  1. bear market

    A bear market refers to a situation in the financial markets where the prices of securities are falling, and widespread pessimism causes the market's downward spiral to be self-sustaining. It generally means a prolonged period of price declines, typically by 20% or more from recent highs. The term "bear market" is used to describe downturns in stock exchanges, but it can also refer to markets for commodities, currencies, and bonds. Investors anticipate losses in a bear market, hence tend to sell off their assets.
