Understanding Market Dynamics
Current market conditions are being analyzed through three potential scenarios: the onset of a bear market, a pullback within a bull market, or the conclusion of a four-year market cycle. The consensus among analysts is leaning towards a pullback in an ongoing bull market, which does not equate to a bear market. Historical trends suggest that significant drawdowns have occurred even during bull markets, as seen in 2021 when Bitcoin and Ethereum experienced substantial declines of over 50%. Recognizing these patterns may help to alleviate current investor fears and enable a more balanced perspective on market fluctuations.
