I don't feel that it is a bear market, Bitcoin rise and drop a lot but is still doing fine, but all the rest of my alt coins still seems to be sleeping.
I also do not consider that this time is bearish, because I have never experienced a bull run this year, if this bearish is based on the price in 2017 this is actually a very safe and stable price, bitcoin has recovered a little. but it hasn't returned at its best.
