Bull Or Bear Market which is most preferable to you?

[aoluain]

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. 

Thats it!

The thing is though that one follows the other Bull → Bear → Bull and its with all markets
but most amplified in Bitcoin and Crypto. I dont have a preference but the unfortunate
thing is there are times I need to liquidate Bitcoin in a Bear market and times I wish I had
more FIAT to put in during a Bear market when buying the dips!

We cannot control the day to day market movements.

In normal sense is good for someone to understand the one that is bearish and the one that's bullrun, because sometimes some of the investors especially the new ones can't to differentiate them, but is good for someone to understand the both effects, but in normal norms both of the is advantageous in cryptocurrency marketing, theirs people who benefits during the bullrun and some people who benefits during bearish season, during bearish season many people like to invest in bitcoin against when the price will increase in the market, and bearish season always be a prayer to someone who wants to invest mage in bitcoin, because it expectations will be to invest when the price is low and sell when the price increases

[Mpamaegbu]

Serial investors will prefer bear season as that's when they play their cards of accumulating from paper hands. This may not be so for those on the other side of the divide who've the mindset that crypto is a shortcut to riches. Anyway, cryptos isn't. It's just an industry with so much unpredictability seeking escape for expression. Many have been lucky to enjoy that but there's no certainty to it that every investment in cryptos should turn a winner.

For me, I like a blend of both bear and bull at their expected time. As it's right, no matter any level of dump the market takes right now I'm not perturbed because I know it's not the time for the bear. If anything, it should energize me to DCA on my favourite projects. So, both bear and bull are necessary. We shouldn't see one as an omen.

Bear market definitely works the best for me because it's the time when I can buy as much as I can. Bull period will happen anyways, there is no doubt in my mind that we are going to see a bull period, there is no reason to think that it will not happen so I have nothing to worry about and I am fine with it. What I think is the most important part is that I think it is going to be something that will take a while, we should consider this to be something that will take a while and we could probably make some money from it as well.

The reality is that we are going to see this growing differently and we could probably consider this as something that will be guaranteed. So bear market is the best time, I can wait for it to get better and I make as much money as I want to make during that time as well. The reality is that if we keep doing that, we should be doing fine and nobody should be worried, buy at bear and wait until bull and you profit easily.

 Agreed, the right assumption in choosing and seeing the situation that occurs in the market, People and Investors take advantage of the bearish season to continue buying, buying and buying to increase their assets with the right DCA and the right conditions, the bear season is very much liked by every investor because it has a fairly large opportunity in terms of Investment especially the long term.

And We also need the bull season to get back the benefits of the Investment results that have been passed during the Bearish season, both are indeed calculations that are very much needed and this situation will provide benefits in every season whatever happens.

I love Bull markets. Because whatever price I accumulate, I will see my portfolio continue to grow.

You must know there should be uptrend and downtrend although it is in bull market. Your portfolio won't be always growing, sometimes it may be decreasing. However, it will be quite safe as long as Bitcoin doesn't reach its ATH or its peak price. But if it is in the last year of bullish season, you must be careful. It will be bad if you buy its peak price and the price keeps decreasing after achieving its peak. The safest way to accumulate Bitcoin is in the first year of bullrun season.

By the way, why you don't focus on accumulating in bearish season? Is it not enough to accumulate in bear market?

And I can take gradual profits while slowly re-entering each time a correction occurs. because even in a bull market, corrections always occur. It's just that there are more ups than downs.

If you target for short term, this way can be quite effective. But again, it will be safe before Bitcoin reaches its peak. When Bitcoin reaches its peak, kindly changes your strategy.

Both season have their advantage and disadvantages. The bear season is an opportunity to buy at a very low price. It is a time to accumulate as much coin as possible. The challenge of this period is that selling might lead to losses. The bull run is a good time to sell and make a profit.

You're right. Bearish season is the time for accumulating Bitcoin, bullish season is the best time for taking profits. If we have no bearish and bullish season, there will be no significant gap of the prices. Unfortunately, not everyone understands this, some people just invest in Bitcoin without understanding the seasons (cycles).

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.

I like them both because they both have their benefits, there is no way I can say I love the bear market and then hate the bull market. Both of them need each other and that is how I love both of them. I can make use of each one to my advantages as I can buy more Bitcoin in the bear market and accumulate as many quantities that I can get and wait for the bull market to sell. Without the bear market, there is not going to be the bull market and the bull market needs to happen so we can sell to take profit and this causes the bear market to happen and this circle continuous in this way until when Bitcoin stop to exist. Liking only one part of the market means you do not understand the market yet because when you do, you will see how important the both sides of the market are.

more FIAT to put in during a Bear market when buying the dips!

We cannot control the day to day market movements.

Can always leverage the capital, I think 2-3x leverage is safe enough , after all, we'd be hardly liquidated, it's rare occurence to see BTC going down even deeper when we are in bearish anyway so leverage does make a lot of sense if we long from the very bottom, I personally did this and couldn't be more grateful .

but yeah nobody can control day to day market movement, so many people thinking they are different breed trying to bet on the daily price action ended up wrecked by the market.
market is always smarter than retailer heck sometime it's smarter than institutional investors with analyst made up of graduates from ivy league , as an average joe, definitely we don't have the upperhand so always prevent ourselves from trading on daily chart.

[asriloni]

so that got me curious to know which people in this forum really like, is it the Bull or Bear market?

It's simply, people who hold crypto prefers to see the bull, and people who hold cash prefer to see the bear.

But this doesn't really matter if you're futures players coz bull or bear will give you benefits.

Bull and Bear are parts of the market cycle. You can't get a definite answer about this. Everyone is in a different situation. For example, a crypto holder would prefer a bull market over a bear one, and vice versa.

[SamReomo]

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.

Well, if someone masters the market then all conditions of the market can give that trader some profits. I personally try my best to accumulate only good and valuable coins during the bear market as those coins have very high chance of going up when bear market ends. Sometimes even in bear market those coins can give 10% to 40% profit without much worries.

I guess everyone knows that the best coin that one can accumulate during bear market is the one and only Bitcoin because once the bear market ends the Bitcoin keeps going up and sometimes it goes up and create new ATH. Other than Bitcoin, all those coins that were created in early times of crypto market and are still on top 10 list. Those coins can also give some profits.

I am also quite confused with OP's question because obviously we cannot make a profit if the market lacks bulls or bears. As a smart investor, what we should do is to come up with the right strategy in each stage of the market, not compare and choose 1 of 2.

Honestly this never crossed my mind, what I thought was how to buy the most BTC during the bear season and find a way to take profit during the bull season. We need to remember that our goal is profit and liking or hating one part of the market will not bring us profit. I love this market and everything about it.

Yeah, they coexist together and we make money from both of them, if you care about just one of them then you are lost and you can't make money. If it was just a bull run, how could it be always going up *How could a market just can go up all the time without ever going down* That wouldn't happen, and if it was all bear market than sometime in the future it would hit zero and can't go down anymore.

So in order to be a health market, we have to have both bear and bull markets together and that's how we move forward. Unfortunately not a lot of people realize that and because of that they make a mistake. The ones who prefer bull market are the people who do not understand how the market works, you can't just have bull market itself, you have to have the bear with the bull. It's fine to have both, our aim should be buying when it's bear and selling when it's bull and keep doing that forever, if we keep doing that correctly then we will make a lot of money for sure.

Cryptocurrency bull and bear markets complement each other. If there was no bear market then there would be no bull market and similarly there is a bull market which is why the bear market exists. If an investor wants to profit from a bull market, he has to accumulate in a bear market. Investors tendency should be created to hold in the bear market as much as possible. Profiting from a bullish market must be difficult for those who ignore the bearish market or get embarrassed during this period. Everyone who is a whale investor tries to buy any asset at a low price in a bearish market in order to be profitable in a bullish market. Especially those who are in the market to make a profit, give priority to the bearish market rather than the bullish and will easily catch the profit during the bullish period.

Not all investors need a bearish season because some of the investors have also bought earlier and are waiting for the bullish season to come at this time. So that both conditions are only needed by investors who are different from their own conditions because some who are still quite happy with the bearish season are investors who previously did not have time to buy Bitcoin at a low price on the grounds that they did not have much funds to make purchases. But for those who have bought earlier, of course for now they are dreaming of a bigger bullish season in order to be able to feel the benefits that are much more than the capital they have used before in the investment sector.

We need to remember that our goal is profit and liking or hating one part of the market will not bring us profit. I love this market and everything about it.

My point too because choosing to like one side of the market and ignoring the other is not going to be a wise decision. People that have made the most profit from the market love both market conditions because they understood what they stand for differently and if our hands are tied that we have to choose one among the two conditions, it should be the bear market always that we should go for because that is when we can buy the most Bitcoin with a small quantity of our money. During the bull market, Bitcoin is going to go up so high that you might think it will never come down but it always does and that is when you should be buying. As Bitcoin gets lower that fear begins to circulating the market, starts buying because you can never catch the bottom and waiting for that might get you to miss buying.

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.

Not just quite effective but it is super effective. Now about the bull, taking advantage can also mean that we will only sell for profits. For those who don't want yet, and those who don't have any coins to sell, they can still buy during it. This is not wrong because it can still be a part of the strategy called DCA. Indeed that to have a plan is always a must. It is like our guide, so that we won't get lost in the vast world of cryptos (hehe).

I like the lowkey plan that you drop there by the way but this can only work for those who are versatile. We still can be able to pick up other coins in order to continue trading and the rest that doesn't meet our requirements of expectations, will be treated as an investment for a while. There are lots of coins in this market right now, so we will never ran out of options to choose from.

I want to continue to add more to my assets by buying slowly as much as I can

I find this very confusing, sorry. But it is also good if you want to buy slowly because you might still see a better opportunity than to what you currently see. You are right when you said that investing is better for the future. This is actually the purpose of it and it's better to allocate our money here than we will just use it on useless things.

[Natalim]

If you have been here for long and have understood well how the market behaves, you will realized that both bull and bear are essential in the market. You will never witness a volatile market and just experience all bears or all bulls, that's so impossible for such a market with high volatility.

Just learn to accept that bulls and bears co-exist with each other. Although we have different personal preferences but rest assured, these two could help a lot in meeting our dreams and goals in the crypto market.

[tabas]

We've got to love both of these market seasons. Bear markets are essential for the market to get balanced, and that's also the window period for us to start buying. It's a discouraging season of the market but if you have stayed here for a number of cycles, you'll get to see why it is being loved by the ones who are not good at reading daily trends or charts of the market but by zooming it out for years. But if it's about a personal choice, I'd say that I love the bullish season. And it gives that moment to sell at any pace by that time. Anyway, either of the two, we'll have to survive both of these cycles.

 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?

Totally depends on what kind of trader or investor you are on which on the time or moment that you do find yourself making money with an uptrend market then you would really be choosing this trend but if  you are someone who do really likes or wanting up to have that that kind of wanting bear market then it would really be also just depending on you on which this is the moment that the price is really that low and could make out some entry. If you are really that doing some futures trading then it would really be just that depending on you whether you would really be that going for long or short on which it will really be that basing up on the trend
basing up on the market movement and the positions that you are making. Just like been said that it will really be that totally basing on how well you do handle up yourself towards the market on which there would really be those individuals who dont want to take up some risks and that why they would really be just that wanting or preferring on holding for too long and would really be that liking on not to deal up with too much volatility.

Having something in your mind is ok, I do agree that both bull and bear are required to keep the market going and I believe that fully, but that doesn't mean that you can't like one more than the other.

I prefer the bear market period for example because I could get a lot more during that time, but that doesn't mean that I somehow hate bull period, of course I love that too, I know and am aware that we need both of them, so it is not really about anything like that, it's about the fact that I can see it growing to be better.

This is just a normal thing that we shouldn't be worried about, as long as we can make this work then we shouldn't have any type of worry at all. People are worrying way too much on these stuff, when in fact they should just consider it normal. When you focus too much on what is not said, then you miss what is said. When someone says they prefer bear, they are not saying they hate bull, do not try to find something out of what is not said.
