PHASES OF A CRYPTO BEAR MARKET

Crypto markets, in general, is a very novel space with not a lot of history. However, here’s how bear markets in traditional financial markets tend to work.

Bear markets typically consist of four distinct stages:

• High prices characterize the first phase. After this period, investors begin to exit the markets and collect gains.
• In the second phase, asset prices and trading activity decline,  company earnings decline, and previously optimistic economic indicators deteriorate. As the mood begins to deteriorate, some investors experience fear, a condition known as capitulation.
• The third phase is when speculators join the market, increasing prices and trade volume.
• Crypto continued to fall in the fourth and final phase, albeit slower. As lower prices and optimistic news re-attract investors, bear markets eventually transition into bull markets.
