HOW DO YOU HANDLE BEAR MARKET

[Hardyrobust]

Why will a bear market be discouraging for anyone when that's the time to plant continuously and pile up as many bitcoin as possible for yourself before the bull run. Bitcoin price use to be cheaper during ths bear season and wise investors use that opportunity to stack more while traders and people who bought during the peak of the bull run due to FOMO sell in regret.

basically it is not everyone that is into bitcoin for long term profit. Those that are into bitcoin for short term profit will definitely be discourage when the market isn't going the way they plan. Which they are mostly traders and not investors, other reasons maybe they have used money that is not there discretionary income to invest in bitcoin with the aim of making quick profit and paraventually the market isn't going the way they plan , since the money used to invest is meant for there expenses the feeling of discouragement will set in and they will be left with no other options but to sell there bitcoin.

Bear market is to be expected if we are hoping for a Bull market as well unless we don't want bitcoin's price to fluctuate which is an unrealistic expectation, an investor should know that things like this are bound to happen and should be mentally prepared to brave them when they do, consistency is one way to pull through the bear market, not letting it to discourage and derail you from your accumulation, and investor should also be watchful of how fear affects their decision making process because the fear of losing too much has led to so many people selling at a loss because they don't want the price to drop to a much lower level, they forget to realize that the price will go up eventually, that the price depreciation is a part of the run and that it won't last forever, especially for bitcoin investment.

Why is it exactly called the bear market?

Bear Market = Market sentiment is to SELL bitcoin (value in USD drops)
Bull Market = Market Sentiment is to BUY bitcoin (value in USD increases)

A bear market is when the market experience a prolonged or continuous downward price trend. During a bear market, the prices of stocks, exchange traded funds and index funds might drop.

During this time, an investor should consider accumulating more coins depending on his pocket, he should consider diversifying it's portfolio, keep investing regularly and keep things in perspective

An investor should adopt DCA methods and he should avoid selling it's investment emotionally

Those who have been investing with a long-term investment mentality are not really that worried about bull or bear markets. Even then, there are many times when it becomes difficult to remain mentally stable. But experienced investors take advantage of the bear market and invest aggressively. At this time, new investors, especially those who have started investing for 2 to 3 years, are at the highest risk. Because they are not very experienced in the market, if the price goes down, they sell Bitcoin due to FUD. I think that if the price of Bitcoin is low or falling in the bear market, one should aggressively dca so that he can hold more Bitcoin at a lower price. Because after each halving in the last 2012, 2016, 2020 and 2024,  halved the supply of Bitcoin is decrease and after that the price basically starts increasing and reaches a new ATH. Therefore, it is more important to be patient in the bear market. Analyzing past Bitcoin markets, we can see that the more patient the investments , the more successful they have been.

I agree with you bro, it's good to analyze past Bitcoin market before investing, one of the attributes of a successful investor is Patient as you rightly said, some investors doesn't have patience especially when the market is not favourable, so it's important that one should understand the market very well before investing and also DCA is still the best strategy in investing

That’s why it’s even more advisable for an investor to only invest with a discretionary income in bitcoin as this method will not only reduce anxiety but it will also help the investor to be able to deal with the risk and volatility in bitcoin investment. To be able to deal with the bear market in the best possible way without panicking to sell or being too emotional whenever there’s a little downturn in the market price, we should always try to invest with our discretionary income.

Many people are waiting for a bear market so that they can buy Bitcoin aggressively
And history has shown that every bear market is followed by a bull run
So there is no reason to worry about your investment. A Bitcoin cycle turns over time and the market changes
However, a bear market is profitable for those who want to hold for a long time and invest sustainably
It is also important to know the necessary emergency fund and some changes in your will, such as regular investments such as once a week or a month
Only through the DCA strategy can you survive in a bear market

You're right investing from our discretionary income is the best approach because I could imagine the feeling if one had invested the money that he or she will be needing anytime soon with the hope of it multiplying before the due time not knowing that we are about entering into bear season, I'm sure that those that make this mistake May likely sell their holdings after seeing the market going that dip. this should serve as a big note of warning to those who are attempting to invest with the money that is meant for other important stuffs with the hope of getting a quick profit, is never right to do so because the market is unpredictable.

This is just a secular bear market know to be caused by financial policy, slowed economic growth, bursting market bubbles and various market sentiments, so investors should not loose focus during this period.

I just remembered a situation that happened sometimes last month before the current bitcoin pump that created a new all time high. And honestly I can say that it proved my point in so many ways. So during the last retracment of bitcoin that clearly looked like a bear market, a friend of mine got scared and he called saying he's planning on selling some portion of his bitcoins. Honestly that would have been the worst decision he made this year.
Using my experience with the market i had to calm him down and told him one thing. And that's bitcoin is very volatile. I've seen it grew in a matter of hours, so rushing to sell would be a mistake if you wake up the next morning and see price already broke a new high. Luckily for him he didn't sell and not quite long we saw how bitcoin proved me right.

So it's a very simple thing, when the market is bearish, use it as an opportunity to buy even more if there's money at hand. Don't buy the idea of selling. It might be a financial mistake..
