So Bitcoin has dropped sharply to the mark of 72000 USD from the ATH of 129000 USD back in October 2025, signaling that we are in a bear market season. The bear market is a time when the whole market is gloomy, so the strategy will definitely have to be different from the bull market.

So what strategies should we have in the bear market season? Here are some things everyone should do!!

DCA/Buy The Dip Good coins

This is one of the strategies that investors leverage in a sharply declining market. No matter how much the market drops, there will eventually be a recovery. However, this only applies to top coins with good fundamentals, prioritizing BTC, ETH, BNB, and SOL.

Additionally, if the coins that you have analyzed well for the upcoming season, this is an opportunity to DCA.

Short to earn

Since the main trend is downtrend, when the market recovers, you should watch for coins touching major resistance levels and short down to earn short-term profits. However, if you do not have trading skills, it can be quite risky and may easily lead to losses if the market does not move as expected. Therefore, always remember the golden rule in investing: Only invest what you are willing to lose without affecting your external life.

Review your investment portfolio

Each season is a new cycle, and the market develops and operates differently. Trends, narratives, and coins that may have been good and grown in the previous season may not be as good in the new season. Therefore, research and plan carefully for the next season.

Make a long-term investment plan

Having a plan is essential for your investment portfolio. You can easily make hasty decisions when prices are dropping. However, these decisions often lead to greater losses. Therefore, instead, have a clear plan for how to approach the market and stick to it no matter what.

It is easy to get caught up in daily price fluctuations, so it is important to remember long-term investment goals.

Always save stablecoin

When the market enters a downtrend, we cannot predict where the bottom will be; today it may drop, and tomorrow it may drop even more, so always save stablecoin for all situations.

Patience

Always 'Be patient - be patient - be patient.' The bear market can be frustrating for investors, but it is important to remember that there can be no bull market without a bear market. Smart money often operates vigorously in bear markets awaiting market recovery. Therefore, they will be in a better position to take advantage of the next price increases and make profits during that time.

Work-to-earn

Bear market is a very good time to focus on your main source of income outside the market. Because during the bear market, money will not be easy to earn, so
you should take advantage of this time to work, develop skills, and build additional stable cash flow. Having steady cash flow will help you maintain a stronger mentality, not feeling pressured to 'all-in' or enter trades at the wrong time. For many, work-to-earn is the foundation for accumulating capital for the next bull market cycle.

Build relationships in crypto

Bear market is the time when most people leave the market. Those who remain are often builders, long-term investors, and true smart money. Proactively participate in quality communities, exchange knowledge, share perspectives, and support each other. A good relationship can provide you with early information, new insights, and opportunities that money alone cannot buy. In crypto, a strong network can sometimes be more important than money.

Take the opportunity to supplement your knowledge

When the market declines sharply, this is the ideal time to learn and upgrade yourself. Learn more about technical analysis, on-chain, macro, tokenomics, or new trends that may explode in the next cycle. Usually, those who leave when the bear market arrives will persevere and stay during this time to accumulate and will gain a significant advantage when the market returns to an uptrend, helping you feel more confident in choosing projects and making investment decisions.

Take care of your health

Last but not least, pay attention to your physical and mental health. A prolonged bear market can easily cause many people to feel stressed, lose motivation, or become obsessed with prices. Maintain a healthy lifestyle, get enough sleep, exercise, and balance life outside the market. A healthy body and stable mind will help you make wiser decisions and stay in the crypto market for the long haul.


Conclusion:

The 2024-2025 season can be said to be the worst season ever since the crypto market was formed. However, with the enormous potential of the market, I think this is just a temporary challenge for those who are patient enough to stay despite bull runs or bear markets to reap the rewards in the future. Once again, I wish you all success and stay alert!!
