✍️ What is a Bear Market?
A bear market is a period of time in which financial markets experience a sustained decline in prices, typically by 20% or more from their recent highs, and lasts for a relatively long time.
- Common causes of a bear market:
- Economic recession or slowing growth.
- Rising interest rates from central banks.
- Geopolitical crises or global disasters.
- Decreased investor confidence and the spread of fear (FUD).
- Characteristics of a bear market:
- Dominance of fear and pessimism in traders' behavior.
- Mass selling of assets, often at a loss.
- Opportunities for long-term investors to buy assets at low prices.
- Increased search for safe-haven assets such as gold or the dollar.
- How to deal with a bear market?
1. Don’t make emotional decisions.
2. Review your investment strategy.
3. Keep liquidity or invest gradually.
4. Learn from the past – markets always go through cycles.
5. Take advantage of opportunities to accumulate strong assets at a low price.
✍️ A bear market is not the end of the world, but a natural part of the market cycle. The important thing is to be mentally and strategically prepared to get through it.
