[BossCole]

It is often hard to judge where we stand in the current cycle between bullish and bearish. The biggest problem with this, is that if you cannot accurately tell where you stand in the current cycle, you will not be trading optimally.

We have put together a short, free, lesson to teach you what we have learned over the years about bull and bear markets as well as our strategy to trade different trends, cycles and market conditions. Watch the free lesson on Youtube here.

I would love to hear your own opinions on how to judge where we are in the cycle between bullish and bearish, so leave your comments below.

Bull markets are generally characterized by greens in charts and overall market sentiment that lean towards the positive side of things. Even news outlets are reporting good things about the market so it's easy to spot on. However on the bearish side of things, normally this is generalized by poor volume, price crashes and overall gloomy atmosphere in the market. Sometimes, it's hard to spot bear markets given that there is this phase that we call "denial" as everyone is still leaning towards a leap back to normalized prices however the trend seems to be dictating a downfall on prices and whatnot.

it is very hard to earn money during bears. opening short positions are also too much risky because whales hit the positions periodically. all we can do is wait and hold whatever you have.

Red signal refers to bear market and green signal refers to bull market. At the time of bull run, price grows rapidly and we can able to earn profit easily. But on the bear market we can't earn profit easily.

Actually, the most amount of money that you can earn could be during a bear market. If you are just hodling and wait for a price to be hit and make a profit then you will probably do not make a lot of profit. Shorting the price and playing with short term trading can be proven very profitable. You just need the experience to do that.

There are big difference between bear and bull market. Bull market refers to the rapid increasing of the price of all cryptocurrencies in the market while the bear market refers to falling down of the price of all cryptocurrencies. Right now we still experience bear market but all of us are hoping for bull market.

I don't know what is there to be confused about when we are down to more than 80% from our current ATH. You might be talking about the consolidation stage we are in where we are both seeing green and red candles as well as price rallies and price corrections, well make no mistake as this are just actions common in both market the only difference is the price actions we are seeing now is happening in the bear market. Just remember the points that if we have not seen any reversals of the market we are still in the current market situation which is the bear market.

It is very easy to tell the difference between bullish and bearish market. In the bullish market, graphs and currents are there to be shown as high and the prices go with green colors. Compared to the bearish market, it will appear to be graphs and currents going down and prices going low.
However, both of the markets had different characteristics which are very contrast but everyone could take advantage of both. You just need to be good in technical analysis and a little bit of speculation to win the market.

It is hard to find where we stand in volatile prices. Because there are a lot of people have lost and even abandoned crypto because of these losses. It may also be their fault, but the obscurity looks main reason. You can stay away from this for a short time, but in the end you get caught.

It looked like we were at the beginning of a bull run already but that went to hell. There is no way to know for sure due to the amount of manipulation that takes place, another bull trap is brewing

It`s not we who tell the difference, it`s market, we just need to follow. It`s all about entry and exit points, for each purchase or sell. If you bought at some point and price dropped you buy more, if price raised you sell. If you missed you chance you do all over again. You don`t tell the difference you just work with market and if it`s rising you are selling, if it`s dropping you are buying. Trading is like that, don`t have illusions about it, just work with market.

You'll lose -70% of your crypto value if you did this after Jan 2018. Trading is not as simple as if dip buy more if increase sell, that's just pure speculation without looking at any fundamental value behind a token/project. It's very risky and can be disastrous if newbie follow this suggestion blindly.

DCA is the best strategy imo, you should be prepared for any scenario, unless your tokens/coins has a strong fundamental (being used by a lot of usres already, and not just recently comes out from WP).

The first problem is that you must not be concerned with the strategies of others. You should know that your strategies will create your own money and wealth.
Copying by investing or analyzing others will not help you become rich.
You need to understand the situation and the principles of the market change every year to know your position.
This skill is very special and only you know where you are.

I'm sure everyone's answer can be justified, but logically that the market decline and market increase starts from the order point you make. when you trade you have to know where you are right now. The entire trading chart is only a past story, so you should see the potential for increase and potential for a logical decline. I realize this is not easy, but this can be an important note to determine your trading position at the starting point.

Bull market is when the price is continuously going up and in the market everything you see is green. While during bear market you will not see any price growth, at best the price will stay the same for some time. Also during bear market you will see major price drops in a short time, the same thing we can say about bull market(of course in the opposite direction).

[Shiversnow]

Just look at chart and tell me how that looks to you, sometimes it is really simple to see difference between bull market and bear market.

When crypto market start making higher highs and higher lows we could speak about the end of bear market.

You can truly see the big difference in bull and bear market buy just looking in the chart. Always remember that bear market is a kind of market where many people do not want to see or happen because it result to a low income. But, when it comes in bull market many people tend to buy more cryptocurrencies simply because of the income that they could get.

Actually the end is of the accumulation phase, because we are not in a bearish phase, if we review the graph, we must realize that the volume calculated by tradingview is not a consolidated volume, because we need volumes of some exchanges of Koreans, Localbitcoins, among others. If we do not have a consolidated volume, it is like entering a casino to bet.

To see the real fight between Bulls and Bears, we could see it from the perspective of an Orders Book, and the Orders Books that are shown in each Exchange, but because the big operations occurred from Bitfinex and Kraken, it would be very valid for we. to observe the Bitfinex order book, since the other exchanges adjust their price for Bitfinex arbitrage.

By having an idea close to this, we could say that for an upward phase to begin again, it must have accumulated the majority of the bitcoins, that is, between 70 and 80% of the bitcoins and have exceeded the offer. At this moment, the price will be ready to go up, otherwise, as we are in these moments, it is better to wait, since we do not know which direction to take, we can speculate, perhaps stating that there will be a small bull, but in the same way , the Operators will obtain gains, with a correction.

[BrewMaster]

whenever you are having a hard time telling whether we are in a bull market or we are in a bear market since you can't see enough signs to be sure about one trend or the other, that simply means we are not in either one of these trends!
the thing is, despite what most people think these two are not the only two options. we have a lot of different trends for example accumulation is one of them which is currently going on.

[slackcryptoz]

As stated in a quote above, there are lots of possible ways to manipulate the market. Every user isn't much aware about the various market trends, as we don't go in depth analysis of the market technically. Now only I too came to know about the accumulating trend which is the reason for the market to be moving within limits and not moving higher.

I don't think it's difficult to judge at all.

There are certain indicators such as what the mainstream media is talking about bitcoin that can be used as pretty much the proof that we are currently in a bear, or a bull market. If the mainstream media is screaming buy, it is likely due to the fact that market sentiment is extremely bullish and we're in that phase of the cycle. Vice versa.

Or, just look at the price movements. If a value of an asset is continuously correcting from previous highs, then you know it's a bear market.

What is hard to judge is when the start of the change within a cycle is. Not the actual market itself.
