Topic: What should you do in bearish market? - page 6. (Read 20724 times)
Obviously, the best thing to do is to go on a shopping spree. However, mindless buying could easily end in disappointment. My personal experience has thought me to go for the more established coins rather than the ones that are recently launched. It mitigates the volatility and risk factors. Catching the bottom isn't always the best way to go even with popular coins. Just go with ones that you've done your research on, reduce the risks, and gain handsome profits.

Agreed. It is very important to keep in mind that all those market fluctuations may not concern you as long as you are not selling your coins. People tend to be frustrated by things which are, in fact, happening only in their imagination. I mean, if someone thought "I've lost so much!" looking at charts in December 2018 when Bitcoin was $3,200, the loss was actually in their head, not in reality, if they didn't sell at the time.
so if you have got some more investment then start buying in dip slowly and average your buying price so that when the market start to move up , then you should be able to be in profit in short movement. This way you can trade in bearish market and be alert in market.
Idk, I wouldn't recommend trading to those who are inexperienced in the field. They can only lose more that way. It only looks like it's an easy task, buy-low-sell-high, but it's not and it has never been. There are many of those who lost a lot to their experiments with trading.
I don't think we should stop trading and reading more. Of course, reading more is always good but trying to make money in the bear market is better. Practice is still better than theory and sometimes you will find success when the market is degraded.
Bitcoin is around for more than 10 years, and we can check the charts from the past to see that everyone who was buying during bearish markets (before the very last one starting from January 2017) and then waiting long enough had made some good profits. It's only those who were buying in the range of $8,000-$15,000 during the latest bearish market are still in loss, but that's a temporary thing. Waiting long enough is the key.

So basically patience, maybe it would also be a good idea to stop obsessing about bearish this and bullish that?Just forget about price charts for a second, get a life, try to make some work and accept crypto for it, anything accept compulsive focusing your attention on market fluctuations. Set a goal for yourself and work towards it, worst thing that can happen is you equalizing your missed investments with earnings. IMO another, equally valid key is the piece of mind.

I am an investor who has contingency plans, so I have a tenth of my investment with usdt so when the market falls I start buying my favorite Altcoin. Increase profits to the maximum. I have divided my money into various investment landmarks based on a fixed price because you must be a known genius of it. So try to buy them at the lowest prices possible.
I have swing traded during the last bear market. Especially the past few months have been profitable since a lot of coins started pumping out of nowhere.
We should always be prepared for a bear market, but there is no reason to be alarmed. You can't only survive from the bear market, you can even prosper from it. It can absolutely provide great opportunities, but we have to know what we are looking for. If you feel that a bear market is developing and have substantial long positions in the market, it's best to buy inexpensive short and long-term puts on the major indices. A proper asset allocation strategy will allow us to avoid negative effects resulting from failing to diversify assets.
The most effecient thing to do is to study things further in blockchain. You can accumulate coins but you can't do that every week or month or will just sweep all your funds that you might need in case of emergency. If you allot your time in knowing the very difficult things to understand in the tech then you will have an advantage to see if it will succeed or not.
In a bearish market, if you are noticing signs that the prices are getting stabilized, then it may represent an ideal opportunity to increase your holdings. But that depends on how much purchasing power you are having at that point of time. Anyway... always remember one thing. Avoid panic selling. If you are short of cash, then selling some of the coins may be necessary. But it should not be done in haste.
Bearish market doesn't happen when the market is cheap, it happens when the market is expensive or overvalued. Emotions are their biggest enemy in a bear market. Have patience, it seems that bear markets feel like they are going to last forever, but they don’t. If we stay with good, quality investments, we should be able to make it through all right. It is best to make sure that we keep calm and keep the proper perspective. By employing some alternative strategies, we can do quite well during those times.

Why consider the sign of stabilized prices if you can already buy during the dip and lowest? you can find it yourself and set a basis on how low should be the lowest base on your strategy in buying. Don't regret if you buy with a potential low price and the market became lower after buying. This will distract your plan of buying during the bear market, you need to set higher price with the bought price and don't look for your frustration if ever the market goes lower. 
The first thing you need to do is keep calm when the bear market appears. Checking the price of Altcoin you are holding if they fall slightly, sell all to buy back at a lower cost to make a profit in the risk market. If you are a USDT holder, be happy because you can choose the potential Altcoin you want to buy because the price is falling, then wait for the market to stabilize and rise again and sell them and collect return profit.
The bearish market is the best market available for acquisition of altcoins because the value is low and the evolution of it is predictable.
This is the most common mistake being done by the new users. When I was new here, I was also thinking the same way. I gave more importance to the alts and accumulated a large number of different alts and tokens. And then I learnt my lessons the hard way. First of all, the price of all the alts are dependent on Bitcoin. And secondly, most of them were created to poach the users of Bitcoin (although there are exceptions such as Cardano and Ether).
If you look at the technology behind these alts, you can see that none of them has the capability to replace BTC. They are having value just because some people think that they'll also give good returns like BTC.
Thats indeed a huge mistake, accumalating more than 6 to 10 alts as a way of diversifying their investment. I mean not all projects have the same outcome. Most of the people who have been buying alts during bearish season, ends up selling every little gains they made to cover the losses and trying to make it break even.
It was then I remembered, its more profitable to buy during pre ICO, but of course choosing the most promising project will be the most hardest part.
Collecting few alts in the portfolio is not bad at all provided you choose the right Altcoin. The price of the altcoins will rise as the market will go in uptrend but to get advantage you need to hold it for some midterm duration.
Also it is advisable to keep atleast 30% of the portfolio in BTC always.
I didnt said its bad. Lets say 5 maximum alts in my portfolio (thats my standard limit, I sometimes consider 6). iMO, midterm duration isnt somehow very profitable. Well, it depends on the amount you have invested. Huge capital means huge returns.
I even have more than 30% amount of Bitcoin in my protfolio. I am still skeptical in diversifying my investment for more than 7 alts, I might end up lossing big chunk of my asset lol.

In a bearish market the price basically declines and its not stabilizing but buying at the dip is a good idea if you are an investor that likes to hold for a possible profit . you dont need to wait for the price to stabilize before you buy because when it stabilizes that is a sign that a bear will be ending and will now be replaced by a bull .

always remember one thing. Avoid panic selling. If you are short of cash, then selling some of the coins may be necessary. But it should not be done in haste.
Selling in a haste is beneficial especially if you badly need the cash because the price of the coins can fluctuate and worst it can go down more if you will waste your time waiting .

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.
If you’d ask me, I will say that you should buy at anytime you feel is right or at anytime you think you can afford the price. It’s difficult to tell when exactly the price is at the bottom. You should use the recent event that took place as an example ; everyone was expecting the price to fall more to $2000, but instead of that happening, the price took a turn around $3000 and went up to $5400. Those who bought at that $3000 were lucky that they did buy at that rate. So you should just do the same. So what to do to survive and live well when the bearish market happens???

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?

Yep, Bearish market is the best opportunity to all investors who wanted to make profit in the future. Before the bull comes over we should buy at the dip. But we should consider not to sell even the value get lower and lower because it will just make us feel more lost. Just hold and benefit in the future.Jump to:
