Bull Run

A bull run (or bull market) is when the prices of coins (or stocks) are rising steadily over a period of time. Think of it like a sports team on a winning streak—day after day, more people are buying, prices go up, and everyone feels optimistic.

Key signs:

Prices making higher highs (each peak is above the last)

Lots of buying activity

General market optimism (“this will keep going up!”)

Bearish Run

A bearish run (or bear market) is the opposite—prices are falling consistently. It’s like a team on a losing streak: more people are selling, prices drop, and sentiment turns pessimistic.

Key signs:

Prices making lower lows (each dip is below the last)

Lots of selling activity

General market pessimism (“it’s going to keep going down”)

Quick way to remember:

Bull: Think of a bull thrusting its horns upward → prices go up.

Bear: Think of a bear swiping its paws downward → prices go down.
