Bull VS Bear Markets, How Do You Tell The Difference!?

[panganib999]

I think the determination of the market status is from what we are comparing. If you will compare the market from 2017 up til now you can really say that we are on bearish market however if we compare our current market from 2012, 2013 or 2014 it will come that we are on bull market right now because of huge market capitalization.

Those that does not benefit from the bear market are investors that buys and keep for long term, professional traders makes profit both during bull run and the bear market.

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.

We are in a stable cycle. Over the past 2 months, I have witnessed many increases and decreases in the crypto market, but it seems to return to a fairly low value.
The value of the BTC after the market is dumped is still higher than it was started to pump. so we conclude that it is in a stable phase and there are only a few small fluctuating moments.
This is a good time to buy low and sell high.

Since I am a short-term investor and a trader, I don't have much difference between the two periods. Although the bull period is a very important process especially for long-term investors, I think that both bull period and bear period do not contribute much extra to traders like me. Of course, during the bull period, it is possible to make faster gains because of the intensive and high transaction volume, but a good trader can find this opportunity in the bear market.

I won't say we are in a stable cycle over the past 2months because no crypto currency is stable even the stable coins/token also loose some cent some time.
The different between bearish and bullish market is bearish are the season of red trend in the market and only experienced trader can make successful trade during those moment but one good about bear market is that it great a fresh opportunity if making huge profit investors which bullish market was the season where investors sell the coin accumulated during bearish market and almost all crypto can make a successful during bullish market cause the price if the market usually increase simultaneously.

I think the problem lies when people call everything a bull and a bear. Bull and bear only applies if the price moves a lot, if the price is $4k and than goes to $20k that is certainly a bull run, even if it goes as much as $7k its a bull run, however if it moves from $3.4k to $4k thats not a bull run, that is just the regular movements of bitcoin that is quite common.

It also applies exactly the same for bear run as well, when it dropped from $20k to $4k that was a bear run, hell even the drop from $6.5k to $4k was a bear run but price dropping from $4k to $3.4k is not a bear run.

When you realize this fact you start to realize the biggest difference because it is required to have a huge difference in price to be on the bull or bear run and you will know the difference during that huge price change moments, these small changes happen all the time but those huge changes happens only few times a year.

Judging between bullish and bearish trends would always be hard and detecting specially with this very speculative market is nearly impossible.
You cant even make yourself dependent into fundamentals or technical. Price can turn upside down in an instant or without being noticed.As a trader you should really
be very versatile if you do like to make profits withier the price or trend either on both directions.

Thank you for this lessons that you have Put in place and some of us that has been in the financial markets for long,  understand that cryptocurrencies market trading trend can be easily been identified by see were bitcoin is and were it is heading to.  The cryptocurrency market can be analyzed using both technical and fundamentals analysis and we have trendline and candlesticks pattern that show us the direction of the market.

Identifying the difference between bull or bear market is difficult. Most times market seem to have been upturned for another trend to emerge but the next moment, it comes back to the former. Anyway, I just use candle stick to try my best on a long duration.

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.

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.

You would lose 70% of your value if you bought on top, from there price can only go down, so every new buying before bottom is a loss, if you decide to sell, you always have an option to lock that coins in some wallet and wait new ATH. I remember that crazy year, price didn`t drop on 4k in a day, there were a lot of fluctuations, and some pretty nice spikes. I was earning a lot of money, now much less but I`m earning.
Have in mind that I`m talking about bitcoin, not about some random token/project. If you don`t believe in bitcoin, and in price rise in future, in which coin can you believe in than?

Bull and bears are terms that would always be commonly encountered in the bear market, and it shows how the stock is doing at a particular point in time.

For new comers or novice investors, these terms are always a bit confusing but we can know this by analyzing that attacking style of the animals and in this case, the red signal is known to be the bear market while green signal is referred to be the bull market.

Now for the above comparison, I would say that judging from the market from 2017 till now I would say we are experiencing the bear market and our present market from 2012,13 is bull market.

No it isn't! There are rules that tell you what is what.

perhaps the most common definition of a bull market is a situation in which stock prices rise by 20%, usually after a drop of 20% and before a second 20% decline.

You could recently see some swings of more than 10% but there was no big hype because traders did not see it as a bull market. When Bitcoin goes back above 4000 dollars and stays there you can start calling it a bull market.

Bull and Bear are terms for actions that are often carried out by key players, especially in the crypto market and in stocks. Bull and Bear traders tend to contrast, have opposite directions on the market because both have different attitudes, goals, and desires.

How to identify the Bull VS Bear Market, maybe we can find out by using technical analysis tools, such as Price Charts and Moving Averages trend indicators. In this way we can find out which sentiment controls the market.

[shesheboy]

its not that hard to tell the difference   . bull market means there is a noticeable gains  in the market  while bear market on the other hand means the price of the cryptos are decreasing  . sometimes its hard to tell if there is an official bull run because a bull trap can usually take place whenever there a sudden increase in the price  but a bear market can easily be identified because there is no such thing as bear trap  .  if ever there is then it can rarely occur  .

In my opinion, the bull and the bear market is totally different. The bull market means that the price of the cryptocurrency market is going to run and reach the peak, and the bear market is showing that the price of the market is decreasing and reach to the bottom.

No one can say that whether we are in bull run or bear run until it happening for a while so don't try to predict it just move on with the flow and you will get much benefits by taking the right decisions.

[ethereumhunter]

I think right now, we are in the (almost) ended of the bear market, and some coins get a bull market situations especially altcoins. But until the bear market is gone, we will see the market will move like this, and it's hard to predict when the bear market will end with exactly. The bull market will come soon after this, and I think we can use this moment to rebuy as many coins as we can so we don't miss the best time to sell when the bull market comes.

The bull market is a situation which all coins can increase higher than the price before.
The bear market is a situation which all coins have decrease even deeper than the price before.

I only determine the difference of the bull market and bear market like that, nothing more.

[emulsifryer]

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.

It's just a basic needs on how to know what is bull when it goes to green signal and red signal or should we say bear market. As you can see the market has a positive changes which most of us predicted that it is a sign of bull and maybe it's also a good sign that bull run will appear anytime.

[valta4065]

Just price increase is not good enough indicator for a bull run. The trading volume also needs to increase and then we can start talking about bull run. Right now the volume is relatively low and it would be easy to increase price by few thousand dollars. Simple pump of a million dollars of fiat would increase price a lot. But that wouldn't mean we are in bull run because price would likely fall back down soon after. However in true bull run the volume is so big that it sustains slow growing and the price doesn't crash after big gains.

Those that does not benefit from the bear market are investors that buys and keep for long term, professional traders makes profit both during bull run and the bear market.

There is no excuse to make profit, whether its a bull or not. There is no difference at all aside from the prices, but of course professional traders always have their own ways to maximize the market. I see bear market as an accumulation phase, and bull as a profit taking.
