Do not sleep on the idea that bear market can lasted another two years like 2018 and 2019, this time it might just take another 200days for a bear market to be over, start buying at every dips instead of waiting.
While people still think that the bear market will continue for another 1 to 2 years, the market is likely to recover shortly after that. Markets are unpredictable and often don't go the way we think. So stop speculating, at the current price it's better to start buying than to wait and regret later.
It's true than we speculate about what happened but without any real action, I think it's pointless. We can buy slowly while analyzing a market that is in an unwanted trend. Most people don't want a bear market to happen for a long time, but then again something unexpected might happen in the near future.
