If you trade on Margin (Margin Trading) you can make money by selling short. It's works the same as buying, you sell and then as the price drops you make money relative to the amount you sold and how much the price drops.
This works fine for many people but not in every case. people mostly orient towards an option that suits for most of them. like, do what romans do. When they see people earning from some method, they blindly get in contact with that method and start implementing it in their own way. But for sure, every person is defending, and he must research before diving in field. 
Topic: Can you make money when the market drops? - page 18. (Read 3614 times)
it can but the income earned is not large, it's just an additional profit because even if trading when the market goes down it won't be able to get the maximum profit. so the only way is to use the money to buy coins at low prices and wait for high prices.
buying when the market goes down is the best way to make big profits, but we have to be strong to hold even though there are times to take a long time and also have to be patient and not panic when prices move downhill.
I was expecting you to provide an example of how this your strategic works. Anyway, I think experienced traders would have developed strategies to make profit either way the market goes. If you do, please be kind to share some tips.
Timing is everything in cryptocurrency market, if the timing to buy cheap is there for you in bearish market, you would by incredibly surprise at the bargain you could make on cryptocurrency prices.
Nobody can make money when the price is very down. However, if care is not taken you will loss all asset during the market drops. Also, the only way you can make money is that the price should rise and market should be better. Best of luck.
Even in the down market, if the worth of your portfolio is more than the cost of your investment initially, you are still able to earn in the sown market but this is not normally suggested by the experts and the monetary economists because this helps lower the prices more even more. And the other disadvantage is than if you try to sell in the down market, you actually deprive yourself of the share of money you could possibly earn in future when the price is high.
Is it doomsday for the crypto world? We can make money when the price surges in an instant. Only if you bought a coin that is worth a cent right now. Nobody earns from a price drop unless he or she is sure to know it will bounce back when the price dips. So again it is just a gamble and we are all gamblers out here.
In this bearish market i try to increase my BTC by trade stocks asset in 1broker company, this is for short times while waiting for the crypto market back to bullish. In stock market has low volatility so i have only target profit around 10% amonth. Although crypto on long bearish trend , we should be akways make some money.
It gets really hard to hold right now because of the falling prices, but if the prices will recover and even go beyond it will make me earn from that. So this is my strategy but it depends on the market movement.
Shorting through margin is always a viable option (trading on margin, leveraged), but I prefer going simple and buying the dip like most people have commented here. There's no guarantee that you're going to make money buying the dip, as the market's been going down since December last year, and many people have lost money since then, but there's always a way to make money no matter where the market is going.
Always practice good trading habits as well. If you're just going all in all over the place, you might as well be gambling. If you lack experience, some exchanges offer simulated trading where you can hone your skills.

Actually if you are a professional investor, you can earn money both in the bull market and down point. The most boring is a market siderway, not the market down.
In strong declines, there is always the opportunity to go a long way in the opposite direction, so anyone who knows how to play in a down market will be rich quick in a bull market.
The important thing in a bearish market is the trend reversal, so remember that in the bearish market and as close to the important support points you should put extremely short SL. For this reason, you can lose 8 out of 10 orders, but just succeed 2 orders, you will get back all, even profitable.
So for a professional investor, you can make money even in a strong down market.
Prepare yourself for a solid strategy and psychology. Good luck !
Emotion and Psychological problems would be your main enemy when you do see a downtrend market. Instead you are seeing this as an opportunity then most people do view out on other way which they do lose up confidence instead rather than on buying cheap coins and thinking up to accumulate and be ready on the next bull run. I cant blame people to think up this way because crypto market is way too volatile and unpredictable but we cant really avoid the fact that there would be always a price increase. In strong declines, there is always the opportunity to go a long way in the opposite direction, so anyone who knows how to play in a down market will be rich quick in a bull market.

There is one more boring part. The non movement. 
I have one of that. I thought it will be an easy profit and yet when I came it suddenly just went calm.
Good thing I just bought for an average amount.
Mistakes are meant to happen though so I dont regret it. It is now a lesson.
I would rather see a bear market just like you said. There is still money there.

You can of course make money in a bear market. However, it is not as easy as in a bull market. That's why most people lose their money in a bear market. Because, most people are not traders, and never will be. So, my advice to anyone who would like to test their trading skills in a bear market is to just trade with a small part of the portfolio to avoid losing everything and end up missing the next bull run.
It is more difficult to make money on the fall of the crypto market than on growth, but it is possible. I use the buy-back strategy, which can bring a good profit. To do this, you must choose the right time to enter the market. Purchase on a rollback works well only if there is a common bull trend. If the global trend unfolds, this strategy becomes meaningless.
The mantra to win this market is real simple, you get into it at anytime and try to be patient enough to have your chance of profiting yourself. The down trend is good because it can give you chance to enter into the portfolio making where you can choose the crypto that you always wanted to buy. Because downtrend being the lower prices and guarantee that they will profit you as they will be pumping themselves back to the normal prices or the higher prices as well. Yes true we can surely make money while it drops.
The easiest way to make money in a bear market is to buy the dip. Sooner or later there will be a recovery, just like the one in April or this recent one and when it happens you will be able to either sell with a profit. These recoveries always happen, the only thing that isn't certain here is the timeframe. It can take just a week, but it may also take 3 months before you see it. There's too much manipulation going on for day trading to be profitable. Too many bull traps and too many whales moving walls around for anyone to be able to read anything on the 3-5 min charts.
Yes, I support that. When buying in the dip you need to be extra careful and only go for the coins which you think for sure are going to rise once the market situation improves and that can work.

We can only make money when the crypto prices we have are higher than when we bought it. In the downtrend, it will be better if we keep holding it or even increase the amount of crypto that we have.
Yes you can make money in any market conditions if you have skills to learn to fast and understand when ti sell and when to buy and have some patience you will surely maje money.
