What is a True Bear Market in Crypto?

In the volatile world of cryptocurrencies, the term 'bear market' is often mentioned, but few new investors truly understand its implications. Many entered the market in 2020-2021, or in 2024-2025, periods of euphoric rises, and have not experienced the intense bearish phases that have marked the history of cryptos. This article, inspired by a detailed thread on X (formerly Twitter), aims to demystify what a true bear market is, its consequences on prices, projects, and investor psychology, while providing advice on how to prepare for it.

The U.S. Senate has just blocked the Clarity Act (49 in favor, 50 against) and the market absorbs the shock: $571 million in long positions were liquidated in an instant. Bitcoin falls to $75,835 (-1.41%) and Ether plunges to $2,404 (-2.82%). This political rejection sends a clear message: crypto regulation remains a battlefield, not a certainty. Traders who had bet on a favorable outcome find themselves trapped in a brutal liquidation move. How much longer will the market tolerate living under this regulatory sword of Damocles? #ClarityAct #Bitcoin

$BTC à 75 726 $ et $ETH à 2 396 $ : the market absorbs the back-to-school shocks. ETH plunges by more than 3% in 24h while OpenAI targets a valuation of $1,200 billion. Institutional investors are accelerating between AI and crypto, and volatility remains your best ally. Are you playing fear or waiting for the reversal signal? #Bitcoin #Ethereum

141 million dollars in net outflows from Ethereum ETFs in a single day, while ETH plunges to $2,408 with a 3.6% decline. BTC follows suit at $76,016, shedding more than 2% amid rejection of the Clarity Act by the Senate. Institutions are exiting, and it’s a clear signal: the combination of a regulatory vacuum and massive ETF outflows spells nothing good for the short term. How long can this selling pressure last before a solid support level forms? #ETH #Bitcoin

South Korea has just calmed things down for its crypto investors. The appointed Minister of Finance, Lee Hyeong-il, says that 95% of holders own less than 5 million won and that taxation will have a limited impact on the market. A 50% deduction on unproven acquisition costs is added to a 2.5 million won allowance. Enough to reassure people when BTC is down 2.42% to 75 903$ et and ETH has plunged 4.05% to $2 403. Governments that minimize crypto’s tax impact—do they really want to protect the small saver or simply avoid killing a nascent industry? #Crypto #SouthKorea

Market in correction: BTC falls to $75,795 (-2.77%) while ETH plummets to $2,400 (-4.60%), confirming increasing selling pressure on altcoins. BNB holds up better at $714 (-0.73%), signaling a pullback toward quality. BTC volume reaches $1.65 billion over 24 hours, supporting the intensity of the selloff. Key level to watch: the psychological $75,000 zone for BTC. Will you wait for stabilization or look for opportunities in this correction? $BTC $ETH #Bitcoin #Ethereum

The US Senate blocks the Clarity Act: 49 in favor, 50 against, 60 needed to proceed. This bill was finally meant to settle the line between securities and commodities for crypto. The reaction is immediate: BTC drops to 75 684$ (-3.2%) and ETH collapses to 2 401$ (-4.4%). Without a clear framework, institutions stay on the sidelines and volatility worsens. Should we read this blockage as a sign that US regulatory consensus is even further away than we thought? #ClarityAct #Bitcoin

Bitcoin tumbles below $76,000 as the U.S. 10-year Treasury yield reaches 5.04%, a record since July 2007. The rebound of the weekly 50-EMA held for barely two sessions. ETH follows with -6.3%, proving that selling pressure is hitting the entire market. When the risk-free rate pays 5%, capital flees risk and crypto pays the price. Bounce off $75,000 or plunge toward $70,000—what’s your take?

Bitcoin collapses below 76 000$ with a brutality that only surprises those who haven’t looked at bond yields. The 10-year Treasury at 5.04%, its highest level since July 2007, changes the game: why risk a non-yielding asset when the risk-free bond offers 5%? BTC at 75 944$ (-3.09%) has lost the weekly 50-EMA reclaim over two sessions, and ETH follows at 2 405$ (-3.79%). The Fed on Wednesday and especially the BOJ on Friday could trigger a new mechanical carry unwind. The puts priced higher than the calls say it all: the market is hedging, it’s no longer speculating. Does 75 000$ hold, or are we targeting 70 000$ ? #Bitcoin #Fed

Bitcoin falls below $77,000 (-2.06%) in a pressured market, while U.S. Treasury yields surge: the 30-year rate tops 5.40% and the 10-year rate breaks 5% for the first time since October 2023. The Fed meets on Wednesday with a 93% probability of a 25 bps hike, but the yield-curve steepening suggests otherwise: the market no longer believes that rates alone are enough to curb inflation. ETH follows at $2,455 (-1.91%). My take: as long as long yields don’t stabilize, every crypto rebound will remain fragile. Are you buying this pullback, or waiting for the Fed to position yourself? $BTC #Fed

The debate over AI security erupts mid-flight. Dario Amodei calls for slowing down model development, backed by Altman and Musk, while Jensen Huang and Trump address the risks of AI “hoaxes” live on stage, and Michael Burry denounces the hypocrisy of the executives at OpenAI and Anthropic. Wall Street votes with its feet with a marked defensive rotation, and meanwhile BTC dips to 76 908 $ (-1,15%) while ETH slips to 2 475 $ (-1,37%). Who should we believe when the most powerful people in tech can’t even agree with each other anymore? #Bitcoin #AISafety

Strategy did the unthinkable: zero Bitcoin bought last week. MicroStrategy’s dollar reserves fall to $6.4 billion, and meanwhile spot Bitcoin ETFs absorb 160 million $ d net inflows on September 14. BTC trades at 76 921 $ (-1.06%) and ETH at 2 474 $ (-1.72%). This paradox between Strategy’s calm and positive ETF flows is intriguing: is the market looking for its next catalyst? Do you think Saylor is preparing a big move or waiting for a better entry? #Bitcoin #ETF

BTC below $77,000 and ETH below $2,500: the market corrects without surprises. With -1.24% on Bitcoin at $76,929 and -1.97% on Ethereum at $2,473, sellers regain control after the failure of the 80,000 resistance. The Grayscale-XRP narrative could divert flows to the alts, but technically $BTC remains fragile as long as $76,500 does not break. Are you buying at this level or waiting for a retest of the lows? #Bitcoin #Crypto

The CEOs of AI sound the alarm on their own technology and Wall Street panics: Nvidia drops 3.4% while Bitcoin stays strong at 77,785 USD (+0.2%) and ETH at 2,505 USD (-0.3%). Strategy halted its BTC purchases last week; its dollar reserves are shrinking to $6.4 billion. The signal is clear: when tech stocks start to tremble, crypto becomes a safe haven. Tom Lee pushes the thesis of ETH as a copy of Wall Street regulation and AI. Will this split between tech stocks and crypto last, or is it just a rotation? #Bitcoin #Ethereum

Crypto market slightly up this 15 September. $BTC is up +1.5% around 77,953 USD after approaching the psychological resistance of 80,000 USD, a key level to watch to confirm the bullish trend. $ETH follows with +1.3% at 2,516 USD, while $BNB remains nearly stable (+0.08%) at 719 USD, showing a softer momentum. The BTC volume over 24h reaches $1.19 billion, enough to support the trend but without a dramatic push. Action point: a confirmed breakout above 80K would pave the way to new highs, while a move back below 76,600 USD would bring selling pressure back. Do you think Bitcoin will manage to break above 80K this week? #BTC #MarcheCrypto

Bitcoin holds the line at 78 000 $ with a gain of 1.78% over 24h, while ETH follows at 2 513 $ (+1.46%). The probability of a Fed rate hike jumps to 92.7%, a level that should normally cool risk appetite, but the crypto market shrugs it off. Trump’s comments about a possible peace deal with Iran reshape the narrative: oil stays above 100 $ but crypto sentiment takes off. Between geopolitics easing and a Fed increasingly pressured to act, BTC finds itself in a psychologically key zone. Do you think this dynamic holds if rates truly rise? #BTC #Fed

Bitcoin rises to $78,929 (+2.1%) and Ethereum to $2,553 (+1.6%), but the real catalyst for the week comes Tuesday in the U.S. Senate: the final vote on the CLARITY Act. This is the first concrete attempt to provide a regulatory framework for digital assets in the U.S., and it comes right before the Wednesday FOMC where 89% rate hikes are already priced in. A “yes” would send a strong signal that Washington finally accepts crypto as a legitimate asset class; a “no” would plunge the sector back into legal uncertainty. With Bitcoin breaking away from the tech correlation and climbing while AI stocks collapse, the timing couldn’t be more tense. Do you think the CLARITY Act passes this Tuesday? #CLARITYAct #Bitcoin

Bitcoin fractures correlations tonight. $79,106 (+2.27%) while the Nasdaq posts its worst session since July and the dollar falls 1.2%. Ethereum follows at $2,571 (+2.33%), confirming the decoupling between crypto/tech/commodities. The CLARITY Act goes to a vote tomorrow, the Fed decides on Wednesday: the market is already pricing in regulatory clarity. Do you think this decoupling will hold through the week? $BTC $ETH #Bitcoin

Tom Lee views Ethereum as the settlement layer of Wall Street and AI. While semiconductors sink 5.9%, ETH holds steady at $2,532 (+1.1%) and BTC climbs to $78,908 (+2%). The thesis is compelling: tokenization and agentic AI need a settlement infrastructure, and Ethereum is emerging as the hub. But between the rhetoric and the actual institutional flows, there’s a gap that prices haven’t yet bridged. Do you think the institutional narrative around Ethereum is solid—or just marketing to reassure investors? #Ethereum #Crypto
