With the indices hitting new record closes in recent days wouldn’t that make what happened in October more of a blip than a second crash? 174.192.204.149 (talk) 00:45, 18 November 2020 (UTC)
I disagree with a statement, that a coronavirus 2020 stock market crash can be labeled as a "bear market". According to investopedia and many other sources, the bear market is a PROLONGED DECLINE of the overall market, in which securities fall by at least 20% from their high over a sustained period of time, two months at least. In year 2020, S&P500, a broad-market index has been falling since the mid-February until the late march. The total length of the decline was around 1+ month. Conclusion: despite widespread belief, no bear market has taken place and the recent agressive bounceback is a mere continuation of the same old bull market that was initiated during the 2008 financial crisis.
