Just how bad is the bear market right now?

The 'Bear Market' is really bad right now sad to admit.  We have seen the price of Bitcoin between 16k and 18k for some time now.  It is still very uncertain when this 'Bear Market' will end but some people think the Bull Market will start early 2023 and this something I want to believe is going to happen.

When the price was 18k I saw many people talk about how we have hit the rock bottom in Bitcoin price and it can only go up from here. Soon after that the price went back down to 16,500 so at this point we really do not know when it will end.

Historically low prices have endured for a longer period of time in the present bear market cycle than in any other.

This bear market is so bad for short term and long term users especially for those whose first entry was above 50k . DCA is best option but I think if someone start DCA from 50k now fund will be also zero. I have sold all my tokens before December and now feeling very cool. I think we can see BTC Below 12k which will be another blow For Holders.

It is bad for those who purchase near ATH. But I believe it isn't that bad if we talk long term since most of us believe that BTC will surpass it's all time high next bull market. The only consequence of those who bought at higher price and doing long term is the bigger profit opportunity they can achieve when bitcoin finally surpass it's ATH. I also don't think that it is a bad thing for holders that bitcoin will take another dip especially if the holder is accumulating, A long term holder wouldn't mind their asset value for now if they plan on holding it for a long time. Prices are expected to go down at bear market and big dips are expected that's why I will not be shock if the market still go down.

Bitcoin price is at $16.8k at this time and it''s lower than what we had in early this December. That means the altcoin price is also going down reacting to this Bitcoin's price down. For people who have bought altcoin with high price in this early December, then would recommend to wait for a bit because the price would continue to fall considering the situation right now.

What you say is true, however most of those that bought their bitcoin for the first time near the all time high probably never had any intentions to hold their coins for so long and endure such difficult market conditions, they were most likely thinking about making some easy and quick money with bitcoin only for their expectations to be subverted, and if that is the case then it is going to be incredibly difficult for them to hold their coins, assuming they still have any bitcoin at all right now.

Not really, a bear market is a good opportunity for new investors to come in.  The current bear market isn't worse than the previous bear market we experienced.  As far as I can recall, they have the same thing, hacks, scams, company-turning fraud, and bankruptcy.  It is a normal thing in a bear market so I can say, the market is just as bad as the previous one and like the previous one, the market will eventually recover.

even though I think it could hardly fall again in regard of the price of bitcoin I think it indeed make sense just to wait until the situation gets somewhat better, considering the fact that there's still so many things that could make the current downtrend worse like many lays off and also the economic crisis I think honestly it's wiser to just invest in the next year but of course if you have the money doing accumulation in this current trend could score tremendous returns.

These bear markets are basically for clearing the market from the useless stuff. I mean during the bull run there is a good chance that we end up with a thousand coins that people invest into, and they are usually shitcoins and scams as well and people fall for it. While bitcoin and the likes go up, there is a chance that all  others end up going up too.

We can see and consider this. After this bearish market, we will know which altcoins can survive and continue their projects very well and which will be dead soon. After the hype that may happen in some altcoins, most of them commonly will fall down and cannot survive during this dramatic bearish era. Moreover, during this bearish era, there are so many FUD that we can get. The FUD is much higher than previously, moreover after the worst happening on Luna and FTX, this really becomes a warning for us. Investing in altcoin is very risky high risk.  Many projects always promise they are the best projects with the best concept, but, they are not able to survive during this bearish market

Every body before investing need to educate himself on the 4 year cycle that works around the bitcoin halving. And a little advice buy low and sell high but yes, it’s almost time to buy. I believe ETH will drop slightly under $1000 but you never now. Do your own research and don’t believe on YouTube because I’m certain 95% of them are just guessing.

everybody knows the cycle but the thing is, no one knows if the market gonna goes even lower or make a comeback, of course holding coins in general could save us from the headache of guessing the right time when the market gonna be changing in trend and runs towards bullish but that's only if you are patience enough and have the money to spare otherwise that would be such bad choice, but I do agree though, there's always cycle that affects the market every certain periods of time, and therefore everybody should know beforehand that in every bullrun there's always massive dumps waiting in the future.

People are much focused on the four year cycle and for the same reason many keep hold with patience. This is the time we will be able to hear about more negative news around the market as well as Whales trying to create panic move to benefit out of the small holders. Entire economy is in its downturn and the same have made people focus on saving more as we don't know what happens tomorrow.

[Ahli38]

if only the inflation and economic crisis had not hit the whole country, in fact the current bear market should not be so bad as it is now.

Well now all investment markets not just crypto are all experiencing pretty dire bear markets. But I believe market conditions in 2023-2024 will improve. because fud continues to scatter at the end of the current year. it shows someone is trying to lower the price because he is shopping. and by the time they're done shopping we have to get ready for the bull market to come. Good news has also started to emerge, such as Brazil which has passed a bill on crypto in their country. and the President of Brazil has signed it. the market should recover. But of course we have to be careful. because many analysts say that bitcoin has the potential for further decline. and of course it will have a very bad impact on altcoins. Dyor

The bear is not really bad if we can understand the market right now. We are all waiting for Bitcoin to take a bold move so that the rest altcoins will take a bold move too. Once the market keep going bullish other altcoins too will move upward and everything will keep going up. I am very positive about the market right now because this is the time to buy and accumulate.

the problem is who can understand the market for now? in normal situations it is very difficult to read market movements, especially in current market conditions. you need to know in the real world or in crypto a raging bear is much more terrible than a raging bull. So please don't say very common words like that because they don't help in the current situation.

I think it's not really that bad, it has been holding off very well all things considered and I believe that it should go on like that for a while longer. I am not saying that it is going to end up with a higher price right away, but I am not expecting it to do greatly in the long run neither.

It should be something that is stable for a while, and to think that we have been between 15k to 25k for the past 8 or so months, I can say that it has been quite stable compared to past. People claim bitcoin is volatile, but considering the range it had for the past 8 months, plenty of investments, including stocks, had the same sort of range as bitcoin during the same period.

If you have seen the previous market cycle, you would know how to take advantage of the bearish season. It's actually an open opportunity for everyone who wants to buy and accumulate potential coins at a cheaper price which is good preparation for the bullish season. If you'll panic and fear the bearish season, you will surely make the wrong decision of selling at the wrong time. This usually happens but as long as you are holding huge potential coins, it's best to hold and wait for the market to recover again.

That is what bear markets are, during bull markets even the craziest and most useless ideas and projects get millions of dollars of support as people are desperate to invest in anything that may have even a remote possibility of making them a fortune, but once this sentiment goes too far a correction is needed, and when FUD takes over the market we begin to see the new money drying out and the bad projects presenting problems to keep themselves in business, it is a natural process and for a patient investor this is a good thing as it allows them to get bitcoin for a reasonable price once again.

The market is mostly moving sideways and waiting for a big enough movement to start the panic sell/buy to happen. Obviously predicting the market movements is only 50% correct but judging by the trend, it is bearish. There are a lot of reasons why the bear market for prolonged but we should look at the bright side of these things. You have a good opportunity to buy at this point as compared to what price was near all time high.

You could also have run out of liquid cash to buy bitcoin, in which case just stop buying and wait for the next bigger movement to happen, which will happen surely, but not immediately.

It seems that after so many different difficult events the market has finally become stable again, so this is a good opportunity to buy bitcoin, however if someone is looking to buy at an even lower price I think they will have an opportunity to do so as it will be very difficult for the market to not experiment at least another drop during the remaining time of this bear market, however it is difficult to know when and how long it will last so it is important to have that money ready and purchase bitcoin as quickly as possible once that drop happens.

Bearish season may be a nightmare for those people who failed to sell their coins in the previous bullrun season. But for other people, bearish season means the best time to buy coins. If there is no bearish season, we can't buy crypto coins at cheap prices. Can you imagine if no bearish season? Crypto coins may never drop their prices significantly.

I have sold all my tokens before December and now feeling very cool. I think we can see BTC Below 12k which will be another blow For Holders.

It is your own right to sell or hold your coins. But I prefer to hold if the price has already dropped too significantly. I even still hold my BTC, I don't plan to sell although it dropped below $10k.

[n0ne]

Bearish trend is part of the market movement. For this reason whether the market is bullish or bearish, just enjoy it. Every bear market is followed by a bull market. It is a must to enjoy the market movements and try to make an earning out of the volatile market unlike the market trend. Patience is the only key required to enjoy the outcome of the bear market, which is the the beginning of bull market.

It may not be the worst time yet, I think there will be another event that completely destroys confidence, otherwise the market will not have the flexibility to go up.
