Bull Market

A bull market is a term used to describe a financial market where prices are rising over a period of time. It usually refers to a steady increase of 20% or more in the price of stocks, currencies, commodities, or other financial assets. A bull market reflects positive sentiment among investors and traders, often driven by strong economic growth, low unemployment, or other favorable conditions. During a bull market, people generally expect prices to keep rising, which encourages more buying.

Bull markets can last for months or even years, depending on the strength of the economy and investor confidence. They are often seen as good periods for investors because the value of their investments may continue to grow. However, prices do not go up forever, and it is important for traders to stay aware of possible market corrections or reversals. Understanding what a bull market is can help traders and investors make informed decisions and take advantage of upward trends in the market.
