  • In the financial world, the bull market is used to describe the economic environment of a country that is growing and optimistic.

  • It describes an economic trend where there is stagnation or a downward trend in the economy, people’s confidence in the economy is low, and more people are selling stock than buying.
  • A bear market is a good indicator of a recession i.e. a long-term period of negative growth.
