Bull Run

Bull Run refers to a period in financial markets characterized by rising prices and investor confidence. It is often used to describe a sustained increase in the price of securities, particularly within stock markets, but can also apply to other markets such as commodities or real estate. The term “bull” is derived from the behavior of a bull, which charges forward, symbolizing upward momentum in prices. Bull runs are typically accompanied by optimism and a belief that current market trends will continue, leading to increased investment and speculative activity. Investors may look for opportunities to buy assets during a bull run, anticipating continued gains. Bull runs can vary in duration and intensity, ranging from several months to multiple years, and are often contrasted with bear markets, where prices decline.
