How do you trade a Bearish Market?

[A2zchains]

Hey guys, so I was just wondering after I saw some flyers of KCGI tournament on X, how do you trade the bearish market?

As a newbie, my first thought was sell, sell, sell... but trading in a trading competition will require buying and selling. Plus, traders won't be given demo accounts to blow. Plus, you need to own it before you sell it?

I believe I have a lot to learn though so I am using available resources to do that. However, How much skill is needed for trading competitions?

Investing is about buying. Whenever you buy at a suitable price, you will be able to sell with ease, but you are looking for trading and the trader wants to make a profit, regardless of the nature of the market, whether it is a bearish or bullish market.

Some traders will still go long position during bear market. It is riskier but that does not mean they can not use it to make money. You will see some traders that will go long during bull market but losing money because the person is entering the market at the wrong time and leaving the market at the wrong time.

As a newbie, my first thought was sell, sell, sell... but trading in a trading competition will require buying and selling. Plus, traders won't be given demo accounts to blow. Plus, you need to own it before you sell it?

If you do not have a coin to sell, then what will you sell? Answer this question yourself.

Excellent trading skills. Tournament means the best person to be selected as the winner.

Take profit in short term way when trading in bearish market, I don't think profitable when trading for long term target during market keep bearish and looks waiting for longer time to earn much profitable.
Currently right now on the bearish market and I have few percent target price reach up take profit without waiting longer time and have bigger target increasing price,
I don't think good ideas when bearish market have huge target taking profit because many time bearish potential with some coins get decreasing or not stable reach to higher price.

Think of how the competition would be in a bullish scenario, you buy, buy buy, buy...? 
There is no coin in any market that will keep going down or keep going up without a period of retracement, that's the moment when a trader sees the opportunity and changes his stance, there are plenty of moments when a coin going down also has serious up, for example just the other day Bitcoin went from 64k to 58 k and now to 61k, it's still down but you could have made a profit on the price swing.

Tournament means the best person to be selected as the winner.

Luckiest!

Trading is very risky because no one can predict the direction of the market and that is why you need to be careful if you want to buy and sell. If you can buy during the bear market and trade in the bull run, you will be profitable but if you want to buy this week and sell next week, who knows if you will be at lost. So buy when you have the money and wait for an increase in price before selling.

how do you trade the bearish market?

There are trading opportunities even in the bear market, and only very skilled traders are able to identify these positions and opportunities and take advantage of them. On smaller timeframes, you should be able to identify buy positions even though the market is bearish on higher timeframes.

However, How much skill is needed for trading competitions?

Don't engage in a trading competition if you know that you are not skilled enough for it; you could put yourself in a bad psychological position.

Of course trading is very risky especially in times like these because we all know that we are in a bearish market and the chances of making profits is very little, so for someone who is not knowledgeable at all should not take the risk because he could end up losing his investment because one thing I understand about bearish market is the high volatility were as the market can surprise you at any moment.

So perhaps just like you advise in a bearish market like this the best way is to only buy and wait for the bull Run to start so that you can make your profit because that's the only way profit will be guarantee, though there are people making a lot of money even when the market is still like this but those are the experience traders.

the swing traders are just selling their coins and wait til the market hit the bottom. nothing special to do unless the market reacts insanely though. the last bull run in 2021 did insane bounce again to breaking the ATH. it was just sort of a bear trap but eventually the bears win. this kind of insane movement may frequently happen later because the big whales are simply enjoying to make users panic.

if you can wait for the market to dip to its bottom then sell and wait.  a newbie's strategy doesn't change even when they experienced several bull run already. as long as it works or them, that strategy will be the preferred.

Bearishness does not mean that price fluctuations have stopped, traders will always see opportunities in every market condition, especially in the futures market. There is general trading advice that you should not use all your stable assets to trade in one season, because market conditions can suddenly change significantly and possibly for a long time.
The spot market is more about planning trades in the longer term, so that under certain conditions you have reserve funds to continue trading without realizing losses from the previous portfolio.

This is the truth. Even in normal competition, the winner may not be the best but just lucky. Who emerges as the winner may not be the best, just that the person is the luckiest. Also that traindg is as risky as gambling.

traders will always see opportunities in every market condition, especially in the futures market. There is general trading advice that you should not use all your stable assets to trade in one season, because market conditions can suddenly change significantly and possibly for a long time.

On most exchanges, only stable coins like USDT and USDC can be used to trade in the future market but there are some exchanges that make traders to trade with some of the unstable coins, or with the ones with good highest marketcap like bitcoin.

In deed... There are those who monitor the trends and always cash out on the bravery of those who want to buy the dip.

The winner of the competition is about to announced on YouTube live

I hope there would be some analysts showing how they managed to do it with the down trend and volatility

There are trading opportunities even in the bear market, and only very skilled traders are able to identify these positions and opportunities and take advantage of them. On smaller timeframes, you should be able to identify buy positions even though the market is bearish on higher timeframes.

Everyone is not able to take profit from trading during bear season because the prices are already very low and there is a chance that price will go more down so there is a probability that a person can lose a huge sum while trading during bear season. During bear season we should stop trading if we are not experts but we will be there in crypto through investment in bear season and wait until this investment grows during bull season.

Don't engage in a trading competition if you know that you are not skilled enough for it; you could put yourself in a bad psychological position.

If a person is not familiar with trading then trading will make him poor instead of making him wealthy therefore if you don't have any command and control on your decision due to lack of experience and learning then don't trade because if a person trades without knowing the reality then he puts himself in trouble the outcomes of which will be a big loss.
