What is a bear market?
A bear market is a term to describe a state in which market prices for securities are falling, typically over a prolonged period. This means that the overall sentiment of the market is pessimistic, with investors selling stocks, bonds, and other financial assets, and buyers are less eager to enter the market. As a result, bear markets are characterized by a downward trend in the stock market and a decline in the overall value of assets, leading to a potential recession. This is in contrast to a bull market, where optimism and investor confidence dominate the market, leading to rising stock prices, and economic growth.
