Executive summary: Why Are We In A Bear Market? When Will It End? (Summer 2022)
A temporary rally aside, the bears are still in control of the summer 2022 market. I cover how we got into this mess, how it compares to previous crypto bear markets, what the near future holds for crypto, and what could delay the start of the next bull market.
What you will learn:
- The state of the crypto markets in the summer of 2022.

- Compared to the early crypto bear markets, the last few were more influenced by macro factors and industry contagion.
- Price-based capitulation looks over for the most part but time-based capitulation is still in its early phase.
