No, it is more appropriate to buy bond funds in a bear market, because bond funds invest in the bond market and are inversely proportional to the stock market. Generally, when the stock market is poor, bond funds will perform better. Index funds mainly invest in the stock market, and index funds are directly proportional to the stock market, so when the stock market is good, index funds perform poorly.

Under normal circumstances, when the stock market situation is not good, investors will withdraw from the stock market and seek safe investment targets. Bonds are a better choice. A large amount of funds flowed into the bond market, which made the bond market rise. When the stock market is in a good situation, investors' funds will flow into the stock market for investment, which will cause the bond market to flow out and lead to a decline in the bond market. At this time, the performance of bond funds will not be very good.
