bear market
| Financial market in which traders are selling or expecting to sell. The trend to sell depresses the market. In a bear market a trader may go short in a stock, selling a stock they do not possess and buying the stock to fulfil the contract when the price has fallen, profiting from the difference between the two prices. |
