The stock market has taken a hit. Is this a sign for a bear market?

Stocks are down more today than any other point in 2025.
The S&P as well as many other stocks have dropped today and there were a few reasons for it. There is a new Coronavirus study in China so there was a lot of vaccine makers coming together.
There were also over $2.7 trillion worth of ETF and equity options set to expire which adds a lot to the volatility.
Retail stores have also seen a big drop in sales which can be telling of the economic state of the world. Despite all of this, experts have said there is still a good chance of a bull run which would, obviously, make investors happy.
Many people believe this could just be a consolidation phase before we see a bull market. There are still many companies we are waiting on in terms of their earnings as well as other factors but sort of like the saying "innocent until proven guilty" this is basically "bull until proven bear".
