Bull Or Bear Market which is most preferable to you?

[Questat]

We may have different preferences between bullish and bearish market but what we fail to understand is that we can never witness a bearish market without a bullish market first or the vice versa. These two should never be separated because they come in the market to compliment with each other. Without bearish or a bullish market, the market itself will never experience a complete cycle which brought us some fears and panicking, and at the same time excitement and happiness.

I don't think that there's anybody here who only loves one of them because most including me loves both of them. I mean there's an opportunity for both bull and bear market after all. In a bear market, you buy. In a bull market, you sell your holdings.

If I would go pick one, I'd go with the bull because seeing your portfolio doubling or tripling is just satisfying if you're an investor. You will feel that the patience of holding those assets is finally be rewarded. Bear market is good as well because it gives us opportunity to buy more tokens and hold it for a long time.

You've already indirectly answered yourself by saying that (there are some investors who are panicking when the bear market happens hence, they sell their tokens at a loss thinking that their losses would balloon if they will hold it) so that alone should tell you that their are still some newbies here that would still panic sell despite coming across threads about holding.
 What I understand is that holding is a personal decision and it requires self control and discipline, it doesn't really matter whether the investor is a newbie or not some investors are easily influenced by market volatility and would rush to sell over any drop in the market.
 Well, I've seen that majority loves the bull season cause to be honest everyone loves to see the coins they're holding in their portfolio add lots in value and at that point the best step after reaping what you've sowed is to take profits and wait for another good entry to accumulate more.

Unless you are thinking today I have all the Bitcoin I will ever need why are you wanting the price to rise.   People who buy and own their dream home then dont mind the price rising as they might sell in retirement maybe but anyone who still wants to buy some BTC should be hoping for some bearish movement in BTC.

Back in the spring I was hoping for a sensible pullback, it needs to happen even if people didnt want it.  Mostly it helps to involve more people, a price that jumps up over night does not involve everyone and it has to be taken as unstable.   BTC already has giant volatility to it, so this whole process of back and forth is a requirement and a positive.   Even if the price lowers, be glad some are buying and its a good thing longer term.

I like both bull and bear market, and I effectively utilize both market conditions. During bull market I often rely much on day trading or swing trading but when bear market starts then I give more priority to investing so I can get better results in long time. For me bull market has been quite useful as it's my daily driver and I enjoy it but similarly bear market is also quite good.

This is clear on its own and Shouldn’t even have been a question, Everyone loves the bull season and only a few loves the bearish season and even those who love the bearish season do not want it to last long. The bull season presents many things like it is season in which even new projects are developed or the advocacy of bitcoin and cryptocurrency is easy to pass on and it is a period appreciated by all, but a bearish season is only appreciated by the experience investors and even then it is the ones with more funds to buy that appreciate it.

Ironically you cannot love one and detest one, the best thing is to learn how to live between the two seasons and see when to take full advantage of each season.

If you have good grasp in this market, you can take advantage of both seasons. During bear season, you can accumulate valuable coins, which has good potential of increasing its value when bull season comes. As no one can predict when will such period happen, you are just gauging your options which will best give you the profitability when you decide to sell-off.

If you are long enough on this market, you already know what to do. At the end of the day, remember, it is your decision to take part in this market. So one is to blame if your targets are missing. But if you are winning, definitely, you will reap the rewards.

 Well, that doesn't imply to those set of people alone cause whales still accumulate more in the bear market despite having more than enough in their portfolio, however their are others who pray for the bull market so they'll take profits, mostly those who invest on Alts, Memecoins or shitcoins, so what I understand is that the bear market is very important because it gives every class of investors an opportuniy to accumulate as much as possible while the Bull market is mostly important for those who wants to take profits, so that got me curious to know which people in this forum really like, is it the Bull or Bear market?

As a trader, I really don't mind if we are in a bull or bear market because you can make profits even if it's a bear market.
We can't ignore the bear market, it's part of the cycle of the market.

This is the biggest challenge for every traders that they must become flexible in any market condition, bear or bull because it will help you to become profitable trader and will help you to preserve your capital, it's not always a bull market and not always a bear market.

[JeffBrad12]

both works wonder if you are seasoned trader, in bullrun cycle, at least the early phase, you can open long position and profit literally off anything, if there's sudden retracement, just reopen long position and you will instantly make money, it's really easy to trade and invest in early phase of bullrun.

but if we are in bearish anyway, we can just short any coin that's near their ATH and make profit off it, big fat chance it will create new all time low for most of the new altcoins and getting 10x is easy, it's always riding trend that works best.

anyway if we are in late stage of bearish when the price action showing signs of breakout, we need to start accumulating.

[ethereumhunter]

Bull market means we can take profit but that will only if we have the coin that increase. If you don't have that coin, you will not get the profit and wait for your turn to take profit. While Bear market means we can buy many potential coins that we predict will increase in the next bull market. But with many coins list in the market will make us confuse to choose because every coin will have their chance to increase so that will make us to be careful to analyze and choose the coin.

Both Bull and Bear market will give benefit to us if we can use it properly. That is why we must learn how to analyze with right so we can determine which coin that we could buy and which coin that we can give more portion. In this matter, Bitcoin will deserve to buy more while the price is at the low price.

Well we do like the 'bear market' it does give us a time to buy some cheap coins. Buying the dip is a thing that I do look forward to having chance to do.
The 'bull market' is more exciting for us. It is when we are making some money and watching gains in our crypto portfolio. But if I do want to stack some cheap sats I will wait for the dip or a 'bear market'.

is it the Bull or Bear market?

The most important thing in the world of trading and investing is favourable market conditions and not a Bull or a Bear market, both conditions are often greeted with some bad and good market conditions which eventually determine the earnings and experience of the trader/investor. However, if you are a trader, you do not need to have any preference, you get to make your money regardless of whether the market is selling or buying. But you can't say that of an investor, investors will always want a bull market because they actually purchase the asset, there is no earning when it falls in value but losses for them.

[Majestic-milf]

In a word everyone prefers bull market but I think if a person is a cryptocurrency expert then he must like both bull market and bear market. The reason being myself, the bear market starts as the current bear market has many good coins that have come in around 50% to 60 percent down and is the perfect time to invest. Only those who are professional traders can use this time. They always run according to their research though sometimes it takes a while to recharge which is normal anyway. I think that in bear market projects which are very good and should be retired from those projects should be invested and in bull market it is possible to make great profit. In a word, both bull market and bear market should be preferred.

I agree with your take. An expert will appreciate both markets because they both are times to take advantage and make gain. Although some will prefer the bull season more because it's a period you get to experience high turnover rate for your investment. Imagine starting with $100 when price is at $54,784 and it shoots up to say $60k, you are making a huge profit but if price keeps going down from when you started investing, the zeal to purchase more won't be there.

Both the Bull and Bear Market are very important in the world of cryptocurrency, I recently learnt that for one to thrive in the market, you got to love both markets. Though they're both very important but different people got their most preferred/favourable market, those who don't have much in their portfolio and are yet to accumulate more love the bear market and constantly hope it occurs so they'll see an opportunity to accumulate as much as possible.
 Well, that doesn't imply to those set of people alone cause whales still accumulate more in the bear market despite having more than enough in their portfolio, however their are others who pray for the bull market so they'll take profits, mostly those who invest on Alts, Memecoins or shitcoins, so what I understand is that the bear market is very important because it gives every class of investors an opportuniy to accumulate as much as possible while the Bull market is mostly important for those who wants to take profits, so that got me curious to know which people in this forum really like, is it the Bull or Bear market?

As we all know the two phase of crypto market you mentioned are very significant and there is no way crypto enthusiasts won't like the two though because of the role both play in keeping cryptocurrency in the spotlight, the bear market is known to be the downtrend of bitcoin and cryptocurrency in genaeral and it is also said to be the best time to buy in lump sum since the price of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies at this time is low it gives investors the opportunity to buy as much as they can but it is not actauliy the only time to buy exepcially for people that are using DCA method in buying, As an investor that use DCA method you buy at little consistently at all time without minding the price however it all depends on the person and what he or she wants because i understand people choose the buyimg strategy that favours them as such they shouldn't be questioned for that reason hence the decision is personal.

The Bull market is actually the uptrend of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrency, it is the profitable season when people that has enough Bitcoin in their portfolio will experience the profit from the investment they have been involved in, it is also an excitement period depending on the amount and individual has accumulated so far, in conclusion both phase in the crypto market are very essential and they play pivotal role in keeping the cryptocurrency market intact.

Taking advantage of bearish market conditions to continue adding assets to invest in the future is quite effective and until now I have continued to do so because I believe in a much higher Bitcoin price in the future.
However, taking advantage of bullish markets for daily trading as you said I think is quite risky, it is better to implement a plan from the start if you want to get the targeted profit or free it up for long-term investment.

So far I am still happy to see bearish prices, I want to continue to add more to my assets by buying slowly as much as I can or when I have more money (I usually do it every week).
So I think it will be much better for the future.

 Both have important situations, and this should be the condition or circumstances of each that require, when the market is bearish they will continue to buy and of course what will be expected is a bull market, and the opposite situation will also be needed when the bull occurs they will want a little bear market that aims for them to collect it. they will continue to prioritize the bull market to maintain the profits that will be obtained once they have gone through a bear market that lasts long enough.

The people in this forum also have a similar mindset with investors and whales who already have more assets at this time, because the desire to see a bear market in a certain time is only expected by people who have not bought more assets or by those who want to increase their assets to a larger amount. So it is just the best hope for them even though they also do not expect it to happen in the long term because after buying certain assets in large quantities will also expect a greater increase in price in a fairly short time.

While people who hope for a bull market are people who have been patient for a long time with a number of assets that they already have and will not want to let go of those assets at a fairly low price. So when you see there is more demand than supply in the market, of course the price of any asset will increase more easily than decrease and that always needs to be known by every trader and also by every investor at any time. Because any investor also does not want to take the wrong step when they want to buy and sell their assets again into the market.

I don't think there's any bitcoin holder that prefers a bear market. Everybody that's holding bitcoin, be it for the short term or long term wants their bitcoin to grow so they can make more profit, that cannot happen in a bear market.
What people do during the bear market is take advantage of it. Since your investments are already dropping, why not accumulate more at a cheaper rate and stand to make more profit? There's a difference between liking something and taking advantage of it. If asked which they will prefer I'm sure every investor will prefer the bull season. After all, what's the point of investing if you can't make profit?

[Dr.Bitcoin_Strange]

There are two types of crypto enthusiast, the trader and the investor. Traders make profit from every season of the market (they are in profit during bull and bear market) while invest make most of their profit during a bull market. Investors uses the bear season as an opportunity to accumulate a lot of different coins and tokens that they believe will earn them profit during bull season and after investing, they wait for the bull market to come. Traders looks for a good buy or sell position and they immediately enter the position when they see it to be favourable.

I do make profit from both market season.

[kro55]

The market cannot exist without bulls or bears and we cannot make profits if the market lacks either one, so I think what we want most depends on the moment. For example, if people have accumulated enough bitcoins in the bear market, the only thing they want now is a bull market to take profit. On the contrary, those who have not accumulated much bitcoin will not like the bulls coming at this time.

But most people are investing based on market cycles (4 years) so I believe most people are expecting a bull market more than ever. I don't think anyone is waiting for a bear market at this point.

[mirakal]

Every market situation that appears, whether it is bull season or bear season, all has opportunities. 
 - Bull season is a time for selling
 - Bear season is a time for buying

If we are into investing bitcoin, we therefore know how to interact in the current situation. Besides, we can never assume that the market is always bearish or bullish. The situation has given us the opportunity, and I believe that is all that we wanted. We are very thankful that we have this volatility because of this, we make money from here.
