Mild Bear Phase

Definition

A mild bear phase describes a period of moderate and relatively short-lived price declines in a market. This market condition is characterized by a sustained but not severe downward trend in asset prices, typically lasting for weeks or a few months. It is less intense than a full-fledged bear market, which involves deeper and more prolonged price depreciation. During a mild bear phase, market sentiment is generally cautious, but significant panic selling is less prevalent. This period often presents opportunities for long-term investors to accumulate assets.
