Believe me, one should never fear about the bear market. It is just the ups and down in terms of its market cap and it should not matter to you if you are skilled in different types of trading techniques. For example, if you know what margin trading is and what day trading is then you dont need to worry about the prices of coins, there time period etc because when you make trade then you make it within specific time period when the bear and bulls doesnt matter at all. Because in that specific time period any coin will go up and down by few % leaving behind some % profit for you. I guess a day trade which last from few minutes to 24 hours should not get affected with the bear or bull trends. 
Indeed we need not to fear in bear, because volatility of cryptocurrency will always be present. As we all know bull is trap, so won't be able to see better price but rather a stable one. Seldom I made few amount of money, but not with last year's journey gaining higher amount of profit was a good experience so far. Just trust crypto will recover back, and the trend will have to climb up again to restore what has been lost.
