You don't have to make a single choice as when to buy, the best strategy is to spend small amounts and spread the trades, for instance if you buy every week for 100$ while the market is crashing you can make sure that you are not putting all your money on one go... 

China's statement seems to be in order with Ellon's statement, so that seems to add to the downside of the current market bearish list. many people experience fear which adds to this downturn. This kind of thing happened in 2018, and I think it will improve too. therefore, as investors in particular we have to be patient

Exactly, if we take a look at nature this is similar to what we see with a forest fire, many people get upset about this but if it happens naturally then that just meant there were many old trees that were about to die anyway, the forest fire opens space and opportunities for new trees to take their place and keep the forest alive.

This is the same, people hate bear markets but it is a filter, those that can survive a bear market become better investors and get the profits from the next bull market while bringing new blood to the market as well, so while I can understand why people are mad when they see a decreasing price they must also try to make an effort to appreciate the good it brings over the long term as well.

Ah, we're all set then, nothing to worry about  However, I find it a bit hard to call 50% price reduction a correction.

All questions are in the terminology, but I agree that the level of the current correction is caused to a greater extent by the actions and statements of representatives of the Chinese authorities, so it is still worth waiting for some time after the Chinese holders of bitcoin get rid of their bitcoins and then it will be possible to argue whether the market is bearish or it was just a strong collapse due to bad news. In my humble opinion, the previous increase in the exchange rate of bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies was too sharp and unstable and a correction was inevitable, which happened, and then Chinese statements were superimposed on this correction.

Theres is a big difference when it comes to bitcoin value with today's bearish season compared the previous one. Since there are big institutional investors that have supported bitcoin today, its value won't drop down easily to its deepest dip unlike last 2017, the bearish season has made bicoin value drop into even $3k.

With the unpredictable crypto market we have, we should always be ready and be prepared when bearish season comes because its definitely inevitable. Just simply understanding the market will make us not fall into losses.

Whatever the reasons for this stimulant decline in price will still be called Bearish.  The beginning of the word Bearish was used because a bear (bear), will attack using its paws with a movement from top to bottom, describing market conditions when there are many sales which make the market decline or weaken, aka bearish.  So that in recent weeks the crypto market has indeed been in a bearish situation which is quite unsettling for investors who have bought at the top of the price.  Market cap alone in 24 hours has lost 200 B USD.  This will happen long enough for those who can not stand it will definitely cutloss soon.

I am very bullish even though the market is most likely to have a bearish trend but the strong support of $30k suggest that we are still bullish. This price correction is just temporary and since I'm bullish there's a high chance that Bitcoin would break another ATH within this year or maybe not but we're not gonna go down below $30k because it will trigger a bearish trend.

Bear market is just part of the system that could also help to enter the new investors and to increase Bitcoin adoption. Someone is dropping hard at the market but it's still trying to recover and that's the buyers of those who dump their investment. So, I believe bear market is  nowhere yet if we based the price of the market last year this is still bullish.

Bear market is not that bad nor can it be avoided, I see it as a way of cleaning up the space for a healthier market, an opportunity for new investors to buy at a reasonable price, anyone in crypto should always be prepared for this period and also understand it won't last forever, bull and bear both have a time frame.

Because the market is highly unpredictable and moves with trends, different market conditions can result from different trends such as – A remark from an influential individual or a political decision that prompts a certain kind of action among other large, medium and small HODlers.

 If it is a positive market trend, it will result in a good market condition that may cause a “bull run”. If it is a negative market trend, it may cause investors to become bearish and some may quickly liquidate their crypto assets or convert to another coin for safe keep.  This action will cause a temporary or a slightly prolonged decrease in the value of a crypto and if this slump in price continues to like 10-20% from its former ATH, it is said to be a “bear market” somewhat close to what we are experiencing currently.

When there is a bear market, it is often common to hear among crypto enthusiast to “buy the dip”. Though it is a very profitable strategy or scheme to buy the dip and wait for the surge, the probability of loosing is not completely eliminated as the dip can get deeper afterwards and you run into looses even after buying the dip.

The aim and objective of this topic is to point out some strategy and key things to remember during a bear market in order to safeguard your portfolio. Some are;

(1)  Waiting and trying to pick a point in the dip that you believe is the bottom before investing is very risky as the point you pick might not be the bottom, perhaps just the top of the bottom. Adopting the strategy of investing specific amounts of money into your portfolio over time is advised. This ensures and helps you to avoid the temptation of putting all your money into a portfolio with no certainty.

(2) There is usually a lot of fear among HODlers of cryptocurrency during a bear market, it is very important that investors/HODlers during this period should think long term, because the temptation to sell will be there.

(3)  if you are too bearish and don’t have the confidence to remain in the market, simply convert all your portfolio to a stable coin or cash and wait for the market to recover before you join back in.

Dude, we not in a Bear market.. we are being sabotaged by a group of Chinese with a vengeance against one of their rival Whales. Also a Chinese government with a hidden agenda, namely to sabotage all other Crypto currencies.. in favor of the "soon to be released" Yuan coin.

This was a strategic move from the Chinese government and a couple of whales to seriously damage Bitcoin's price. I hope the people who are buying those coins that was dumped by these people, will hold onto them ...to keep them out of the people's hands that wants to manipulate Bitcoin's price.
