This time totally different from 2018 situation. Still i am beliving that no bear market comes. so what time will come , i think in another 3 months?

Honestly, This current market condition is already on bear market since the price of all coins dump for a long period of time since Bitcoin price crash recently. But wait for confirmation for trend reversal first before you enter on the current price since we still didn't know if we already hit the bottom or not. A multiple retest on the support and strong defense will gonna ignite the trend reversal.

I really would like to know about this but there is no way to do so I am afraid. This period still seems like a bear market to me. Because Bitcoin hasn't even climb over the 41k-dollar level again yet. It doesn't give good signals for another rally.

For me in my view bear market is already ended wherein market just gaining strength now to make good improvement soon when it becomes fully recovered.. Maybe yes after 3 months but still we need to wait for more results because at this moment seems there are more fuds and factors that really keep the market become stagnant.. Just be patient mate.

Regardless of whether it's a bear market or not, what's clear is that today is a day when the market has started to saturate, and it's felt by all traders, but not for investors because they are actually taking advantage of a big correction to add to their crypto coffers at a big discount.
One thing we need to reflect on and plan strategies going forward, is that what steps will traders take when a big correction occurs? choose to be the old holder or end the loss because their mental is already broken?

Not clear for sure unless it shows a sign where we at the bear market but if most of the crypto are just in correction from it's ATH I don't think that's a bear market. I think we've seen enough of the movement down and sellers are getting tired, we aren't always going down so do going up but this time I think we gonna make some new ATH and I'm excited alts will be the one to make a move.

Bear market is already here, the same way that bull market slowly take over the entire crypto space since December 2020 is the same way that bear market will take over, believe what ever you want to believe but don't have a high hope

The market are still unpredictable to happen we never know what would chart come along in another 3 months maybe you are true that market has totally different from 2018 situation or not. What is best for sure is to wait for the confirmation before it stick to plan on the strategies being applied.

This market situation is confusing. I am not understanding what will happen with bitcoin price in next hour. I hope market will stable in some weeks.2-3 days market was going in green candles but today market has again crushed. BTC has come from 38k to 34k and all altcoins dropped 6-7%.

Currently, we see that the price of bitcoin is in the range of 33 to 40 thousand dollars. And depending on where the exit from this range will be, the BTC price will continue to move in that direction. I want to believe that the bull run is not over yet. Otherwise, we may see BTC at a price below 30 thousand dollars.

how can you say there is no bear market coming, because the market is currently in a bear run and of course I am sure if the price of BTC is below $30k, then the market will fall even further, but I still don't recommend you to panic sell and still hold cryptocurrency that we have, because I believe the market will definitely increase again and return our profits, so we just need to be patient and wait until the market returns to a bull run.

You are optimistic that there wont be a bear market but still predicting when that would be  :D. Market correction is part and parcel of any market and the cryptocurrency market is different from other markets and since it is relatively new the market volatility is really high in either directions. So it is hard to predict when we will have a major correction, even in the past few days we have seen some major correction in some coins but i am still expecting the market to rally until we see a blood bath.

There's no specific time frame for this, as long as whales or even one of those institutional investors are enjoyed manipulating the market especially those very influencer people that keep making noise in social media to drag down the market price including Bitcoin.

But yes, I presumably guessing that there's no bear market comes.  The recent correction was the result of FUD that makes people panic and selling their crypto assets on portfolios.  But at least we should always be ready for the possible outcome, we know that there's no infinite growth price in the market and it could be drop every now and then, but yet, we're still in a healthy market compared to last year.

In fact, right now I think crypto is in a bear market. in fact, I'm waiting for the moment when the bull market returns. currently, I am collecting as many assets as possible, so when the price is pumped, I already have enough assets for it. I think that the price improvement will start in the coming June.

It will be better to keep updated and grab some chance to still buy even a minimal amount since we don't upto how much it will drop and we might lose chances to buy at these rate when the price goes up. It can be a bear market but we should handled and plan it carefully to stay away from fuss and keep focus on our goal whether to hold or to keep trading.

Bear? Man we are 40% down the road and some alts are like 150-400% down in the market value. This is the discount offer you can get right now on any currency in the market.

There is no more bear now, all the currencies are at standard resistance point and they are stable. They will do little ups and downs and then boom, ready for the next quarters pump.

We are exactly at the right point of year when crypto takes down turn and then by year end we see cool up surge. So this is it mate.

still too soon i think the bear market will start next year right at the start of q1 2022 it is in my opinion but everyone can think differently, my prediction is just a correction for bitcoin and altcoins going higher maybe 70k $ to btc target in Q3 or if the bullrun is over then it will be a long start for the crypto market.

3 months is very short for me,because it could be 1 month from now, in June there will be a decline, because the patience of investors began to be a little unsure of the very fast increase at that time..
but it all depends on the public's interest whether it is able to survive or not..

What the bear you means? If its a 90% decline of the price i bet it wouldnt happen.
But for a trend recently, i think its already bear season, now market is to afraid to start another bull and we now on accumulation phase first.

Crypto market looks so uncertain right now and I'm still expecting more decline in price in coming weeks, do not be deceived by small recoveries happening right now, downward is the only path that's left, my plan is to gather some money and buy coins at cheaper price and hodl for another bull cycle which can take years, bull market is officially over

Another prediction as the last history. Anyone can do what I believe, but do research all the time pump history. Maybe you could find something there. You will never know when the market will turn back from history. I think we should be ready for every situation during any bullrun.

I agree that it's different from 2018 but the bear will come if this isn't the bear market. We'll never know if there's a bounce that's about to happen anytime soon.

But I'm believing that we have to go through this for bitcoin and the market itself to have that rise again that we've never expected. That's why you need to be calm in such situations so that you know what you're going to do.

And which position you shall be in and sell some.

Not over really, theres some fresh money will come to the market soon. Nowadays my plan is to buy little bag every dips happen, so i wont regret missing those opportunity.

Enough to enjoy the ATH, we're done with that. Although we can't say that the bear season has totally started as the price still above $30k but it for sure was going down below that price. It takes time, and still have time to sell our Bitcoin if we wanted to or you just hold.

But what I'm gonna thinking for the coming days, it is more likely a bloodbath will come.

Let’s accept this fact, we are slowly getting there and bear market can’t be stopped by any tweets anymore. The market is already over bought now is the time to go sideways and go down again. Don’t worry I believe this time we will finish the bear market in just a short period of time, maybe in the next 2 years Bull will come again.

Expect the unexpected because its impossible to think nor presume a market wouldnt really be having a bearish season. The thing we dont like to see is market crash.
Corrections and price dips are considerable but sudden crash is something that we dont like to look upon but as a crypto enthusiast or investor then you should
always expect he probabilities because we have seen in the past on how this market behaves or move.So lets not cross out the possibilities that
it could happen in the future. No one knows on what would happen in next minute since this market is highly reactive to news and other factors.

Maybe yes, maybe no. This time, the market gets another bad time, making the price stay at a low price for some time.
But the situation will change soon, and we will see the rise of the crypto market.
In that time, the price will start the rally and who knows, we will see another ATH.
The correction will always happen, but this time makes us be patient and still focused on analysing, just in case the market can rise shortly.
At least, this year still higher compare to 2018, so we can hope we can make a profit.

The cryptocurrency market is in for surprise from it's historical trend and figures!  The bull market that happened from beginning of the year till last month was unusual and deviation from end of the year massive bull.  This  bear market may actually be s bear trap.  Institutional investors are making it difficult to predict the market!

When market is down, the most important thing to do is to wait it out. If you jump in on low prices, you will soon realize that there will be lower lows and so on! The consistent dip in price is signaking hear and the bear market will confirmed if there is no reversal in trend!

checking the market now?

it looks like the market is showing green back again now, and if this continue then we will be having 2nd quarter ender.

You are simply fooling yourself if you think that bear market isn't going to come, many believed this too in 2018 when all altcoins are mooning but later the bears takes over and many who already make millions and failed to take profit all became heart broken, only bubble investments rise like forever and crypto isn't not.

There's always up and down in any trading venue you need to realize and with it.

we can't conclude that bear is already dominates the as we still see attempts of bouncing back, we now have some green again

though it's still far from the last time high and most of those alts are still showing good bounce.
If there's no reversal anymore, then  confirmation of bear to dominate will conclude itself.

If the demand for investment in the market increases as before then there is nothing to be afraid of. The price of crypto market quality will go up and down now is the right time to invest as prices are falling the prices of the currencies will go up again even if you go down you will not go down very much. If the market improves a bit the bull trend will come.

I noticed a similar trend regarding sentiment.

The people who were around in 2017-2018 they are all thinking a bear market already started and are going to get out on the next rip. Probably when $42K breaks and they will liquidate most of their crypto at $50K or so.

The people who just joined in 2020-2021 they still are thinkking we will go to $100K. So the sentiment is very skewed at the moment and very difficult to tell where we will head.

Its bullish with all these tether and USDC prints that we are getting and it signals that people are still getting into crypto.

If this is not bear market then what should we call this period! It looks like bear market to me, the only thing I can say is since we are in different stages in crypto space perhaps the method of bear market have changed,  we have much bigger interest in crypto now than before,  more adoption now than before,  maybe all this good support is reason why bear market not so severe this time.

We cannot make a perfect prediction this is crypto and no one can predict on what happens in the next coming days. All we can do is to prepair for the posible dip of rising of the price, so we need to decide on our own and make research and continue to monitor the price for good .

I prefer to call the current situation a correction, because for crypto prices to go up a correction is needed. As we know the market has been bullish
since the beginning of this year until April, there has been no major correction at all. So it is very natural that when entering May until now there is
still a correction, but the problem is we don't know how long the correction will take. But I believe that with many institutions investing
in cryptocurrency, the correction should not last too long. Therefore, in a situation like now there is not much we can do other than we have
to be patient until the market recovers.

We cannot called Bear when the value is still more than what the recent ATH  from the  last halving.

20,000 is the last Halving ATH that take place in December 2017 and now that bitcoin price stays more than this then Bear is still not on the run.

---

Same as the altcoins that can be proven still bullying .

determining the right moment is actually quite difficult...

analyzing the market is a skill that is not easy, if we can know when is the best time to buy, of course, we will easily make a profit. the point is not to be bored to analyze and pay attention to the market, buy when the price drops drastically.

for now, hodl is the only way for us crypto investors. because if we cut loss now it will be very difficult to return the initial capital purchased at high prices, I think patience is the key

There are no certainties yet on when will this another bear market would end but let us hope that it wouldn't take as long as it was last 2018's bear market. For now, all we can do is speculate, watch the price movement and keep on holding if our faith towards bitcoin about recovering soon is very high. During the bear market last 2018, many people gave up due to the long continuation of market price drop and as they witness bitcoin on a much better bull run, they regretted. They might have learn right now so it is much expected that many will be loyal and firm with their holdings.

Bear market is not a standard one.When the bear market happen,you should use it and earn more from it.Making investment at the low and selling at high will gives you a hand full of profit.You should also concentrate on a bubbles.Bull and bear will come alternate manner.But bull run will give you more profit in a short period.

Ya at this current situation government or any others giant company in a position not being able to ignore bitcoin.

So they must walked with bitcoin.

I think we still far away from bear market.

It is really hard to measure how hard we entered into bear market. We can comment on it only after it ends possibly. By this I mean we are surely into bear market, but year is 2021 and not like old bear markets. Under heavy capital both bull and bear markets may interchange so quickly, this is what I observe now.

In any case, each bull run is not like the previous one, which means that each correction is also different. I would like to believe that this bull run will be different and the correction will not be as brutal as last time, but the crypt is cyclical, and it will fuel our hopes. Personally, I believe that scenarios can be different, including a drop to 25k, so I will keep some of the assets in stablecoins in order to buy the assets of interest to me on time.

Of course, this is totally different from 2018 because the bear was weak compared from the past years of bearish. Nowadays, more positive and brighter ideas came so it's so difficult for those FUD to manipulate just for statements without any strong evidence. Basically, every person who had been making up their conclusions would tend to generate good outcome as long they won't give up and strive harder to pursue their goals.

On a market like this then its really hard to ignore about the probabilities of bear market.We might be seeing some greens or good run as of this moment

but we shouldnt really let ourselves way too confident that this market would continue to be like this.Therefore, it would be wise if you do already know on how to secure out your profits while you still can.

No one knows on when bear market comes but be sure that you are already prepared once it is starting to take over or the market will really be having some flip out.

The market in 2021 shows a positive trend, the number of public figures who invest in crypto like Elon Musk keeps the market positive, we are waiting for Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg, Larry Page, Bernard Arnault and others to enter crypto so the whole world will use crypto.

We're on different price level so technically it's not the same just like the previous trend and looking at the market now, it's rising and trying to stay above the resistance especially the price of Bitcoin and the altcoins are just waiting for the bull signal before they move. Bear will come eventually, we must be ready for that because it may take another years before the market totally recovers, that's fine as long as you long the good coins.

While I'm pretty bullish on the market situation, I personally think we've started with a bear market. However, I see an opportunity again, and can not be sure what we can only make judgments to take measures for ourselves.

We are in the middle of the year yet nothing implies to bea Bear market coming , i  think that we will stay this way the whole year or maybe make more progress in the last quarter.

Wondering how much capitalization the whole market will have by the end of December?

can we finally reach 3 trillion? wild guess guys?

Define "Bear Market " mate?

https://coinmarketcap.com/

Is this what you called Bearishness  of the market? because it seems like not appropriate call.

so what are we having  now?

Because that is what OP is asking here.

are we in Bear market already or just a Bull that is only taking some Nap before running back again.

We already have the bear market with us, but this time, we see the bull market comes again because the price can increase from $35k to $40k. Hopefully, the next week, the price can still increase, break $45k and reach $50k. If that can happen, we can back to make a profit and we will have a chance to see another high price. But yes, the bear market can still come again, especially after the high price comes because the price will make a correction.

If that happened then we will see more flowing money inside the market, lots of investors will start investing again.

Knowing that there's another healthy investment since the bull are switching back and the bear corrections already showing some
weak side giving the bull to start dominating back, though it's only a speculation there are other possibilities inside this  volatile environment.

So far so good,,, BTC is above 40k again just about. It keeps facing resistance here but I think it is a good sign that it goes for the week but I think even if it goes to 45k we are still not safe from going below 35k again. Now we can only wait and see of course,,, what happens will happen as usual and we have to accept:)

nope  cutting losses is applicable anytime because if time comes of hype we will regain our losses and will make more income at the same time.
and also we are here to profit and profiting does not happen everytime from Holding if your strategy is for short time then cutting loss will always be the best  option .

The investor can feel confident entering the market because they will see their opportunity to invest in bitcoin. Hopefully, what we will see later is the bull run will come and give us the profit. If that really happened, it will give more chances to the price to reach the high price and who knows, that can make the price jumps instantly and surprise us.

Hopefully, the price now is the next lowest price or the bottom price so the price will have a chance to increase. But some people out there will not be happy to see the price now because maybe they do not buy bitcoin at below $39k ;D

Sometimes, watch the market will give us an idea to know when to enter the market.

Im not sure about that when we are seeing the current situation in the market. The bitcoin gets pumped but altcoin is still at the bottom and it's not even moving forward like what bitcoin does.
I think that we will see the price to be stabilized instead of get another bearish trend again. In the next quarter we will see whether the bullish trend will continue or not.
The fact that it's very difficult to predict because just with a single tweet from elon and bitcoin turns to be bullish

The market continued to have short corrections. At the $40k resistance, there are attempts from the bears. Based on crazy wills from tweets. Obviously this state is only for bears, it will be very difficult to trigger the bullrun, for me the indicators in the candle are still strong but it will be difficult to wick. I think the market is out of step according to the chart but the level jumps according to the news. It is very difficult to move.
To achieve a healthy level, we need more factors and catalysts than El Salvado, Taproot,...etc. My prediction is still bullish on $100k for bitcoin and the cap will be 3.5 trillion. :)

I share the opinion of the author. Globally, the bear market is not yet visible. The drop from 05/19/2021 that we saw is most likely a correction in the globally bull market. Now I see no serious reason to continue corrections for a long time. We slowly recover from the fall and gradually the market warms up again. The summer heat just melted the brains of many people. But the market has not fully realized its potential.

Price dropped which is a sign of bear market, but the price didn't kept falling so we also can't conclude it as bearish trend. And in this world no one can actually say when the market is going to turns out to be bearish or bullish which is why cryptocurrency market boomed in very short time period.

There are some speculations that bitcoin price will going moon one of this days so I guess its another bullish trend again after a short bearish trend of the crypto market. So the recent bear market is a good chance to invest in your favorite crypto token especially bitcoin because this for sure will gonna hit another ATH after the consecutive good news. However, this are only speculations still no one knows or no guess right prediction on what going to happen in bitcoin or in crypto market in general, still volatility of the market dominates.

or will not even come this year. at the moment I don't think it's a bear market, given the big gains a little while ago and now it's only retreating slightly to go back higher. although I want that bear market to come to be able to invest cheaply but I don't think it will come any time soon.

Well said. The market can still go to a better bull run that we've ever seen before the final rise that it can show and then the dump and the bear market enters.
There's still more to the market and we're going to see that happen anytime soon. We're still on that moment that the market is just balancing after it was oversold.

I understand what you're talking about, but the problem is that the market is still moving in very unpredictable directions, I'm not sure in my opinion but I still use it to get an overview more possible.
Like you said if that happens the next period will see the market explode again, and we will continue to be profitable :)

Yes, it is. The possibility for the market to explode will come soon. But as you say, the market is moving unpredictable so it is hard to predict when it will up or down. I am trying to enter the market and analyze before that, but while I analyze, the market changes the directions and I need to restart my analysis to find the other sign. So I decided to just wait for a while and not forcing myself to enter the market because I do not get time to enter the market.

it has come dude. We can't deny the fact that the bearish trend already happened but that's a non sense thing to expect the price will be going back to the price of last year when the pump has not happened.
The bitcoin is still searching for the best position to stabilize its price although it's really volatile.
The bear will not come again even worst than this time. I'm still feeling bullish with bitcoin right now and altcoin will follow

There will always be more unhappy people than happy in any point of the market:) Even during an ATH there will be loads of unhappy people who sold too early OR who did not as you say get in in time.

Watch the market? No:) Just buy and hodl and sleep and use and wake up and check when Google screams ATH:)

It's true that now the bear market has arrived and it can be said that it's time to buy some potential altcoins,
and before buying of course we need to do research so that we don't go wrong in buying coins,
talk about bitcoin i never doubt it and always have an optimistic view of bitcoin

don't talk as if you are serious and knowledgeable mate, because we are just in the middle of the year and there is more to come.
Bitcoin stays good for now because of Elon Musk playing the market but what we need to see is the stablished market that does not rely in one man or with manipulators instead we need a true and healthy market.

Good strategy than stress yourself in each market movements, if you have a good target.

Buy your asset from your desire entry and set your sell orders or store ypur assets to your safe wallet, pressure is not that much if you have plans with your investment, the cycle will just doing it's job so better to do yours too. More positive outcome to those who extend their patience and not to let emotions to lead them with bad decisions.

Yes, that is right. That is what happens in the market. If you can make a profit from any situation, that is good for you. But if you can not make a profit, maybe you need to wait for a moment. I think watching the market can be useful for you if you want to enter the market later. But if you choose to buy and hold and not watch the market, that will also be good for you. You can choose which one can make you comfortable.

it's not over yet and we still see a strong push for Bitcoin continuing to return to the top line. and only a slight correction to be footing, we see the red candle tail is not too long and it already shows there is strength for Bitcoin towards a fair price at the end of the year
it just takes massive adoption from countries that are soon adopting Bitcoin. It's not enough that El Salvador is at the front, we need other big countries to look at Bitcoin as an official medium of exchange instead of paper money.

Another failed attempt for btc to breakout, now it's going downtrend again with a red market in 2 days already. Maybe we are really destined to see a bear market for the rest of the year, we will be heading to the 2nd half of the year soon, and if this bear market continues, we might see more dumps and see a price of $20k or $10k the worst.

Same scenario keeps on coming all over again, and it all beyond our control so we need to be strong in every market struggles. Good projects will surely be drowning second to bitcoin's downfall, and if you're not having enough patience you tend to give up and sacrifice everything and panic selling is the last option. That 3 months isn't too far to wait, just let the days gone by and embrace what the future may bring for us.

It's the only thing we can do for now to wait for the market to recover. I can see that there is still another bull run before this year ends so we should start working for it while the opportunities are still reachable facing the current bearish season.

If we dream of making profits in the future, holding of our old coins is not really enough. We can think of buying more potential altcoins this time particularly those that are listed on top ten coinmarket cap but mostly, prioritize buying more bitcoin as they can give us more profits more than any coin can give.

I feel this is just a correction, because almost a month the bitcoin price has never been below $30k so the potential for increase is much greater, when the footing is strong I believe bitcoin can penetrate new ATH again this year, hopefully this is a sign that altcoins will be bullish again.

Everyone is afraid of bear market but they do not realize that it is the real time that you should be happy. All those people who said "I wish I bought it when it was cheaper" during the bull run should realize that this is the time that it became cheap, you should not be looking at it like it is going down, you should be looking at it like it is getting cheaper, buy right now as much as you can afford (do not risk yourself and buy with money you can't afford to lose) and in few years you will be very happy about buying at these prices.

I am pretty sure that we will reach to 100k+ prices, that means there is still chance of 4x profit on bitcoin alone, and in other coins I can see 10x increases and even more in some of them. So right now, if it is bear market then it means it is time for everyone to buy, if it falls more then you can buy even more.

Bear market will never come soon mate and i will use all my power just to hinder this from happening lol



and besides look at the market now 

https://coinmarketcap.com/

having 1.5 trillion capitalization ? is this the sign of being bearish?

For sure having a target helps but I have a more like look and see thing,,, I have a very high price target that is so far away from achieving but since I do not mind holding super long term (I see it as savings) I do not mind. The other target could be in timeframe. Set a multiyear one and then check back when it is over and decide to liquidate or adjust:)

I also have a very strong feeling that this is not the beginning of the bear market, but a big correction, and the bull market will last even longer than 3 months.
Such a correction would be very healthy for the market and can say us that the new ATH will be very high.
Unfortunately, I'm still not sure, I think we have to wait a few more weeks to find out.

if this is a correction then there must be a increase because it has been a month when we sit on this area of price and none to come at high again( aside from the hype 40k recently)

how long this will happen then?

waiting for at least 75,000$ for the whole year is more than enough for me to step aside for a while from investing..

I think we never know...

I can't compare the market status now to the previous years because the situation is totally different. Though the market looks healthy and still high, we can't guarantee that a huge price correction won't come. If ever that bear season will come, I wasn't thinking that it dumps like 2018. And I feel we don't have to worry a lot but to remain calm and positive.

actually it is only our speculation to make our self panicking but the truth is the market is still strong and making good movement.
sometimes we are the one whos making our own ghost so if we wanted to stay away from that feeling we must learn how to be confident in our investments because remember that as long as you are holding your coin then you are not losing anything at all because if is just the value in fiat that falling but your coins remains as is.

If you believe that no bear market will come, that is wrong. Everything goes in circles no matter at what asset you look. For cryptocurrencies it may be a bit later than now, but it certainly will happen in the end. How rude it will be? Nobody knows but we all know what happened in 2018.

That's something correct but also scary at the same time. Two reasons people are not happy about it as of right now (some are happy like you but not all) one of them is the fact that there are people who already bought as much as they can so they can't really buy any cheaper, which means the price should stay as high as possible for them to profit, there were after a few people who bought at 64k, and from any price at 40k to 60k there were tons of people who bought, it is great that it is cheap now but if I can't buy right now then what good does it do?

Secondly we are talking about possible bigger fall, it is easy to hope for cheaper price when the price is high but when it is lower then you are afraid of the upcoming price, will it be 30k? 20k? or even 10k? Who knows how much it could fall? That is why they are afraid and not buying at the moment.

Lol the momentum is already bearish mate. What are you waiting for, to get the confirmation? The price of BTC to fall under $20k? I believe you should be prepared for a slow fall (I don't say that bullish trend won't be back) but people like Musk who used crypto for their personal benefits have spoiled this game with his foul play. It's better not to regret later after all, a penny saved is a penny earned and I think you should remember what did people lose during 2018.

My sentiments are neutral currently but if BTC goes below $30k again, I'll sell everything just because I don't want to lose the way I lost during the last market crash.

I think bear market already comes, especially this thread is already 20 days and no pump or maybe upcoming good prediction (from what i see and what my friends discuss about death cross although i don't really know what is it) maybe we really need to prepare if big dump really come. If me i already prepared to hold fiat and usdt in market which not support me to hold my fiat.

We go up and down multiple times recently, we should avoid futures and really accumulate spot as much as possible, i just expect that something big will come soon.

Bear market would be afraid of us, but many people see a sign that there will be some bull trap coming more by seeing the volatile of the market.
If happens, im sure it would wipe of many weak hands from the crypto space.

Its inevitable though we cant predict exactly when. The price of bitcoin and altcoins are slowly decreasing but its uncertain if we are heading to bear market since there's also minor recovery that's happening though its not consistent.

I think even bearish market occur its not going to be as low as before. The current situation is different because of the gain popularity and adoption of crypto. Thus we might never see a heavy plunged like what other investors speculating to happen.

just wait people will panic and will sell altcoins and bitcoins it will make the price go down the whales have planned a scenario to make the market go down and in the end, it will trap and novice traders will be frustrated because the price will go down so fast it's actually will give the opportunity for the whales to buy at the lowest price making the market look bad but I don't know how long the market will be played by the whales I will wait whether the market will get worse in the future or it will actually make the price of bitcoin even higher.

It's already happening now I think. A heck lot of selling pressure now on those defi coins, if you think it looks bad for BTC and ETH, it's 50% losses for many coins now. Not to mention the memecoin pressure going on now. Guess we might be seeing a mini crash/winter for them, and then people hide back in the "real"coins.

This time I have been observing that UNI has been in a bad streak, I do not know if the bulls are taking into account that the BTC market does not have a confirmation of its bullish trend, however in the long term it usually looks very good to go up and a lot:

In the short term it has not been seen that it recovers, although this coin has a lot of community, something must be happening that is preventing it, while DOT is beginning an alternative recovery, it is expected that the UNI bulls begin to surprise, but for now in the short term I see it more bearish.

In my opinion, the situation is quite similar to the one that took place in 2018. However, too many spectacularly positive developments have happened this year for cryptocurrencies for the bear market to be as cruel as it was in 2018. I think that prices will start to rise soon and we will start talking about the bear market again in next year.

We all also hope that the same thing for sure bullish can come soon,
but the question is whether it will come in the near future or in the long run,
I think there is no other choice but to keep abreast of market developments

As if we do have other choice to make?

No matter what situation we would face off on this market then we would really need to face it and make out appropriate actions depending on the market condition for us to take advantage and make out profits out of it.

Even though it wont really be a guaranteed thing at least we do already have the idea on what we would gonna do.This market do only compose
two trend which is bearish and bullish.

As an investor or trader then you would do all sorts of things for your benefit this is why you should really be smart.

I think the bear market is already here and the dump that is expected is happening again.

The market has been struggling for weeks or probably a month already, and this bad news is keeping investors away from investing their money.

The hype is over, china FUD and Elon's hate is here, so no interest in investing for now, with that, it will result in a temporary market collapse due to an overprice value of altcoins that happened during the bull run.

Prices are dumping these days so i think we are already in a bear season. Others may see this as a big correction but it seems this correction has lasts longer making most of the coins continue to decline their prices.

I hate to say this but this bear season has saddened most of the investor's hearts. This market keeps being uncertain leaving most of the coins still in a dump price which also made other people decide to fall into panic selling. But for me, i prefer to hodl because i still have high hopes that everything will be back to normal again. Bitcoin will eventually rise as well as those altcoins that are also following the path of bitcoin.

I think the market is currently experiencing a bear run, but I believe the bear run this year will not be as bad as 2018, because the market will recover quickly, so we don't need to be afraid with the current bear run and instead this is an opportunity for us to invest in cryptocurrency, because I believe we will get a big profit from investing in cryptocurrency at this time.

This time when the bear market comes, it is hoped that all investors and traders will be patient and don't panic, and remember the most important thing, never cut loss in a bearish market, because you won't get anything if you cut loss when the market is bad, we must be able to keep our mindset under any circumstances to stay calm for more profit when the market conditions have improved.

Some people can sense that when the price starts to drop sharply, he sells quickly to buy a few % cheaper. In my opinion, this is an interesting strategy for very experienced traders, because if someone makes a mistake and sell at the bottom, he can actually lose a lot on it.
It looks like the bull market is not over and prices in the cryptocurrency market are recovering. There is no need to panic only HODL. HODLers are always making money.

We aren't in a bear market right now and no one wants that to happen. I think we're not going to have a bear market anymore because there are some incredibly large investments. I expect a stagnant market again in July, but there may be huge positive movements in August  :)

Well, technically a month has passed since you created this thread and as you can see the bear market hasn't arrived yet, but we're not in the bull market either. The bear market could come anytime too, the signals are shown in advance on the chart, but few people can get the real situation. The bear market is a great opportunity for you to get your place in projects you believe in or even get a bigger position in the BTC.

There are huge investments from institutional investors and that is driving the market for a while and you need to understand that they are here in this market to make a profit and hence we cannot say that we wont be seeing a bear market anymore as there will be a time when these huge investors will be booking their profit as well and when that happens the market will go down. It is impossible to predict when that would be but you should expect that when you are investing.

But these guys have to make some tricks before entering the market with full capacity, so it is better to wait for the drop before entering the trending market. It is possible to predict the market movements but it is impossible to catch max and min price points before the new trend. The downtrend is near and we all will be able to buy cheaper Bitcoin sooner or later. The big red candle can be the sign of downtrend, after this event I plan to buy more altcoins with lower marketcap. Top altcoins performance is not enough to get bigger return on the investment.

Given the current situation, we are in right now... Yes, I believe we are still in a bear market. Everything is glowing red everywhere I set my eyes on. Well, I'm glad I kept my cool and didn't panic sell. I simply hodled and amassed a fair amount of my fave altcoins for my portfolio. My current holdings include ETH, ADA, LTC, BNB, XRP, and this hidden gem XSN. I strongly believe these coins will generate massive profits on the next bull run.

That is correct, a bear market is a bear market no matter how big or small the drop is. For example we are in a situation where we made a good profit in 2021 and then it crashed 50%, if you are not going to call 50%+ drop a bear market then what are you going to call it? Obviously it is a bear market, and yes it is not as harsh as 2018 that is true, in 2018 I have seen coins go down as much as 95% at some point, and bitcoin was down more than 80% and we still recovered, so there is really nothing wrong with calling it 2018 the biggest bear run I can remember.

However just because there were 80-90% drops in 2018 doesn't mean that the current 50%+ drop in the crypto market these days is not bear market neither, there are levels of it for sure but they are all still the same bear market. I hope that we can recover quicker from this as well, that would be great.

I agree with you, because from my experience in 2018 (when the market is correcting), then I bought cryptocurrency with all my money and sold it in March 2021, so I got a very big profit, then now the market is correcting again and I want to take this opportunity again to buy cryptocurrency, so when the market starts to grow again (the price increases very high), then of course I can get a big profit like this year.

You are one of the lucky people to be able to hold cryptocurrency from 2018 to 2021, very few people can hold that long. I'm sure you are
experienced in the crypto world, because the decisions you make indicate that you can do research and analysis well. So you can make a very
large profit from investing in cryptocurrency this year, I hope you can repeat your success. Because now is the right time to buy crypto,
and must be patient waiting for the price of the crypto that we buy to rise. But as long as we invest in the right coins, it should be able to
generate large profits.

Now the best thing is to hold, the market will rise again soon, see in december then we will smile because the value of our assets has increased up to 300%. Buy cheap coin is more profitable because it easy increase 10x even more.

When the bear market will come should not be our main interest cause bear market is certain in a trend and it is required of a trader or investor to prepare for this time not just looking after bullish moves only. The bearish is very important in the market cause those that bought at the dip of the market can be able to sell at the top when the Bearish move will start, and those that are planning to sell at the top can do that, to ride the Bearish move to it support where it will gain momentum to go bullish again following the market cycle.

The market to me has started the move but it's not that obvious to the general market untill price go below $30k before a lot of traders will notice that, the market had changed trend. Price is still ranging now going from $30k to $50k in a sided way manner. The market still have high possibility of breaking the $30k support before going back to $40k.

Currently global sentiment towards Bitcoin continues to depress cryptocurrency prices and will likely last longer than ever before, especially since the Chinese government has continuously banned its citizens and the global community from using and investing in bitcoin.
 I'm a little unsure if the bear market will end within 3 months and I think now the market may be going downhill again after some bans from several countries now, recently the Thai Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) , also issued a new regulation that prohibits the transactions of several digital currencies including those based on NFT.

I don't see it that way, the market grew, that's true but manipulation is still happening, with that said, you can't control manipulation as the whales will dictate the outcome of the market, if they want to dump it to create panic, they can do it, but one thing is certain, it will bounce back again and we will see a new ATH, it's only a question on when it will come.

Not stock exchanges but crypto exchanges, it's different from the usual and traditional stock exchanges that we know. Most stock exchanges doesn't support cryptocurrencies. But in a sense of understanding your point, you're right with what you've said.
It's only a matter of time again until we see the pump of bitcoin and on this day, it's normal to see it fluctuate from high to low and vice versa.

And bitcoin those time are really Manipulated with Whales that all wanted is to Bag money and not to trust this as real market with value.
But nowadays we knew that there are Big holders that knows how to value Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies .
Bear market? since when ? just because the price drops from 65k to 35k ? do you understand that early this year we have not even break the 20k value?

Bitcoin pumped high and most alts traders expect that afterwards the alt market will also experienced the same high,

But it didn't materialize those old alts experienced small pumped then now again fall, unable to reach the last time high, aside from ETH and BNB who really move along with Bitcoin also breaking new time high and give huge benefits to those who managed to bought when the market was really down last year.

BNB is really growing and I think it will grow, Binance is developing its coin perfectly

The last ath for me is unexpected because it happened too fast and consistently that some of us thought $100k value would be possible. However the bullish season didnt last long and now coins are in bloody.

We know bitcoin has an influence to altcoins and following its movement thus it is not surprising to see that most alts are also struggling because btc is not showing significant growth for the past weeks.

If this is already bearish then you're right still better situation compared to 2018 after the bullrun.

I don't think so. If it is bearish, there is no chance for crypto coins to increase again in the next few months. But right now, we can see that many people still believe that crypto coin prices to increase again in the next few months. We also must consider that Bitcoin price still tries to increase again, this is not the sign of a bearish market. If the Bitcoin price can break the resistance ($40k), the uptrend probably comes back again.

And with the coming Burning of coins ? indeed this will be the sign of continues progress as Binance is continuously burning coins that counts as millions already since the beginning of burning.
Ideally Binance  is one of the most promising exchange ever created , with their hands always there to help people and with them having multiple updates?
no wonder this will beat the top exchange in crypto world soone.
And also lets take advantage of the bear market once comes, we must purchase what amount we can afford to lose to help the maintaining and increasing .

but we should realize market still underpressure now , bearish still controll the market trend . Even previous high in daily chart could not break $35k yesterday and current price aroud $32k . We must accept the fact this trend will last for long time and we move only in small range.

I think we are currently only in a temporary bearish trend. The Chinese government's ban on crypto and everything related to it, and misunderstandings about unlocking GBTC were part of the cause of Bitcoin's decline.

the hottest issue now was GBTC unlocking which is around 16,240 bitcoin will unlocking in this 18th july. This is amount was very huge if all of them sold , and now market give negative respon by start selling their assets before its plummed deeper. This quarter will be very hard for cryptocurrency market, market sentiment still not going better yet but bad newsr regularly released.

right, right now we just need some big good news to be able to push the bitcoin price back on the bull track, but we should be able to take the opportunity that happened today to buy bitcoin at a cheap price and of course if later the bitcoin price will go up of course we will be able to get a little profit from what we have invested, even so I personally really believe that the bitcoin price will rise again even with a long time and I personally will remain patient and keep the asset until the bitcoin price goes up high again.

It will go back to the all time high that we've seen and more than that. I guess we're now having the bear market due to some reasons like everyone stops by when they see the market didn't do well.
And that's very the same as the others when they start to see the market drops too much, there won't be any discouragement anymore and that stops them from buying more.

There is a huge difference between 2018 and this year, but no doubt it will change soon or late, however it seems the bull run will not come so early as expected, it will take a bit long time. We can collect some projects which have really potential till the right day. That is right cryptocurrencies are more popular right now compared to other years. But that doesn't mean everybody just knows about the crypto world, l believe that there are still some people who have not heard anything about this world.

There is still more room for adoption. The market as well the number of project make each day or month keeps on coming. We're still on bear market but we can take this opportunity to study some coins buy and see how they perform. Now there are new projects who have some potential we need to risk a little while waiting for the market to recovers.

In crypto history bear market takes a longer period to hover . Assets are either going south or side ways. For accumulations, this is a slow but nice strategy to bag some . More or less it will take years so be patient . Crypto bull will be there but not as often.

There are a few predictions where the bearish ones are considered winners, although this market for now is in a bearish direction it is not the correct long-term trend unless it is a re-accumulation, therefore BCH has had a quite appropriate outcome. To the situation, for now it is very bearish, but BCH has a certain model that is about to explode in terms of market speculation:

The trend of BCH is being bearish, but if it reaches 330USD in this market it would be best to buy because it is likely that when BTC rises, this coin will have a great bullish turn, at least if we are based on the fact that it is best to buy cheap and sell high.

This is what bearish markets can generate, opportunities.

i don't get why people still say it is different from 2018
same pattern of btc topping and then eth topping ~1 month later
there are some minor differencies but overall the pattern of joining the bear market was more or less clear

You almost got it mate, I think we are about to enter the bear market almost 3 months before you posted the topic. There are so many speculation that the bitcoin will reach new ATH before year end I think this will not come true maybe we are now about to drop to 25k$ because bitcoin now touches 29k$ so bear market is now slowly taking place in crypto market.

Some people never anticipated this because on the time where bitcoin did really able to hit that 60k+ ATH then lots had been hyped up and believing that it could reach out $100k
in no time which this isnt the case that did happen but rather goes the opposite.

Actually i had already anticipated for this thing to happen because ive been here on this market for 6 years and i have seen lots of similar situations to this which
i did make myself numb when it comes to unexpected events on this market.

Bear market is inevitable and i do have a feeling that it is already starting.

I'd never see the pattern that could say we are the same as what happens last 2018. Just look into the price and we are totally different from the previous years and that could possibly be different from the pattern it showed.

We can certainly have these bear and bull seasons, and since we have done with the bullish season, it is time for us to prepare for another year in bearish. I believe this was not a big surprise to all of us but I don't think if the majority is also prepared for this coz I could see that mostly our mindset is focusing on the next ATH, in fact, some say it happens before the end of the year.

It caused by the valuation was totally different. People are seeing these days bitcoin much more stronger than before and that's why they were still believing if bitcoin could reverse the trend back to the bullish trend again.
When people can see the old pattern and they will get a clue about what's happening right now.
The only problem if some people may not believe with it. They are still thinking that if the chart was different.

Its already 2 months and the market keep drowning, people said its accumulating phase, but too much fear for me at the moment.
My portfolio are really bad to seen, i didnt have any plan to averaging down my portfolio since have no much money to entry, the only option is only hold and stake it  :-[

Not keep drowning. It's a correction since the market reached the high that we've never expected. And you know what, the market is still up if we compare it to the last years that we've been especially the bearish market.
If it's about all time-high, it's up from the last 2017 before it goes to the bear market of 2018.

if that is your belief meaning we are in bear market now? bitcoin and Ethereum had drop the price more than half ?

We have different looks on How bear market will be consider.

And for me? that is when the price before the Bull comes goes back  meaning the price in September 2020 will be the indication that we entered Bear market.

People are forgetting that it's just a year that we've been down and then the bull run comes and it had a correction. But after the correction, we're still seeing some good prices and they don't appreciate what has happened. As for the investors who took profit, they don't have anything to worry and has been enjoying the run and there's now a budget if there's another correction to come.

Agree patience is the key, when we put money on crypto especially if we put our money in top coins then we should be patience enough to wait for our investment to rise. 2018 is the best lesson for me to not sell very fast in crypto market.
