A bear market is always started after the fED raises the rates at least 3 times in sucession, as happened in the 80's. The bear ends when they lower the rates, at least that is what history tell us. HG48

Definition of Bull vs. Bear Market: I've never used a definition, since I think labelling markets causes people to have mental biases. I just think in terms of up or down, and what timeframe. Also, I assign no value judgement to up and down, such as up = good and down = bad. These are my thoughts as a trader, of course, but I think in general people love labelling everything and everybody they encounter, and most of the time, it's counter-productive, as it shuts down the mind to new possibilities, combinations and permutations.
