00:00what's up guys welcome back to the channel in today's video we are talking about the bulls
00:05and the bears and you as an investor whether you are a bullish investor or bearish investor
00:13and some of the strategies that you can actually use to invest and trade during different phases
00:20of the market so we do understand that in the market there are three key things that tend to
00:26stand out which are the market cycles themselves where you know you have these bullish forces in
00:33the bearish forces and the investors getting caught up in the middle and all of these do play a pivotal
00:39role in the complex world of financial markets whether that's in crypto or forex or in the stock
00:46markets so exploring their behaviors is very crucial to us understanding the key influences
00:53and also what type of strategies we can actually employ during different times of the market so
01:00if you're interested in knowing and learning a lot more about this make sure you hit that like
01:05and the subscribe button and don't forget to head on over to our main site decentralized.news and
01:10always check out the links in the description so what is a bullish market it's typically sort of
01:17stated as a time where there's a growth in the market so the bull symbolizes that rising market
01:25it's characterized typically by optimism increasing values of our assets and also just a consumer
01:33confidence in general and some of the key indicators might include things such as GDP growth if we're
01:40looking at macro factors also some favorable fiscal policies whether that's the fade lowering rates
01:48etc as an example or some positive consumer sentiment if we're getting data that consumer spending is
01:55going up and some of the strategies that people tend to use in the book market include setting up a
02:01long position so long positioning is when you're buying when prices are very low and selling when prices
02:08are high and you can also use what we call call options okay so this is where you secure an option to
02:16buy at a specified date capitalizing on the anticipated growth or you can use what we call long ETFs
02:24which are funds that are actually designed to increase in value as the market also rises so now that
02:32we've sort of defined what a bull market is and what characterizes it let's talk about the bear
02:38market okay this is a phase in the market where there's a decline contrary to the bull this is
02:44obviously signifying a falling market where there's a lot of pessimism falling prices as well in the
02:51market in general economic downturn all around and there are different strategies that you can also use in
02:57a bear market where you can open up things such as short positions when you sell when prices are high
03:04and then buy when they're low and you can also use what we call put options and this is obtaining the
03:11right to sell at a specific price which you are sort of using a tool like that to hedge against any potential
03:17losses you can also short ETFs which are funds that actually increase in value as the market also decreases
03:26offering that counterbalance to declining markets so the market phases themselves are something that we need to
03:32understand if we want to obviously get a firm grasp on the market cycle so markets typically follow through a cycle in
03:40three phases I would characterize these as the expansion phase where you have growth a job creation and general
03:49economic well-being in the market you have a peak which is now sort of the top of the market or the zenith where you
03:56know you experience this we call this the parabolic phase of the bull run where there's everybody is just sort of a
04:02hype and this is just before the downturn and then you have those contraction phases of course that are
04:09marked by a reduced consumer spending and economic slowdown and we have this trough phase where you know
04:16this is the lowest phase which eventually leads to a new cycle of growth it's kind of like what we've seen
04:23over the last few months okay even though you know arguably we are kind of in a bull market if we're looking at
04:30btc and the prices uh that it is sort of come up to 29 30k from the lows of 15 16k so let's talk about some of
04:41these macro and micro economic uh sort of factors that also influence these market dynamics so there are
04:48several factors uh that obviously are behavioral when we're looking at bull markets and a bear market so
04:55some of the micro factors include something uh as simple as just changes in gdp for example
05:01unemployment rates you can look at our central banking policies and then you can look at some
05:06other micro factors such as in individual sectors companies or commodities that are sort of going
05:13through their own cycles so we then have to shift our focus on you as an investor and some of the
05:19investor behaviors so we should just be aware of if we want to understand the psychology of markets so
05:25understanding this psychology also drives um is what is sort of key to understanding what drives
05:31the market movement so you are able to then you know sort of position yourself appropriately so the
05:37things such as like the prospect theory which is like a psychological evaluation of potential gains
05:42and losses you have things that you know you have to be wary of such as head behavior we call that
05:48formal encryption where you know there's a tendency to just follow the majority often this actually
05:53leads to bubbles and crashes and you also have you know kind of these behavioral finance factors that
05:58you have to sort of keep in mind like analyzing how psychological factors are actually affecting
06:04these market trends and then you can then step up into this phase where you can strategically plan
06:09to maximize your own profits so you know navigating this ever-changing market means that you know
06:15you're required to have you're required to have these adaptive strategies so there are a few you know
06:20you could talk about trend following for example which is aligning your investments with current
06:25market trends this can be sometimes good in a bull market for example where you know you know the
06:32new market participants company coming in the whole you know kind of market is buzzing the new narratives
06:37things are sort of looking fun and optimistic like what we saw in the last bull run where you know nfts were
06:45really a thing and everything seemed to be going up over a period of time where you can kind of just
06:51you know follow the trends you know take those long positions obviously albeit in a very short term
06:57and you could make uh some maxim uh so you know maximize your chances of really getting good profits
07:02but of course that can also go wrong if things just all of a sudden abruptly shift to the other side
07:09you can then look at something like adaptive strategies that include constantly sort of having
07:14to re-evaluate and adjusting your investment approach also you know looking at diversification
07:19management uh where you know you're spreading your investments across different sectors to sort of
07:24minimize your risk but at the end of the day you want to achieve some balance and success
07:28in financial markets obviously these are sort of things that have this intricate dance between you
07:35know growth and declines opportunities and risks that's why you have these bull markets and bear
07:40markets and recognizing the distinct characteristics of these markets whether it's a bull market or bear
07:46market and understanding the influences that guide them also applying these adaptive strategies is
07:51essential for you to actually um succeed as a new or a experienced investor and obviously the
07:58wisdom in itself just lies in knowing when to take advantage of a bull's growth and when to also
08:04prepare for bear market embracing change and uh remaining a little bit agile so whether you're
08:09aiming to capitalize in a bullish crypto market or navigating trends in stocks or you know just
08:16you know a whole lot of things you know having this uh knowledge is essential so you can have
08:22thoughtful strategies that can actually pave a way to somewhat offer a successful investment
08:28strategy so the bull and bear market cycles uh you know they do impact the market in different ways
08:34whether that's in crypto forex stocks etc so i'm just going to give you a little breakdown so you can
08:39kind of understand how these dynamics would play out in each of these different markets so let's say
08:44in the stock market in a bull cycle you are having a whole lot of optimism of course increased
08:50buying activity rising stock prices at the same time you also have these influences such as a strong
08:57economic fundamentals such as low unemployment rising gdp and corporate earnings as well
09:03and you then have these strategies like a long positioning and buying promising stocks
09:08futuristic things a lot of people buzzing with ai and things like that and then holding them as they
09:14appreciate but in a bear market in the stock market you know this is obviously a period where there's
09:19going to be a lot of pessimism increased selling activity and stock prices will be falling as well
09:25and of course some of the influences are these market downturns increased unemployment decreased
09:30consumer spending if you look in the macro uh climates then also you can use strategies such as
09:35short selling hedging with options and also diversifying to protect your portfolio if you want to
09:40in the forex market you can sort of uh just uh sort of look at it in a way we're in the bull market
09:46you've got a rising currency values strong demand for particular currency so we've seen uh the u.s dollar
09:52sort of go on a rip over the last few years and then sort of started to kind of retrace now you've
09:58got these influence that are positive economic indicators in any country that you sort of obviously
10:03hedging uh you know your markets uh in uh if they have a favorable interest rates and there's political
10:10stability there and you can have strategies where you know you're buying the strong currency selling
10:14the weaker ones using leverage to maximize those gains that's why you see a lot of uh uh sort of forex
10:21markets have like 1000x leverage and crazy uh sort of because obviously the the markets tend to
10:28fluctuate uh with very small percentages of points uh at any given time so at the end of the day as
10:35well in uh in the bear market then you know you can expect in that forex market to have a falling
10:42currency values weak demand and for particular currencies also just the influences of the macro being
10:49you know negative economic trends in in the particular countries unfavorable interest rates
10:54we've seen that interest rates have really peaked right now we also saw the u.s getting a downgrade in
10:59the credit rating also political instability when you're seeing a lot of uh uh polarity like uh
11:06you know like a populism and a whole lot of economic instability uh and you know you can use
11:11strategies such as selling the weak currencies and buying the stronger ones hedging against those
11:16currency declines uh like you know kind of uh getting rid of some of those fiat and kind of
11:21getting into the dollar which tends to be one of the strong performers whenever like uh you know forex
11:27um or like uh currency markets are going uh down so in the crypto market of course this is what we
11:34really try to focus on in a bull market you've got uh growing interest in crypto obviously crypto is
11:40still on that uh adoption curve that is uh rising steeply so you see more market participants coming
11:46in rising prices trading volumes tend to also spike up and also if you're looking at the influences you're
11:53looking at our positive regulatory laws when you see some countries maybe adopting or regulating cryptos
11:59in a positive way you see some technological advancements in the space with things like defy
12:06uh you also see a wider adoption of these cryptocurrencies and also you can use certain
12:13strategies such as investing in uh some promising projects you tell you know getting in early on those
12:19projects while the uh tokens for them are still relatively cheap using crypt derivatives as well like
12:26futures and options in order for you to just increase your gains so if you want to obviously do that you
12:31can also check out the links in the description to some of my favorite uh decentralized exchanges that

12:49market you're also seeing this declining interest people are not really interested in what's going on
12:53in this space falling prices we've seen markets crash over the last two years low trading volumes is
12:59something that's really been prevalent over the last year or two and also you can see some of the
13:04negativity in terms of the regulatory news you see the sec and things like that just really attacking
13:09crypto companies their security breaches we've just recently seen curve getting hacked and things like
13:15that and there's just generally a low confidence in the technology and some of the strategies you can
13:20use there then would be short selling uh diversifying using maybe stable coins if you think they're safe
13:26moving to cash and cash like positions but through you know all of this you know the basic nature of the
13:31bull and bear markets remains consistent across most of these sectors and uh the strategies the
13:37influences and uh all of that uh also do vary in the stock market you know economic conditions often
13:43play the most significant role in forex markets macroeconomic policies interest rates and geopolitical
13:48factors are pretty key and in the crypto market you've got the technology the regulation and market sentiment
13:53being uh pretty much the driving forces so understanding these nuances and adapting your strategies
