bearish signs

[SmartGold01]

Initially I was saying that bitcoin could dropped -50 percent of its original price from $109k, that is to say if we divides that price into two parts we are having around $54,500 before it would bounce again. Currently the market has already experienced $75k and there could be any possibility of still dumping more, but most times traders wouldn't allow it to dump that much and greed level could hold and sustain it within the price of $69k.

If you are long-term holders, for sure they are not affected by what is happening in the market because they are actually just waiting. But for those who aimed for profit in the short-term, they are of course affected and we know that because we saw the collapse of the market all over the world in just a few minutes after the announcement regarding these tariffs.

That's why right now we are still far from a bear market at the moment because obviously we are still in a bullish momentum right now, especially since there was a pause in the tariff war that all countries around the world are facing.

If you are a long term trader or holder then this market is for them but those who that desperate to make profits could just end up losing entirely because of lack of patient.
As we know short term are most for altcoin instead of Bitcoin though it depends on individuals likenesses.

Bitcoin has good fundamentals, and will either die and become forgotten or will keep appreciating in value in the long term. Given the level of legitimisation Bitcoin has received recently, the latter option seems much more likely.
But timing/strategy matters in terms of investing in it. The 4-year cycles could be a blessing, but could also be a curse. Those who bought in at the very peak of the previous cycle didn't get good value for money. Even if they managed to sell at the peak of the current bull run, that's still a return of like 15% a year, which is not that impressive given it was in the period of high inflation and other traditional markets could yield a better return.

Fundamentals will always be there, no matter what:

a. halving event
b. cap at 21 million
c. network health and uptime.

The thing though right now is that we are not just looking at those fundamentals it's more of what and how the price are being affected by the geo-politics that we are seeing, like the war between Russia vs Ukraine or the volatility of the Middle East or proxy wars between Iran and US.

And to add to that, we have the tariff wars that Trump is imposing to every countries that really impacted everything from crypto to stock markets.

my question is how are you preparing for the expected bear cycle should it actually happen soon?

No, the bear cycle is not going to happen anytime soon. There's big game in keep market down and the ones who understand such games are the ones who will make profit from this market. it's the best time for the ones who follow DCA strategy. The market will recover once again and who knows we might see Bitcoin at $100k or above it before December 2025.

I too think in that direction - we need to accumulate and await the opportunity to see the new heights on the chart through 2025.
It will bring results, and good ones, down the line.

Since I have sold most of my BTC assets during the January 2025 bullish, if there is a bear market coming in Q2 this year, then I will start to make purchases gradually and routinely... yes, I am more inclined to the long-term market which is more profitable because of the BTC halving cycle... at least we can have a pretty good vision for the bearish and bullish periods, although some say that this cycle has accelerated... yes at least we have to prepare early too...

...
we have been trying to figure out what could be bitcoin's next direction ...

My opinion is that after ETFs, institutional investments and big whales out of the crypto world, the price of BTC and cryptos in general have become quite dependent on the whole economy, especially in the United States
So everything that happens in the US economy will probably be reflected in the price of BTC and it will be difficult for this relationship to take off
It's hard to know how long it will last, but as soon as the economy improves again, trade relations are re-established and liquidity returns, BTC will reach new highs, this is my guess

Actually, i believe that your opinion is also very appropriate in this moment. So i am also agree with your prefer comment. If we follow in cryptocurrency market, we can see that bitcoin price is remain $813 97 now which is slightly down.

But before three days ago, we can see that bitcoin price reach under $76k. So i believe that gradually bitcoin price will recover this situation and i think that within a shot time bitcoin price reach best position in cryptocurrency market.

Bitcoin bearish cycle may have ended as global stock markets are recovering. The bearish situation that followed Donald Trump tariff announcement has been suspended for next three months. I agree with you that is the best time to accumulate Bitcoin by DCA strategy. Although regardless of the price this method reduces the UP in your portfolio and increases your profits. I think that by the end of this year the price of Bitcoin may be $150k or more.

I personally think that the current Bitcoin market situation is just based on fear about Donald Trump tariff war with many countries especially China, the economic challenges will gradually come to an end, and there is yet any bear flag informations in my opinion.
I must say that the bear run is part of the market circle, but i still think that we may experience the altcoins season before the bear run, i may be wrong, though i see these bear run on the economic perspective, not as many people has concluded.

And just like that, we have seen bullish signs already. The market has bounce back to somewhat to $95,000. That is the biggest barrier for now and then we will go for that $100,000.

I haven't check the news yet as for the result, but still good to see that in this week alone, a massive increased from the sideways pattern of $80,000-$85,000 to $95,000.

So it's not that we are in the bearish signs, it's that the market just settled down a bit and now making a break out run.
