Are we about to enter a the bear cycle?

[Vx1]

It's unfortunate that all Bitcoin discussions turn into Trump and I remember that the same thing happened 4 years ago with Elon Musk and before that with John McAfee and other names that are added with every discussion. As long as the price maintains levels above $92k, we are still in the same price range and a quick price rebound means that I have a strong resistance level.

This kind of thing seems to happen often in the future, world figures involved in Cryptocurreny will be in the public eye. Not only that, if the store is involved in a crypto coin then it will definitely be hype and booming both among investors and crypto traders.

Do not conclude yet. We are not yet entering the bear market because there's still some things that needed to be done for this bull run. And one thing of it is to break the recent ATH that we have been. It may not that be much to think of but everyone is focusing on when it will break $120k - $150k anytime soon. If it don't happen, it only means that there's another cycle that we have to wait for that. Because if it does, we have to wait for another 4 years for it to happen.

Economically speaking, Wars, trade wars, Speculations(negative), Natural deserster, market supply from certain countries or individuals, circles( Bitcoin circle) etc has the capacity to affect market prices; whether stock, community, FX, Bitcoin etc.
In simple terms, a heavy supply of bitcoin entering into the market can cause a big dumps, the same situation happens to price if there is war out break, or trade wars between countries, just similar to the current economic trade war between the US and some countries.
You see, when there is war/trade wars, there is fear and uncertainty of the market prices, and because of these uncertainty, people start panic selling, there by causing serious markets dumps even as these wars escalates.
I will explain further on other factors if needed.

I can't agree more with you, these are some of the main reasons of why an asset or commodity must be losing value over time but from another point of view in war times people would want to move their funds into a assets or commodity which is easily portable and not damageable like BTC.

They might want to sell their Gold, money etc. to buy BTC because it can't be affected by one two or 10 wars even it can't be affected at all but only can lose its value but that would be temporary too.

By always monitoring the market we will find the gap because I see the same pattern Q1 is identical to a decline and Q2 the market will rise again. But tonight it looks like the market will act again because Jerome Powell will discuss the economic outlook and future monetary policy.

Seems like a good precedent to look after.
And we surely will see a big move upward in the future, not bearish at all.

Don't be fooled, my friend, because the current market is different from last year's cycle. I think it is very difficult for us to find a profit gap from the current market, there are many stories on Telegram that are trapped by the price.
Everyone's predictions will go up in price but I noticed that everything went down. Bitcoin went up a little but altcoins didn't go up and Bitcoin went down immediately, so the altcoins Dump was very far away, so don't be fooled, that's what I'm telling you.

We are going through a tough and challenging time in making decisions. I think investors should remember the current experience so as not to be overly optimistic or pessimistic when thinking about the market. Opportunities and risks always coexist, investing is always difficult at any time, not as easy as looking at historical prices.

Investors who believe will continue to buy & hold, while those who think the uptrend has ended should leave the market to avoid risks. The market needs both buyers and sellers, and there are always buyers and sellers

I belong to the group of investors who are currently profitable and continue to believe in the uptrend this year!

The tariff law I think wasn't yet imposed to the countries mentioned in OP which this price dips are probably just caused by the spread of fear about it. But indeed it already causes the fear to rise and prices are falling.

Been watching the news also but this tariff could really be making other countries impose their own tariff to all trading partners.
Experienced traders will not fear bear market anymore because this is not going OT be their first.

I'm not sure where I stand as regards this, but I'd like to know if we're at the beginning of a bearish cycle?

Checking on the price now we are still good Bitcoin stands at $97k is still good, drop is just 0.03 in the last 7 days and we are one big news away from the price to return.
I don't think we are going to go down past $85k; what's happening right now is something unexpected, as we expect the price to move up now that Trump is in office, but many of Trump's decisions have global negative feedback that has impacted many global issues like tariffs that can bring every market down unfortunately.

Yeah, it's just funny how the market moves in the last couple of days, it went as high as $98k and then I thought it will continue then it goes down hard at $94k and then I said to myself what is happening.

And now it's back to $97k, Lol, and I wouldn't be surprised if we see $98k before the end of this week. So it's really volatile and it seems that speculators and day traders are taking advantage of it and making some small profits along the way.

I don't think that we are in the early of bearish season. We should be still in the bullrun season until the end of this year. If we have some dumps recently, I'm sure it is just a correction. We need this before we jump to higher prices of crypto coins. There will be always dumps after some pumps, so it is not very surprising thing. I assume there should be still some pumps before we are going to bearish season. We even still have no altcoins season, how the bearish season starts now?

Fortunately you are in a position as an investor who makes a profit, I'm sure you learned from all this something about long-standing experience in the crypto space.
For me personally being in this crypto space I take it easy because I see that if this crypto is taken seriously then the results will be a burden.

Btw, If I may ask, do you hold altcoins?
If so, what altcoins do you hold in this crypto space?

What we see now is just a sideway movement, and it's totally alright. Time is what is needed, and some news to fall off like dominos to trigger the upward trend going further, pushing the market again.

The bear hasn't taken over yet maybe historical this month can be proven to be bearish, I like I know after this month we may likely see strong movement on the price, before we reached Q2 to end of Q3 there could be something positive towards the price, just that it's normal for a correction to take place.

By always monitoring the market we will find the gap because I see the same pattern Q1 is identical to a decline and Q2 the market will rise again. But tonight it looks like the market will act again because Jerome Powell will discuss the economic outlook and future monetary policy.

Hey what do you mean by Q1 is identical to Q2 which on a normal circumstance we haven't leave Q1 and if I am not mistakenly we still need about 30 to 40 days interval before the quarter finishes. To me I still believe that there could be changes in the market and 40 days is extremely enough for something to change within the market. So, what I observed is that if this quarter is not that favorable then we should expect something good between 2&3.

Watching again the Bitcoin in pressure is really not good thing, let alone when the expectation was quite high for a better movement. The market that still go under pressure and unpredictable for sure can make many people upset, let alone if previously believed on the ability of the price that can be stable or even rising in the near term. This is difficult to avoid when the price drops and the bears’ signal gets stronger and this is not what the market wanted after other various positive signals that have been expected. From this it seems that the market has always got a way of ensuring that patience and perseverance of those who had put much faith in this region is challenged.

Yes, it is too early to conclude that this is the beginning of a bearish era. 2025 should be the momentum for crypto to experience a bullrun and also an altcoin season. Indeed, in its journey it will not be easy at all, because, a market crash like this will certainly happen often. and even this time the price decline was really fast and severe.

And this is certainly quite normal when there are many people then panic occurs, especially for newcomers, wow this is bad. But, for those who are really used to market conditions like this, so, it is natural for us to be much stronger.

Market always has its principles and that is how it operates, for market to complete its principles we must experience bull and Bear, at the time we think bull is coming we experience bear market which is very important thing to note down concerning the market.
As a trader or investor you must not expect market to always be on the green candle, so also expect the red at any given time and when you have this at the back of your mind you wouldn't be that relaxed over the market whenever there is bear coming you would know how to maneuvers to secure profits.
