many coins have the potential to skyrocket when bearish
Only when bearish? But, potential should be already seen right at the start although a bearish can give coins a boost to reach higher prices.
during a long bear market the low prices will last for months or even years which means that when very few people are investing in a market you can take an enormous position and once the bull market comes your profits will be amazing.
We don't know how will the bear or even the bulls will last but for this year, we can say that bear have lasted for a long time because many months have already passed and yet the prices of the coins are still the same, they hardly improved. Many says that the bear market can continue for some months or it takes a whole year in order for it to end. That was long but we shouldn't worry. Not a few but a lot of people have invested already while some are waiting for another drop before they start buying.
