Bull Market

Quick definition

A sustained period of rising prices and optimism.

A bull market is an extended uptrend โ€” prices climb, headlines turn euphoric, and new buyers flood in. Crypto bull runs can multiply prices several times over within a year or two.

The trap is FOMO: buying heavily near the top because 'everyone is getting rich.' Disciplined approaches like dollar-cost averaging work in both bull and bear conditions precisely because timing the cycle is so hard.
