It's not news that the cryptocurrency market has been facing a downtrend for some time now in which prople are panicking that would they lose their money, make no returns or profits on investment and on the other hand some people are using this opportunity wisely as a means to build up or Boost their Savings and investment Portfolios
So it's all left to you to either be a Smart Investor or a "Little Chicken" The choice is yours to make
WHAT IS A BEAR MARKET
A bear market is defined by a prolonged drop in investment prices — generally, a bear market happens when a broad market index falls by 20% or more from its most recent high. The reverse of a bear market is a bull market, characterized by gains of 20% or more.
While 20% is the threshold, bear markets often plummet much deeper than that over a sustained period
The words "bear market" strike fear into the hearts of many investors. But these deep market downturns are unavoidable, and often relatively short, especially compared with the duration of bull markets
Bear markets can even provide good investment opportunities.
HERE ARE SMART INVESTING STRATEGIES WHICH YOU CAN DEPLOY THIS PERIOD
▪︎PLAY DEAD
During a bear market, the bears rule and the bulls don't stand a chance. There's an old saying that the best thing to do during a bear market is to play dead—it's the same protocol as if you met a real grizzly in the woods. Fighting back would be very dangerous. By staying calm and not making any sudden moves, you'll save yourself from becoming a bear's lunch.
▪︎ DIVERSIFY
Diversify your assests and investments
How you slice up your portfolio depends on your risk tolerance, time horizon, goals, etc. Every investor's situation is different. A proper asset allocation strategy will allow you to avoid the potentially negative effects resulting from placing all your eggs in one basket.
▪︎Invest Only What You Can Afford to Lose
Investing is important, but so is eating and keeping a roof over your head. It's unwise to take short-term funds and invest them in some coins
YOU should never invest money that they can't afford to lose. Remember, bear markets, and even minor corrections, can be extremely destructive.
Look for Good Values
Bear markets can provide great opportunities for investors. The trick is to know what you are looking for. Beaten up, battered, underpriced assets ,this is also applicable in the stock market
these are all descriptions of stocks during a bear market. Value investors such as Warren Buffett often view bear markets as buying opportunities because the valuations of good companies get hammered down along with the poor companies and sit at very attractive valuations
▪︎ Focus on the long-term
Bear markets test the resolve of all investors. While these periods are difficult to endure, history shows you probably won’t have to wait too long for the market to recover
