A bear raid is a term used in the stock market to refer to an intentional attempt to reduce the value of a particular stock or market. There are several synonyms used to describe a bear raid, such as a market downturn, a market correction, a market sell-off, or a market panic. These synonyms are all used to describe a situation where investors sell off large numbers of shares in a particular market, causing the overall value of that market to plummet. Whether referred to as a bear raid, market downturn, or market correction, these events can be unpredictable and cause significant financial losses for investors.
