// Definition
A bear market is a long period in which prices are generally falling.
Explained simply
In a bear market, lower highs and lower lows dominate the bigger timeframes, and rallies tend to be sold.
Bear markets also have strong rallies along the way, which often trap traders who think the bottom is in.
Tip
Protect capital first in a bear market. Smaller positions and tighter rules help you get through it.
For education only, not financial advice. Trading is risky and you can lose money.
