What should you do in bearish market?

[loicuagio1979]

The downtrend market is a very normal phenomenon in the overall market movement. But for investors, this is a very unfavorable time because it is difficult to buy & sell and take risks if trying to buy a certain crypto code. The downward market often drags most crypto down.
So what to do to survive and live well when the bearish market happens??? Here are some tips for you.

1. SHOULD NOT CATCH THE BOTTOM IF YOU ARE LACK OF KNOWLEDGE AND EXPERIENCE:
Normally, investors like to catch the bottom. Catching the bottom is a normal action, even helping investors buy cheap cryptos, but it is a huge risk. Therefore, if your knowledge and experience are not enough, it is the best not to see the price drop too cheap and buy it, because in fact you cannot know how much the price will drop.
The thing to do in this period is to jump outside and wait for the price to stop falling, start to create a solid price base or show signs of increasing to consider whether to buy or not.
In the three states of increase - decrease - sideways, the trend of rising prices always gives us the highest probability of buying cryptos.

2. FOCUS ON READING BOOKS, SEEKING FOR INFORMATION, GETTING MORE KNOWLEDGE
Our knowledge is very limited, no one can claim that we know everything in this market. Instead of watching the price board, charts, just find a book about investment, or crypto trading to learn more knowledge from previous people in order to upgrade your level to new heights.
When the crypto market starts to bullish, with the knowledge you have just acquired, will you invest better when you don't know anything?

Every investor does not follow the trading think, maximum people thinking that one-day "bill gets" no learning, no hard work no experience, feeling just buy and sell next few days she is a "Rich man".  

I think all traders should follow some of the rules and regulations It should not be rush here Before taking any step here should be considered.

Your needed must follow some think:

1. Not all money should be invested in a token or a coin(you can invest 20-30% of your total money).

2. Do not invest any token or coin first analysis deeply than invest It cannot be thought that I will always gain a lot(target 5-10% average).

3. Do not follow any pumping group or signal group Because if you do this, then there is a lot more chance of losing your profit

if you want a real trader or investor so You should keep the same amount as you invest(always reserve 50% money on your total amount) Besides, you will lose your capital once.

Stuff like this isn't highlighted enough: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2848987.5

There are plenty of things to do other than trying to find the next big thing.

A bear market is a great time for accumulation, especially if you believe that the fundamentals are strong, and you can afford to hold for the long term. You can take chance and speculate by shorting the price , but you need to understand price movements to do this. The other alternative is a variation on price averaging. The price never goes straight down, but the drop includes periods of sideways movement, and price corrections when the price goes up. If you buy when you think the correction is near the bottom, and sell when you think it has gone up enough, then you can increase the quantity of Bitcoin that you buy. If you never take a loss, but move the coins that you can never sell for a profit into a HODL wallet, then you are just boosting the number of coins that you would have purchased as part of your averaging.

Note that this is an ultra safe approach, and is based on the opinion of someone who is not a professional adviser, and who isn't too good at chart analysis. With this approach, you shouldn't use money that you can't afford to lose, and you are prepared to tie up for a couple of years or more. Also you need to be convinced that the long term trend for Bitcoin is bullish.

1. "A bear market is a great time for accumulation, especially if you believe that the fundamentals are strong, and you can afford to hold for the long term."
--> I don't agree because:
- How long is long-term? You can wait for 3 months, 1 year, 3 years but can you wait in vain for 10 years or more?
- Today or next month or even next year the fundamentals are strong but who know they will be collapsed the second year because of sudden reasons?
2. You cannot understand the price movements and even the best traders because nobody can smarter than Mr Market
3. "The other alternative is a variation on price averaging."
--> I don't agree also because averaging price in bear market is the most stupid action. Never do this
My conclusion: Jump out of bearish market a.s.a.p and spend your precious time for your family and reading books to learn as much as possible about the market. The market is younger and younger but you're older and older. Don't be afraid of losing chances, be afraid of losing your money.
P/s: I am writing by smart phone so I can do smoothly. Please forgive me if I have any mistakes

Addition to #2.

There are great people who are sharing their opinion about the market. It's more of technical analysis with reasoning and they are worth and valuable to read. Most of these people are also co-forumers who are commenting what they think about the market.

Most of it can be found on Speculation.

- Today or next month or even next year the fundamentals are strong but who know they will be collapsed the second year because of sudden reasons?

My conclusion: Jump out of bearish market a.s.a.p and spend your precious time for your family and reading books to learn as much as possible about the market. The market is younger and younger but you're older and older. Don't be afraid of losing chances, be afraid of losing your money.

It seems to me that your thinking is related to daily trading or maybe short-term investments, and as many traders you are disapointed with this bear market for simple reason, low volatility -> low profit.

On the other hand such times are great opportunity for long-term investors to accumulate more coins and to profit in next bull run. They have big advantage compared to small investors, money they can invest and wait 5, 10 years or even more. It is nothing wrong to spend time with family and to read more, but next time when price start to skyrocketing people will come here and regret for not invested in time, same as every time in past.

I am not 100% sure that past will be repeated, but short 10 years of bitcoin history has certain repetitive patterns, we just have to look at them and decide if we will make our decisions based on them or not.

My conclusion: Jump out of bearish market a.s.a.p

Anybody can make profit in bull market and how do you know that bull market is not going to crash on next minute after you invested.

your precious time for your family and reading books to learn as much as possible about the market. The market is younger and younger but you're older and older. Don't be afraid of losing chances, be afraid of losing your money.

I guess you will keep gathering knowledge in your life with zero wisdom.

When the market is bearish it is time for investment. With bitcoin as other cryptocurrency the market will show continues fluctuation unlike the market trend. Users need to be prepared for all market situation and should have the ability to make an earning out of the market volatility. As an user stated when the market is bullish everyone can profit. A separate board has lots of discussions relating the same on speculation board.

[Ezenwanyi]

I agree that the market downward trend is averse to investments but so investors and traders are making it even as I type.
Just like you noted, one should try and understand the market setting of cryptocurrency in order to know when to invest and when not to sell and when it's good to hold.

Invest a bit more when there is a bearish market. Having a bearish market is a signal for a few investors to add some more investment. Nevertheless, you will gain profit from the bearish market.

I have focus to keep the funds in my wallet for long term. So here for bearish time also I do the same and keep my funds safe. Something I missed which I believe is investing on BNB.

I advice to the newbies please invest on top 10 cryptos because we can see certainly price dropped last two days. It will help us to grow more.

I have come to the realization that the bearish market trend is actually the best time to invest in cryptosphere.
The rule"invest when others are scared" comes to mind here.
My friend invested in ONT the other time when the price was 0.58$.
Even though some people tried to talk him out of it.
After 3 weeks ONT price rised to $3+.
He sold and just bought back again last week.
The bearish market is investment time. The only thing is for one to do proper findings about a coin before investing.

The bearish market itself is not the best time for investments, because it means that the prices will go down even more. Investing during the bullish market is mainly safe, since the prices are rising, but you might end up investing during ATH without even knowing it. The best think to do during the bearish market is wait until it looks like the prices have reached their bottom. And then buy and wait until the market gets bullish and the prices reach the point when you are satisfied enough with the profit you made. I also think it's good to decide a certain prices at which you'll definitely sell no mater what, because toehrwise the person might get trapped and not benefit from the dynamics at all because of being greedy.

2. FOCUS ON READING BOOKS, SEEKING FOR INFORMATION, GETTING MORE KNOWLEDGE
....
When the crypto market starts to bullish, with the knowledge you have just acquired, will you invest better when you don't know anything?

I see this reading thing and gathering of information while market is bearish as a corrective measure, to gain knowledge and take better decision next time. Because you can't have all the time or emotion to be reading at the time your money is at risk , you rather would be looking for means to safe your loss.

Work more to have more money to invest when bear market will finish, and study to make my work be more worth.

[exstasie]

For most people, the best answer is to just walk away from the market. It's not a good time for investment. If you're looking for returns on your capital in a bear market, you need to be shorting the market, and you need to be comfortable being a trader vs. being an investor.

A bear market is a great time for accumulation, especially if you believe that the fundamentals are strong, and you can afford to hold for the long term.

Just try to accumulate near the end of the bear market, not the beginning. People who bought in the $3,000s are a lot happier than people who bought at $10K or $12K.

[Zadicar]

Accumulate to the coins which you do believe that do have the potential specially to those coins who are on top 10 of CMC.They are cheap as of this moment
and if you can dare to risk up money the go ahead but dont expect too much.

If you are holding some bags, then its wise for you to keep holding on and wait for the market reversal.

I have the same sentiment also when it comes to investing coins in this bearish market. But I would choose coins from the top 10 of CMC list minus Bitcoin Cash.  I believe, individuals behind this coin are the only ones gaining from this yet another bitcoin fork. Sooner or later, we will be out of this type of market. And since mass adoption is getting stronger everyday, the price increase is very imminent.

Actually, bear market is not intended to get profit in a short time. Buying and accumulating coins with good performance and high volume yet low prices is the best thing to do during this market trend.
