short bitcoin or any other coin.

or...

have inside information about coins that are gonna be pumped or something like that

Sorry but I don't think these tips is for bearish market only and I don't think it can help in this situation.  You said that follow news right? How if there are all good news but market keep falling? You said that understand the market but how if it's unpredictable? LOL.

Its not easy to make money in a bear market.

Everybody was bullish when BTC was $20K and when it went to $6K everybody got upset and became a big bear.

However the consolidation at $6K lasted from the Summer till about last week. I am pretty sure most bears went either neutral or bullish since it "looked" like $6K was the yearly low. I am pretty sure most bears didn't hold a short from $6K down to $3.5K earlier. The plunge was mostly due to the amount of liquidated longs when $6K broke.

I think at the moment shorting BTC or other alts is very very risky. We are extremely oversold zone and if we have not bottomed yet, the bottom is near. And when the price starts to rise, 5k and 6k will be very fast.

You're not the only community who encountered big loss, we are on the same page actually. But for what I did now instead of doing trade in the market while is is bearish flow, I suggest to hold or be a bullish as of the moment dude. Because it will be very hard for you to get profit in the situation we had it now mate. Because look at the price value of Bitcoin it was down  to 4000$ almost.

Trading a dip and Arbitrage is the best way to make trading profits during a Bearish Market.

Remember, always that bitcoin is not designed to be an investment tool, It is an exchange tool. At the end the real value will depend on how far its used as per it design.

Just my thought!

It is very hard to earn to a bear market since you wouldn't know when the price would up, but I guess when you are in short you can profit a lot from that.

Actually holding for the long term could be a bad choice, yesterday there were many altcoins that died due to the destruction of the bitcoin market, I think when bearish it shouldn't do short-term trading if you aren't too expert, wait until conditions improve and normal first, it's more wise..

There are many methods of trading bearish market. If you decides to trade bearish market with normal methods, you loose your money. One method that has worked for me very well is trading breakout coins. When you trade breakout coins, you hardly feel the effect of the bear market.

If you want to invest, it is very important to correctly determine the entry point for the purchase of cryptocurrency. Today is the best day to buy cryptocurrency. If the price still falls to the bottom, then quite a bit, and then there will be a recovery.

what's about the prizes (for winners on contests)?
I think it could be a potential "profit" on this bearish market. I know several campaigns when you can win some good stuff. My personal experience - not so big amounts, but it was pretty nice to receive Ledger and some ETH/BTC bonuses.
Any doubts about this scheme?

Do not trade anything if you are not knowledgeable or experienced enough to actually pull it off. If you are a newbie in the markets the bear time is not good for you and you should not trade. By "trade" I mean the short term trading, mainly daily but weekly neither.

If you are a newbie just go for the long term investment, don't look at the prices and just search the projects and see which ones looks like the best ones to you. If you research enough you will know everything about the projects you look at. Still, don't buy into everything, there is a tendency to buy a coin you research and that's not healthy, just because you know everything about it don't think it will go up, have like 20 coins you really love and only invest on the best 2 ones. Wait around a year and it will hopefully be better off (unless its 2018).

Learn, Learn Learn. Practice X10000

the only thing to make a profit during bearish market is to do a day trade, yes the market is moving towards different direction it is ups and downs so you should monitor the market for you to earn a profit.

i dont know will you follow or not my strategy but i am following always and its make me happy. When i going to start trading try to keep my mind cool and fresh. I dont trade aggressively and always i keep some portion of my trading amount for adjusting if price fall down.

Even though your strategies are indeed good and effective most probably, one must find his own strategy that suits him best. I prefer investing in ICOs and Masternodes to be honest, and bearish market offes many valuable options to be honest.

Why not shortsell if you know that it's going to be more bearish? It's really hard to go long and hope for trend reversal in bearish market. So why not go with the short selling trade right?

I have found an interesting campaign -one of the exchanges launched a contest for traders. As I understood from the rules, participants should hold the coins to the end of the contest. So we will increase our +EV expectation, plus we will have a chance to win some good stuff. here the link to the contest on Coinsuper exchange. announcement (https://www.coinsuper.com/cms/noticeContent/article?articleSeqNo=1618360311120056323&title=Announcements). I hope it can be helpful for somebody

On this bearish market, I think we have only one good solution to hold our money or growth it. For the short it can be profitable I think.

You can check out this thread for people who dare to buy in a bear market: (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5080286.0). He posted images as well so everyone can see how he made profits in short amount of time. Maybe he got lucky or what, but the point is, its really possible to make money if you have the combination of knowledge and skills and the willingness to take the risk.

number two is science that I still use today, even yesterday when the Project Shivom platform updated their project, XYO tokens went up by 40% and of course this is only for people who want to read the news
from here I also know, why smart people like to read newspapers in the past, because information is very important, even though smart people don't know about update information, then they will not be able to succeed

Thats great because people who allocate funds too much exceed their abilities. of course they will panic when prices drop because
they think they will lose too much. therefore in trade managing funds is also very important

I would like to add my opinion about the take-profit targets.
Do not set very high TP targets. This can take away your profits. How many times have there been situations where price didn't get few points before the order limit, and falls to the deeep bottom then...
Do not be greedy, in general.

Trading in bear market is risky so short term trade is advisable than long term trade in this kind of market
Or else you would be trap on every dip after dip
They said in margin trading you can earn even in this bear market but i havent tried it as well for it is too risky too.

My tip to have profit during in a bearish market is not to sell your cryptos when you see the bear market because you will result to a loss. Buy more cryptos and hodl on whatever cryptos you have and make it as long term investment.

Stop loss can be very helpful at most times in trading. Whether for bullish or in bearish market. But I may agree that all of your tips are quite helpful. Learning the trends and the charts will help you to decide whether to enter or to enter the market. News can also be the reason for the market sideways or the change of mood of the market. It is also good if we can get in touch with the news related to bitcoin.

Recently, I am convinced that the analysis of the cryptocurrency market defies no understanding. It is very difficult to understand what exactly is happening, as well as what controls the whole movement. Unambiguously, everyone understands that it is Bitcoin that influences the pricing of all cryptocurrencies, but at the same time its importance is stuck on one level. What to expect further is not clear.

One of the best strategy I used in making profits even in a bearish market is trading between normal coin and usdt, no matter how bearish the market is, one thing that never change is that there will always be a fall and rise in the price of crypto coin which can be of great advantage once one is able to swap between usdt and a normal coin, once there is going to be a drop, you swap for usdt, and once the dip has happened, you swap back to normal coin.

Making use of stop-loss cannot be a strategy IMO but it is part of your entry/exit cycle of a trade. Stop-loss is a feature for that we may go for to cut loss earlier so that we may avoid big losses.

You mean that we must have bitcoin to be at stable price levels so that we may trade all other cryptocurrencies with ease predictions ? There are traders who target USD value and I am a trader and I always look for BTC value. I guess now you may get how to trade regardless of where bitcoin market is trading.

At some point, shorting in a margin trading can always be profitable. But, let's frequent remember that setting stop loss should be done whenever you enter trading. Shorting will be changed accordingly. Depends on the market's unpredict way. We can not easily say that it will dumpred 80%. Most of the times, it is just a fall to liquidate traders.

I followed the news and I got nothing.
There are times when trends go wrong.

I bet there are a lot of users here who also agree with me.
Dont follow the troll box. That is one big rule for me.
I have been a victim with that kind of strategy. I say it works for newbie mostly.

The information is good and possible for the newbie to apply that during the bearish market. Even we are in the bearish market Im still earning because I do some strategy when the bear market cames. Strategy is different during the bull market or when the market is very high compared to the market when they are bear or dump. You can use other strategy that suitable to you.

In the present case, I agree with you that everything is not working properly. But we can not say that there is not a chance. Yes, the chances are less than last years, but not zero.

I agree with you. By following these simple tips you can minimize your losses. Unfortunately, not everyone understands this and then fails.

These are only basic tips on trading that you must learn especially newbies whos eager themselves to step in on trading but the real thing they have a lack of knowledge that might result in huge losses. It must be you to understand well how it works in trading, do your own research is a very important thing and of course, having also your technical analysis and tools is very important.
However, during the bearish trend, you can't an easy move because there are too many barriers to it it would be better during the bearish trend is to invest and take a break from trading.

This is just what I hold most in taking profit during this kind of market. I agree that it is so hard to take profit during these times but there could be some ways for you to have some profit in your trades. This includes the following the trend. As we all know and we interpret, coins depends on the news. Whenever that there could be a listing of the coin, that's a great news. You can buy the coin and have some profit. The best news to follow is from twitter. But, becareful choosing news because most in twitter are just hype.

Sometimes, news work and sometimes it doesn’t, all we see in news are all speculation and some of them will surely coincide with the reality, although when it comes to development that will be based on cryptocurrency, they sure have a very long role to play in the price because these are what help people make decision in their investment plan.

The very important tool is our technical analysis and can only be helpful for daily prediction or short term prediction. For a very long term investment, they will have no choice than still to believe in news and learn to spread more of the positive ones.

I think you tips and advise will going to work for the beginners I guess. In fact, even the old traders it hard for them to get profit due to the market was too unpredictable. And even We know that day trading can give profit, it will still hard to get that thing dude. So if you don't want to loss your coins better to hold in a long term.

Invest intelligently & diligently. Don't just be money monger. Many people want to make X1000 profit but are not even ready to learn about what their money is investing in. Your knowledge about the investment should be greater than the money~rule 1. Spend more time learning than you spend investing~rule 2.

We can make it both, learning while we are investing by then. But we don't need to wonder too much cause it can't be possible during at bear market.
We don't need to rush and to become millionaire, and looking for a certain coin that could give us a hundred times profitable.  Our market never give that actually, instead we should be contented for small profits we've got during bear season.

Bearish market does not guarantee us that we can easily make huge profits but it would be the best opportunity to buy more potential coins and keep holding them until bullish season comes. But we can still make profits during bear market. We just have to be contented with the small profits we gained.

There are lots of people that are finding the market difficult this time around. But however, we can still earn some profit from our trades if we play accurately. Cryptocurrency is a volatile asset and you can lose if you don't take things carefully. Setting stop loss is another thing to consider carefully, how you set your stop loss while trading is very important, if you set it short, the trade will cut off at that short loss and it might be at that time that the price will start to go up.

I just do HODL every time I feel like there is going to be a Bull run. Just like in 2017 I was able to buy at $1000 each and hodl till the price goes to $19000 and I sold each around $17,800 when the price started to drop. I'm doing the same thing this year cause I feel like there is going to be another bull run. I only do campaigns and also Faucets, that's my way of earning and whether the market is in bear doesn't really matter to me cause I can still earn money no matter what.

Indeed, it's our biggest opportunity to grab while we still have good chances for cheaper coins that has good future. Keep choosing those right coins for holding, and avoid the shit ones. If we want to gain great profit after all we must wait for the right time, and avoid rushing our decisions it might stressed you out when sudden price collapse will happen. There might be some instances that we can trade some small amount of coins in order to survive, but expecting much bigger profit is still not possible to make these days.

I'm always searching for a strategy on how to earn during bearish trend this is a common tips in trading like set stop loss and target sell order even in bull market I use tgis strategy but the good thing I see when the market are in bearish situation we have a chances to buy more while the price are in low.

For practical choices or just using up our own common sense then choosing the top 10 rank coins on entire market would be the best thing yet they are indeed cheaper compared to their ATH's.
Recovery isnt guaranteed but theres a possibility that we would head up again on that path so come to think that profitability is somehow do have that high chance.If you can risk out some spare
money into some shitcoins then its your choice.

I'm not sure that this strategies is only useful in bear market, those strategies can also be applicable on bull market.

And if I may, I want to add 1 more strategy on bear market. Cut Loss if you must !

Exactly.Bearish market gives us all the chances to accumulate more coins with great potentials.But trading in bear market might be harder to make profits.You should be an expert trader atleast so you can trade easily and still make good profits.Its more important to learn to read and understand the charts and graphs because they can be helpful too in trading when bearish market is here.

Of course, in bearish prices can move up and down very extreme and even unpredictable, news that is an important reason in changing prices can give you wrong direction, once again, you have to know when to stop for a while and buy again when the opportunity comes and conditions have improved

Sometimes, the cut loss is a big helper for us especially if the market is at the very unstable moving. We don't have a sign for where the price wants to go so when the price started to get down, and we could use the cut loss to save the balance although we are losing the balance. But that will help from a big loss.

However, in the bear market, it is better if we could sell whenever the price increase so we could take the profit without waiting for a long time. Besides that, I think as long as we can see a chance to sell at the next increasing of the price, we could eliminate the lose. But that will need more analysis to know the good time to sell the coin.

yes your statement was absolutely true each and every points of you was really useful in this type of situation because if we had follow the same strategies will not work in this type of situation also we need to make the difference in our strategy is only helpful for everyone to get the prophet like the previous days.

Its better to hold your money than invest and take the risk of the market because no one can say if its gonna dump because until now crypto coins not also pumping up after the year of 2017.

More traders lose their money because of the bearish market because they will not know what is best to do once this happens.
The tips that you posted is good as long as the person know what they do that and everyweek I follow every news about cryptocurrenxy even Im busy and Im earning money even last year we experienced bearish market.

Perhaps you are right, but for me I got most profit on the last bear market even I am small trader. Profits means I have almost recovered my lost fund which has hapoend beginning of bear. If you can choose potential coin then it's very easy to recover fund on bear market. Because there is very low chance to lose, bear means already dumped. So profit depends on choose of coin.

It was good when I read your topic here. But only deep individuals can follow and understand what you are explaining here.
Because majority of the community will not get the point easily of what crypto really all about and Bitcoin too. Most of the people here are looking for profit almost all of us actually, right? Even they apply your tips but it won't be easy to understand on their side.

Hey dude, what part of it do you not understand that we are in the bear market and we will definitely come out of it, before the 2017 you spoke about, there was bear market and the strong hearted ones didn’t just keep their FIAT inside the pocket, they saw it as an opportunity to invest and they took the risk, see how 2017 rewarded them.

You cannot get reward on your money by keeping it in your pocket, life is full of risk everywhere, we can’t keep shying away from them, and ability to manipulate the risk and get a positive result is what makes us stronger. We are in bear market now and this is the best time to invest for the future.

And it looks like we have seen the reversal of the market, the bear is out and the bull market has commenced. So for those who are worried and complaining that they can't make money in the bear market then it's time to change strategy. Don't bitch around but adjust your trading/investing plans because of the chance to recover what you have lost in the bearish cycle for more than a year.

Even during the bull trends , there are times you should be making use of the stop loss, and that’s when the market has reached its peak cause it can drop at anytime and you will lose. Next, I do see some people that say following the news is a waste of time, but I don’t believe that to be true cause there are times that you will see get to see important news that can move the market to another direction.

If you do not follow the news you will not be able to know when someone with influence will say something that can make people change their mind and start buying or selling. I don’t really follow most of these influential people on Twitter ,so the news is a way to be catching up with the important information they give out.
