Bear Market Types in the Current Market Environment: Opportunities and Risks During Non-Farm Weekend

While Bitcoin (BTC) is trading at $68,796 tonight (+3.62%) and Ethereum (ETH) stands at $2,046.67 (+4.98%), a central question dominates the market: Is a dramatic price crash imminent? The upcoming week will once again bring critical Non-Farm Payroll data—and market sentiment remains tense. Analyst Saoge provides an overview of the current market dynamics this evening and warns of various types of bears currently at work.

Different Types of Bears and Their Tactical Moves

This week, bears are showing their aggressive side. Different bear strategies can be observed: some attempt to lure traders into higher zones with fake-outs to liquidate long positions there. Others exploit low liquidity to artificially push prices down. The common goal: they seek optimal entry points for further sell-offs. Those already in the loss zone yesterday should stay calm—panic buying is risky. Only if the position is less than 1% of total assets, a buy-back during price dips is advisable, but only in 0.5% increments.

The Second Bottom: Volume Signals Indicate Caution

A second bottom is forming at very low trading volume—this is a classic warning sign. From a technical perspective, demand is currently lacking to sustainably establish new lows. However, there was a strong increase last night, raising fears that the rally is not over yet. The missing volume confirmation means: another price rise could just as quickly collapse again. Trading geometry suggests that bears of various types are currently waiting for a higher entry point—they are patient.

Non-Farm Week: When Bears Take Control

Monday, Wednesday, and Friday will again bring Non-Farm data. Market observers expect negative surprises, which is not a positive sign for bulls. The market has already liquidated two waves this week—bears will not hesitate to strike a third time. Solana (SOL) is trading at $84.27 (+7.52%), but here too: recoveries could be traps. Different types of bears are skillfully using recovery pauses: some are aggressive and push prices down, others are patient and wait for margin call levels.

Practical Strategy: Hedge Against Bears

Saoge recommends, despite early signs of recovery this morning: avoid overly ambitious long positions. A recovery is likely by tomorrow evening, but that doesn’t mean large positions should be built. Instead: small position trades with stop-loss at the first test. The reason is simple—bears of various types are currently dominant, bulls are avoiding their sharpness. Those who still want to build positions should stay small, set stop-losses, and only buy on breakthroughs of key resistance levels. Non-Farm week remains a minefield for risky positions.

The message for the weekend: caution is better than regret. Bears appear in many forms and strategies—only those who understand these moves and hedge appropriately will get through the coming days safely.
