bull markets
Sustained price climbs
Bull markets are extended periods when stock prices rise and investor confidence is high.
The term contrasts with bear markets, where prices fall.
A bull market typically features optimism, economic growth, and increasing trading volume: We've been in a bull market for nearly a decade.
The animal imagery suggests upward thrusting—a bull attacks by lifting its horns.
