Stock markets move Up and DOWN in recurring cycles. A prolonged rise in stock prices is known as a Bull Run ( bull Market) while a consistent decline is called a bear market or Bear phase.
These are different from short-lived upward or downward “corrections” in stock prices. Typically, a Bull Run or a bear market means at least a 20% change in the index value.
Nobody can accurately predict stock market movements, but they can be explained. Here’s what moves the stock markets.
