Bear Market
Future bear markets usually arrive every three to five years (four years on average), and they can demolish your capital. Avoiding these slumps is the key to protecting your hard-earned capital. Unfortunately, most investors have no clue as to the market's future direction, how the stock market works, or how to minimize their losses. Therefore, it is not surprising that investors suffer the consequences when a bear market sneaks up and severely mauls them.
There are only two basic definitions for bullish and bearish volume:
1. Bullish volume is increasing volume on up-moves and decreasing volume on down-moves.
2. Bearish volume is increasing volume on down-moves and decreasing volume on up-moves.
While the origin of the terms might be somewhat vague, their definitions are quite precise. "Bull" refers to an investor who believes that a market or individual stock issue will rise in value. A "bear" is someone who believes the opposite, that the market or stock will drop in value. Generally, a rise or fall of 20 percent is the benchmark for describing a bull or bear market.
