bear run, what to expect?

[Faisal2202]

I am sure that those who newly entered Bitcoin and even other coins in the market will be devastated upon realizing that their portfolio is shrinking like a drying lake...and since the bear run can be taking some time (like the assumed 4-year cycle) these people do not have the time and patience to wait for things to rebound dramatically. Heck, even old holders can still feel the pinch all over their wallets. As for myself, I have not yet thrown my towel to the arena...I am still waiting for some back-to-the-good-times kind of thing even just for once before we can officially proclaim that the bear is taking over and that the bull has retreated to the cave to hibernate for good. This is actually one of the few things I do not like in crypto investing...that kind of feeling of being lost in the wilderness looking for the bull while the bear is running after me to make me his meal.

I can't agree with you because the feeling of losing in the wilderness without any guidance or expert along with you will feel too unsafe, and things can really become very bad, I hope everyone has learned their survival lessons and have enough patience, but as the diversity of this world no one can be equal, so there will be losers and a winners and investors of different mindsets.

I also agree with the holder's pov too because they also have their breakdown point everyone have. The only thing we all can expect is to accept the reality that it is happening and now is the time to book in lose too. But right now it's not.

Investor sentiment was very bullish at the start of the year but is now only seen as mixed. While long term investors are very optimistic with the short term investors are currently withdrawing cash, which is causing a lot of downside in the market. There are also some retail investors who are waiting for a clear signal before re-entering the market. In fact, to test whether the bull run is over in 2025, we need to compare the current market behavior with the previous cycle and make an on-chain aggregate assessment. I think there is no need to worry too much at this point so we should follow the previous schedule and grab the best profit opportunities.

Easy to say not to worry about the current cycle. But once a person has put all his savings in crypto and the prices are not rising, an investor is going to start worrying. If he can grab best profit opportunities, he should grab them.

This cycle is very different, the altcoins has not even move up to make those investors happen. Only the selected ones climbed up like they have their own bull market and then now its all just crumbling. Not the kind of cycle to expect.

Of course, it is undeniable that what we invest in crypto is our savings or money that we plan to need someday or in a certain period of time, then I am sure, with conditions like this, they will be very stressed and exhausted. Moreover, prices in the marketplace often drop very quickly.

That is why, we often say that for investing in crypto, never use savings that will be used for certain needs at some point or in the near future. Because this is a fairly large risk, no one can predict the marketplace 100% correctly, so there must be self-awareness to manage their finances in terms of investing, especially in cryptocurrency.

The bear season for beginners is the beginning of their entry into crypto risk, if they are weak then they will experience a lot of losses where the current BTC value has almost returned to the first ATH after the 2021 bear, at least beginners can be more careful if they want to enter one coin, be it BTC or even a meme token

That's why we that are into crypto for quite some time always tell these beginners to learn, learn and learn, and when I say learn, I say include the history of Bitcoin's price movements so that they will be ready once we enter the bear market.

I would also say that learning how to look at patterns will be a big help as well. Weak hands will mostly lose their money. Weak hands will probably panic and making some unnecessary decisions. Beginners most of the time lose their money for some reasons that's why for those beginners out there, continue to educate yourself so your chances of losing money decreases. Researching is a big help I promise.

It is true that learning and studying can reduce risk, loss/failure can be used as a lesson in the future so as not to get caught in the same situation, for this pattern problem I personally have very, very little knowledge of where I should start looking,

Market sentiment can change withing 24 hours if eth can pump 10% then Tommorow onwards all influencer start talking about alts season.

In market have to patience for good returns bcz market test the patience of investors and we have to keep HODL our Portfolio for better return.

I agree, everyone is panicking right now and talking about a bear run, but just a 1-2 day price increase in many top coins like ETH + XRP and everyone will be talking about a bull run or uptrend with maximum FOMO. Market sentiment is really sensitive and often abused by whales.

I also don't think the market has entered a downtrend yet. The uptrend is still being maintained and we have a lot of good news. Unfortunately, investors aren't focusing on the good news but are just looking for reasons to explain the market's weakness.

Sounds right to me.

We just need for the liquidity to pour back in eventually, that's where our hodling will be rewarded

It depends on which timeframe you use to be fair. If you compare it all the way back then we're still in an uptrend, but if you look at the last few months or so it's hard to argue we're still on an uptrend. Lower lows and highs plus other factors contribute to that. I'm not one of those people who claims that Bitcoin is dead or whatever, but being rational about the chart is a good thing so you don't enter/exit the market recklessly. I think a bear market is a good time for people to learn about that, especially if they've some money to spare.

I am also still studying the current market conditions, but our thoughts are the same because I see that we are still in an uptrend so it is better to wait. If you have capital, you should wait for bitcoin to go down again before buying.
because I think the market will likely go down again before we see the top ATH of bitcoin.

i am sure that many people have recently found their way towards bitcoin and crypto last year and are only now experiencing the bull run

so the upcoming bear run is their first and i see newbies grow restless and anxious when the mention of bear run comes up but for those who have experienced the many cycles of bitcoin, we know that there is no need to panic or worry we can still make use of the market even when it’s down

first you can purchase more bitcoin and hold but bear run doesn’t mean it’s always gonna be down so if you could take advantage of the volatility you still can get profit we can also use this time to find projects that could be beneficial for when the bull run comes

what else should newbies expect comes the bear run?

I am also an inexperienced investor so I consider myself a newbie in this market. If a bear run occurs, I will stay out of the market and only participate when there are clear signs of recovery, for example in early 2027.

Buying in a downtrend is not a suitable option for me, I would rather hold stablecoins to wait for the bottom. A bear run is a good opportunity for newbies to learn about the market in order to be ready for the uptrend.

My advice during downtrends movements is to buy in batches. For example, of you have $1000 as capital, it is most appropriate to by Bitcoin or other good altcoins out there according to the price movements.
If the price of Bitcoin break below it's strong support price level of $80k, you can take little buy position at this price level; you may wait again to buy another quantity at a lower price, at #78k if the previous couldn't hold. You can still buy more if price dump below $78k, probably take another buy position at $75k.
This has been my strategy, but may not work for other traders, however, it not a financial advice.

We are still in the bull run, so we might see the conditions might change for the better in the next couple of months. And it's good that we have seen the lowest lows for this year this early, so that we can work it out later for us.

Maybe we can see x2 of the latest low for our bare minimum top up price for this year.

So still, we should be optimistic and see that this is just another bump and we can still go for a new all time high at the end of the year.

Taking advantage of market volatility during a bear market is a strategy I’ve seen many use successfully time and time again. Learn technical analysis, understand the market, and stay informed to seize opportunities when they arise .Also, working in crypto can help if you're a graphic designer or content creator, the bear market is the perfect time to put your skills to use!

It seems that the bullish season will only last until Q3 of this year, and at the end of the year we will likely see a bearish season. This is just a prediction based on observations of the crypto market.
However, everything can change because that's how the crypto market is.
For now, we should stay calm and hold our coins. Because the market is likely to go up again.

After than bull run then expect that we do have that bearish market on which this is really the usual part of this cycle and its not a shocking thing but as we do all know that there's no way that we can be able to tell on when it would happen and this is why people will really be that keeping on speculating because of this aspect. This market had been that always speculative but since we do have already that idea on which basing up into its history then this is why we wont be able to avoid on making up some assumptions on where it could potentially be able to go. Each cycle would be having its bullish and bearish sentiment on which its common sense that if its already done on pumping, thn the next thing to happen is on having that retracement or correction on which it could really be that go so bad or as severe on which most of the time that we would be panicking out.
