Stages of the bear market?
The market bearish sentiments have been heightened by three significant incidents in the past weeks. One was the collapse of the Luna ecosystem, resulting in huge losses for investors, which was followed by the Celsius saga. Next was the reported liquidation of the hedge fund, Three Arrow Capital by BlockFi.
Blockwork co-founder Jason Yanowitz, described the stages of a bear market in a Twitter thread, mentioning three stages, he said we are in stage two. The first stage he called “The Unwind”, and it is the greed and excitement of the bull market still exist. Where investors believe the pullbacks are normal market corrections.
The second stage he called Forced Capitulation, “this is where it gets ugly”, he said. Price fall 90%, companies layoff. There have been mentions of companies laying off workers.

According to Jason, Luna was the catalyst of stage 2. Diamond hands are forced to sell because they have to.
The third stage is where companies will shut down, regulators will come knocking, and prices will move slowly up and down. He called this stage “Bottomles Exhaustion”. The Blockwork co-founder also did share a piece of advice “Don’t lose sight of the big picture”.
