If you have been in this crypto industry, especially in this period, you would keep hearing "bears" Who do you think are the bears that we keep mentioning?
1. Are they some group of people who aim at destroying the market each time?
2. Can anyone at all be call a bear?

Personally, I think that in our current bear period, traders are the main bears because they keep taking us back just because of the little profits they will get.

There are no bears anywhere I want to believe
Just group is rich dudes who directs the path of crupto currency prices and volumes to their advantages

And they benefit more by the panic activities of respective hodlers / dumpers

It's the market situation itself that we've been calling the bears. There will be some other meaning depending on the use of the word but it would always be directing to the situation of this market. "We're on the bear market" which means that we're still on the lows of this market and most people are selling. If the word is directing to some specific people or group, they are those people that has always negative sentiment about the market, so we usually say 'those bearish people'.

There is always a manipulation in market, people are scooping up btc and other crypto but most of those big trades happen over OTC markets, so we don't see much effect on price tracking sites.

Well first you can speculate against BTC now and second alot of early adopters were cashing out over the last year. I think we will see a new ATH sooner or later, but for that we need another big hype on CC in general.

Never got that in  my mind because bear market it is like situation which is get down trend and we all know maybe there are big people is behind it. Maybe it is true that trader itself who actually bear because they which make price stagnan or down.

I believe that the bears of this days are those who hurriedly dump their token immediately it gets to the exchange. These are people killing the market price.

Manipulating is always come when people think it is bear/bull trend I hate those people controlling the market by the way in cryptoworld you will always encounter the word "bears" this is a group of people that manipulating the price other people called it a dumper and then those trader go beyond in this flow of crypto.

You mean whales? Every coin have their own whales and group of whales, these are people or group of people who spend time and money to hoard and hype coins they are holding, and ICO is a good time to be a whale or part of the whales that is the reason we never run out of ICO investors.

Bears aren't group of people ,its just a meme for market condition when dips happens and stay around its called 'bear market ' and when surge in price happens its called 'bull' market. As for market manipulators we call them whales

I think the bears should be referred to the forces of demand and supply. The invisible hand according Adam Smith. Though business environment has a role in the fluctuation of prices; rumours, news, government policy etc. On the other hand their might be cartel or cabals too directly or indirectly influencing the market.

You are right, for the very first time BCH was the one which disastered the market by making a manipulation which created a huge impact on every single coin and till now we are in this bluddy bear market. It's big investors who plan all these stuffs to buy coins for cheap prices.

I think you are confusing the bear and bull with whales,the bear is used for the declining period of bitcoin prices in long run and the bull is used for uptrend of bitcoin prices which is not denoting any persons as you thing.Whales are the people who may manipulate the prices because they are holding huge amount of cryptos which enough to distract the price movements at any time.

You can't take a conclusion easily, a little bearish trend was happening to the market and that means there will be a lot of possibilities that get another pump or even dump. We will need a very long time to see the big bullish trend will come back again in the future.

you are indeed confusing a lot of different definitions with each other!

first lets start with the market definitions:
bull market: is simply a market where you expect prices to go higher so in this market buying on each dip is recommended.
bear market: is simply a market where you expect prices to drop and continue to go down so in this market selling on each high is recommended.

similarly a bull is a trader that speculates the market is in "bull mode" so he acts accordingly (buys in dips) and a bear is the opposite meaning he sells.

the only trick to be successful is to speculate when it is a bull market and we are in a bear market so that you can act accordingly because if you act as a bull in a bear market or a bear in a bull market you will lose money because you are going against the current.

Yep, indeed. That's what actually people do right now, taking back their profit or their investment is better rather than holding. there are no whales in the period.

      Bears are not a certain group of people, but they refer to a certain period of the crypto market in which prices are falling very much. It is generically called the period of bears by crypto users. However, we can consider bears as those who invest in crypto and immediately withdraw their investments when things do not work the way they want. That affects the crypto market a lot. You have a lot of patience on the crypto market.

you have really made me understand the whole terms. Thanks a lot and indeed, I was confused at first but you have clarified things to me.
I will not blame people for selling at higher prices this time again because that's the only way to make money.

Bears are usually associated with big traders who are shorting the market. Perhaps those weak hands or panic sellers can also be included in this category  ;D

No, imagine, no one trade for one day. What wll occur, volume will be zero and people will think that it's the end. They will start panicking and sell with lower price. The price will be dumped more. I think everything is okay now.

Anyone can be a bear. Bear is someone that is pessimistic about price of Bitcoin. Some people are always pessimistic. Some people are always optimistic. They are bulls. Many people are sometimes optimistic and other time pessimistic. That sounds most reasonable. So they are at some point bears and at other time bulls.

Yeah for sure. I have heard that the market is still manipulated from big whales and the reason of this fall is that another big guys wanted to enter the market. The market was dumped and as soon as these guys will fill their pockets, we will fly.

what bear? theres no bear out there. its just the whales manipulating the prices on the market. take a look at this week market prices. the volume doesn't change but the market falls.

the bear here is the state of the market going down and what causes the market to go down is whale they manipulate market prices so i think small traders are not market makers to be bears

The market is moving in groups of people. What motives they have, what they strive for, unfortunately, we cannot know. If we knew, we could benefit from it.
All the scammers, some members of teams are bears. That's for sure.

Traders can not be bears or bulls in the long run. Sometimes a trade can last a split second. They do not move the market, but create additional liquidity for the market.

So you think just because of whales the market continue to fall? I guess it's a bad prejudice. Many factors make the bearish market stay longer but not the whales which are the main cause. Take a look at the negative news that has come up so far, many countries that give poor results to the regulation of cryptocurrency, scammers and hackers are other causes that provide a longer bearish market stay.

The bears and the bulls are the traders. If they have a lot of money respectively can rapidly affect the price.

bears are bulls? The term from which the your words, bears have been explained by other people is the right market situation which traders call them. It's been a long time and the term bear is not believed to be someone but to a group or a team then executes everything to the specified point, but also the trend says otherwise all traders are almost trapped in that condition so the situation is not conducive you can see the term trader on google search engine

Traders are those with vested interests on the price. The bears are used to describe the behaviors of the market.When the general tendencies is towards a lower price of an asset, you could describe it as the  "bears" taking the market.The opposite describes the market bulls.

Bears? I think it's probably the whales. It is not known for sure, that's why they are whales. I believe that this is a large group of people who own cryptocurrency, not individuals.

the bear is the trust of the trader, when there is no trust in the trader, the bear market emerges. The market will grow if there is trust in every trader.

I think that whales are just people who create price manipulation, but they do not create a trend movement. they simply do not have such resources

The market is not regulated by anyone, including traders or investors. I still believe that it all depends on market demand and the bear market will emerge when demand for coins on a large scale, small traders can only benefit from what they did at that time.

whales and FUD mate is the only one who keep destroying the market which is the only one as well who can manipulate the directions of growth rate into bearish. "Bearish" is not a people which is it's a scenario that always happens especially when the market experience a massive declined.

Bears are a group of traders who, during market shocks, try to sell their coins in order to further reduce their price and buy at a better value. We can clearly see this in recent months, the market is under the influence of bears and is subject to constant manipulation for no apparent reason.

All traders can be called bulls or bears depending on the phase of the market. Traders after rising prices and selling assets should re-buy and turn into bears.

Talking about bears today is generally not necessary, because today there is a vast majority of them. Those people who today say that BTC is an empty place or something like that are bears who do not want prices to go up.
