3 Bear Market Moves That Can Pay Off

“If I had only bought the dip” is the mantra that haunts all traders in a bull market. Now we are definitely in the dip, with market cap down nearly $900B over the last six months. Bitcoin is down 35% from its all-time high, Solana 68%, and BNB by 52%. Inexperienced traders get antsy, pull out their money, and miss out on some of the best ways to make significant gains with their holdings. This isn’t really a new story, and one that traditional markets and traders are very familiar with. Smart crypto holders see the cycle and don’t panic, instead they double down and find new strategies to increase their crypto holdings. Here are three ways to find an upside while the market is down:

1. More Crypto, Lower Entry

Most traders don’t possess the funds needed to buy a whole Bitcoin, or even smaller fractions, despite the price dip. Instead of buying a tiny sliver, traders can try to get their hands on larger amounts of digital currency. Leveraged trading was the only method to get a larger chunk of crypto without the cash to pay in full, but that carried significant risks and left traders with big debts and lost assets. 

Lease-to-own (LTO), the model offered exclusively by BitLease, allows users to purchase digital assets with a down payment and pay in installments, and in addition doesn’t carry the risks of leveraged trading. BitLease allows traders to lock in exposure to BTC, ETH, and SOL, and more, while prices are low in a bear market, without a large upfront investment. Users lease crypto with flexible payment plans and immediately receive a title to ownership, similar to a mortgage. In the event of a market recovery, those who utilized LTO own a larger amount of crypto at a lower price. Users can also sell their contracts before the asset is fully paid off, so if prices increase it’s another opportunity for profit during a bull run.

1. Look to New Markets

These days seem to be sideways, without major price movement in either direction. Crypto holders can wait for the market to rise again, or they can start to diversify their portfolios and look to different asset classes, backed by the crypto they already hold. BitMEX offers a way into another market that is garnering a lot of attention with huge movements in the price of USD: the foreign exchange market. BitMEX’s launch of FX perpetual swaps allows traders to 

 major currency pairs using crypto as collateral, without brokers or fiat rails. This essentially extends the crypto trading model into one of the largest markets in the world, and gives traders the potential to leverage their crypto holdings, with derivatives contracts offering up to 100x leverage.  

1. Humans Panic, so Let an Agent Bear the Burden

We would all love a personal assistant, but few have the funds for that level of service. And we would really love a personal assistant who could stare at the crypto market all day to make sense of a bear market. Someone who knows what’s going on in an instant, then acts on our behalf to trade, swap, bridge, stake, research any asset or protocol, and perform complex on-chain actions. But human nature makes us vulnerable to a stress mindset when things aren’t going our way. Mistakes are made, panic buying or selling rarely pays off, and funds are lost because we can’t trust our own judgment. Instead of trying to juggle all of that, traders can use CoinFello to maximize gains while the market is down. It combines crypto wallets with an advanced AI agent through a chat interface that understands what traders want, handles the small details, but critically keeps traders in full control of their funds at all times.
