When to get in and get out in Bear/Bull Markets

[BoitCoinZen]

it is very difficult to be able to predict bears or bull markets, it's just that usually when bear market occurs there must be bad news and when there is a bull market there is good news, until now I still believe in the method.

You can follow the signal, when there are many negative news circulating such as a ban, and a massive marketcap drop, and the price weakens, maybe we will face bearish and if the price starts showing more frequent green, maybe its signal that bullish will happen soon, and don't forgot to buy

You cannot just because you are beginning to see some small greens, just assume that the market is set for a bullish run. Things do not happen that way and it is all about how you are actually able to know what you are doing on your own when it comes to the market situations and what you are looking at based on your strategy.

That part is what a lot of people do not get to always seek the knowledge to be able to make those decisions which is one of the reasons we said, it is either you get to understand what to do in a market or just hold for the long term.

In my opinion this current situation of market is near with bull market, i have prediction bull market will started in the december next month. When the price of all crypto dumped to 80% to 90% that mean the price oversold and and its good times to wait bull market. And when some crypto already going up to 10 -50 times that mean the price has possibility will change to bearish market.

Always take profits, because the market is too risky, we all know that crypto is very volatile, you should know how to take profits or how to stop when you always have loss on trading or some crypto things like investing in some ICO. Take profits is really the solution of the bear/bull markets problems.

you mean  selling your coins at  loss and then stopping ?  but if you stop how can you possibly earn huge income in the future ?   instead of selling at loss , why cant you just leave them on your wallet for a while and you'd better divert your mind onto some busy activities outside the cryptocurrency scene so that you wouldnt get tempted to touch them .  that is actually what im doing right now , i dont look for the charts/prices so that i wont feel stressed but i only continue my sideline task here in the forum .

Yes you do have a point and I understand technical analysis is not the only tool to be used but definitely worth learning right? Plus I really don"t intend to do it as a day trader, to be honest I am trying to capitalize on the next major bull run like what we saw in Dec 2017 and I was thinking learning a bit of TA wouldn't hurt too much. On a day to day basis what you mentioned holds absolutely true, its more of a guessing game and the potential of me left with nothing is very high indeed. :-)

Actually, you need to diversify your methods in terms of doing the actual trade in the platform mate. when you do bearish you supposed to have a well verse in this matter anyway, or if you want the safest methods perhaps bullish is the best tools for this, due to its less risky anyway and very far to loss our capital too.

I agreed with what you said and even the knowledgeable crypto traders still make mistake because the actual time of making decision of getting into the market is the hardest part because the whole profit/loss depend on it. Meanwhile, this is why I sometime consider crypto trading as gambling and no strategy were always accurate.

 As per my experience what i have learned in trading, it is very difficult to gain profit in the bear market, but you can still gain some profit for that you have to spend a lot of time in front of your computer, when the price of any coin comes down 10 or 15 percent buy that and when the price stabilizes you can sell it. In this way to can gain 10% profit.

Yes, there is no point making any predictions at all, as all we can just do at the moment now is to just see what the trend will bring. I really do not have much doubt myself that this market would actually get to bring some good trend upward before the end of the year, but that is something we will just have to wait and see how that would be panning out, which in this case, as long as the market keeps moving sideways, there is absolutely nothing guaranteed yet.

Trading a market and understanding trends is always a challenge even for pro traders. While playing with it, must have a strategy and know what you are doing, as this is how you will be able to identify a bear or bull market when it is beginning its trend and then know how to make decisions based on that.

In bear market the limit sell and buy is the key to gain profits while in bull market simply holding can be the easy way to pick up some profits.

Behave like how the minority would.

The 5% club, understand the activity of big Wall Street investment banks and hedge funds. They are aware of how markets move and don’t listen to news or tips from gurus for guidance.

The 5% club can compete with the big players because they have built something beautiful from a box of scraps. They’ve worked hard to understand the market, and they’ve used their imagination to create tools, that, while not being as sophisticated as the big banks and funds, get the job done.

It is always better to hold your cryptocurrencies when you see the bearish trend. However, if you "catch" the moment of its start, you can earn really good money. When bull run is on its peak, sell the alts.

Always take profits,

Stop blabbering about always. Its not possible to take profits "always". Do you even tried your hand at trading for you are making such comments? Just think of the bear market when the majority of coins are at -90% and people are hodling for future. How do you expect them to make profit from that?

because the market is too risky,

Every speculative market carries risk. Be it stocks, metals, crypto whatever.

we all know that crypto is very volatile,

The month of October didnot show much volatility at all. November is showing green now after a long time.

you should know how to take profits or how to stop when you always have loss on trading or some crypto things like investing in some ICO. Take profits is really the solution of the bear/bull markets problems.

It is not. You literally have no idea about trading and are posting to increase your post count.

I support you in your desire to study the market and learn to analyze the market situation. This is very necessary for any trader. Without this knowledge, the risk is only to lose money, not to earn. In my trading, I am guided not only by technical analysis, but also by fundamental analysis, and the result pleases me in most cases. Therefore, study the market completely. Now there are many sources in electronic and printed form, from which you can get knowledge.

Profit is something you make based on the plan you actually have which in this case, there is actually no guarantee when it comes to making profit on a trade which is why the idea of risk management is something that every trader must always have when it comes to trading the market for profit.

What is important when it comes to getting into a bull market or out of a bear market, will be dependent on your strategy which in most cases, will still have a lot to do with the market you are trading, whether it is a spot market or a margin market?
