What is better to pour your assets into in a possible bear market? Is it better to keep them in stableconies or not leave the market and pour funds into more stablecoins?
Personally, I prefer not to leave the market, but to transfer assets from tokens to tokens. Think that blockchain projects and their tokens will be the best for this, since as the market grows, all money begins to go from the risky to more risky and liquid projects / tokens. Therefore, they must return in the opposite order. But you also need to take into account the prospects of the project itself, because if it does not have development, then money will not be poured into it either in a bull market or in a bear market. At the moment, for example, I am shielding a good idea to pour my funds into tokens young blockchains such as Near Protocol, Solana, Avalanche. Because they have perspectives and good technology and users who support them at all times.

To take advantage of bear market you need to have stable coin ready or some FIAT, the trick of bear market is buying low and waiting for another bull season to sell your bag, it's not that easy though cos you need to be financially stable or have a job secured

If you feels we're on bear market.

Then, mean your prediction is down right? why not buy crypto_down like (BTC_DOWN). So, while the crypto down you are purchase or buy is going down then you got profit. We're now on good situation because market is supported "DOWN" crypto.

Not really to use future trading.

In a bear market you can do a lot worse than to invest as much as you can afford into the top 10 or so coins. You need to be patient though, dollar cost average buying is a good plan. Wait a few years until the next bull market & then bang, guaranteed profits. We are not in a bear market yet so hold your fire.

If it's taking more stable coins, I would do that during the bull run. It's the time to stack up and take your profits in stable coins.

And when the bear market comes, that's when you release those stable coins and pour it to the cryptos that you're going to buy on their dip. That's the simple strategy that I've learned and will be continued to be done, it's just like a rinse and repeat process.

It totally depends on what you want. During a bear market, if you think the price will dip even further, then you can convert your coins to a stable coin and then buy back more coins when the price dips further. This way, you will be able to maximize your profit. But the risk is high and you have to time the market right. It might happen that the price doesn't dip any further and starts going back up. You still keep holding stable coins hoping it will fall, but that never happens. Or just keep holding them. No need to convert them to stable coins. When the price dips, if you have more cash lying around, then invest more and keep holding. The risk is low and in the long run, you make good profit.

You have misunderstood the use of stablecoins. Their use is to multiply your gains in between the cycles. When the bear market starts, you use stablecoins that you had from the previous cycle to buy BTC and then hold that BTC till the bull market starts and then sell it for a multiplied gain. They add liquidity where it is needed. They are not a hodl instrument as per my views.

That last line is the essence. Most projects cannot recover when bear markets start but they have improved handling of money nowadays so then do survive. But the point is that altcoin projects will never be as big as what bitcoin has been. If you want to profit from the bear, buy bitcoin.

I have seen hundreds of "good technology" projects in the past and they dont have any market activity nor social media activity any more. Teams have abandoned the projects and the investors have lost their money. This sector is like that, so be careful what you are investing in. Bitcoin is a safe bet, no matter what.

If you can't pick a good project to invest on this bear market i think it's a good idea to rely in stable coins. But if you're really interested to buy a very cheap coins to have a good return in the future, then must pick those coins that made good progress in the previous bull run to assure everything will gonna be alright such trusted projects in the market.

Base on experienced? I would say still the best altcoin in the top10-20. Because once they really went down hard during the bearish trend, it's better to fill your bags again and then wait for the next bull run in about 3 years.

Look at the price of Ethereum, during it's worst year in 2018, the price is less than ~$100.

And see what the price is doing today, not sure how much % is the increase, but for sure it will give you that huge profits down the road, if you buy them at the bear market and hold on it.

Before you invest in coins at the bear market, we should use our time to sell the coins at a high price and store it in stable coins forms so when the bear market comes, we are ready to buy at any low price.

If you think to transfer assets from tokens to tokens, you need to think about the time consuming to search for the right tokens that you can use for your investment. Besides that, you need to calculate the time to hold your tokens because not many tokens can increase higher at the same time.

But I am sure every trader or investor will have their own way to save their assets and will figure out by themselves if they do not have.

There is a lot of yield farming or staking these days, especially if you will use stablecoins, it's safer because you will convert to stablecoins to avoid such volatility or worst bear market.

Another thing is if you are a fan of some altcoins, especially mid-low caps. It is much better to move them on high market caps coins such as Bitcoin or Ethereum. It is proven before that the percentage of drop for some high market cap coins is lesser or the bounce is high compared to some low market cap coins.

The purpose of stable coins is to protect your investment in a bear trend because in the bear trend we don't have a guaranty that the coin we prefer to invest in will take the opposite direction and, so it's better to have some of your coins to trade to stable coins and if you have some coins or tokens that have less impact in the bear trend you can trade some of your coin here.

As far as i know that when the market goes to the bearish trend will give a very big impact to the altcoins. I were spreading my assets to the various tokens when the bearish trend has come just like diversifying my money into the some promising tokens in the market started from defi, nft game, metaverse, protocol coin, and web 3.0 token.
I just try to spread them all to decrease the risk by losing my money due to the bearish trend that is still happening in the market. You can think to put some into your reserved funds and this will help you to anticipate if the price of tokens gone even deeper than your entry price. Keep some into the stable coins were also the best choice in my opinion.

The coins you have indicated are now almost at their high and buying at such a high price may not be as profitable as we would like. It is possible that you need to wait for a stronger correction and only then invest your capital in these coins.

I always make sure that I invest in the best coins in my bag, this doesn't rule out the possibility of losing but for sure I'm sure with the top it won't be too bad when in a bear market even though it's the same in the end.
But I don't have all my assets in coins and of course this requires stablecoins to back up funds when bears come and be ready to buy them when they go bullish, so 50/50 is what I apply when I am in that phase, allowing me to stay on certain altcoins.

Just turn your coins into stable assets before bear market comes that's the only way you can take advantage of the bear market, I'd invest only after 80-90% loss on top altcoins just like what happened in 2018, so much buying opportunity at the time, I'm looking forward to such moment again

I advise you not to sell your assets at a loss, try to remain calm, you can always exit trades when you see that you have made a profit!!!



At the moment, we have not witnessed a sharp decline, it seems, there is some kind of stability in the price movement, so I do not think that the market is bearish. Perhaps the scenario this year will be different from the past years. We will wait for a while and find out the truth of the matter.

When the bear market starts and you are already in crypto, it is not really smart to sell them and go to stablecoin, what did you achieved with it? You already lost money and now you closed all the possibilities of making a profit as well. It is smarter to turn to stablecoin BEFORE bear market starts but there are very few people who can do that.

So, if you see the market going down, then you are already too late to sell, of course do whatever you want to do but accepting the loss makes no sense. Remember, the way to make a profit is "buy low, sell high" and if you sell while it is going down you are literally selling low, which is something you shouldn't do. Just keep on buying more if you can, if not then just keep on waiting and eventually it will recover and you will be in profit all over again. No matter what, selling while it is going down is a risky move for sure.

Cheaper market might not happen again, I’m confident that we will not see that kind of drop again. The whole market is trying not to enter into a big dump, Bitcoin was able to survive though and currently on the price of $50k. If you want to take advantage of the bear market, you need to have capital so you can buy more if you see some opportunity.

I think that what you can do is get into stables and yield farm on them if you are a bit scared of a crash.

However, definitely don't put all your money into stables because that would just mean you don't benefit from the rebound.

I would actually rotate out of stables into crypto assets if I had the funds to do so - to take advantage of the crash.

The thing is you wouldn't know when will bear market comes and if it indeed comes it will be in mach speed. What I try to say is that you can't timing any market season but if possible that it will come then better to invest on stablecoins if you're into digital currencies. The market is a double edged sword and you may get lost if you're behavior towards it isn't fine, hodl if you can.

Just choose which you think was good for you and feel that you were safe.
Investing stablecoins doesn't give you any profit unlike if you are investing in crypto (BTC, ETH, BNB...) it somehow you are taking risks. But if you are afraid to lose your money, then I guess you don't need to invest here, not even in stablecoins.
I don't see that we are in a bear market already, not yet. I suggest OP to think it twice. You'll need to have some fate as investing is risky and we possibly lose our money.

In a bear market, I personally will not leave the market but am going to stake my comes to help me earn more coins, most especially if the APR is good.
Bear market isn't really as bad as people think it is, this is because like it's commonly said that what ever goes up must surely come down, there is no way a currency will just keep going up, and bear market is the time where serious investors normally invest more so as to maximize profit before the bulls are back.

For now I am not very much interested in making an investment because of the market situation. The crypto-market is currently crashing and can possibly go into a downtrend. Wil rather wait for some time or when market start to show signs of recovery then I can invest in some good altcoins to make some profits.

Then when you would make out a move? When the market is starting to be bullish again? Whenever there's a market decline or correction then its been always the best time for you to make out some

investment or buyback on which these are the times you could only buy cheap coins and it would be sensible if you do buy on cheap price because market would always be having that
recovery which simply means that  you could really make profits with those movements.

Take advantage on these times and wont be making out those missed opportunities on where you would realize once you do see the market is already becoming green.

I think that the best idea within a bear market is to either:

a) Hold onto your position in crypto assets, and lock them into a staking pool to earn interest
b) Use any fiat funds that you may have retained within the bull market to buy back some of the tokens at cheaper prices.

Makes no sense to me to go to stables within a bear market because that would literally be buying high and selling low.

In bear market the best coins will be the top 5 as per CMC. You need to have good capital first and second it should be in stable coin. With every drop start accumulating by investing a certain amount and hodl. Then wait for the market to recover. The risk is high as no one knows how low the market can go so always DYOR.

I would stay away from the altcoin market until the market stabilizes at the bottom if i make a decision to invest again. I am happy with the current run and i made my profit even though i was not able to take full opportunity due to the untimely pandemic situation and hence looking forward for a major correction so that i can keep accumulating for the next rally  ;).

The major alts after a shakedown in the valuation is always a great attraction, except for ETH considering the high fees and we still have no idea about how the developers will solve the issue.

In this situation, it is better to focus your attention in valuable alts with active use case already.
ETH is still one of the top choices among crypto users because of the hope that ETH team will finally resolve their gas fee issues.
And I also believe that they will. It may not be today, but I know they are doing their part to resolve this matter.
Maybe, this is the reason why people still trust ETH because they have one of the solid dev teams here, and we know they are not sleeping on their problems.
It is only a matter of time before they will announce their advancements so the hope is really there.

People think to inverse on top 5 coins. But it's not a correct move, you can look into best return giving coin in top 100.Because investment only for the profit and not for the holding. Holding is good option only for the long term holders and not for the short term holders. Investment shows your knowledge on crypto currency.

Actually, the best approach depends on you. Since you were able to give constructive feedback on what you see on the market, you end up with that opinion. Now with your plan strategy to see if it's effective, it's necessary that you will give it a try and see the result for yourselves. Investment in crypto should always have a serious approach.

Sometimes you will really end up testing lots of strategies before you can find an effective one that you can use for the long term. Furthermore, soon you can hit the perfect strategy. Just keep going.

The choice of coins will be tough especially in a bear market. We know how to research on specific but the result varies per person. Trust our analysis and put faith that it will work someday. We should have different strategies that we can use on different trends. Not because we saw others earning on that specific coin, don't just follow.

We need to follow our own factors when choosing a coin. That's the best thing to do rather than copying other's choices.

My strategy is to get rid of altcoins that I am not really sure about and hold my money in stablecoins until it is a new dip and I can buy more solid projects. Of course I don't sell off coins of projects that seem to be really strong, for example, ethereum, polygon, polkadot. I will continue holding them as I believe that they will cost much more in the long term.

That's right, when the market drops more than 5%, immediately move the asset to a stable coin, of course the easiest thing is that we don't have too many coins so it's easy to switch to a stable coin, and our advantage of storing assets in wallet exchanges is that it's easy to swap to stable coins.

I also agree using that way to prevent market price volatility. If we save the asset in a stable coin, our asset will not decrease so much and we will have a chance to buy back any coins at the bear market. As stable coins are available on many exchanges, we will not get into any trouble if we send them to other exchanges. But you should be aware of the transaction fee by sending the stable coin. But if you want to sell one coin to the other to prevent reducing the value, I think that will not always work because that coin will get an adjustment from bitcoin movements.

Bear market always give the chance to invest and hold your coins for some time, when the bear market comes I think you should invest 70% in top 20 crypto coins and left 30% invest in top 20-100 level coins.

The best way to get by the bear market is to have enough fiat or stablecoins intact to scoop the dips of good altcoins, personally I'll change some of my crypto to stables by end of they year, just incase we enter a bear market anytime soon so I can buy the dips of good Layer 1 blockchain the likes of Near, solana, ftm and dag is included,cause if we enter another bull cycle again they can yield some massive gains.

The truth is it is a good option to distribute the money in different ways of diversification, however considering how the world is going, I would think of some altcoins, but first I would think of BTC, then altcoins and finally in gold, even if it is Digital Gold, this It has a lot to do with how each person thinks, in particular I think of real estate for investment, because that is the most correct way of diversification, I would never leave everything in crypto because it is not known what could happen in the world.

I dont know if you tried that in real life, but by doing so it is true that you might be able to cut a possible loss, a better option would be to have sold at that bull market and hold the stablecoin while the bear market is going on. Your method might work if there was never a bullish trend on that coin, but in such cases you might want to reconsider putting money in that coin in the first place.

Top20 is too much to spread on. I would go with the top5 or max top8. Going for the twenty, you end up getting some coins which have recently gone up and lacks historical charts to refer back on. If you willing to take the risk, its fine though.

I would defenitely buy bitcoin in the bear market, whatever capital I might have at hand. I already have buy orders placed for the next price drop.
