They have so many people in here are expert on when the bull market or bear market. But for me i'm just holding my coins that ill have and wait the kind of bull market or bear. All i need to sell my coins into a high price but for now it cant because the market was always in red situation and low prices of coins. So it was hard to trade or sell my coins so ill need to wait a little more.
Even a newbie will always claim to be an expert when it comes to a bullish market as my grandma can even call market shots in those periods. The best time to know how good you are and to learn as much as you can when it comes to making good market decisions is during a bear market as that would really enhance your experience when it comes to trading a difficult market and when the easy one comes, you will find it so amusing in the long run.
Crypto market is different from vegetable market or traditional market. No one can predict in terms of price. We really need a lot to learn about mistakes in a bearish market. Don't lose continuously. Keep the spirit!
Even in the vegetable market or the traditional market, can you predict exactly what would happen to the price of the items you want to buy tomorrow? Not at all and even though some of them are fixed, they can be changed. No one can predict the future and that is the best way to always look at things. However, the readiness to learn is one thing that a lot of people really do not take into consideration and like the OP said, the best time to always learn is when conditions are not naturally favorable.
someone recently said this phrase: only in this market we really can learn to trading. And I think he's right, because everyone can make money in a growing market, but not on this like now. It's time to learn and gain experience.
