Who are the bears of our time

[joy99]

If you have been in this crypto industry, especially in this period, you would keep hearing "bears" Who do you think are the bears that we keep mentioning?
1. Are they some group of people who aim at destroying the market each time?
2. Can anyone at all be call a bear?

Personally, I think that in our current bear period, traders are the main bears because they keep taking us back just because of the little profits they will get.

There are no bears anywhere I want to believe
Just group is rich dudes who directs the path of crupto currency prices and volumes to their advantages

And they benefit more by the panic activities of respective hodlers / dumpers

It's the market situation itself that we've been calling the bears. There will be some other meaning depending on the use of the word but it would always be directing to the situation of this market. "We're on the bear market" which means that we're still on the lows of this market and most people are selling. If the word is directing to some specific people or group, they are those people that has always negative sentiment about the market, so we usually say 'those bearish people'.

There is always a manipulation in market, people are scooping up btc and other crypto but most of those big trades happen over OTC markets, so we don't see much effect on price tracking sites.

[jerryspringer]

Well first you can speculate against BTC now and second alot of early adopters were cashing out over the last year. I think we will see a new ATH sooner or later, but for that we need another big hype on CC in general.

Never got that in  my mind because bear market it is like situation which is get down trend and we all know maybe there are big people is behind it. Maybe it is true that trader itself who actually bear because they which make price stagnan or down.

I believe that the bears of this days are those who hurriedly dump their token immediately it gets to the exchange. These are people killing the market price.

Manipulating is always come when people think it is bear/bull trend I hate those people controlling the market by the way in cryptoworld you will always encounter the word "bears" this is a group of people that manipulating the price other people called it a dumper and then those trader go beyond in this flow of crypto.

You mean whales? Every coin have their own whales and group of whales, these are people or group of people who spend time and money to hoard and hype coins they are holding, and ICO is a good time to be a whale or part of the whales that is the reason we never run out of ICO investors.

[Callanta787]

Bears aren't group of people ,its just a meme for market condition when dips happens and stay around its called 'bear market ' and when surge in price happens its called 'bull' market. As for market manipulators we call them whales

[april08]

I think the bears should be referred to the forces of demand and supply. The invisible hand according Adam Smith. Though business environment has a role in the fluctuation of prices; rumours, news, government policy etc. On the other hand their might be cartel or cabals too directly or indirectly influencing the market.

You are right, for the very first time BCH was the one which disastered the market by making a manipulation which created a huge impact on every single coin and till now we are in this bluddy bear market. It's big investors who plan all these stuffs to buy coins for cheap prices.

I think you are confusing the bear and bull with whales,the bear is used for the declining period of bitcoin prices in long run and the bull is used for uptrend of bitcoin prices which is not denoting any persons as you thing.Whales are the people who may manipulate the prices because they are holding huge amount of cryptos which enough to distract the price movements at any time.

You can't take a conclusion easily, a little bearish trend was happening to the market and that means there will be a lot of possibilities that get another pump or even dump. We will need a very long time to see the big bullish trend will come back again in the future.

[Herbert2020]

you are indeed confusing a lot of different definitions with each other!

first lets start with the market definitions:
bull market: is simply a market where you expect prices to go higher so in this market buying on each dip is recommended.
bear market: is simply a market where you expect prices to drop and continue to go down so in this market selling on each high is recommended.

similarly a bull is a trader that speculates the market is in "bull mode" so he acts accordingly (buys in dips) and a bear is the opposite meaning he sells.

the only trick to be successful is to speculate when it is a bull market and we are in a bear market so that you can act accordingly because if you act as a bull in a bear market or a bear in a bull market you will lose money because you are going against the current.

Yep, indeed. That's what actually people do right now, taking back their profit or their investment is better rather than holding. there are no whales in the period.

[baghdatis1990]

      Bears are not a certain group of people, but they refer to a certain period of the crypto market in which prices are falling very much. It is generically called the period of bears by crypto users. However, we can consider bears as those who invest in crypto and immediately withdraw their investments when things do not work the way they want. That affects the crypto market a lot. You have a lot of patience on the crypto market.

you have really made me understand the whole terms. Thanks a lot and indeed, I was confused at first but you have clarified things to me.
I will not blame people for selling at higher prices this time again because that's the only way to make money.

Bears are usually associated with big traders who are shorting the market. Perhaps those weak hands or panic sellers can also be included in this category  

[Little Mouse]

No, imagine, no one trade for one day. What wll occur, volume will be zero and people will think that it's the end. They will start panicking and sell with lower price. The price will be dumped more. I think everything is okay now.
