Has the crypto bear market already started?
The recent decline in the crypto market has led to speculation that it may have entered a bear market. However, the definition of a bear market in crypto differs from that of traditional stock markets. A 20% decline is common in crypto and does not necessarily indicate a bear market. The term "prolonged" is important in defining a bear market, with the decline lasting at least a few months. The crypto realm distinguishes between a bull run and a bull market, with the latter being a prolonged period of rising prices characterized by corrections and rebounds. Bitcoin is currently down 25% from its January highs, but it would need to drop below $70,000 to be considered in a bear market. Ethereum is at a greater risk of entering a bear market, but if Bitcoin bounces back, it could have a similar effect on ETH. Some altcoins are already in a bear market, with significant declines in their prices. The overall market capitalization of cryptocurrencies has dropped by 30%, but this doesn't necessarily indicate a bear market. The possibility of a bear market in 2022 is a hypothesis, and it is uncertain when a bear market will occur. Bitcoin's price and performance will likely play a significant role in determining if a bear market occurs. It is important for Bitcoin to hold above certain price levels to avoid entering a bear market.
