-So, is this the beginning of the bear market?

-No, I don't think it is.

-But the entire market is pessimistic and the behavior looks bearish as hell!

-Yes, it does.

-And this normally doesn't happen in bull markets!

-It does. Maybe not for this long but...

-How do you explain it?

-New money coming in from ETFs and the last halving, we are essentially entering unexplored territory.

-So is this the banks? The whales?

-I don't think we can blame a market on just a few players, even big ones.

-Why not? it's obvious they want to collapse the market before a theoretical run, in case there is one, during the US election!

-Big players might shake the market, but if small/newbie players react and panic, it's on them.

-That doesn't answer the question, is this a bear market signal or not?

-I see it as a signal that we're about to enter the strongest, insane part of the bull run, yes. In a way, it is a signal of a future bear market, but not an immediate one.

-So what do you do?

-I'll pick up things from people mass panicking, wait for the last leg, and then start selling.

-That is horrible! You're going to take advantage of innoce...

-Of people's lack of professionalism, yes.

-You think only of your economy and not of anyone else's...

-So?
