We can also make profits in bearish conditions but we need to wait for a right entry and exit levels. Sustaining prices in bearish market is a very good entry point but you need to take profits as quicker as possible because market may fall down again at any time. I agree that we should maintain our trades with small profits which be good especially in this bearish market conditions.

It's not as hard as it may seem to benefit from a bear market. All you have to do as average trader/investor is to open a short, and have it do its work in the months, or even years it's slowly going down. The only thing you have to carefully look at is the leverage multiplier you use. Too high could work against you in case the market pumps beyond what you thought was the top.

2x leverage as long term short works perfectly fine since it allows you to catch up a move in the other direction without any problems. People's problem is that they use 10x or even 25x in some cases, which either means they are gambling and hope to score big very fast, or have a stop loss set just a few % in the other direction. I prefer to let the market do its thing because it's impossible to time correctly.

There is always that unpredictable range you have to take into consideration.
