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

[jhongzjhong]

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.

I agree because bull run it takes months or years that we can indicate the bull trend is happening. Small spikes of price increases it doesn't mean bull run is coming. It is natural to Bitcoin or entire crypto that have to fluctuate and that now happens to the market if small spikes happen the opposite side had a bear market.

The bullish market is identify by two indicating elements which are the chart moving on a green lane and secondly profits making from trading and holding. But the bear market on the other hand is accompanied with red chart movement and losses, but in between the bullish market and the bear market is what we term stable or stagnant movement were smart trader make little profits till the market skyrocket again.

A bearish market always behaves like a bear market. In this market, Cryptocurrencies prices are stagnant -- prices are lost more than they are gained

While the bullish market behaves like a bull market. The market experiences more upward movement, less dips and stagnation, better still, prices are gained more than they are lost

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.

I see that the big difference between bull and bear market is the name. lol. And I think the title of your topic should ask the sign of bull market and bear market. This is useful knowledge for the people in the bitcointalk forum instead of your topic.

From a technical point of view and at the market level, one can observe the effort that is made in the trade when a green candle is generated, if it is accompanied by a good amount of volume and its movement is persistent and is maintained for several days. , it is a clear option that there are many bulls that push, in the same way with bears when they lower the price of the market with volume, and the most traditional way is to observe the Book of Orders.

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.

It is all users will to take profit or to lose the money as if we really want to make profit it is good time to  buy at bearish and stop thinking about selling for long term as bull will come one if you invest your money hold it with to wait, bull comes when price of market rises, so the only difference of them is bull stands for high price and bearish stands for low or red market.

The bull market gives more of profit taking , it puts investors/holders in green mood  but as for the bear times, is more of sad moment for same holders but people who trade would still be making profit on the bear.

Investors are very smart on this and for those of them looking to maintain positions in the stock market they quickly adopt a defensive strategy, this is the strategy that allows investing in larger companies with strong balance sheets and a long history of their operation, they consider this to be a defensive stock.

On the other hand, it is the riskier companies, such as small growth companies that are typically avoided because they are less likely to have financial security that is required to survive the downturns.

Any trader who cannot decipher between the two extremes is not ready to be a trader or is not qualified to be called one. Its also something worthy of note to consider that these two points are equally subjective as someone who entered the market when the price was $3,500 and now price is $3,700+ would surely believe that he is in the bull era but the same cannot be said of the individual who entered at the time when the price was around the $4000+. There is no need for any special lesson of videos to watch to be able to discern these two important positions.

Obviously, because it's easier to trade at this market since the price going uptrend most of the time.
The fact that most of us are making easy money when the market is bullish, majority would prefer to see a bull market.

but as for the bear times, is more of sad moment for same holders but people who trade would still be making profit on the bear.

Sad moment if you will sell, but if you will see the opportunity to load your portfolio, this becomes an opportunity.

I don’t think there is anything difficult in telling when there is a bull run or bear market. Even before it starts , you will see a lot of people talk about it. Just like in 2017, a lot of people predicted this current bull run and that’s what happened now. They are also predicting the bull run and that might happen at anytime. But, if you’re the type that’s watching the market keeping up with everything , you’re likely to know when it starts.

Bull market - when the price goes up and you can get profit and bearish market - when there are no positive trends and the price declines, it is a risky period to invest your money

Though you may right there but if you think it thoroughly it might be a blessing of disguise since the price is cheaper you can actually buy more than and accumulate as much as you like than buying it when it is on its peak already. The riskier to invest is when you invest when it is on its peak already when the time it has to go down there is no way to go up but instead down. That's why you have to buy it when it is on its bottom and wait for years until it goes to its peak.

I don't think it's risky to invest your money when the market is bearish. In fact, buying at bullish is riskier than buying in bearish market. It's beause when the market already soared up, the tendency of resistance to the price is more likely to happen. Buy low sell high.

Gentlemen, you talk in common categories. In every certain situation you have to analyze market

but sometimes people are afraid to buy in bearish, because it is feared there will be further bearishness. precisely in my opinion, when in a bearish area, we must learn to look for long positions, so that profits are easier to obtain

Also when buying in bearish market is riskier for other because they want to earn by buying and selling simply trading and they end up to loosing their value and sometimes their money wont be able to circulate to earn more value.

Confidence is the key to recognize which one.
In Bull market, personally , I always hate myself not having  grabbing enough bitcoins.
Otherwise, when It goes Bearish, I hate myself not having cash out enough. 

[sclmte]

Bullish pressure seems to be waning as every attempted rally is quickly dispatched by strong bearish pressure. For now, the market structure remains bearish as we continue the trend of lower highs. The rallies are becoming weaker and the supply is drowning the remaining demand toward the top of our trading range.

The primary factor that determines the price of crypto is the amount of buy and sell orders. Bull market is when price goes up when there are more buy orders than sell orders, however bear market is when there are more sell orders than buy orders then price goes down. If everybody is really HODLing the price would not be crashing, it would be at least steady. People start to panic, which causes them to sell, which lowers the price. In the field of trading, be strong and be less emotional. Just relax, Bitcoin will survive, it will rebound.
