A bull run in crypto (or in any financial market) refers to a sustained period of rising prices and positive market sentiment, where the overall trend is upward. Here’s a breakdown of what that means:
🔼 Key Features of a Crypto Bull Run:
• Prices increase significantly across many cryptocurrencies.
• Investor confidence grows, leading to more buying.
• High trading volumes and increased media attention.
• New investors often enter the market due to FOMO (fear of missing out).
• Often driven by major events, such as:
• Bitcoin halving
• Institutional adoption (e.g., ETFs, large companies buying BTC)
• Regulatory clarity or positive news
• Technological improvements (like Ethereum upgrades)

🐂 Why is it called a “Bull Run”?
It’s based on the metaphor of how a bull attacks—it thrusts its horns upward, symbolizing rising prices. The opposite is a bear market, where prices fall (bears swipe down with their claws).

The 2020–2021 bull run saw Bitcoin rise from ~$10,000 to over $60,000, with altcoins like Ethereum, Solana, and others also making massive gains.
