German term or phrase: das Lager der Bären
On a fund management company's website

Anlagesuchendes Kapital ist vorhanden, und die Anlagealternativen sind nicht besser geworden. Insofern ist es kein Wunder, dass riesige Kapitalerhöhungen wie die der [Name] problemlos zu platzieren sind. Mit der nun sichtbar gewordenen konjunkturellen Wende, an erster Stelle in den USA, kommt das Lager der Bären unter zusätzlichen Druck.

TIA for any help

das Lager der Bären
"bear" positions


Explanation:
is how I would understand this; a bear is an investor selling against a market fall, and when (as is suggested here) the market is rising, those who have thus sold in anticipation of a fall can often get into difficulties when they have to repurchase, because they'll be doing this at a higher rate than was their intention.

Probably best translated as "the position of the bear is coming under additional pressure".
