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.

Agreeing with you, a bad market has taught many things to me, because then I become more patient and not greedy, because the Bitcoin market can be tamed with extensive knowledge, and it requires failure first.

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.

Sticking with the top 10, is good, but actually you don't need to only stick with them, there are plenty of good coins in the market.
You can go with a medium risk and high risk investment, because of the bearish market, there are coins that are very undervalued, they may even look worthless but in reality they have an active devs and therefore they have a potential, that's the gems in the market.

During bear market our holdings are decreasing thus its better to stay a way for a while and refrain from monitoring the market often to not be tempted to panic sell.

Some investors who set their investment to hodl for long period accumulate when the value of popular coins are declining, although we cant figure out if we already reach the bottom during this time atleast we know that if the value of our favorite coins are cheap its a best chance to take advantage it.

Well I think those users who have enough knowledge about the market and knows how to do technical analysis are likely the investors that are fully aware of what should we expect next in the price of our coins.

In bear market our holdings lose value, amount doesn`t decrease if you keep it safe. There isn`t bear market for day traders, there is just a range of fluctuations, for holders bearish market means discount and they are buying if they think that bottom is here, or at least close. That is the clue for people who don`t know what to do, you can always trade cause price always fluctuate, if you are long term you need to buy more and wait for your moment.

You also need to believe that there is a future in Bitcoin in order not to be tempted to sell of during bear market. This is the reason why most of new people in cryptocurrency tend to be a panic seller.

[TheCoinGrabber]

I think even with experience it's still hard to predict the bottom.Since we expect Bitcoin prices to rise eventually, I think anytime other than a rally is a good time to buy - that is if you intend to hold longterm.

[gowobonyok]

don't listen too seriously to the news that brought you to FUD, if indeed you are serious in this industry. because it can make you cut loss. it's better to keep hodl, and also buy again.

[dothebeats]

Point number 2 is actually a good point if you ask me. There are a lot of people who, during a bear market, just forget about the market all in all and just tend to focus their attention on something else and are not trying to gain information while the market is bad. Personally I view a bear market as a learning opportunity to get better at trading and not just rely on a bull market to profit. One does not necessarily need to trade in order to learn but reading a lot of materials and articles regarding the present trend of the market is, IMO, one of the best things to do.

As the market fluctuates without any prior indication, the large scale price fluctuation easily make the people get into panic attacks. These days very few get as a prey for the inappropriate news that is being circulated. Bearish market is same as bullish market and the fluctuation continues with it. It is us and who are knowledgeable can make use of it in making profit.

This is a remarkable thing between bearish and bullish because both of them had same trends, base on how a trader observed along the way. We might see some good moves and eventually it doesn't meet our expectations when bad fluctuations occured, during volatility begun to initiate more spikes. It can be an upward movement or sometimes downtrend changes depending on market changes that we see. During bearish market don't decide quickly as if you have no future on your assets, and instead of selling early prefer holding your tokens and sell when price increase at profitable value.

The current situation is like climbing up on a mountain so it definitely be tougher for everyone but if you wait for sometime we had some ideas about how to climb and make it successful this will be the same situation for currency also so I am not doing anything in this situation I waiting for a good time and make it profitable

Well I think those users who have enough knowledge about the market and knows how to do technical analysis are likely the investors that are fully aware of what should we expect next in the price of our coins.

What you can do is follow the trend, and as long as it is down, which has been the case for over a year now, people expect it to go down further and either short or have fiat ready to buy up spot in case the price does tank.

The thing however is that following the trend hasn't really offered that much of an advantage in the last months. People were better off longing the 200WMA touches and take profits on the upper side of the channel we're in.

It's quite similar to how the $5800 mark offered massive support last year. You long the $5800 touch and short where you believe the next lower high would be. It worked for most of 2018 till there was no support left and we tanked hard.

To be fair, it is enough just to follow all the basic rules of investing, and then there will not be much difference between a growing and a falling market. Simply, you will know what needs to be done in a given situation and control your risk level. Catching a falling knife is one of the biggest mistakes. It is better to miss part of the profits than trying to catch the bottom. And most importantly, you can never forget about stop loss. No one knows where the market will move and at what speed. By setting stop loss you will save yourself from losing money.

This type of situation also people had lots of opportunity to make money in this field, so the bearish market will not be a problem for long term investors and traders the problem is only for daily money making people so I think they are struggling lots but still now we can make money and profit in Crypto market right now.

And the more reason to be extremely careful to bear with the market as it is now. If support has totally collapsed , that also means resistance will be difficult to find (at least for now) and that also means market is on it own.

To me bear is a bigger risk than buy.

[ginobitcoiner]

all you have to do is invest more, in this bearish market condition it would be better if we add investment to some of the coins that occur so that when the bull run occurs then our investment will continue to increase.

[Daboy_Lyle]

When the market is red the only thing to do is to Hold and you should be wise when you want to buy more because you're not sure if the market will recover in a short period of time because mostly market recovering will occur in a long period of time. Being wise when the market is bearish will make you get profits or will make you to avoid losses.

[merchantofzeny]

Unless trying to short, buying at this price range is still OK. I think that's what's good with holding for a longer period, there's more chances to recoup investments. Just don't buy during bull runs and you'll be OK.

it should be the moment for us to test our mental and faith in this market.maybe if we still have strong faith and dare to take risk by buying some coins i am sure in near future we will gain much profits.

No one can predict the bottom, thats why its recommended to buy in at different levels to average your buy in cost.  The old saying is that time in the market beats timing the market and I definitely agree with that.
