Where do ‘bear’ and ‘bull’ market come from?

Looking to travel from Venice to London? 

Enter the most authentic, vintage, and luxury way to ride by train.

Imagine a bear attacking its prey and swiping its paw downwards.

A perfectly restored, vintage train from the Golden Era of travel.

Similarly, when the stock market trend declines, we call it a bear market.

Now consider a bull that attacks its prey with its sharp horns in an upward motion.

Blown glass from the canals of Venice.

When the market notices upward trends, we call it a bull market.

These attacks are metaphors for the movement of markets.

Prolonged falling prices characterise the bear market when the securities fall 20% or more.

This period ends when the prices reach a point where they can no longer drop, giving rise to the investor’s sentiments.

When the stocks gain 20% from the recent low, a bull market sets in, marking a broad recovery in the market.

However, predicting when the bear market will end and when prices have reached the bottom is difficult.

Thus, making a recovery is a complex procedure.
