For me a bearish market is very normal, it is something natural and that every speculative market must have, we cannot be in a market where it is only bullish, because it is very likely that it will have flaws, some will become a big bubble, then the interpretation of a bear market for me is something normal, where you have to take advantage of buying, to accumulate everything you can, so that when there is an ATH you can sell and make a profit, I think that's what you know how to look for, what they normally say about buy low and sell high, I think it's the quickest explanation. In every bearish market there must be a bullish trend, this is an equilibrium.
I agree with you, because many people used bearish season to buy more coins so that whenever the bullish season come they will have something good to achieve from their investment in the community. Once the bearish market started happening in the community, and many traders will make use of the opportunity to buy and hold because they know that bullish market is about to appear for those that used the opportunity to buy a huge amount of coins to get ready to see massive pumping that will help long and short term traders to achieve a good income from their investment.
that's what it should be. buy when the situation in the market is a lot of discounts. although it looks bad when the market continues to fall. but actually it is part of the opportunity for long-term profit.
simply buy more assets and hold them for the next bull season. and we will benefit. just being patient may be all it takes. And of course, don't panic.
