“What is a bear market?”
…[Long-winded explanations from financial websites]…
It’s easy: a bear market is one going down (i.e. losing value), and a bull market is one going up (i.e. gaining value).
If the market is looking bearish, the indications are that it is set to fall at least a little, while the opposite is true for a bullish market.
If lots of investors/analysts say a market is either bearish or bullish, then it tends to be a self-fulfilling prophecy as the people with money listen to them and then act accordingly. This is where the vicious circle bit comes in, and why me see market “corrections” in both directions.
It’s easy, honest. And not just because I work with the markets every day!
