A bear run in Bitcoin scares most new investors, some investors might panic and sell their Bitcoin, while others might hold onto theirs with the hopes that the price will rise again.

some general tips for handling a bear run in Bitcoin:

Do not panic: It's important not again panic and sell your Bitcoin immediately. Bear runs can be unpredictable, and the price may rise again.

Do proper research: Before making any decisions, please do your research to know why the price is falling. Look at demand trends, news, and other factors affecting the price fall.

Evaluate dollar-cost: before buying Bitcoin during a bear run consider dollar rate. This means investing a fixed amount of money at frequent intervals, regardless of the price. This can help you avoid buying at a high price and losing money.

Have a clear investment plan: Before investing, it is important to have an obvious investment plan that aligns with your financial goals and risk tolerance. Stick to your plan to avoid making sudden changes in response to short-term market changes.

Be knowledgeable: stay up to date with what's happening in the Bitcoin market for investment decision purposes.

Always remember, the crypto market can be volatile and unpredictable. Make sure to invest wisely and always do your research before making any decisions.



In general, BTC is for long-time hodling, so it is vital not to panic in case of bear market. The other problem is to stop yourself from selling large amounts of BTC at the bull run. Investment is always a gambling, so waiting through price fall periods is the part of a plan...

I see that the cryptocurrency market is gaining interest and growing rapidly in recent years. Many investors and businesses have begun to accept cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology. At the same time, countries are also coming up with policies and regulations for crypto-related activity. However, there are still many difficulties, risks and challenges facing the cryptocurrency market. So that volatility is also a lesson for everyone to check if they really believe and understand what they are aiming for in this market.

Bitcoin price goes down ang up once bitcoin goes down don't worry because you can hold it for long time. And once you have bitcoin expect that the price is not stable if you wanna get bitcoin in low price that very nice because you get an good profit once bitcoin goes up.
Other people holding bitcoin without worrying because once bitcoin price down they will buy again and wait for the right time to sell all of their bitcoin.

Do not panic: It's important not again panic and sell your Bitcoin immediately. Bear runs can be unpredictable, and the price may rise again.
If you are a newbie, you can't prevent yourself from getting panic especially if you're into investing for the first time. If you don't have any experience at all with regards to investing, you can't avoid yourself from panicking, and with how volatile Bitcoin is, there are some new investors out there who are making some bad decisions because of them getting panic.

Over time, you will learn how not to panic. Just have experience. You will learn from your experiences.

Do proper research: Before making any decisions, please do your research to know why the price is falling. Look at demand trends, news, and other factors affecting the price fall.
I can't count how many times users here said this, but the unfortunate thing is that no one wants to take time to research. I remember just a few days ago, one of my neighbor scammed I think around 800$ because he invested into a gambling site which turned out to be a scam.

Have a clear investment plan: Before investing, it is important to have an obvious investment plan that aligns with your financial goals and risk tolerance. Stick to your plan to avoid making sudden changes in response to short-term market changes.
When I started investing, I don't have any clear plan at all, but I know that I wanted to invest for my future.
Now after a few years of investing, my clear plan is to invest early so I can retire at a younger age. Younger than the regular employee's retirement age. Different people have different plan when it comes to investing. Follow what the OP said that whatever happens, stick to your plan.

Always remember, the crypto market can be volatile and unpredictable. Make sure to invest wisely and always do your research before making any decisions.
I guess you need to change "can be" to "is" because crypto market is volatile, and it will not change (at least in a few years or decades I guess).
Overall, making research, and being discipline enough to know what to do in certain situations will help you in investing.

I believe that this is the common issue or problem that most people experience during a bear market. We can't blame some people because they are just afraid about their money.
Some could also be new to this market, like new people enter in Bitcoin market and its their first time to experience bear market, I believe they are much more afraid compared to OGs who experienced multiple bear markets/bull markets.

I often hear about how to avoid FUD and panic when bearish. But it's not easy if face it directly. You know, if you have the money decrease significantly in 1 day, normal people will be panic, I'm not sure they'll be okay and still do their daily job without thinking in what happened. Even been a long time and often experience with bearish, I still panic, and want to sell right away. For me, The only way to forget that, is not look the price, and I will closed all about market in interval time. and I will also take a holiday and having fun to place where difficult to access the internet.

One more piece of advice to add to the list: buy the dip.
However, timing dips is tricky and frought with risk. It may so happen that it’s not a dip but the beginning of a long-term price decline like ‘crypto winter.’

All we need to do during Bear Market is to seatback relax, avoid stress, do not be so emotional and hold our Bitcoin. Never ever sell your Bitcoin during bear market because the market would definitely recover from being bearish we just need to be patient. Avoid investing as well during bearish market because our investment might stuck up. Make sure that you had invested only is what you can afford to loose do not invest your funds that you use to sustain your daily financial needs.

I personally just shut off all my access to news sites and just continue with whatever I'm doing. It's way more productive to not know about the market when it's all turning red, most especially if you are a newbie who doesn't have a strong heart on these things. It might even urge you to do a panic sell, which is the worst you can do during these situations. Just ignore the noise and go on with your life; listening to bearish news will not really help you achieve anything anyway.

Whenever the market is experiencing the bear trend, people just keep hold of the bitcoin. Some prefer to increase the holding volume and for that reason get into trading or follow DCA.
You know DCA makes a better strategy in times of FUD. The goodnews is that, you DCA doesn't only works in the bearish market, it as well works in the bulls. The market is full of uncertainties at every point and one cannot really predict what move or trend its going ti take but somehow, you've got to keep investing and what better way to do that and not go break any principles than DCA.

The bears are always going to come around, the FUD would be there to make it seem as thought its all crumbling down but, the weak hands would sell and those who understands or believes in the market would keep om bulling to increase there portfolio. Just visualise it to be better in few years and you might find the courage to buy and hodl.

If it's bear time and you don't want your funds to decrease then there is a solution for that which is to sell your crypto or you can convert it to stable coins. That's the choice you can choose if you are afraid or not willing to risk your funds. If you are willing to risk then you don't have to sell it and wait for the price increase so that you will recover what you have lose during the bear run. It's up to you to decide on what you do and this is only my opinion.

A Bitcoiner chooses. A slave obeys.
Newbie investors are always going to panic sell and they usually do not listen to veteran investors or anyone else's opinion other than their own. They are definitely going to lose money. I think most, if not all, of us went through that "panic-and-sell hell" and I believe it to be part of the learning experience. And any money that the newbie investor loses should be considered a tuition fee. He will have learned a very valuable lesson which he will not forget in the future. And honestly, I think that that learning experience will make him a better investor for it, in the long term.

So thats why I no longer go around warning newbies or trying to catch their attention by throwing caution to the winds. What will be will be.

I am sure that there are quite a few smart ones out there who know who to listen to and actually trust in their words. But they are the exception to the rule.

Those who do not listen must suffer  Grin Tongue Roll Eyes

Whenever the market is experiencing the bear trend, people just keep hold of the bitcoin. Some prefer to increase the holding volume and for that reason get into trading or follow DCA. People who prefer altcoins find it an opportunity to invest at the best price. The altcoins follow the bitcoin market movement most of the time, and for that reason every bearish trend is good for altcoins investment. Some people just change the cryptocurrency holdings into some stable coins to avoid the portfolio value change.

Only the panic investors who had entered the market with fear just keeps on fearing and tend to sell everything. This is mostly benefited by the whale holders who wait for an opportunity to sell low.

A bear run in Bitcoin scares most new investors, some investors might panic and sell their Bitcoin, while others might hold onto theirs with the hopes that the price will rise again.
Let’s be honest not only new investors are scared during the bear market, everyone one is scared and not only new investors do panic and sell, some old investors also sell claiming they will buy back later at the bottom. New investors will panic and sell at lose and might not have the intention to buy back again, most especially the once that don’t really know much about bitcoin, the once that invested because other people are talking about making money with bitcoin.
some general tips for handling a bear run in Bitcoin:
Do not panic: It's important not again panic and sell your Bitcoin immediately. Bear runs can be unpredictable, and the price may rise again.
It’s easier said than done, it’s not easy seeing your money dropping, not everyone is having the mind to hold, and the reason why some people are scared and can’t hold is because the money they invested those not belong to them, some of them invested the amount they will be using in few days or months, incase if their is bear they are always scared and they always decide to cut their loss.

That’s why if you are investing, don’t invest the amount which you will be needing soon, and I do recommend we shouldn’t take loan to invest in bitcoin, so that you won’t be forced to sell when the repayment period is close.

Do not panic:

Evaluate dollar-cost:

Have a clear investment plan:
These are very important when you're investing in Bitcoin which I quoted above and in addition to this, set your own goal in making a profit.
Usually, the most recommended when there's a bear market is to have a DCA way of purchasing Bitcoin until the market will recover from a bear.  You should always remain calm and avoid making any hasty decisions that lead you to become panic selling.

Accumulating more Bitcoin at a lower cost and doing DCA purchases when there's a bear market could lead to higher profits in the future when the market eventually recovers.

If the bear market only just started, it's smart to sell, even at a loss, because you can then buy back cheaper. Problem is, you can never tell a beginning of a bear market from a simple correction that happen during bull market. And these correction can be massive. During the last cycle we saw the price crashing by 50%, which is normally a clear sign of a bearish trend, but that time the price recovered and established a new ATH.


I agree with this but the problem is as you've mention it is difficult for most traders to know if it is just a drop and pump scenario or a real bear market is coming.
For me if you really believe that the price would still increase then just hold your crypto if you could invest more then invest rather than risking the asset that you already have.
I am not against it actually it is a good idea to accumulate more while spending less but the problem is that we don't know if it would continue to drop or it would rise up after selling your crypto and waiting for the price to go lower.

During the bear market, those that have experienced it before will say that it's the best time to stack bitcoin. Because the price of bitcoin by that time is cheap and many don't feel that they should buy it as everyone is selling and has the same feeling, fear.

Evaluate dollar-cost: [..]This means investing a fixed amount of money at frequent intervals, regardless of the price. This can help you avoid buying at a high price and losing money.
There's also the understanding of DCA and that is to buy at any time that you wish. The intervals might not be the same and no patterns, as long as you get to buy it whenever you've got money and yes, that price don't matter at all because as soon as you've got money ready for buying, you'll use it.

You prepare for a beer market when purchasing and not when he beat market starts. When buying Bitcoin I use only spare money and plan how long to hold for, or at best and estimate of the time range before I get my desired profit. This means I'm not moved by the volatility in the market cause I'm not in any need of the money invested.

Evaluate dollar-cost: before buying Bitcoin during a bear run consider dollar rate.
Dollar Cost Averaging does not consider dollar rate. It's just a frequent and regular purchase of Bitcoin or any asset.

Do not panic: It's important not again panic and sell your Bitcoin immediately. Bear runs can be unpredictable, and the price may rise again.

This is not an issue for experienced investors, but new investors will undoubtedly panic and sell their bitcoin to avoid losing it all. However, having a prepared mindset and determination to overcome market trends and volatility will aid in maintaining those bitcoin even during bear market periods.

The entire concept of investment is based on your investment plans and how you intend to attain them in the market. In this situation, fear of market price variation should not change your planned routine for when to acquire more bitcoin or sell for a small profit as the market fluctuates.

As a new investor myself, I can understand why it can be scary to see the price dropping, but I agree that you should not panic and it is important to find out the potential reasons for that. Even if we bought at a higher price, all we have to do is wait long enough for the price to recover again, right? I mean, this has already happened in the past, so there's no reason why it shouldn't happen again, isn't it? It's important not make impulsive decisions based on short-term market fluctuations. Just be patient, and stick to your investment plan.
