What is a bear market?

A bear market, also known as a market downturn, refers to a period when asset prices begin to fall by at least 20% compared to the previous peak. In this phase, the market is characterized by pessimism and uncertainty, and investors are more likely to sell their assets, fearing further declines. When market sentiment is negative, a sell-off often occurs, further exacerbating the decline. Unlike a bull market, a bear market can lead to significant losses if appropriate measures are not taken. Investors try to protect their capital by selling risky stocks and investing in safer instruments, such as bonds or gold.

This is exactly what we are seeing in the market right now. For retail investors, it is a good opportunity to catch their entry point and wait for events that could trigger a reversal. However, be cautious; the process can drag on for months or even years, so invest wisely!
