Bearish Market Pressure

Definition

Bearish market pressure indicates a prevailing sentiment among participants that asset prices will decline. This pressure is characterized by a dominance of selling activity over buying, leading to downward price movements and a general lack of confidence in market appreciation. Factors contributing to this condition include negative economic indicators, regulatory uncertainty, or significant liquidations. Such an environment often sees investors seeking to exit positions or short assets, further intensifying the downward trend.
