In a bear market though, any positive news will not be felt, just like when we hear about Brazil's legalization, the price didn't move on the contrary, it just move sideways, meaning no effect at all and on the contrary, it just go down a bit as we speak.
But if this news happens in the bull market, for sure a minimum jump of 5% will happen as soon as this news was released.
Anyhow, bear market is not over, and it could stay for a the whole year, 2023.
I agree about 2022, but there are big questions about 2023. I believe we can expect something different in 2023, it's about market recovery. I am still very optimistic that the market will recover soon in 2023 and it is quite possible that $20K will be support then.
So far it seems hard to see the market moving more than 5% at any one time, but I'm not really expecting that now as I still want to collect more bitcoin at low prices. Either way I still believe that the current drop in bitcoin price is part of a cycle, and it will end. No doubt, this is coming soon and I hope you all stay on the same train, meaning don't sell during the price down.
I guess there's nothing wrong to be optimistic in the next year, after all we really don't know what's next for us in 2023. On the flip side, if there will be another bear market, then obviously it will mean a decline again, so it could be in along the $10k-$13k worst case scenario, or a few bounce and maybe $25k-$30k if there is some good news around.
So for the best thing to do in this kind of situation is just like what you said, accumulate as much as we can, and then be prepared on both end. If the price decline then take advantage of the situation. If the price goes up, then DCA and still look for the long term or at least the next bull run.
