The current state of the market

[B.Otasowie]

Should I say the market is currently in shambles or that won't highlight properly the current state of the market?

Every news currently seems to be bearish for BTC and with this, it is better to start shorting Bitcoin. The bear market is coming fast with the end of this Q1 beginning the start and this aligns with my strategy of shorting BTC.

I am considering taking advantage of exchange trading events. Its benefit is that my losses remain the same while my profits are even bigger with the prize pools attached to these events.

What do you guys think about the market and using exchange trading events to gain more? If you have an exchange trading event with a good prize pool you can also recommend it.

Yeah the market was really on a bearish trend some hours back but I guess the market trend now is on bullish trend, BTC and other pairs are moving in a bullish trend now so I guess the market is back to normal. 
 The market was on bearish trend just because of the news about the CPI (consumer price index ) it a news that affect the market and economic either cause an inflation or deflation. So such news cause a lot of market change analysis so that why we notice a big bearish trend on BTC and other pairs like Gold and others pairs also.

 Such news really affect the market cause it about economic stability so anytime you notice  such thing be caution of any trade you want to take and apply risk management for safety.

Shorting Bitcoin? Probably if you're a day trader, or a swing trader, but if you're a position trader, I don't think that shorting would be a good thing to do.

Just for context, we aren't in a bear market this quarter, and probably not on the whole year of 2025. I'm not saying that we will not though because who knows, but the sentiment around the market is bullish despite the bearish movement that is currently happening right now. My bias might change though if Bitcoin broke the current support of $89,000.

Taking advantage of these events would be good, but only if you're an experienced trader. Newbies can't take advantage of it, but it will be the opposite. These events are meant for everybody to get attracted including newbies. Newbies who don't have any knowledge about trading. These events can indeed make you more money aside from the profits that you earn through trading itself, but also take note that the chances of you losing money would be higher the lesser the experience you have.

The only ones that can take advantage of these kind of events are those experts out there who are using huge amounts of money just for trading.

I don't see a bearish market at all as for now.
What we see now is a sideway movement, which is common before the pump.
We have all the reasons to believe that BTC can sky rocket from here, and I would rather await this than a slow decline of this rally through 2025.

Investors interest in risky assets has decreased as the cryptocurrency market has also been adversely react. As the investor has lost a lot of money from the new project, they do not want to invest in new projects now. On the other hand, Bitcoin has been able to retain its strong position in the market even though the price of Bitcoin has dropped below one million dollars. To investors, the Bitcoin is now becoming more acceptable as digital gold. Because of this everyone is still holding bitcoin so far and refrains from altcoins.

Can you add a link to all the news that indicates that Bitcoin is going down? This usually happens after Bitcoin breaks prices two or three times far from ATH, which is not happening now.

well, your thoughts about the current bitcoin movements may play out though i have a different opinion. It is obvious that Bitcoin has its circle, the bull and bear circles. It is also important to point out that there are sentiments on the current market movements, but looking at the demand and supply which also determine the market trends, I am sure that the bull is still very strong.

I think that market demand is still high, however, there are indications that there may be corrections before the next move, and there are no bear flags even from expert as per the current Bitcoin price movements so far.
I have not heard of bear news but market trends signify that bitcoin is experiencing a side way movements which are normal. Actually, the market is very difficult to predict, it is important to watch the market closely probably to adjust some plans on the event of a bear outcomes.

OP is not up to date of understanding what market correction is likely to be one of those easily to be influenced by the internet speculations which everyone have their different views of analysing the market without being realistically predictable to what the next outcome of Bitcoin would be.

Perhaps Bitcoin price might be bearish within this periods but does not mean the market would not recover it momentum to breaking of new ATH again. Moreover, we have not seen the bull yet but rather a gradual market increase which had surged to the ATHs experienced recently.

So I think the current Bitcoin price should be an attractive moments to buy more and hold against breaking new ATHs up to the bull run to come.

I think OP just didn't look at the broader picture - yeah, sure, we don't have ATH after ATH currently, but we move sideways, in the range of 100k all the time.
So all is good, the bear is probably not coming, we just need to see it for ourselves.

Just because the price is gradually falling doesn't mean the market is bearish. We are still in the bullish season behind those bearish movements. Even if we saw a big dump right now, it is considerably normal because we are still in the protected zone. That big dumps or maybe the bearish trend that consist of big candlesticks is a retracement because it is what the market do. I believe that the bearish market will just happen after the alt season.

Yes, a big dumps is expected to happen during the bull run, it is part of the market factors, and has been known to occur at intervals. The bull run is still on course, hoping to continue for a longer periods this year in my opinion.
Again, we should expect some side ways movements, trends reversal, market dips, corrections, and the Bitcoin demand/supply entering the market over times.
I think altcoins season should be the next big thing, before the bear flag comes in, but the timing is unpredictable.

There is indeed a sense of boredom when it is sideways and this is the same pattern as a few years ago during the Q1 period. When everyone is tired and stressed about selling their assets cheaply, then the whales buy up and get cheap prices again. It is true that whales and traders have different patience for a while. But if our investment model is set in the long term. It is not a problem with big speculators.

[Bobcrypto]

Yes, you are correct, when our investment are on the long term, there shouldn't be any reason(s) to consider what is currently happening on the market, as per wether Bitcoin bull or bear news, or speculations which occur frequently may not have any effects.

A long term investors may not be curious of the state of the Bitcoin price all the time because his/her investments might has been planned for ten years.
However, as humans, we may be tempted to sell especially when emotions comes in.

Assuming that you can win prizes on exchange events that's most given based on liquidity is stupid cause someone with 100 BTC can do that in just one trade but for an average trader they can never able to meet that much liquidity no matter how much trades they can do. Bear market is not kicking in and probably you're another newbie popped up recently and trying to educate others what to do.

How can Bitcoin bearish if it's sitting at $97k? it is not bearish but it is only your mind that thinks it is but it's not. The market is doing fine, we have to be straight with what the market tells us for now. If you are in losses, you only have to cover them for a while now and you'll eventually recover it once the market recovers too and the more you accumulate, you'll also make more.
