Topic: What should you do in bearish market? - page 18. (Read 20743 times)

It seems to me that your thinking is related to daily trading or maybe short-term investments, and as many traders you are disapointed with this bear market for simple reason, low volatility -> low profit.

On the other hand such times are great opportunity for long-term investors to accumulate more coins and to profit in next bull run. They have big advantage compared to small investors, money they can invest and wait 5, 10 years or even more. It is nothing wrong to spend time with family and to read more, but next time when price start to skyrocketing people will come here and regret for not invested in time, same as every time in past.

I am not 100% sure that past will be repeated, but short 10 years of bitcoin history has certain repetitive patterns, we just have to look at them and decide if we will make our decisions based on them or not.

Addition to #2.

There are great people who are sharing their opinion about the market. It's more of technical analysis with reasoning and they are worth and valuable to read. Most of these people are also co-forumers who are commenting what they think about the market.

Most of it can be found on Speculation.

1. "A bear market is a great time for accumulation, especially if you believe that the fundamentals are strong, and you can afford to hold for the long term."
--> I don't agree because:
- How long is long-term? You can wait for 3 months, 1 year, 3 years but can you wait in vain for 10 years or more?
- Today or next month or even next year the fundamentals are strong but who know they will be collapsed the second year because of sudden reasons?
2. You cannot understand the price movements and even the best traders because nobody can smarter than Mr Market
3. "The other alternative is a variation on price averaging."
--> I don't agree also because averaging price in bear market is the most stupid action. Never do this
My conclusion: Jump out of bearish market a.s.a.p and spend your precious time for your family and reading books to learn as much as possible about the market. The market is younger and younger but you're older and older. Don't be afraid of losing chances, be afraid of losing your money.
P/s: I am writing by smart phone so I can do smoothly. Please forgive me if I have any mistakes

If we are that sure that the market is bearish we can just short our bets

A bear market is a great time for accumulation, especially if you believe that the fundamentals are strong, and you can afford to hold for the long term. You can take chance and speculate by shorting the price , but you need to understand price movements to do this. The other alternative is a variation on price averaging. The price never goes straight down, but the drop includes periods of sideways movement, and price corrections when the price goes up. If you buy when you think the correction is near the bottom, and sell when you think it has gone up enough, then you can increase the quantity of Bitcoin that you buy. If you never take a loss, but move the coins that you can never sell for a profit into a HODL wallet, then you are just boosting the number of coins that you would have purchased as part of your averaging.

Note that this is an ultra safe approach, and is based on the opinion of someone who is not a professional adviser, and who isn't too good at chart analysis. With this approach, you shouldn't use money that you can't afford to lose, and you are prepared to tie up for a couple of years or more. Also you need to be convinced that the long term trend for Bitcoin is bullish.

Stuff like this isn't highlighted enough: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2848987.5

There are plenty of things to do other than trying to find the next big thing.

Every investor does not follow the trading think, maximum people thinking that one-day "bill gets" no learning, no hard work no experience, feeling just buy and sell next few days she is a "Rich man".  

I think all traders should follow some of the rules and regulations It should not be rush here Before taking any step here should be considered.

Your needed must follow some think:

1. Not all money should be invested in a token or a coin(you can invest 20-30% of your total money).

2. Do not invest any token or coin first analysis deeply than invest It cannot be thought that I will always gain a lot(target 5-10% average).

3. Do not follow any pumping group or signal group Because if you do this, then there is a lot more chance of losing your profit

if you want a real trader or investor so You should keep the same amount as you invest(always reserve 50% money on your total amount) Besides, you will lose your capital once.

The downtrend market is a very normal phenomenon in the overall market movement. But for investors, this is a very unfavorable time because it is difficult to buy & sell and take risks if trying to buy a certain crypto code. The downward market often drags most crypto down.
So what to do to survive and live well when the bearish market happens??? Here are some tips for you.

1. SHOULD NOT CATCH THE BOTTOM IF YOU ARE LACK OF KNOWLEDGE AND EXPERIENCE:
Normally, investors like to catch the bottom. Catching the bottom is a normal action, even helping investors buy cheap cryptos, but it is a huge risk. Therefore, if your knowledge and experience are not enough, it is the best not to see the price drop too cheap and buy it, because in fact you cannot know how much the price will drop.
The thing to do in this period is to jump outside and wait for the price to stop falling, start to create a solid price base or show signs of increasing to consider whether to buy or not.
In the three states of increase - decrease - sideways, the trend of rising prices always gives us the highest probability of buying cryptos.

2. FOCUS ON READING BOOKS, SEEKING FOR INFORMATION, GETTING MORE KNOWLEDGE
Our knowledge is very limited, no one can claim that we know everything in this market. Instead of watching the price board, charts, just find a book about investment, or crypto trading to learn more knowledge from previous people in order to upgrade your level to new heights.
When the crypto market starts to bullish, with the knowledge you have just acquired, will you invest better when you don't know anything?
