Bear Market
Definition
Bear Market generally refers to a market condition in which asset prices tend to decline and investors are generally inclined to sell.
Bear Market refers to a period when prices in the crypto market or financial markets generally tend to decline and a negative atmosphere prevails. During this period, investors usually take measures to sell their assets or protect their positions by anticipating that prices will fall further. Bear markets typically occur as a reaction to rising prices in a particular asset or market over a period of time and are influenced by factors such as loss of confidence among market participants, economic uncertainty, or negative news. During this period, prices generally show instability with low trading volume and investors act more cautiously. A bear market is generally defined as a prolonged downtrend during which prices may take some time to reverse or recover. While bear markets make risk management important for investors, low prices may present buying opportunities for some investors.
