Investors often hear the terms bull market and bear market as descriptors of how a commodity or industry is performing.
2020 and 2021 have seen this usually gradual see-saw change into a highly volatile swing. The pandemic caused a full economic shutdown internationally, sending market forecasts almost completely out the window. Companies and industries that once harnessed a steady bull run quickly fell into bear market territory as investors fled the market.
Others grew astronomically, such as gold, silver, & cryptocurrencies. The uncertainty of the investing world is captured on these exclusive Bull vs Bear Pandemic coins.
These beasts sit on either end of a bar that is balancing on a virus, the catalyst for the volatile market. Looking at these coins side by side, you can see the bear falls at the bottom and the bull sits at the top. Thematic market symbols and health-related imagery, including masks and the virion, accompany these animals to capture how the investing world changed when the pandemic hit.
