Explanation
In investment parlance a ābearā refers to an investor who expects prices to decline and acts with pessimism about future returns. Specifically, a bear (or being bearish) denotes the belief that the price of a stock or market will decrease over time, often accompanying broader ābear marketā periods of falling prices and negative sentiment. This contrasts with a ābull,ā who is optimistic and expects rising prices. Thus the term ābearā describes an investorās expectation of price falls for a particular security or the market in general, matching option 1.
