Morphology
bearishly = bearish (transparent) = bear + ish + ly
Standard adverbial formation from 'bearish' (bear + -ish), and the meaning 'like a bear' is directly inferable from the base.
Etymology
The word bearishly comes from the animal bear and the ending -ish, which means 'like', so it describes moving or acting 'like a bear'. A helpful way to remember it is to picture a big, clumsy bear pushing through a crowd, which explains the meaning 'rough' or 'clumsy'.
