According to Miles Deutscher, during bearish periods, the viability and long-term potential of a cryptocurrency project can be assessed by observing activity and transactions. Projects that continue to develop and have teams that buy their own tokens are considered positive indicators for accumulation. Conversely, projects that become inactive or have key team members leave are viewed as negative indicators.

According to Michaël van de Poppe (@CryptoMichNL), there is a strong likelihood of the market trending significantly higher for an extended period, contrary to the majority's expectations during bearish phases. Van de Poppe suggests that in extreme bearish environments, traders often underestimate the probability of market upswings, similarly to how they overlook potential corrections during steep upward movements.
