Even though the orientation of stock prices determines whether a market is in a bull or bear market, there are a few additional criteria that traders should be conscious of.
There is a significant requirement for little supply and securities in a bull market. To put it another way, many investors want to buy assets, but few want to sell them. As a result, stock prices will climb as investors fight for available equity.
On the other hand, more people want to sell rather than buy in a bear market. Demand is much lower than availability, resulting in a decline in stock prices.
