With the current market conditions and experts suggesting a bear market is on the horizon, a new risk analysis model holds that the probability of a bear market is at its highest in the last 70 years. Going back to the 1950s, the model shows the probability of a bear market at 0.75, much lower than what it is today. This has been confirmed by Game of Trades who suggests that investors now should “buckle up.” Gareth Soloway, chief market strategist of InTheMoneyStocks.com believes the next bear market will be “atrocious” and “sugarcoated” by the US Federal Reserve, who has predicted a "transitory" recession.

Contrary to the broader market, bullish sentiment and behaviour is being seen in the cryptocurrency space with Bitcoin (BTC) recording its fourth consecutive month closing with a green candle across many trading platforms. This has given confidence to crypto volatility and investors that the asset may be a hedge against inflation, as popularised by Robert Kiyosaki's best-selling personal finance book, 'Rich Dad Poor Dad.'

The current market conditions have been described as turbulent with investors needing to be wary when assessing risk and potential investment opportunities. The continual bear market outlook along with the transient nature of the Fed's predictions in other assets requires investor to be aware of the changing climate and to not underestimate the potential risks. It is usually best practice to do extensive research and gather as much data in order to make an educated decision regarding any investments. Despite the bullish sentiment seen with Bitcoin, advice is still to diversify portfolios and keep an eye on the market 's fragility during these uncertain times.
