things were much, much worse around the rest of the world.\u00a0 Global banking stocks are plunging, emerging market stocks are cratering, and emerging market currencies continue <a title=\"their stunning decline\" href=\"http:\/\/theeconomiccollapseblog.com\/archives\/that-escalated-quickly-the-emerging-market-currency-crisis-of-2018-threatens-to-destabilize-the-entire-global-financial-system\">their stunning decline<\/a>.\u00a0 This represents a dramatic change from the relative stability that we have seen throughout most of 2018.\u00a0 It is almost as if someone flipped a switch once the month of August began, and the shakiness of global financial markets has many investors wondering what trouble fall will bring.\u00a0 What we are witnessing right now is not a full-blown panic yet, but it definitely has the potential to turn into one.<\/p>\n<p>The term \u201cbear market\u201d is being thrown around a lot lately, but a lot of people don\u2019t understand what a \u201cbear market\u201d actually is.<\/p>\n<p>A bear market is generally considered to be when we see a decline of 20 percent or more from the 52-week high, and after the carnage of this past week a lot of those thresholds are now being crossed.<\/p>\n<p>It would probably be too early to call this a \u201cglobal stock market crash\u201d, but we are well on the way to getting there.\u00a0 The following are 5 signs that global financial markets are entering a bear market\u2026<\/p>\n<p><strong>#1<\/strong> Global stocks have now fallen beneath <a title=\"all key moving averages\"

Those key moving averages are important psychological thresholds for investors, and if we have a few more days like Wednesday we could see global financial markets go into full panic mode.<\/p>\n<p><strong>#2<\/strong> European banking stocks have now officially entered <a title=\"a bear market\"
