The bear market pullbacks and what I am looking at trading

[B. Ota72]

Many crypto enthusiasts on X still hope for an altseason despite the four-year bull cycle ending in Q1 this year. A big retracement is coming, which may convince some that they were right but will end up getting liquidated if not careful.

Traders can profit from this volatility with futures, but investors can only gain from retracements and must cautiously invest during pullbacks.

I think projects like XRP and ETH may retrace more, so diversification is wise. Mind Network, leveraging FHE, its native token for universal encryption in AI, modular chains, gaming, asset management, and DePIN, is gaining buzz, making it a strong candidate for trading or investing during this short pullback trend.

What do you think?

...

We have to be careful with any forecast at the moment because everything is different, the cycle, the altseason and now with this US trade war, everything could get even worse and messier

My humble opinion is to avoid bigger moves if you don't have experience with the market and know exactly what you're doing
And the time seems right for a few small purchases over the course of a few weeks. Maybe in a few months everything will rise again

But it's good to be very cautious now, everyone, practically all the analysts and influencers have got their predictions wrong

Altseason is gone and it is in 2024.

Altcoins can generally retrace more and some coins may even retrace than ethereum and ripple. This is not about diversification but about knowing the time to invest. I prefer to invest only in bitcoin for long term. I gamble with the rest.

For now, it better to maintain any action that you wish to take. Jumping into the market may not be a good thing now. Yes we are supposed to begin buying the dips but with the speculation all over the internet, we might have even more dips. Though no one can predict the market 100%, you just have to be careful with what ever action you take to avoid getting liquidated in the pull back.

What do you think?

It can be a big gamble, I don't invest on new projects and even on any altcoin too but been here and observed the trends for years so yeah investors can make profits even when the market reverses, since there will be some coins that will perform due to other factors like community support, marketing via big name but those usually last for a while so make profits while you are still in it and don't hope for long term gains.

That's right, diversifying your portfolio without the perfect knowledge on what asset to buy is like pouring water inside a pit. I made such mistake as of last year because of the news hype on different ALTS.

Don't get too carried away with informations you get on any news resource especially from social media. As for now, BTC truly is the key of investments or else for the purpose of trading.

You say the bull cycle is over and recommend investment diversification. Then you believe projects like XRP, ETH, and Mind Network are ideal investments. If the cycle ends, the biggest correction will be for altcoins. In that case, the best advice would be to convert Bitcoin to stablecoins, or at least hold Bitcoin rather than purchase altcoins.

So your saying that the bull run has ended in the first quarter of the year already? Where is this coming from? Or you're just predicting just like many of us here are doing. I don't think that bull run season has ended already, and what I believe is just, the market is just shaking off those who have weak hearts to those who have strong ones. The market is shaking off those who are panic selling to those who are not. The market is just eradicating those who think that the bull run season is over to those who are not.

As for diversification, if you want to diversify, and you said that the bull run cycle is over already, isn't it better to hold on to stablecoins or just straight up cash instead of diversifying into different cryptocurrencies where we still expect that it will go down as well? Your advice is straight up trash if you will ask me.

I have seen the airdrop hype of Mind network, lot of people are farming it, even institutions are farming it. I won't be surprised to see the huge sell off when it will lists, because airdrop hunters will sell quickly.

Speaking of XRP and ETH, I would prefer ETH most, because it is highly cheap right now, and there was a time when I thought buying it at $2800 would be the best deal, but it touched $1500 even and I did not buy it. Because I was already down, had no capital.

Overall I am also one of those X users, who hopes the market to return to it's normal condition.

Funny enough the whole year started with so many crypto or Bitcoin enthusiast being certain that this year is the well awaited bull market year and so far nothing seems to be bullish although the year is still young and so many crazy things are still up ahead but for now one must check and make very careful decision especially with the actual cryptocurrency that you want to invest on because you might wake up one morning and see some interesting rate on your investment and then you would know the reason why it's called a volatile asset.

Yes. It is very natural for us who still continue to hope that the altcoin season bull run will really happen this year, because there has never been an altcoin season before during this market increase and this is a moment that is highly anticipated for altcoins to be able to rise and skyrocket very significantly like in previous eras.

The market conditions with high volatility and good market cap are indeed utilized by day traders who primarily do future trading. because they can easily get big profits, either in LONG or SHORT settings, depending on the conditions of the next possible market.

it's just that for beginners, this is highly discouraged to do future trading because the risk is very dangerous, if you do it without good knowledge and ability, it will only be gambling.

I agree with you because I don't think anyone who sells or invests now will follow their target or strategy. But I'm talking about long-term traders.If I speak for myself, I did not sell the bitcoins I was holding when it went to 109k,  still holding and I will not be going to sell until 109k or I guess touch 120k again. Maybe it could take me wait for another cycle.
Currently, there is only market manipulation going on, and in the midst of this, common traders are panicking and making rash decisions.

Investors will not be affected by the retracement... even when the price does experience an unreasonable fluctuation, they will still make their confident decisions, because their projection is for the long term... and that is something that does not confuse them at all... investors will still hold if bearish comes... and will still buy even though the retracement is towards bullish.... once again it needs to be explained, that their projection is long term....

we are now entering the 2nd week of april which means that q1 is already over but will you say that the bull cycle is now over? bitcoin has gone back up to above $80k again and the previous concerns of bitcoin reaching down to $60k seems to have dissipate already and investors can breathe a little better for a while it is still unclear when will the bear cycle actually hit with how the economy is moving these days what with trump's policies affecting international trades

i think times like this investors should seriously consider long term planning because when the market is this uncertain and volatile you would be a lot better off investing with long term goals in mind

Well, that might be a good option, but if the investor knows how to trade, and he's profitable with trading then these pullbacks could give you more profit instead of long term planning.

Speaking of long term planning, I believe that these traders are also long-term investors. I mean they're trading, but they also have funds that are being put for long-term coins like maybe Bitcoin and some altcoins. Yes, the market is uncertain, but that's what separates a profitable and a newbie trader. A profitable trader knows how to read the charts despite the uncertainty while the newbie isn't. Volatility is what makes these traders profitable.

I'm not against your advice. It's just that if there's an opportunity to earn even more then try to do it.
