Like the title says, when do you see the true bear market that we saw that happened in 2018 with every alt crashing insane amount?

For me, Bitcoin dumped or lost 50% from its all-time high and it will take months and years.
As you can see, after the dump of all-time-high around $19,000 last month of 2017, it takes more than 2 years to reach again that all-time-high.

So for this new all-time-high, as you can see we already have new all-time-high around $64,000 last April 2021 and dumped around 50% in just less than a month. But look what happened, bounced back around $50,000 and that's around 20% from an all-time-high, so for me, we are still far from the 2018 crash.
 

According to predictions, there will be a bear market in winter. The main indicator for me is certainly Bitcoin as all coins follow its global trends. When Bitcoin is decreasing, people think that it will be a new protracted bear market, so they get rid of risky altcoin first, that is why they fall even more than Bitcoin. So just follow Bitcoin and you will know if it is still a bullish market or not.

Wait for Bitcoin to be dumped and I am sure it will be a landslide.
When will it happen? No one knows. It could be tomorrow or next year or possibly not.

Why do you want that to happen? Is there a big reason why you want the altcoin industry to crash? Ain't it good for the companies who own it if the value of their tokens will keep on rising? I only rely on Bitcoin's price and if it's in bear, just a small amount of altcoins will survive it.

The bear market that I have seen and is also very sadistic was in 2018, after which it ceased to exist even though there was a correction of almost half of the peak price, but it was not so pronounced and had a big effect because the duration was not so long.

From the experience of past years, I will not wait for the start of the bear market and will start selling altcoins in early October. I will not catch the high of the market, but I will not sell at the low of the market. The start of a bear market will come very quickly and suddenly for most investors.

The market mostly depends on Bitcoin so when BTC drops hards and shows no sign of recovery that is the time we should treat it as a bear market and we should know when Btc continuously dropping all other altcoins are also following. At present, I don't want to think about such a crash again I already witness the previous one but now I am expecting more bull in the coming months.

no one knows about it, because nowadays most people think that the dump after ATH achieved this year is the same thing as the dump that occurred after ATH in the previous year. it has a very reasonable reason why we don't have a crash as bad as 2018, it's because at this time the commodity from bitcoin is much stronger than before, therefore a high bounce occurred after the dump.

other than that, currently positive vibes among crypto users are speculation and predictions that a new ATH price will be achieved by the end of this year. Yes, I also agree with that opinion. So, because of that, I think that for now, there are no signs of a crash like 2018 will happen, in fact, at this time the pump potential is getting higher, even for 2022.

Yes that is the wise choise and going safe is the much better option that waiting for it to crash and then sell at low price . Its much better if you feel that bear market in approaching better start selling your coins now slowly.

The bear market that occurred in 2018 was one of the worst moment for the crypto market, at that time the price of Bitcoin fell at its lowest point, and followed by Altcoin which also experienced a severe decline at that time. But after that Bitcoin slowly started to bounce back so that it was able to reach a new ATH in early 2021.
If you ask when a bear market will occur.? The answer is no one is able to answer your question correctly, because to this day no one knows when a bear market will occur. Usually a decline in prices in the crypto market is caused by several events, the occurrence of the world economic crisis, the Covid outbreak, the prohibition of cryptocurrencies in various countries, and there are several other events.

I don't think we'll see the same bear again. But we might not have noticed it but what has happened for bitcoin that has dropped almost half just a few months ago, that can be considered as the bear market, the quickest bear market as possible.
Having the same amount of crash? it cannot be measured, it just can't.

If you missed the bear market of 2018, then you may have to wait for a very long time to get such an opportunity again to buy the deep, Bitcoin and the entire crypto market is more advanced now for such a huge crash to occur again to an entire market but you may witness similar crashed in a single token/coin market but not whole crypto crash such as it was in 2018.

There is no need to compare the current situation with 2018, because a lot has changed.
Of course, I believe that the cryptocurrency market is manipulated.
But I think that if there is a fall in prices, then prices will rise to higher values.
I think the bullish cycle is not over yet.

The right question is will history repeats itself? I've watched many videos on YouTube where crypto experts are saying that bear market will last for another two years before next BTC halving just like 2017 but my own doubt is adoption rate, it's clear that present adoption rate isn't like the past years in crypto space so why are we all expecting future crypto market to work in same ways as the past?

I don't see any bear market coming in the short term hopefully. We were already out of a bear market some time ago after the market started to go high at a fast pace. That was the signal that the bear market ended I think. Now our main focus is the bull market. We should be able to see the next bull market in this year to hope for high prices in the market. And after this bull market ends in the next year, the bear market would greet us.

Nobody wants a bear market unless you plan to buy some coins and hold on to them until you make a profit. It's true what you said, if the market is bearish only a few altcoins are able to survive following what percentage of Bitcoin falls. what is clear is that it is an altcoin that has been quite a strong commodity so far in the market.

Okay, let's put into the presumption about the true bear market but that only happens when Bitcoin will fall back at $20k (just for me).

But, I'm not sure if that moment will come as we are getting into more adoption and people had learned already to hold than getting into panicking which could create such a huge market crash drama. I know everyone is aware of the current situation, though we saw some correction, however, even we see more on the uprising trend and even altcoins are still on the rally. Honestly, I'm not seeing this last 2018 OP.

I want to buy more alts but at cheaper prices.

Bitcoin would become the best indicator and i remember that so many FUD happened at that time when bitcoin gets dumped so hard. The news that related to the banning by the various countries were triggering the market to go to the bottom level a few years ago. The time has changed and crypto was doing better from day to the another day. I guess there will be no true bearish trend again like what happened a few years ago,
Bitcoin may trigger another dump to the altcoins but it would not so big as 2018 bearish trend. So many institutional investors are starting to take a look at  crypto.
That means crypto has more backers compared a few years ago when there were only regulators created so many FUD to the crypto and this was making a lot of crypto holders felt fear about the dump.
This time there's no a strong indicator that will determine whether that's true bear market or not. The price of crypto can bump anytime. The time will tell.

The worst moment was in 2018 it was the bear market that had the most significant impact on the unhealthy crypto market, judging by the current momentum, there are still no signs of a bear market, maybe only a few corrections that keep repeating every week, maybe the market is now running sideways so just pray and analyze the market to avoid the impact of a bear market. no one knows

Maybe we're already past it, and it all happened during June and July 2021 this time. There's no necessity in Bitcoin losing 80% of its value, and a 50% loss is pretty significant for the bear market. It seems that Bitcoin has largely recovered from the issues of the past, and now there's no way of knowing it's it goes up or down from here. I think that a significant bear market can still be ahead of us, but only is something huge happens and triggers it. Otherwise, I don't think it's happening anytime soon because Bitcoin seems to have stronger support now than in did in 2018.

The market did not identify any meaningful bear market indications but only some corrections under normal conditions, we can't confirm the future direction of the market but after the next correction it is expected that the uptrend of the market will increase by the end of the year. However, we can only conclude the market conditions after analyzing the next market movement.

I don't care about the bear or bull market. If you check the cryptoworld for a long period of time, it has been always bull market. You should settle in for a long term investment. Choose a project with real utility where your money is safe. One very good project I'd like to recommend is XSN - Stakenet's native currency.

The global bull market will run through 2021 with only small pullbacks, Ned Davis Research predicts. Traders on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange. Global equities will rally through the remainder of 2021, as the economic recovery strengthens, according to Ned Davis Research.
How long is the bear market expected to last?
The average length of a bear market is 289 days, or about 9.6 months. That's significantly shorter than the average length of a bull market, which is 973 days or 2.7 years. Every 3.6 years: That's the long-term average frequency between bear markets.

Many projects didn't able to survive after that bear season. At that time ICO project is losing investors as most of the market is affected. Those who are managed to buy back at that time definitely eaens a lot at these time. We don't know when bear or when bull will happen but know if there is oppotunity to buy back or to sell in profit alwaysdo it and take some amount to enjoy yourself.

A lot of mainstream interest in crypto is still continuing to build. In almost all the previous bullruns, the new millionaires that were minted were either BTC or ETH Hodlers. This time it is a much more diversified group that includes artists and amateur traders. It'd be safe to assume that a lot of them have solidified their gains in the form of BTC or cash. Yet, with the way SEC been acting, a bear market seems inevitable.

It'll only take a few stern announcements from the SEC to bring the prices crashing for a lot of memecoins, NFTs, algorithmic stablecoins etc etc. In the Alt-coin segment, ETH and BNB will possibly not fall beyond 50%. The rest will meet the fate that Alt-coins inevitably do. That being said, there is a possibility that those that will survive this bear run will become settled and accepted players in the crypto-economy.

It is hard to predict when SEC will come out with regulations. Of course the insiders will know and dump it all on retail just a few hours before whenever SEC decides to invalidate some of the businesses around crypto.

More prediction about the crypto market is strong but we can see a bear market before the end of 2021 and will be recovered in 2022, so before starting bear market, we should secure our funds in USDT or any other stable coin otherwise will suffer a huge loss if the bear market will start.

When to see that coming?
Well, I think everyone never knows and I don't think it was very important to know that. In fact, we all might see that the market keeps on the bullish side. I was thinking for the bearish season after hitting the peak this year but the market remains positive and the market never shows such huge pullbacks instead of stabilizing it at $30k after hitting a 50% drop. I thought that was the start of the doom but the market is able to recover it slowly until today.

To ask that when? We only have a slim chance to see it again. And probably not this year anymore.

Keep an eye on Bitcoin as all other altcoins follow it and the market will likely get bearish by December 2021. Focus on stablecoins to safeguard your money, a good alternative to circle is ARYZE "Digital Cash", it is meant to be a full-reserve stablecoin.

some bad news began to be published. if this becomes a negative sentiment on the market, of course, it will happen. but bitcoin still looks strong for now. but its position does make us a little worried about the possible gradual correction.
it will be a dilemma for investors and day traders to enter and hold or have to exit the market.

The Financial System is a corpse with makeup on at the moment and something very big is cooking before the end of this year. The fact that more and more institutional investments are falling into Bitcoin, makes me think the bear market for crypto will manifest differently than previous bear markets, we might even have difficulty identifying it. But one thing is for sure, when its too obvious, people better safeguard their crypto funds with a reliable stablecoin.

I am also thinking about the situation when that fateful day would be but i am expecting that the main rally would die down when the market would touch the all time high valuation in the next few months and by early next year by 2022 we can expect the market to go down and even then i have no idea how big the correction would be because the institutional investors are also involved in the market and when they would dump the coins is still a mystery.

According to your prediction the bear market will come before the end of 2021 and will be recovered in 2022. If the bear market recovers in 2022, we will not be so worried about converting our funds to USDT or other stablecoin.
However, I think the bear market will not recover so soon if once it started. We have to wait at least 2 years.

On hindsight, and in accordance with experience garnered over the years; I will tell you that next year (2022 ) will be a bear year. Experience has taught me that two years after the post-Bitcoin halving year (that's a year after Bitcoin halving takes place) is always a bearish year. Now back to the OP, I'm going to pick the end of the first quarter of the year – 2022 as when the bears will be unleashed. History has always found a way of replicating itself and I don't see it changing here. At least, not anythime soon.

Not really sure about it, but when bitcoin price already on peak and then stable for a  long time, usually it is sign of bear market for me. Or when dumped a lot in a short time, usually take longer time to recover but it is all depends on how much support in it, or maybe just ask my friend who like to analyze bitcoin price.

I hope it won't come like 2018.
When the Bitcoin price dropped from May 2021, the current price hit $29k after Elon Musk tweeted that he no longer accepts BTC for Tesla car payments, but 2 months after that, the price slowly rose and to date the BTC price has risen to $50k, if you look at Ath BTC in early 2021 and compare the price with today, the market situation is bearish. I have seen that 2021 is not the same as 2018 because the price of Bitcoin is rising rapidly and this proves that users and many investors are starting to understand how they store BTC to use as a wealth asset and other things like payments.

Well a shorter drop will not consider as a bear market, but for me --when the market price drops 50% in the previous ATH will consider a bear market. How much the previous ATH at that was in 2017 last quarter to 2018 first quarter. But I think we never experience that bear market again, we have now a true adoption and there are some countries that started adopting bitcoin and I think that would be a good sign that the bull market is on the way. But for now, don't think negatively towards bitcoin, it will pump and pump the price until it will create again a new ATH.

Have you got a link for this bear market prediction for people to read upon?

Yes, usually BTC sets the precedence for alts market. So whenever alts start pumping like mad on a daily basis and BCT is struggling then I'd say that's a sign of bears. Either way, you have to look at the market to make these judgements.

i don't think you can really get a reliable one for this bear market prediction. they are just speculating and basing the charts, maybe from previous years. and the big difference is, we have different scenario in the market now. so i don't think it will be valid to apply in the current market. the factors also change. as for me, up until now, no one can still give a precise prediction on what may happen to the market. but i do agree, BTC is still heading the pack. most alts are following its performance in the market. but don't get too complacent as it still depends on the specific coin itself.

To begin with, no one can tell you that correctly or even predict it accurately. Let me go by this, few months ago when there was fud on Bitcoin and so on, it caused the market to dump badly and many started with their predictions of how what Bitcoin price will be, how bad it will get and many others, to make it worst, many fuds and manipulation took place then, thus having a lot of people to think that another longer bear market will set in , but after some weeks we saw Bitcoin proving all of them wrong. Therefore, it means that, a lot of people only states what they think will happen and it's left for the market to react the way it want to, because it is run by humans.
Lastly, a lot of people are beginning to believe that, in as much as there will be bear market or market dump, it won't get to the level of 2018 bear market owing to the fact that a lot of platforms, organisations and countries are getting into crypto thus making it more stronger then before.

With an increase in the current price position to become a bear market like 2018 it looks like it will be difficult.  because the conditions are different it means the crypto market has to drop 80%.  but in my opinion, the crypto market will always have a bear market but it may be different from 2018

When Bitcoin goes below $40k, that’s a signal for me that we are already in bear market but there’s nothing to panic about since I assume we’ve learn a lot from 2018 and we all know that the market will always recover so buying during bear market is always a good idea. Let’s see if bear market will still happen this year.

in my opinion, a bear run is happening right now, because the price of Bitcoin and altcoin has fallen very far from its ATH price, it's just that the current bear run is not as bad as in 2018, because I believe that market conditions this year will recover quickly and the price will increase again very soon, then now is the right time for you to invest in cryptocurrency before the market starts to recover and increase again, so you can get a big profit from investing in cryptocurrency at this time.

I think we could actually say that the price corrections on the crypto tokens happening this month can be called as true bear market. I do heard that bear market somehow comes within the month of August but today it is effectively happening in the crypto market and wide red candle dominates the crypto market. I don't think so how long we all gonna deal with the bear market but I'm just hoping it would effectively recover the soonest since we are now going to approach the Q4 of the year.

No analyst can accurately predict any upcoming bullish or bearish market, there are cases where fundamentals and Technical analysis do help in determine any imminent drop negatively, recently Elon Musk made a negative remarks about Bitcoin consequently resulted to massive dumping of the price thus a yardstick in determining whether there is going to be a price drop is to kept abreast with latest Bitcoin news both positive and negative, there are instances when Technical indicators do predict but those indicators lags thus the drop would have down ahead before the indicators triggers it signal.

yeah, it is not advisable to compare the present market with previous, so for most investors, the start of a bear market will come fast and unexpectedly.

Naturally, I feel the bitcoin market is rigged. However, I believe that if prices decrease, prices would rise to higher levels again and investors have to    decide and take the opportunity. Good Luck

Hello newbie, are you familiar enough with stablecoins in the cryptocurrency space and what are the stablecoins that are often used by everyone in cryptocurrencies so far? if you just woke up from your sleep, please don't spread your fomo and nightmares here by predicting the market will be bearish at the end of this year.

Institutions are in now, they are ready to pump it to normies. We will see mainstream adoption this time.

There are a lot of traders on the market who hold short positions and, accordingly, are waiting for a further decline in bitcoin and other altcoins. Therefore, it is wrong to say that no one wants a bear market. In addition, there are a lot of traders who have sold their cryptocurrency at high and are now waiting for the moment when they can buy it at a low price.

I predict that Bitcoin will reach another 20% gain after its decline this year. Imagine that in September Bitcoin could reach a price of $52K after a price decline from $63K to $50K. To me it's amazing what's happened to Bitcoin in this year.

Now the cryptocurrency is actively used in the entertainment and gaming industry. Here is an example of this https://cinemadraft.medium.com, so the number of cryptocurrency users will continue to grow.

However we need to follow the development of Bitcoin itself,
I don't really expect Bitcoin to hit $52k this September,
what's clear is better to just follow the progress and hopefully what you expect can happen

Yeap, Comparing to 2017, Current bullish it's really big since there was lot of instituions are in same as you said, Beside that some big company like Tesla or Nexon it's also joining the the wave by buying and holding some BTC, On the other side facebook was reviving "Libra" With "Diem" and beside that lot of good things happenings lately on the market so i suppose we are closer to see the mainstream adoption.

When you check it on how much it increased, the price was around 700 dollars when it first started in 2017 and it was 20k at the peak time, that is nearly 30x increase total. We didn't had anything remotely close to 30x this year, even at the bottom it was 4k and at the top it was 64k which is 16x and that is from bottom on march, if we check the start at 9k then we moved like 7x at the very best case. Which is why this increase is nothing compared to the increase and profit we made during 2017.

However if you look at the amounts, we have reached 64k which is 3x more than what our previous ATH of 20k was, and it required billions upon billions to reach there. We had plenty of coins reach their ATH as well, so the general market had 2x at the very least when you look at combined marketcap of all things in CMC. So this is why it was better or worse depending on where you look at.

It is good that the DeFi industry is developing and DeFi is already being used in the entertainment industry, in movies and in games. I think the scope of application of DeFi will expand in the future.

If the bitcoin price dump so hard then definitely the market will starting to crash like in the year 2018. Now the market is down I don't think the market will go dump, I think it's not about to happen in this year so I hope we will see the pump of cryptocurrencies before end of this year.

Bear market is something that I've been waiting! It's a nice period to accumulate, and then sell it when the new ATH comes. I think this moment onward, we will see the price continue to decline to give the opportunity to buy low! You guys should be happy when the bear market is coming, it means fill your bag and wait for the next pump. For those who already sell at the ATH, they will wait for this opportunity. Don't miss it!

Developments still have to be followed, because if we don't follow developments then we don't know how Bitcoin is going. For this year, I am proud of the development of Bitcoin, even though the world economy is in a slightly different condition due to the pandemic, but Bitcoin can reach a price above $ 60K and in September it can also reach a price of $ 52K. That's amazing for me.
It's too arrogant in my opinion if you don't really expect Bitcoin to rise in price this September when everyone is hoping for Bitcoin to rise soon. Because if Bitcoin rises, other coins will rise too.

bear market for smart investors that hold alot resources will be best moment to accumulate their crypto assets. buying any top coins that dumped by paper hand will give them maximum benefits from its price movement in future. they have alot experience to face any kind of bear market and didnt panic at all just like beginer traders.

bitcoin price will very volatile in this year since hit the last all time high, alot finance company or any public company lately realize its worth to save as their assets. alot of them spreadfud even need help from regulator or media to shake the market. just let it down and we will see more powerfull bounce.

The "true" bear market is over, I believe. I do not see any reason why we would crash like we did in the past. Bitcoin/Crypto is gaining more and more adoption. With a higher market cap, we will probably see less dramatic swings. I doubt we will ever see sell-offs like during the crypto winter of 2018. Of course we will see ups and downs and some might seem scary, but I think we should avoid low market caps unless you're feeling really lucky....

According to what I predict for sure it will happen again like a few years ago so that people were surprised when the price rose to exceed the prediction limit, this seems to happen every 5 years, what is certain is that the bear market takes time until people lose their patience to wait, which however it must happen again even reach 2 or 3 billion rupiah per piece of BTC

I think a bear market will occur if Bitcoin experiences a continuous decline, because generally Altcoins will follow the Bitcoin price as experienced in 2018. It is very difficult to predict when a bear market will occur. but no need to wait for it to happen, Selling potentially high risk altcoins is a better move than the dilemma when a bear market occurs which drags on for a long time. The bear market is also a momentum for investors to collect all the Altcoins and hold for the long term.

The Bear Market is not something to wait for because it will definitely come by itself even if only with a very small cause through news and other speculation, so what needs to be waited and paid attention to is the bull market which sometimes does not last in the long term and makes everyone must always let go of the coins that he already holds and already has the advantage as well.

Over the past four years, the cryptocurrency market has become more mature and has received many new interesting features (NTF, DeFi, etc.) Even if a bearish trend comes, I do not think it will last too long (as in 2018). We can see that the periods of correction are getting shorter.

Yes. We can see if the bear market is coming once the value of bitcoin keeps on declining and only then, the whole crypto market will collide. But there is no way we can predict when it will happen so we all have to do is monitor the coins' value in the market particularly bitcoin.  But i don't think we have to worry when that time comes because it will even offer us a good opportunity to buy. Newbies will be much affected with this seeing their investments crashing but for the long term investors here, it will serve as an opportunity.

The "true" bear market should be able to come after seeing the next bull market first. We have already got out of the last bear market I think. The market was in a poor condition some time ago and started recovering really quickly. These days don't seem very different too but I don't believe that we are in the bear market again now. This must be only a price correction, nothing more.

We already enjoy the bull market, and yet we have not seen the bear market yet, so probably this is already the bear market or probably just to test so the weak hands will panic. It's hard to tell actually, just be smart especially if you are a short term investor, don't panic but look for timing all the time.

Unpredictable.
That is what I know about bear market and when it will happen. It almost happened months ago though when it went down to as below as $30,000. Many expected that time including me that a bear market is happening and we might see it going near the $20,000 but it seems like it didn't happen and the bulls still has control of the market :).

I don't know personally when the 2018 bear market will happen but if it will happen, I think that it will not be the same as that time since many has changed already. The market cap is now higher compare to that year and the number of people involved into crypto are now higher so lesser manipulation but still there is :D.

DeFi is now used not only in games but also in cinema. This greatly expands the capabilities of DeFi. Imagine how many people love cinema.

When Market flat we see BTC fast dump then alter all token and coin dump so the bear market is very harmful to small and big investor and trader.In my opinion when we will see consciously negative news coming then we will see the market must down.

I've seen bear markets for a long time, when the biggest bull markets have occurred starting at the beginning of the year and peaking at the end of the year.
then it will be normal to go up and down for several years and wait for the moment to rise again for the next bull usually happens every 4 years.

based on market cycle its right every 4 or 5 years bitcoin price rose extremely, and current condition on bitcoin price was bearish on middle time frame so in this year i still possibilities to rise above previous ATH. market will make investors or traders felt unbelieve to bitcoin anymore before its explode to accumulation phase.

so far there is no need to worry about crypto currency price although so many fud coming to market. the thing we need only patience and strong mental to get huge success.

I think this time things will be a little different from how everyone know it to be, at least am hoping the bear market won't be as severe as the past years, right now the market is currently experiencing a dip, will it continue downward where it can be established as a full bear market, nobody knows, imo, I don't see btc experiencing such bear market as previous years.

Hopefully not this year. The price dump of the last few days is totally explainable to me because of all that stuff that is going on in china with that real estate company evergrande. Today evergrande sent some calming news which means that they probably wont go bankrupt but we still have to wait and see how this turns out. If BTC manages to stay above 40k $ (i know that yesterday it already was below 40k for a short period of time) though then i am pretty optimistic that the correction is over pretty soon and we will see increasing prices again maybe not heavily increasing but at least no more falling prices, at least that is what i hope.

if BTC drops below $35k I believe we are really in a position to prepare for a very deep bear. especially for altcoin assets.
It's been a few days since we were in a scary correction to enter into trading and investing. because the chance for the correction to continue is still very large. but if bitcoin strengthens again, I'm sure the market won't be in the worst correction we can imagine. Current market conditions are completely different.

Hopefully the cryptocurrency market has found its balance of short-term ups and downs. Now he is in a stage of uncertainty. At the same time, according to some analysts, Bitcoin still has a good chance of surpassing its ATH by the end of 2021. But even if this does not happen and in the coming months Bitcoin will be in the corridor of $32k-$50k, this leaves us a good opportunity to catch trends and earn money.

If we look at the historical charts, we can see that the bear market begins after the altcoin season. Some believe that the altcoin season has already started, but this is a false statement, because we have not seen a simultaneous increase in the price of altcoins against the dollar and bitcoin. And without this, the start of the altcoin season is impossible.

if there is a decline to penetrate the nearest support and there is a false increase which is followed by a decline again until it breaks through the next support. I think the waves will work that way, so what we can do is either trade short term to take advantage of the price bounce and make a little profit, or we hold on until the bullrun happens again

The bear market is always awaited by everyone, but this year's bear market can be said to have been running but not yet maximized where there is often a sudden decline due to negative news, hopefully October is the peak month of the bear market we are waiting for

Perhaps, soon we will see another down of the price, but hopefully, the down will not be too deep and still be around at $40k. If that price breaks, the price could go lower without we can predict how it will be. The market can crash because more people will panic to see their investment value reduce a lot. But hopefully, they can still hold their investment and only rebuy for more to accumulate the amount of the coin they have.

No one can really tell when will this true bear market is coming. We had experienced the bear season in the previous months but it didn't take so long, that is why some have thought that its just a price correction. But why are we waiting for it anyways? We should look forward for the bull run instead because that will paid off all of our long patience of waiting and hardworks. The whole crypto community will definitely become very profitable when that time comes.

that's what we called for safety, lol  and yes i totally agree with that technique but of course it's alway good to keep updated to the news so that we are ready to sell off in the right time, because its quite skeptical if we will gonna wait for more results but we are not updated to  the news, i mean we're just basing to the movement of the market and it seems not safe in my personal opinion , because you know guys, market always dive so dip in just an hours wherein without any sign especially the bearish is already started., so much better to  read some news when it really gonna happen to save our profits early as soon as possible from the masive correction..

I think the bearish market is already in effect, just compare how the market behaves nowadays compared to the early months of 2021, it has a big difference already and it was slowly affecting the price of most cryptocurrencies in the market. IMO, I believe the bearish market nowadays is not the same as it was in 2018 because the Market Capitalization today is a lot bigger compared before. 

The next market decline will probably be at $38k because at the moment the market is not showing a real recovery but rather a decline below $40k, after a long market correction the market will show a real rise at the end of this year or Q1 next year so you don't need to panic if currently in the patience to hold the asset in the long term.

This affects the psyche of market watchers and fear of big losses, it's hard to keep your hopes up on people who spend a lot of money there they feel the need for adjustments.

There is no need to pay attention to other people about this, because every loss and gain is a result that must be accepted by everyone after the process, so you just need to take care of yourself so you don't lose like them.

it is not possible to predict when the market will repeat itself like 2018. because seeing the market in 2021 it is stronger than 2021. I want to ask what is your goal in waiting for a bear market? do you want to buy at low price? if you want to buy at a low price, you can take advantage of the little bear's time to add a little to your collection in your bag

I also saw the craziest bear market in 2018. If everyone thinks the market is now the worst bear market. I'm sure that's wrong, because the worst market we've ever faced was in 2018. Even some people think it is the end of cryptocurrency. But it's just FUD.

why ask that?? do you expect a bear market to come??
Honestly, I'm sure I won't see a bear market again like in 2018 considering that bitcoin is already strong and has been adopted by several countries, making it legal as a transaction tool. there is no reason for bitcoin to experience the same bear market.

The areas of application of DeFi are growing more and more, which means that more and more people will be interested in them and the popularity of DeFi will continue to grow.

2018 was the toughest year for the crypto market, there was a massive dump and it lasted for quite a long time, even BTC experienced a decline of almost half its price, in contrast to today there was some decline but what made the difference was the duration of the decline and recovery in the crypto market.

If that happens, then be ready for the panic selling from people ;D

I don't think that people can handle their emotions because their altcoins will get the effect from the bitcoin price. Perhaps, they can hold their coins, but not for the other because many new people don't ready with the correction that can come anytime.

Not just the market watchers, but the traders and some investors will also get the effect because they think that their investment value will drop significantly if the bitcoin price jumps to the lower price.

DeFi including were among the boomers of crypto and also the influencers. Correction doesn't have anything to do with bear market, it happens in every market, the problem of bear market arises only when there is sell pressure and low demand that's when you see bear market which is mostly as result of Fud from speculators.

a while ago, the price of bitcoin dropped in the $40k range, and no one noticed. it came like an undetected storm. however, we will get negative news once the price drops. So, no one knows when the real bear market will arrive, so just be prepared for that.
If anyone can predict when a bull market, or a bear market will arrive correctly, I think he will beat Elon Musk's current fortune.  just prepare yourself.

In the past few years I only saw a bear market happening in 2018 all the altcoin movements were really crazy, as we all know a bear market will happen when bitcoin is dumped 50% when it happens so far there is no sign of a bear market happening again though there has been a big correction in bitcoin and it didn't last long.

Honestly speaking, current market is so much valued that it doesnt matter if the market is crashing or not. I mean the the effect is smaller if you are here since long time. If you have seen the alts and bitcoin from the base values of cents and if you are seeing or trading them with multi dollar values then you know for sure they are already carrying great value per unit and the bear market is just another dip and nothing much.

This you will understand correctly if you imagine the market from the start and see how it reacts today.

Mostly those are just corrections and small dips followed by the bitcoin. The market is in nice position. Still to answer your bit of question, I would say bear market comes when there is crash in fiat as well as some billionaires are dumping their coins. No real way to understand this coming.

I thought it would be this September based on data and analysis but I think it would beat it after several experiences we've had in the past few weeks. So next year it is

It should be the recent correction that we have seen and that's supposed to be the expected bear by those analysis that everyone has made. Well, I've read it somewhere that every September, a bear like this should come. But we're about to see this month end and we've got some sort of big correction.
But, it's eventually recovering.

I think that the true bear market is coming very but its not likely to happen this year knowing that we still haven't seen the true altcoin season yet. And I believe that this last quarter of the year will be the last push for the altcoins then bear cycle will takes place.

September this year is more bearish than pump or bullrun,
because from the beginning of this month until it was almost over there were still more declines than the maximum increase in each coin price.

I guess the true bear market cycle will happen next year because I still do believed that alt season comes first before the bloody market takes place.

I hope too on September have new way for bearish and all altcoin back on the top price and need to make new all time high again, almost on October every day see dip and lower price from bitcoin and altcoin, now dump again with altcoin almost under $40,000 and have possibility will bitcoin down or can back to higher price at the end week of October.

if that's possible. I should be sure BTC will be more stable for this year. now we see alternate down and up trends coming. a good moment for short trades to make a profit.
but the market situation as it is today, to be honest, makes it a little difficult to enter the market or have to leave. hold or sell. this makes planning very difficult.

Well like you said we're yet to see the end of September.. But I strong believe it would beat it, I mean considering all these China news here and there this month alone, btc keeps to its stance.

That's what it looks like now, but will it last long in the crypto space? I think a lot of people can't be sure how long this will be and be popular in cryptocurrency, because of some experiences that have happened in the crypto space where ICOs and IEOs have started to fade in the crypto space after becoming popular in the past.

My judgment of the bear market is as follows: 1. the global new crown epidemic situation has been effectively controlled. 2. The Federal Reserve stops quantitative easing; 3. Large institutions stop buying.

At present, the above events have not occurred.

The news circulating about China is not necessarily all true, because there are also news makers who intentionally write it so that everyone panics and releases their assets into the market so that chaos occurs in the cryptocurrency market, so you also have to be wise in seeing and understanding everything cryptocurrency news.

Of course its advisable for everyone to verify news source before making any move on his/her portfolio. Either it being true or false, try not to panic as bitcoin has already gain its ground here on earth.

Concluding a bear market requires a confirmation of a market crash. Bitcoin needs to fall below $30k. At that time it is best to wait for the market to recover slightly and sell all the altcoins you have to wait for the opportunity to buy back at a lower price.
I think the bear market is not over yet as Bitcoin is still in the indecision zone and above the $30k-$37k, $40k-$42k support zones.

Now the moment of market bear and many altcoin still dump, what will you do when you have chance to buy altcoin with lower price? still waiting next lower price or panic when altcoin have higher price and late for buy back. Better entry on altcoin right now before price up and never waiting new dump moment maybe now bitcoin time for raising up.

However, some people now still immediately believe in whatever is written through the news, even though some of the news makers just need more visitors so that their website can progress and experience an increase in rating, so in the future don't get stuck with news before tracing the source.

Anyone who thinks that this is not the bear market and there will be a "true" bear market that would be a lot worse, they are kidding themselves. This is the market and this is a big bear market, we do not have any type of situation that we should be scared about.

We should not be expecting anything worse, just focus on the upcoming bull market because 40k+ is where we are standing and there needs to be something unexpected in order to see the price change at all, it should not be going anything under 40k if we do not have any problems. So, right now we are already 40k+ and we should be focusing on 50k+ instead, it will definitely happen and we just need time for it, even 100k will happen as long as we can wait long enough.

it's true you said the right thing, without paying attention to them and taking care of yourself will the value of BTC skyrocket again so as not to lose like them?
Market observers and traders really influence the value of the btc, you remember Elon Musk, he only observes the market but Dian's comments or tweets affect the market price, there we lose and profit.

it must be vigilant, this is so if you are not careful to buy and sell, you have to wait a long time or you experience big losses.

The true bear market will happen once all the coins in the market are dumping and we can see the whole crypto market is busy with panic selling and buying. That is mostly the scenario of a true bear market. But honestly, there is no way we can tell when will it happen because the market is very unpredictable. But why are looking forward for that to happen? We are almost on reaching our new ATH so we should be more excited on it since bull run and not the bear season will definitely give us the huge profits we are all waiting for.

The popularity of NFT continues to grow along with the price of tokens on them. Such strong growth attracts the attention of many new users and investors.

The bear market conditions that I personally understand

1. raise interest rates
2. The new crown epidemic is under control
3. Institutions stop buying cryptocurrency

Many people believe that the prospects of NFT in games are limitless, since games already have loyal communities and players who are already ready to buy game NFT and spend money on them.

3.

I don't think that there will ever be the time that the institutions will stop buying. Look at how they're buying during the bull run what's more if the market goes on bear.

They know how the market works and they won't let it pass that they won't buy if we're already in the bear market.

It's nice and excited to discuss the history of the ups and downs of prices. As long as I follow BTC from 2015 which I see the price is still 400$. Then 2017 experienced a tremendous increase. Then at the end of 2018 it decreased greatly. So if you look at this history, in 2022 there will be another increase after the market price correction is complete. The following is the historical price data;
https://i.imgur.com/TyR3GNY.png

Until now, how do you keep an eye on the market and conditions in the cryptocurrency space so that everyone does not experience losses at any given time? I also need to understand this because I think it is very important to learn.

NFTs are becoming more popular, especially in games. I think in the future games with NFT will be even more popular. Although the cryptocurrency market is falling now, the popularity of NFT is not decreasing.

you can learn from existing trainings, learn observation and analysis, so far you can see economic issues, war and exchange rates and use hearing to bring the graph to life.

The market is mostly dependent on Bitcoin so when BTC drops drastically and shows no signs of recovery that's when we have to treat it as a bear market and we have to know when Btc is constantly dropping all other altcoins are also following suit. I don't see any bear market coming in the short term hopefully. I've been out of a bear market a while ago after the market started to rise rapidly. That is a signal that the bear market is over, I think. Now our main focus is the bull market.

Right now, I don't want to think about such an accident anymore. Much better if you feel the bear market is approaching better, start selling your coins now slowly. The market is mostly dependent on Bitcoin, that's when we have to treat it as a bear market and we have to know when Btc continues to fall, all other altcoins follow too.

Yes, for the tokens that have no intrinsic value/use.

Also a big yes for NFTs in my opinion. They are doomed to crash given the current hype.

But I don't necessarily think that a "true bear market" will come in the same way that you would expect. Prices are a lot more resilient with institutional backing now.

This is difficult to know, personally I do not see bitcoin crashing anytime soon and if bitcoin does not crash then altcoins most likely will not crash either, however one possibility that I see happening is that if the price of bitcoin begins to go up because we have yet another round of institutional investors buying more coins and altcoins do not move then the money invested in altcoins could move to bitcoin causing a crash in the altcoin market while bitcoin skyrockets.

There are a lot of NFT games, but there are no particularly popular games. Although this is just the beginning and I think there will be a lot of good NFT games in the future. It takes time to develop.

if you finally see that the Red line continues to happen and never that we find it here now, because even if there is a dumping yet pump will follow in just days or weeks things that did not happen in 2018.
i think there will be no such thing happening in this soon.
what will come in 2022?

when mostly after the season of Halving ends , there is a following dumping .

Bitcoin did drop to $40k a few days ago, but I don't think it's a bear trend. The decline only occurred due to a number of outstanding FUDs and
panicked some investors. The decline in Bitcoin did make almost all altcoins go down too. But for me this decline is a good thing, because I can
get the opportunity to buy some more potential coins. Fortunately now the price of Bitcoin and altcoins is starting to look up a bit, hopefully
the crypto market can recover soon. For me the true bear market is what happened in 2018, because the crypto market in 2018 was completely
destroyed and made me suffer a huge loss.

Right, it's always the bear every after bull run.

But we'll see what's with it on 2022. Maybe the cycle is no longer like that and we're going to see a continuation of the bull run that has stopped @ $60k.

And if that happens, we all going to like that.

It's unpredictable but if we always look at the trend and be realistic, even in the stock market, you can't see a bull run everyday, so the market will most likely correct in the last quarter of this year and might continue next year. I'd rather be bearish now than think that the market will pump again after a huge pump in the past few months because that's more realistic for me.

If bitcoin crashes for about a week or so and then most altcoins are following the downtrend, without any signs of any upwards movement nor indicators doesn't show us that price will rise soon, I considered that as the bear market is now in effect.

But honestly, you don't need any signs to know that the same scenario in 2018 will happened again. Just focus on the progress made by bitcoin after that 2018 bear trend and form an analysis if the same case will happen again and some possible factors that might trigger it.

Yeah, that's the thing for sure that there's no bull run everyday. But this is crypto market for which the bull run can last long enough which we're seeing on this year.

But with the normal trend that we have witnessed onto the market, it's possible that we might see the bear soon and if not, maybe next year.

I appreciate your advice, bro. That's what I'm thinking too. Why we do need a pure downturn? These days it's just a routine to experience the ups and downs. When the market correction started, I considered that a bear market and filled up my bags. I guess everybody is filling up their bags with good and respectable cryptos at the same manner because it's going to pump like crazy by the end of November. 

Just wait for bitcoin to crash again and drop its price by 50% from its present price, i guess that will be the start of a real bear market scenario. But no one's gonna hope for that to happen, otherwise a lot of holders will start to lose if they end up panic selling. But for now, i must say that the market is in perfect shape. Bitcoin and the rest of potential altcoins are making a good price increase despite of the recent ban from China. So i don't think a true bear market is happening soon, not this year hopefully.

I would assume that unless there is a big hack or a problem in the blockchain of a big coin, we are not going to see a "true bear", we will just have some downs and crashes but they will be recovered not too later neither so it will be fine. Do not focus on bear like this, focus on the bulls because in the long run bitcoin always goes up and there is really nothing that you could do to make it a big problem for you.

Just focus on what you have and what you could make, if you focus on what you could lose then you will lose it. This is the question of a person who would sell when the price goes down, do not sell when the price goes down, buy even more when the price goes down. That is how you could make a profit.

I think times have changed and now we have new market players that have helped crypto grow and cushion it from such a crash coming around again. And with more whales and institutional investors getting on board and government regulation that in the pipe lines for most countries in the world I honestly do not see any way possible how the devastating crash can happen gain. Cryptocurrencies are here to stay so expect better things to come :) .

And it will slowly end by itself where when the hype and the trend has decreased or disappeared in the crypto space, because whatever is trending and nothing is hype that can last long, except for mature concepts on all coins that are already popular.

Now the popularity of NFT is just off the scale. The idea of NFT was very liked by celebrities who use them widely. And NFTs are also used for collections and games.

I believe that a real bear market should come in 2022. This is just my theory and it is based on the cyclical development of the crypto market. Each cycle lasts 4 years and at the end of each cycle we see a rapid rise in prices for cryptocurrencies, and with the beginning of the next cycle, prices fall. Why am I sticking to this theory? It's that simple! The fact is that if we study the history of the development of the crypto market, then we will be able to see just this cyclicality.

I don't think there is any exact answer to this. AFAIK this is longest ever running BTC bull season (correct me if I am wrong). Though there are dips (Musk tweet, China ban on crypto news) but BTC after every dip recovers strongly. This is something strange and against the historical behavior of Bitcoin. Important thing is that we need to remain prepare for the bear season coming ahead as market always take correction after a bull run.

There are some NFTs that did clicked and they are having a huge volume daily because of their entire development. We don't know for sure when this will tank.
But as long as you are enjoying the collection and the world of NFTs as you also profit from it, you're just good to enjoy and hold it as much as you can even a bear comes.

Have it in your mind that trend always repeat itself buy in a new dimension that might be different from the previous pattern. For now no sign of bear market but just a series of retracement that is happening now. Knowing when bear market will come will be very difficult cause the market does not show signs when something will happen but those whales who are very good in manipulating the market might have an insight about what the market can do next.

The question is how long will NFT provide benefits for everyone? because at the promotion stage every new project being developed always provides convenience and also benefits to attract everyone's attention to them with a very clear goal, and the main target is big investors.

NFT in games are being used more and more often and they are becoming more and more popular. But if there are still good games, the popularity of NFT will only increase.

So you think a bear market is coming? Some say no more bear market this price will remain the norm now.

As for NFT, in my opinion, the market has not fallen and continues to grow. While many cryptocurrencies have sunk in price. NFT prices continue to rise.

2018 was really a year of taught for the cryptocurrency and bitcoin and a year too sad to be forgotten. Well talking of bear market to be as then is what you and I cannot predict but if there's a strong rejection or dip on BTC then it will sure affect some other cryptocurrencies.

I understood that movement as well in the same fashion, FUD has always existed in this market and I think it is never going to disappear as the whales can earn fortunes by manipulating people into selling them their coins and then resell them at a very high price a few months later, so I am not worried at all about the bitcoin market and in consequence about the altcoin market either as both are looking strong at the moment.

We will never forget that year because of the heavy correction, we still got a hangover that year because of the bull run that happens in the last quarter of 2017 and continue in the early months of 2018, but after that, it's already a nightmare, but I'm glad many have still survived and we are here now enjoying another bull run. We learn from our experience and we will not easily fail even if the bear market will come anytime soon.

The popularity of NFT is growing along with their prices and areas of application of NFT. Now many people use NFT in games to give more opportunities for earning players.

NFT is only more towards games, not in other areas so its popularity is only for the game part and will also be faster because there are many NFT Game enthusiasts, but there are times when all of them will get bored.

you have already mentioned 2018 meaning you can just follow the 2018 trend and you'll find how the Red market can be objectively see the Bear market.

but this cannot be found this time around .

But you also don't get carried away with all the offers given by each project because among them there are also those who only offer sweet promises without thinking about the time that has been given by other people for them.

The principle pointer for me is positively Bitcoin as all coins pursue its worldwide directions. At the point when Bitcoin is diminishing, individuals feel that it will be another extended bear market, so they dispose of unsafe altcoin first, that is the reason they fall considerably more than Bitcoin. I as of now witness the past one however presently I am anticipating more bull in the coming months.

truth is you will neve know but actually btc no matter how the adoption is going anything can happen and we basically know what happens when people start painicking up and down and they start dumping like the end of the world I just hope things dont get bad like 2017 2018 It was bad The problem with most cryptos they get emotionally touch and things start to look really bad

If we look at history, it is likely that the bull market will peak at the end of this year or until the beginning of next year and the bear market will start in the middle of 2022 and will be very painful in the next 2 years. This is just my prediction based on the history of Bitcoin price after the Halving, the timing may not be 100% accurate, but I believe a bear market will come next year.

Im seeing btc as an indication if we are already in bear market or its just a simple correction. We know most altcoins are following the movement of bitcoin, therefore the price depends on how bitcoin will perform though some alts are behaving differently.

If there's a consistent price declined (about 50-60% of the price), the market is bloody, then we can say we are in a bearish trend already. It happened before and history might repeat itself but its not a situation to be worried about since thats one of the nature of crypto. But it doesnt mean it will stay that way forever, just be prepared and be used to it because its inevitable, sooner or later it will happen.

Of the several new projects that I have checked, not all of them are good and only a few that might be very good to follow at this time and also be used as new investment areas, because from what I have seen, there are still very few that are feasible and good to choose

And the most important thing is not to always be swayed by offers that are not clear and opportunities that are still not possible so that you can avoid scam projects and projects that often give lure to anyone.

The cryptocurrency market has started to grow again. Blockchain technology is developing, there are many new projects and new opportunities for earning. While the market is growing, this is a great opportunity to earn money.

The market decline of more than 30% is possible that it is already in a bearish period and this will definitely be prolonged once the indications of bitcoin start, therefore this is not a definite place but we can see with our eyes and possible trends where bearish can be happen.
This bearishness can happen at any time, even when the market is stable, sometimes it reverses direction with its resistance, so I can confirm that a bear market will definitely happen, but whether this will be prolonged or not, we still have not determined.

I agree that after the fall will be a growth and I think that now the growth comes. It is good that appear good and interesting projects that allow earning even more money. It will attract more attention to the industry.

I don't think we will see the same bear again. But we may not realize it but what happened to bitcoin which has almost halved just a few months ago, which can be considered a bear market, the fastest bear market possible. Have the same number of crashes? it can't be measured, it can't.

This is because most of the new projects are just recycled versions of old projects, while it is too limiting to think that all of what it could be done with cryptocurrencies has been done at least I think we have reached the limit of what it can be done unless another genius like satoshi appears and makes another huge breakthrough that moves the market forward, so if you can avoid those coins and invest in other coins which are solid like bitcoin.

I really dont think we will see crazy bear market like 2018 Is definitely impossible dont forget the whole crypto have changed and there are many developed ecosystems and any dump will be an opportunity for people to grab and imagine having 20k btc Am sure even grandpa will be lining up with their cash at hand I think what will happen is so many nfts and project might no survive once the hype starting getting weak

The question now is growth in terms of what? because if you only look at the growth in the price of cryptocurrencies, then it is a very common thing to happen even though it is something that many people who have made purchases in the past have been waiting for

Now the moment of market bear and many altcoin still dump, what will you do when you have chance to buy altcoin with lower price? still waiting next lower price or panic when altcoin have higher price and late for buy back. Better entry on altcoin right now before price up and never waiting new dump moment maybe now bitcoin time for raising up.

I agree that the best advertising for cryptocurrency is the growth of the market. :)
The ability to earn money attracts a lot of people  :D

As long as the market improvement can continue to improve, it will always be noticed by everyone and also by big investors for a profit that they can achieve for a very short duration, because market conditions that often change in a matter of days make everyone monitoring more against cryptocurrencies at this time

Bear markets are characterized by negativity, panic and runaways, where market sentiment is distorted.  It is influenced in part by changes in activity from the market or news base.  Right now, JP Morgan is once again putting the market in a position to force us into a bear market but not to a serious extent.  Lol, damn it.  Slight retrace to $50k seems to be the norm for the next rally

I thin that it was not a bear market. It was just correction of the market and soon the market will continue to grow and we will see new maximums of the cryptocurrency prices.

The main reason we are not going to see this are the institutional investors, they are not going to allow the price of their investments to go that low and if they have to put some money in the line to protect the overall long term health of their investments then they will do so, another difference is that if we compare the kind of investor that is holding bitcoin now with what we saw back then there is a massive difference, now people are really willing to hold their coins as many of us went through the crypto winter and we are still holding, and if that was not enough to make us drop our coins then nothing that happens in the future will be enough for us to sell our coins.

Now we see the growth of the market and a lot of people sure that in future cryptocurrency market will continue to grow too.

NFT continue to raise and the price of NFT rise. Now appear a lot of NFT and there is a big demand for them. Especially popular NFT in games.

I agree that NFT is a good way to make money especially for authors of NFT who also get royalty for resale of NFT.

The primary marker for me is positively Bitcoin as all coins pursue its worldwide directions. At the point when Bitcoin is diminishing, individuals believe that it will be another extended bear market, so they dispose of dangerous altcoin first, that is the reason they fall considerably more than Bitcoin. I as of now witness the past one however presently I am anticipating more bull in the coming months.

NFT very popular now, now wonder that more and more games use NFT to attract more gamers and more attention to the game.
