Bear

a bear is a trader who expects prices to decline or is currently profiting from a decline in prices in the financial market.

A bear market is a period in which prices for a particular market or asset class are generally declining, often due to widespread pessimism and negative sentiment among investors. A bearish investor or trader may seek to profit from this trend by selling short or taking other positions that benefit from falling prices.
