The Bull

"The Bull" typically refers to a financial market trend characterized by rising prices and investor optimism. Think of a bull as a symbol of confidence, where investors believe the market will improve, leading them to buy more stocks. This increased buying pressure causes prices to go up further, creating a positive cycle. The term originates from the way a bull attacks by thrusting its horns upward, analogous to upward market movement. A "bull market" signifies strong economic prospects, encouraging investment and growth across markets.
