Riding the storm of bear market

[r_victory]

Panic can lead you to make decisions you'll regret. For many, this is the time to buy, to pack your bags, as they say. And I believe this is a positive outlook; it can actually become an opportunity for significant profit. It's a great time to monitor the market and invest; many successful investors have this mindset. Use it with caution!

Short term investors are those supposed to be worried about Bitcoin short price movement, as a long term investor it is necessary to consider the market in a very long manner that will require taking advantage of all price changes happening in the market. Bear markets are essential with the advantage to buy more Bitcoin at a cheaper price, considering the bear market as an opportunity investors are meant to take every part seriously using the right approach.

It wouldn't be new for BTC holders for a couple of years to experience bear market(a period of fall in price of Bitcoin , for an unusually short/mid-term period) A period of panic where rational decisions must be taken. If a bear market is inevitable, it has to be handled intricately... No panicking!

Not everyone that usually panic during the bear market especially those that understand bitcoin how things work here. Many sees it as an opportunity to buy more coin at cheaper price rates making use of any convenient strategy (dcaing, lump sum ).

We are going to experience the bear market, usually after the bull market . But I still believe the bull market ain’t over yet there are still sign of bull market in the market .

No need to panic. But if we have observed the last 2022 bear market, it was different. People don't really talk about it as if there were no bear market. The price fell by around $16k from $69k 2021 bull run, but it didn't happen in 2022, but in 2023. So, there could be some changes every bear market that we deal with. Those who have been here for so long have been used to it and will start stacking sats when the price becomes lower. There is no room for panickin and grieving because that's just a full waste of time if they don't do any actions at all.

Bear and Bullish seasons are both phases of the market that cannot be diverted, it is compulsory to experience both. Older investors with bear season experience won't see the season as storm rather full of opportunities to buy more at a lower price.

There is a logical way for holders not being driven by the storm, instead of only holding what is gathered in portfolio, acquiring more portions whenever the price dips or simply arrange a strategy to keep investing, accumulating during the bear season helps build tolerance knowing whenever the bullish seasons begins there will be share of greater profits.

Someone who is new in Bitcoin or cryptocurrency will you see a bearish season as the World season so far but not knowing that both the bearish and bullish season has advantages and disadvantages, there are people who profit when the price of Bitcoin is being drastically reduced and there are some people who also profit from bitcoin when the price increases based on they have been holding bitcoin for long term and it's their opportunities to sell

So in every period of Bitcoin it has a people that profit from it and also have a people that also lost from it, so that is why I have to let some of us who is a novice in Bitcoin investment to know that there is some people that the bearish does not affect most especially and experience investor does not been affected by a bearish season, well someone who does not have the knowledge or Bitcoin especially meant to buy and went to sell seems bearish as deadline of bitcoin and they began to panic.

But I still believe the bull market ain’t over yet there are still sign of bull market in the market .

What are the signs that the bull market is not over yet?

I also hope and don't want the bull season to end but to be fair, we will never know when the bull season will end and the bear season will come. The market does not follow a fixed pattern and there is no guarantee that history will always repeat itself exactly as each cycle has a different impact. The market is unpredictable, and we only really know bear season has arrived when we have been in bear season for a while.

There is no rule that requires Bitcoin to reach 150,000 dollars before the bear market arrives, or that the bull market only ends when the year ends. Therefore, as smart investor, we must always have a plan for 2 scenarios, not be subjective or overly optimistic.

Upcoming bearish market is what sometime bother me in this cycle. Not because the possibility of large dump but more of whether it will happen or not.
In this world where everybody is investing in bitcoin, from ETF, institutional, to pension fund and there's many things about to get their capital flow to bitcoin.
I have a shred of doubt that bearish cycle might not be happening but I can 100% be mistaken about this. I doubt something like mt.gox, ftx, or something like that can happen again but the chance is never zero.

Therefore I bet if there's bearish cycle, it will be a weak bearish.

I have seen some people have hold their bitcoin since 2015 until now those people can became an the millionare because they can gets the advantages of holding bitcoin for long term and the interested fact is those people only sell small part of bitcoin but they have no plan to sell all of their bitcoin although the current bitcoin prices is very high and they have simple reason because they have faith to bitcoin and believe bitcoin prices not stopped and still possible to reach higher prices

I think those who panic when facing bear market only dominated by new people who just invest their money to bitcoin but there are some people has strong mentality that because during hold bitcoin they have faced up storm bear market several times and didn't panic and i think those who involved to cryptocurrencies world for years has been learn about their mistakes that they didn't sell the bitcoin during bear market even they added more bitcoin into their portfolio because they were very sure after bear market there will be a bull market happened

[STT]

Not even close to a bear market but its fair to consider as always possible.  This is a pullback within a bull market and thats a time to stay bullish and ideally add more if you can with  that knowledge of a wider positive market.

In 'normal'  markets a bear market is a drop of 20% or more but in crypto that would be too slight to qualify and it'd be like a bad smoke alarm always going off to no good end, a false signal.
    At least use a 50 week and also the very long term 200 week moving averages, if both are in decline and this is consistent then its hard to say the market will fight that underlying trend; at present the opposite is true and much positive momentum is occurring.

For those who just started buying Bitcoin this year, planning to hold the Bitcoin owned should still be very far away. There is no reason to panic if a bear market situation comes. What should be seen is the opportunity to gain greater profits in the future by buying at a discount during a bear market.
For beginners who are facing a bear market for the first time, there may be concerns. But for those who are knowledgeable, I think they must have already made a good plan even when the market situation is bad.

It is very difficult to control your emotions during the times the prices are correcting even in the bull phases. A mere 10 to 20 percent downward movement in bitcoin may panic many holders who wanted to exit at the bull market top.

During such times, a lot of things comes into the mind that the bitcoin bull market is over or we are near that stage or maybe price is making lower high and never make another all time high. All these things creates a lot of doubts in the mind of investors and only those who are firm holders can survive this testing time.

I think the difficulty in actually been able to control your emotions depends on your investing ethics, for example if you invest with an amount you don’t think you can lose like borrowed funds or other money meant for very important household purposes and you invest to actually make short term profit then you can simply be frustrated once the market is going down even for a little amount they easily panic.

Long term investors or those already familiar with the bitcoin market will definitely not panic, it is usually all about planning out your investment plan well, it always advisable to go for a very long term holding strategy and invest gradually with a discretionary amount, for example someone who had invest since last three years ago wouldn’t be fazed out with Little dips like this, old investors are usually aware of this dips as corrections

[_BlackStar]

Investment advice is needed by those just starting out - especially those who are still mentally unstable. Long-term investors aren't affected by short- or medium-term price volatility - instead, they tend to accumulate and build stronger portfolios. Beginner investors tend to lose their way when the market turns bearish for a short period - so they're the ones who really need advice, rather than experienced investors.

Panic can literally drive beginners to sell all their assets for fear of losing more value from their investments - but if they're patient and know what to do, they can expect better returns soon. Price volatility is inevitable - sometimes high and sometimes low, but potential returns are always possible if they accumulate at varying prices.

That's true. Price corrections or dips are normal in the volatile crypto market, and actualy such drops should be seen as an opportunity to add to your portfolio. Experienced investors won't panic and sell all their assets, they have seen countless times that a bullish season will eventually arrive. All that's needed is patience, and that is the key to making a profit.

I agree with you, that's the reality. The market is between two cycles and investors will experience both at different times. Bullish and bearish are two market cycles that everyone takes advantage of, earning returns and experiencing losses in between. Anyone who can capitalize on the cycles will profit, regardless of whether they are a beginner or an experienced investor. Experienced investors can certainly manage things wisely, not panic when faced with changing market situations, most of them will certainly accumulate.

There will always be two seasons of a crypto market, that’s bullish and bearish. So if we are currently in bullish market, expect that it will be replace by a bearish market soon, or the vice versa. The only key here, know how to ride with each market condition, so that you can guarantee long term stay in this volatile market.

If you can ride a bearish market, then you’ll be good in a bullish market as well. But if you struggle already in controlling your emotions in time of bearish, the more you need to thrive hard when you are already seeing the market in bullish.

[Coyster]

It is easier said than done, at least for a lot of people. People who are weak hands will definitely panic, newcomers will also panic and most of them will sell their bitcoins in a bear market, with a plan of buying back when the price starts appreciating again.

That said, everyone has a right to sell their coins when they want to, but i think rather than selling in a bear market, it is better to work with a strategy and have a target. Thus, if your target is met during the bull market, you can withdraw some of your coins and leave the rest of it through the next cycle. It is better to have a strategy than for your strategy to be selling anytime there is a dip in price.

[STT]

I tried to give advice during the pandemic sell off on this kind of pressure to BTC holders.  Some people have seen so many sell offs and apparent end of BTC events, China banning BTC or whatever news appears that seems to say surely its time to sell your BTC.  
  The best thing you an do on this forum is go visit some of the oldest topics, oldest sections of the forum where many forum accounts have experience and held BTC through gigantic sell offs.   What are they are saying now, what's their sentiment and attitude to current events, etc.  

There's maybe two prices for all assets but certainly in BTC this is true, the very highest prices contain froth and just the wind will blow the top off the very highest prices there is little substance there and you should be ready for that its bound to happen.

   Also BTC has a strong core long term and momentum to its pricing and that price is much lower but after all these years still comparatively high; BTC gained a ton over the years.
   Don't just follow the highest prices or if you do at least look at highs each month not every other minute because that's just noise and highly erratic movement.   Use candlesticks not line graphs, closing price needs to set over time to be a solid price with volume not just a sticker price / label.

This is the main reason why it is always good for a newbie to have a basic knowledge of bitcoin investment before they can be able to start accumulating. Having a basic knowledge of bitcoin would definitely make a newbie not to panic and make impulsive decisions as a result of market correction. I believe there will always be bear market as long as there is bull run so a good understanding of the nature of bitcoin will definitely make an investor not to panic whenever there is a bear market but rather they will see it as an opportunity to acquire more bitcoin.

[Potato Chips]

Unfortunately, a good number of people will always panic. For instance, every bull run, there are always people who just got into bitcoin because of hype and whatnot—pretty much those who do not fully know what they're doing. Those type of people are likely to paper hands, sadly.

We can't control people, thus we just gotta make sure it doesn't happen to ourself. The bear will come surely but so does the bull. Think wisely.

There will be a Bitcoin bear market it is not just about Bitcoin you will invest in anything in every where you have to continue your investment through the rise and fall of its price. Now the most important thing is what you should actually do in a bear market. Panicked investors cannot afford long term investments they have to be patient for long term investments. Bear markets are inevitable, that is why you should be mentally prepared and have an emergency fund for long term Bitcoin investments. In the case of Bitcoin it is not complicated to manage you have to apply simple investment strategies.

You should try to gain basic knowledge on how to accumulation Bitcoin through discretionary income. The most effective way to accumulate Bitcoin is through dollar cost averaging (DCA) method. Don't panic buy regularly and manage it for the long term through discretionary funds.
