Bear markets are where portfolios are built, not celebrated.
After spending years refining my approach, I’ve developed a clear framework for navigating bearish conditions while protecting capital and positioning for the next cycle.
This is my personal blueprint for investing during a bear market.

“Buy in a Bear Market, Sell in a Bull Market” — But How?
We’ve all heard the phrase:
“Buy in a bear market and sell in a bull market.”
It’s true, but incomplete.
Simply saying “buy” offers no guidance on when, how, or with what risk.
Here’s how I actually execute.

1. Enhanced Dollar Cost Averaging (DCA)

Dollar cost averaging is a well known and effective strategy, especially for beginners. It involves splitting capital into smaller amounts and investing gradually over time.
However, DCA should be used with context.
While timing the market is nearly impossible, blindly DCA-ing during strong bullish conditions increases downside risk.
My approach:
- DCA only into high conviction assets
- cus on entries when price is 60 to 70 percent below previous highs
- read purchases across multiple months
Markets always retrace over time, and this behavior is especially common in crypto.

2. Actively Swapping Assets

Bear markets continuously present new opportunities.
You will discover projects you had not noticed before, while some existing holdings may no longer meet expectations.
In these conditions, capital often feels stuck because profits are limited. However, your portfolio itself is capital.
There is no shame in:
- Selling a lower conviction position
- Reallocating into a stronger opportunity
Even if it means realizing a loss, you are not exiting the market. You are upgrading conviction.
Most new opportunities in bear markets are also significantly down from their highs, which keeps relative risk balanced.

3. Stablecoins Are a Position

Holding stablecoins is not inactivity. It is strategic positioning.
A portion of your portfolio should remain liquid and untouched:
- Not for buying every dip
- Not for emotional averaging
This reserve capital is critical when:
- Exceptional opportunities appear
- Presales with strong potential open
- Market dislocations create asymmetric entries
Without free capital, there is no flexibility.

4. Final Thoughts

Buying in a bear market and selling in a bull market sounds easy.
It is not.
We cannot perfectly time bottoms or tops, and attempting to do so often leads to poor decisions. What matters most is having a structured process that keeps you disciplined and adaptable.
This framework helps me:
Manage risk
Maintain flexibility
Build positions with conviction
It works, not because it is perfect, but because it is consistent and disciplined.
Stay patient. Stay liquid. Stay ahead.
