Whats most important is actually how price is actually moving within its upward and downward movements. In bear markets, price moves down impulsively (red moves down) and then it corrects upwardly in a choppy fashion (circled in blue). In bull markets there is a clear behavior change in the price action. Instead of choppy and weak off the low, we get an impulsive move up (in green, specifically take note of the 3rd wave in purple) and now the price is moving down in a correction fashion into support. The exact opposite how price moves in a bear market. This is how you know the trend has changed and the bear market is likely over (as long as we hold support). bitcoin:native
