If the bear market will continue, that's the time for buying point of some whales which I think isn't a bad side of the market price, not unless, all whales will sell their holding which I think they didn't because they are smarter investors.
If there is no guarantee that all whales will sell their bitcoin then no guarantee that bear will go down more as speculated. Speculation has one think it creates in some people, that is fear but those selling out can only be a minor hodler and not the real whales that hodls a lot of bitcoin. Whales will not dump that hard for price to fall but they will like to hodl for higher price sale.
