Market Cycles: Bull Markets, Bear Markets, and Corrections

A beginner-friendly, India-specific guide to how stock markets actually move over time: the recurring rhythm of bull runs, corrections, and bear markets. Built for first-time demat holders, college students, salaried professionals, homemakers, and retirees who have watched the Nifty and Sensex swing wildly and want to understand what a bull market, a correction, and a bear market actually mean, how to tell them apart, and what history (2008, 2020, and other real Indian episodes) teaches about staying invested through the cycle instead of panicking at the wrong moment. Uses real NSE and BSE index data, Indian case studies, and practical guidance for a Zerodha-era retail investor throughout.
