In a Bear Market, most people have to go through these six stages:

In the first stage, I didn't believe it would drop at all. Looking at the market showing red and still calling it a "technical correction."

In the second phase, the fantasy of a rebound market begins. "Everyone else has risen, so it's my turn now, right?" But what follows is an even deeper pit.

In the third level, it's been tough. The first thing I do every day upon waking is check how much my account has shrunk again, questioning my life.

Level 4, finally seeing the reality. This wave is a true Bear Market, not some choppy consolidation.

Level Five, habits become second nature. If it doesn't drop a few points, it feels abnormal; the mindset has become Zen.

Level six, completely lying flat. The ups and downs can no longer stir any emotional fluctuations, just waiting for the next bull market.

Old coins like XRP, ZEC, and DASH have gone through this in every bear market. The market cycle is that brutal and real.
