Maintain Your Strategy: How to Survive and Hunt for Opportunities in a Bear Market

In investing, there is one rule that never changes: Dare to sell when the market is euphoric, dare to accumulate when the market is in panic. When prices are high, recovering some capital is a way for you to still have “bullets” when the market falls sharply, and the feeling of panic spreads. Just like in a battle, reducing your position in a bull market is like pulling your fists back to gather strength; otherwise, when the bear market arrives, you can only sit and watch. Currently, I still hold about 20% BTC in my long-term portfolio, treating it as a “locked treasury” until 2035. The simple reason: I still believe that BTC will maintain an average growth rate of 20% per year over the next 10 years, so this portion is considered a long-term deposit, requiring little intervention. In a bear market, the biggest losers are those who lose patience, always wanting to “catch the perfect bottom”. My plan at this moment is very clear: do not rush, do not charge ahead of the timing, only act when the price truly confirms a stable trend. If the price is not certain, do not dream about an “altcoin season” or other miraculous stories. Currently, we are at the end of a 4-year cycle, and one should not risk their financial life to test their luck. With longer-term plans, I will wait for the market to grind at low levels for 3-6 months, combined with a few bottom indicators appearing, before gradually opening positions. In a bear market, cash is your protective shield, not continuous operations but rather the ability to stay calm and not act recklessly. Holding steady, you will have the chance to survive and hit truly valuable swings.
