I've heard many economists say that when rates fall the market will crash, how true can this be? because they supposedly discount that something bad is happening in the economy and that is why they lower interest rates.

A sharp fall of rates normally anticipates a deep recession. This will make investors reduce their holdings while insolvencies rise etc etc. The market crash is the bursting bubble that follows when the herd leaves the room, needs cash

Don't overrate the CBs influence on the bond market. Long term thr market is in full control and after a possible deflationary shock rates will explode higher
