Is the bear market behind us now?

[simongoat]

There doesn't seem to have been any media FUD for a while and I keep reading how institutional investors are coming into the market. Is the bear market over and is renewed optimism coming into the market? It easy to see what is happening now as a new bull market but I've been caught out before.

the bear market may be over now but this "optimism" that you are talking about is not back to the market yet. it will come back when the big rises begin and it is starting to be late to buy back. that is when the masses start FOMO buying.

The price of bitcoin is now stable and with that many people are now coming back in to buy bitcoin. Stability in bitcoins value means that the bearish trend is no longer happening thus people are now tempted to buy more bitcoins before it increase in value again. Possibly we will be expecting 9k$ by next week so let us wait and enjoy huge profit.

the bear market could be, meaning we are building up to a bull run. Once the stability is seen by outside investors, money should come rushing back in. This could take weeks to months though

[Gufeng]

I dont think soo i think everything could happen again and we will see bears again and price falling like before its small moving change.

From my own stand, the bearish period isnt totally behind us yet until bitcoin gets to the value it fell from. When it reaches the price range and able to overtake the $20k then the market is ready to be termed as bullish.

I feel the same. We were oversold according to the relative strength index and it just had to return to 9k which is right below 50% of the ATH. In the previous 2013 bubble we had a long period of trading just below half of the ATH. If I remember correctly it held for half of the 2014, but eventually began to find new lows. I'm not saying it's going to happen now. I'm rather bullish at the moment, but we can't rule out the possibility of going back to 6k. At least not until we break through the previous resistance of 9100 USD

The bear market could be over, but it doesn't mean that we're necessarily going to a bull market. I think that the cryptocurrency markets are going to go sideways for some time(probably a few months?), buts that's just my guess. Who knows anyway? Might just be another bear trap, we could easily go back to the $6000 price range.

They are quiet for awhile but they will come again and again we don't have to let ourselves be affected with those.

Being optimistic I'll say that it's over now.

It easy to see what is happening now as a new bull market but I've been caught out before.

Long time with correction and we are still far from the all time high. If you've been caught out before, take time to analyze it.

Don't worry the bear will be back in 30 days. That's when Google adsense's ban takes effect.

Explain?

When the ad ban takes effect it's just that a few ICOs and platforms will not gain publicity through ads. That's it. It doesn't necessarily mean that when the ad ban comes that people will be selling crypto due to fear. It's just the ads. Not that significant if you ask me. People are making it too much of a big deal.

[Tactical Genius]

Well the current bullish run has been longer than the intermittent ones we saw during the great crypto depression and that maybe a signal the bearish market is over.Yes,alot of FUD has also been left behind and we can only hope it remains like that.

[carter34]

At every time, I think the bearish market is still with us. This is because it is part of the business.  It could not be permanent, forces are there to get it into another trend just as we have seen in this move up.

Its slowly pumping, well I hope it bitcoin can reach at least $9k this month. Almost altcoins are also pumping since last week and I think this will be a good start of a great year with cryptocurrency.

The bear market is only over once we decisively break above $10,000. We're a long way from that.

I agree with you, the bear period is not yet over, the stability of price is just for a short time, the bull is not run fast for now.

On the other side though all the people that get phised by clicking on Google ads for fake sites (I know somone who lost $2K on a fake shapeshift site) will go down massively. Which is a good thing.

The bearish sentiments started to decrease a couple of weeks ago. The tax reporting period in the US is over meaning the inflow of cash into the market is happening now. The bullish market to prevail as institutional players getting into the market. Barclay's Conglomerate to join the market, some other big players are entering the market by buying the exchanges in Japan. I believe the financial institutions will eventually buy all or most of the top exchanges out there to control and regulate the market. At last but not least, we can see the trade volumes are getting bigger these days. Therefore, big YES, the bear market is behind! Let's all go bullish!

The bear market is gone, you can safely start to buy again. Before it was filled with bull traps but now there is a lot of support from big buyers so it is unlikely to fall below $9000 again. If it does it will just be a brief dip on it's way up above 10k again
