Bear Market Strategy
How to survive and profit in crypto bear market — DCA, stablecoin holding, shorting.
Bear market is not just a period of suffering — for prepared investors it's a period of greatest opportunity for accumulation.
Strategies in bear market:
1. DCA accumulation • Regular buying in falling market lowers average price • Most successful strategy for majority of retail investors
2. Stablecoin parking • Convert part of portfolio to USDC/USDT • Earn yield (4-8% on Aave/Binance Earn) • Wait for bottom to reinvest
3. Short strategy • Short BTC/ETH perp on bearish bounces • Experienced only — bear market pumps are brutal
4. Fundamental DYOR • Bear market filters — projects without fundamentals disappear • Focus on projects developing during decline (GitHub commits)

6. Staking income • Continue staking — yield accumulates • In falling market, staking APY is relatively higher
