The bullish market turned bearish during 2010, with the exchange losing 1,800 points between December 2010 and January 2011.[3] Millions of investors have been rendered bankrupt as a result of the market crash. The crash is believed to be caused artificially to benefit a handful of players at the expense of the big players.[3]
