Bear Market

By: WEEX|2024/10/21 05:19:25

A bear market refers to a prolonged period of declining asset prices, generally characterized by a downturn of 20% or more in a financial market. In the context of cryptocurrency, a bear market is marked by widespread pessimism, declining prices across the board, and lower trading volumes. During bear markets, investor sentiment turns negative, and many traders opt to sell their assets in anticipation of further price drops. For instance, the crypto bear market of 2018 saw Bitcoin’s price fall from its all-time high of nearly $20,000 to below $4,000 within a year. Bear markets often lead to significant losses for short-term traders but can also offer long-term investors an opportunity to accumulate assets at lower prices, with the expectation of future recovery.
