Bull Market

A bull market refers to a prolonged period of rising stock prices. Typically 20% or more from recent lows is considered a bull market. Bull markets are often driven by strong economic growth, low interest rates, and high investor confidence. They can last for years, as seen in the 2009-2020 bull run. Investors in bull markets tend to favor growth stocks, technology companies, and riskier assets that thrive in an expanding economy. However, bull markets eventually correct, leading to market cycles. See also: Bear Market
