A bull run in crypto is when the overall market experiences a strong upward trend, with coin prices rising rapidly over weeks or months. It usually starts with Bitcoin gaining momentum, followed by a surge in altcoins (other cryptocurrencies like Ethereum, Solana, etc.).
Why it happens:
Investor optimism: People expect prices to keep rising, so they buy in.
Big events: Bitcoin halving, ETF approvals, or major adoption news can trigger runs.
Here are the most famous crypto bull runs so far:
1. 2013 Bull Run

4. 2024–2025 Bull Run (Current)
