Bulls and bears are market trend terms. If the market has been going up, it would be labeled a bull market, the opposite is also true with bear. Bulls and bears are fore-casted future movements of the economy, based on current and past pricing trends. |

A bull expects rising prices and a bear expects falling prices. This is because of the way these animals fight. A bull will thrust you up with his horns, while a bear will claw you down with his paws. There is a famous statue of the bull and bear in combat outside of the New York Stock Exchange. |

My finance professor explained it this way:
a Bear strikes you with its paw in a downward motion meaning the market will fall
a Bull attacks you with an upward motion with its head and horns meaning the market will rise. |

Yes, bulls go long expect the market orthe individual stock to go up. When one says that stock looks bullish, means they are expecting it to conitnue up.
Conversely, the bears short or expect the indiviudual stock to go down.
There is always a constant battle between bulls and bears and that hows price action is hammered out.
If the stock finishes up for the day, one might say the bulls won that battle. etc..... |

"Bear" means bad, as far as stocks prices are concerned. A bear market is when stocks are going down. You can also call the market "bearish". A "bull" market on the other hand means that stocks are on the way up, which is good news. |

Both Bull and Bear are terms used to refer to how a market is doing. They got their name by their respective attack moves. The Bull usually charges with its head low, horns pointing and throws the victim up and away. So when there is a sudden boom in the market its said to have bullish tendencies. The bear on the other hand, 'hugs' its victim and throws it crashing down on the ground. So when there is a sudden crash in the market it is said to have a bearish trend.
A Bull market is usually due to investor confidence, motivating investors to buy in anticipation of further capital gains. The market participants are also referred to as the 'herd' because bulls are herding animals.
The Bear market is triggered usually by widespread pessimism. Investors anticipating further losses are motivated to sell. By one common definition, 'a bear market is marked by a price decline of 20% or more in a key stock market index from a recent peak over at least a two-month period'.

When the market value is increasing, it is bull market.
This happens when the price for many stocks are higher.
When the market value is decreasing, it is bear market.
This happens when the price for many stocks are lower. |
