For me i prefer the bull market because even when market prices increase within this periods but the value of your coins will also appreciate and give you the opportunity to take profits that's for a short term investor but for the bear market; regardless of the fact that it makes more investors to buy at a lesser price but the bear market is so boring because when investors have bought and are waiting for the price to increase but instead it either continues fall or it will just be experiencing slow volatility so the bull market is preferable because it's always a busy period for investors and that is how the market will become more interesting for traders and hodlers.
