Bull

Definition

A trader who believes that prices will rise. A bullish market is one in which prices are rising, whereas a bull market is when prices rise from a low point over a sustained period, often with a guideline of at least a 20% increase.

What is a bull? 

In financial markets, a “bull” is someone who believes that the market, a specific sector, or a particular stock is poised to rise. Correspondingly, a “bull market” is a period during which prices are rising or are expected to rise.

Why is it important to consider the bullish perspective when trading? 

The bullish perspective is essential in trading as it influences investment decisions and market sentiment. In a bull market, traders are more likely to invest in stocks and other assets, anticipating profit from rising prices. Recognising the onset of a bull market can lead to lucrative investment opportunities. However, it requires careful analysis to distinguish between genuinely sustainable market growth and speculative bubbles.
