Now there is a bear market but nobody knows how long it will last.
Bear market is the best time to start investments and buy the tokens for the best price.
For the matter of how long it will last, I think that kind of thing is always difficult for anyone to know because it is more about predicting the future whose certainty is always difficult to predict. So as long as the market is still bearish, I think it's always better to take advantage of it in terms of investing or buying as many good coins as possible before the next pump happens because the dump and pump is always closer now.
Bear markets are devastating for traders because of the dumps of coins. It's also one of the best time to buy coins, whales can bagged as much coins as possible during the bear market and they make sure not to lose their assets in the bear market. Like the last bear market that happen this month, were we witness the sudden dump in price of Terra Luna which dumps from $114 to a $0. Those that invested in Luna for the purpose of long term are in big lose and some even got their trading account ls liquidated. So a trader should have patience in the bear market and also invest what he or she can afford to lose.
