is bear-market safe or bull market?

[woodstockvilla]

Yes, I was thinking that is it profitable to trade in bear-markets or to trade while the market condition in bullish way ?

sometimes both can be profitable ..

But which one can be safe??

now S&P500 U.S stock is in bear-market ?

In theory a Bear market is more risky because if you Short sell something then the potential loss is infinite. Where as if you buy something the loss in limited to the value of the asset you bought, ie it cannot go below 0 in value. However, in reality I think that Bear markets move down more quickly than Bull markets move up.
