Sensex down 3,000 points in 9 days. Is it just the beginning of bear market?

The Indian stock market faces significant turmoil, with the Sensex plunging 3,000 points and smallcaps and microcaps in a bear market. FIIs have withdrawn over Rs 1 lakh crore in 2025, and earnings downgrades are expected to continue. Despite the correction, analysts predict a recovery in FY26, with opportunities for long-term investors as India's GDP growth rises.
