bull market
Investors feel optimistic
A bull market is a period when stock prices are rising or expected to rise, typically by 20% or more from recent lows.
The term extends to any financial market showing sustained optimism and upward momentum: We're in a bull market for tech stocks.
The opposite is a bear market.
Someone bullish on an investment expects its value to increase.
