Understanding Market Cycles

The concepts of secular and cyclical bull and bear markets play a crucial role in understanding market trends. Secular markets refer to long-term trends, while cyclical markets are shorter-term fluctuations within those trends. The recent discussion suggests that market definitions are not standardized; for many investors, a bear market begins with a 20% decline. Despite experiencing downturns in 2020 and 2022, the broader trend since 2009 is classified by some as a persistent bull market due to the overall upward trajectory on a secular basis.
