The market has been on a downward spiral for a while now. How are you supposed to survive? Is it even possible? Let's explore some of the ways we can stay on top of our investments and ensure that we're always ready to weather any storm that comes our way.

Don't Panic

Here's a pro tip: don't panic!

That's right, I said it. Don't panic! What good did 'panicking' ever do?

I know you're probably thinking to yourself: "We're in a bear market! What am I supposed to do?"

Well, first of all, stop panicking and read on. We'll walk this road together, through the storm. Whatever weather, cold or warm! 😂

Understand the Market Cycles

The first step in surviving bear markets is understanding that they happen and that they're cyclical. Up, Down, Up, Down, Up, Down. Sometimes it keeps going up and most of the time it appears to be going down, down, down. BUT, every time the market goes down, it will eventually go back up again. The lesson here is the same as the first one. Don't shit pants when things get hard - it's part of the process and there are ways to profit from it even during these times.

Adopt a Long-term Investment Strategy

The first step is to adopt a long-term investment strategy. This means you should invest in assets that are likely to perform well in bear markets. If you've been following the news lately, you know that there's a lot of uncertainty about how things will pan out. The good news is that there are still some good opportunities out there. For a newbie, it's actually more than obvious.

For example, one of the best investments for bear markets is blue-chip cryptos like Bitcoin and Ethereum. I also consider Hive as a blue-chip and I try to keep stacking apart from the top two. Having a good portion of stablecoins is always recommended to avoid getting affected by market volatility. It also helps you buy more dips as and when they occur. Keep adding to your blue chips and increase your overall pot value over time to have leverage during the next bull run.

Don't Get Fooled by Recovery Signals

In the markets, there are few things more dangerous than getting fooled by recovery signals. The bear market is a long, relentless grind that can make you feel like your investments are worthless and that there's no end in sight. However, it is important to remember that bear markets always come to an end eventually—and when they do, investors often overestimate how much their portfolios will recover because of recent positive market trends.

Realize that what goes down will not necessarily go back up again immediately: If you're tempted to take out those losses on everything and invest in something because your favorite crypto has pumped recently, don't do it! You need first-hand experience before investing again—not just data from others' experiences or advice from other people's opinions about what happened before!

Being Adaptable & Shrewd

To survive the bear markets, you have to be smart and adaptable. There is no one way that works for everyone. In fact, what works in one market might not work in another. It’s important to know your enemy (the bear) and your environment (the markets), but what matters most is understanding yourself: your strengths, weaknesses, and goals.

Understanding the environment will help you decide how much risk you want to take or whether it’s even possible for you to take any at all with your current situation (i.e., do I have enough money for my goal?). Understanding yourself will let you know whether or not those risks are worth taking based on who exactly “you” are – an investor or trader? An aggressive investor who wants quick returns on their investments? A conservative trader who only trades when they see an opportunity? And knowing these things will enable you to make better decisions as a result of being more confident with your choices. Moving forward to keep your momentum high shouldn't be a burden, right?

Conclusion

The bear markets are the time to see if your investment strategy is right or shit! So that you can learn and make it right by the time bull is here. There's no point in panic-selling when you should be adopting a long-term investment strategy to ride out this market cycle. Don't get fooled by recovery signals and make sure that your portfolio is well-diversified so that it sustains even during tough times!
