One of the characteristics of a bear market is complacency, lack of interest and downright boredom. The lack of volatility really drives people away especially those looking at other more exciting prospects. There are TONS of interesting projects in the crypto space and Bitty is just not that fun to play with right now unless you use massive leverage on really short moves but that can rekt you quick. For every one else . . yawn.
Rule of thumb in any market is that Bear duration is typically 2X bull duration and according to Glassnode, despite some unique analytic characteristics and looking at realized price and long term HODLER convictions, we're comparatively only about 1/2 way through when looking at previous bear cycles.
Honestly, I don't see how we don't get at least one more drop to 16k-ish if this current doldrum isn't just some kind of stabilized distribution. Dunno for sure but I def wouldn't put all of my eggs into the BTC basket here.
DCA is the way friends.
Good luck and as always, not investment advice.
