What is a bear market?
It’s when the price of an asset falls 20% or more from its recent peak and stays there for weeks or months. It’s not just a simple pullback: it’s a structural shift where selling pressure takes over.
In crypto, bear markets tend to be deeper (a 50–80% drop) and can last between 6 months and 2 years. Bitcoin has been through several: 2018, 2022—each followed by new all-time highs.
Why does it happen? Liquidity cycles, previous overvaluation, negative events and, above all, a shift in sentiment. In a bear market, every bounce gets sold until the market capitulates and finds a bottom.
The important thing: it’s not the end of the world, just a phase of the cycle. The best entry prices tend to come when everyone is afraid.
