**Bull Run** (or **Bull Market**) is a term used in the financial market to describe a prolonged period of rising asset prices, such as stocks, cryptocurrencies, real estate, or other investments. During a *bull run*, investors are generally optimistic, demand for assets increases, and there is a consistent upward trend in valuation.
### Characteristics of a Bull Run:
1. **Sustained Rise** – Prices rise for weeks, months, or even years.
2. **Market Optimism** – Investors believe that the appreciation will continue.
3. **Increased Volume** – More people are buying than selling.
4. **Asset Rush** – Speculation and FOMO (*Fear Of Missing Out*) may arise.
### Famous Examples:
- **Stock Market (USA, 2009-2020)** – One of the largest *bull markets* in history following the 2008 crisis.
- **Bitcoin (2017, 2021)** – Significant rises in cryptocurrencies, with BTC reaching historical highs.
### Bull Run vs. Bear Market
- **Bull Run** → Prices rise, optimism.
- **Bear Market** → Prices fall, pessimism.
If you are investing, it is important to understand that *bull runs* do not last forever and can be followed by corrections or declines. Diversification and analysis are essential to avoid large losses. 🚀📉
