Bull Market

A bull market is when stock prices are rising and investors feel optimistic about the economy. You'll hear this term constantly in financial news and market discussions because it affects whether people want to buy stocks or hold cash. The opposite is a bear market, when prices fall and sentiment turns pessimistic. Bull markets can last months or years, and they're generally good times for investors—though prices can still bounce around day-to-day. For example, if TechCorp stock climbs 40% over six months alongside broad market gains, you might say we're in a bull market for tech stocks. The key is the overall upward trend and positive mood, not just one stock going up.
