Who are Bears?
Bears are a term used in financial markets to describe traders or investors who believe that the prices of certain assets will fall. They act based on the belief in a downward market trend and may sell assets to profit from future price declines.
Main characteristics of bears:
🔵Bears are pessimistic and expect the market or a specific asset to decrease in price.
🔵Bears sell stocks, bonds, commodities, or other financial instruments, expecting their value to fall.
🔵Bearish investment strategies focus on profiting from price declines. This may include short selling and other methods to earn from the decreasing value of assets.
🔵A prolonged period of falling market prices is called a bear market. During such periods, the economy may experience difficulties, and investor sentiment remains negative.
Examples of bear behavior:
🔵An investor borrows stocks and sells them on the market, expecting the price to drop, so they can buy them back at a lower price and return them to the lender, keeping the difference.
🔵Bears may invest in assets traditionally considered safe during economic downturns, such as gold or government bonds.
Impact of bears on the market:
🔵Active selling by bears can lead to falling asset prices and a worsening overall market sentiment.
🔵Bears often use defensive strategies to minimize losses in a falling market, which can affect market liquidity and dynamics.
