What is a 'Bear Market'A market condition in which the prices of securities are falling, and widespread pessimism causes the negative sentiment to be self-sustaining. As investors anticipate losses in a bear market and selling continues, pessimism only grows. Although figures can vary, for many, a downturn of 20% or more in multiple broad market indexes, such as the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) or Standard & Poor's 500 Index (S&P 500), over at least a two-month period, is considered an entry into a bear market.

Dit is een definitie. Minstens 20% daling, en mimimum van 2 maanden duur.
Niet "structureel, dalend, langdurig".
In 2011 daalde de S&P met in een periode van 5 maanden met 22%. Dat is dus volgens bovenstaande definitie een bearmarkt geweest.
