How much of an increase is considered as a "bull market"

Generally speaking, a bull market happens when prices rise by 20 percent, usually after a drop of 20 percent and before a 20 percent decline. Since they are difficult to predict, bull markets can typically only be recognized once they’ve happened.
Well that said it does not apply in the Crypto market as the crypto market is very volatile but the bull run is said when the market is on the rise for more than a month and at a overall rise in market of minimum 50% (percent can be argued to even higher degree). But as seen in past the Bull run went upto 300% to 1000%, so the upper limit is out of the discussion for time being. :)

above poster gave a good answer i just want to add that a bull market is not that much about the "size" of the rise but it is mostly about the rise itself. when we enter a bull market you can expect the price to rise. the size of it then depends on circumstances. for example for bitcoin that it is based on adoption usually a bull market is accompanied by a lot of growth in adoption and that can mean a huge rise.

I think it is considered by watching the past Bull last time Bitcoin price was $20000 in Bull condition and right now it is too low and i think in the market Bull condition its price will considered more then $20000,

IMO there are no general percent gains that classify any rise to a bull run, though my definition for such is a constant rise that negates any effort to bring the price down regardless of how huge a selling pressure is at a given period of time. It can be days or weeks, months or years, depending on what market you are in,, but typically it lasts for months of continuous rise without any major resistance along the way. The 2017 rise is a fine example of a bull run and it started May and ended at January 2018.

I think it's not as simple as just an increase in the price, there are other factors in my opinion. lately I have noticed that most news are positive and talking about bitcoin in a positive way, I also noticed that the market cap is increasing and that people are joining more. however I don't think we can say that we bullish just yet. we need more time with this level of growth

Theres no significant percentage on where we can consider it as a bull run. Usually this reversal trend do happen after being on bearish trend. There might be some fake outs but as an investors or trader pointing out a possible bull run would really be hard.This market is way too unpredictable and once you made a wrong move then you would really lose up money if you do trade actively.

If you know some Technical Analysis, a bull market or at least a bull trend happens when the price paints higher highs and higher lows on big timeframes like 4hour chart, daily chart, etc etc. We are in a bull trend right now but I wouldn't consider it yet a bull market.

As long as it goes up to the preffered currency that you are using.
There are times when it is down in USD but in exchange for bitcoin or ethereum it is larger than what you invested so that is still a bull.
You should focus on one currency only that you will trade your altcoin or token. With that you wont get confused if it is a bear market or bull.

I prefer doing only crypto currency exchange and not looking at how much it is at dollars.

Recovery of 20% is considered as a bull market is started. In last 3 month we have seen around 140% down for bitcoin from 20k to 6k and now around 30% recovered after a long time so according to me bull run started and hope to see more bull soon.

The market is fluctuating continuously and difficult to predict, bitcoin prices in recent days are increasing sharply and are now showing signs of adjustment. According to my analysis, the increase in bitcoin in recent days is just up trend in the short term and if overall, the bitcoin is still bearish, so I think you should be very careful. invest at this time.

Geez man, you had made me realize that I don't know much about technical analysis ha ha ha. As far as my own definition is concern, when the buyers outnumbered the sellers and the price keeps on rocketing - we call it bull run. Bullish market happens every time the demand for a coin rises.

It's not the quantity of price increase it's increase in volume. For bull market we need more buy orders with higher volumes. For me we are not in the bull season at the moment. Bitcoin price is not the main point right now. But the support and resistance points will matter when there is higher volumes.

I think the price is not going to rise if the volume decrease maybe the price rise because of the rising of the  volume. So then the pumping of the price is really depend on the volume of the investors. I think the bull market occur very soon because the price now is slowly rising and I think we only have to wait for a verry short period of time.

Below BTC = 10K$ is bear market, when it goes above 10K$ we can say that it is bull season.
For now the chart is similar to 2014, but expect unexpected :)

If this time is the real bull matket it should goes to as high as last year, so i predict it will goes at least $35k for bitcoin and $3k for ethereum and the crypto market cap will surpasses 1 trillion by this half year. Then we will little bit going down for correction before bull again at the end of year.

So as high as last year but bitcoin to 35k and ethereum to 3k. Thanks for your insights. If we hit the ATHs again it will be by the end of the year and that's best case scenario. In fact it would be better to go slowly otherwise we are going to end up in the same place as before if it goes too fast too high.

Bull market is not confirmed according to the rise in percentage, it is about technical analysis, if a coin breaks a certain price which is shown by technical analysis in charts, then they say it is bullish.

It's actually funny that you're looking for similarities to 2014 and at the same time giving 10k as the level above which it's going to be a bull market. The peak of that bubble was at around 1100 USD, but the peak of the first bounce back was 660 USD, so it was over the half, while 10k is exactly at the 50% mark. For 2014 to repeat we'd have to go to 11k first, but we haven't even touched 10k. Also, back then it all happened much later, in June. I see no similarities yet.

And I thought if one coin goes up then it is already a bull market even if it is just for cents.  ;D
There is too much answers that I have read here but I am guessing they are all right.
It just goes to one end for every posts. It is going up, then it is a bull. There might be percentage for one's perspective but to the most it is a bull if it is green.  ;D

There is no specific percentage of increase to considered a trend as a "bull market". It doesn't also only focus on a certain single coin or few coins.

The trend is tagged as bull market when a great number of coins are having a price increase at the same time, meaning more are buying that's why volumes are increasing resulting in price increase. Now that trend can be spoiled so don't tagged a trend as bull market yet even how large the price increase if it's only about within just an overnight or short period of time.

Generally people have different views on what the bull market is so just trust your own definition if the purpose of your question is to help you decide whether if you want to purchase some to fulfill your precious wallet or wait for more dips.

Sorry that I'm not a trader, just a noob.
Not only me, many people sees similarities with 2014 in the chart, of course nobody can expect the exact same ratio. So this time it could be 9k then it can go down, or it can be different from now on.
The dangerous thing that when people expect the price to go down, it goes up.

good evening

I don't know if there are a certain percentage to be considered as a bull, but from my observation, it usually starts at around 40% increased in the next couple of days or months to be considered that the market is in the bullish trend. But as long as the market is getting green and having good gains of at least 4% daily and continues, then definitely, its in a bull run as well.

It's mean the market is bull yesterday before they had a correction? Do you think the market is better now? I saw if the market going to recover and the correction is look normal, what do you think? I hope cryptocurrency can shine again like in the end of year 2017

Market Technicaly Bullish Now, I do not trust the crypto market as a technicaly, Because the crypto market is a lot more Volatile, The little news market moves a lot.

Yeah, you might be right. Though I still think we don't necessarily have to cross ATH to be consider to be in bull phase. Any steady increase over a long time might be consider as one. My thought!

We cannot exactly say what will happen in Bitcoin price but one thing is for sure that it will rise up again. We just need to be patient and wait for the bull run. Dips are normal in trading so we just keep calm and don't panic. Just hold your Bitcoin and wait for the price to increase again.

Ok , just look at the market cap , If the total marketcap is increasing market is bullish , I mean totally may be some coins are bearish in that  time , sometimes it is fake though and it is hard to find out whether it is really bullish or jus manipulated!

I think in a single minute where we experience a 1000% or more gain, that’s what we call a bull run. However, it would be the other way around if there are others who would do a major sell-off in their Bitcoins or altcoins. As of now, we are trading between $9,000 to $9,300, but the Mt. Gox’s Bitcoin account is already on the watch because it plans to have a sell-off in the open market instead of over the counter, which is very interesting. Instead of taking it negatively, it is an oppoortunity for us to buy more at lower prices and expect this would be on a short-term bearish run only.

it depends how big bull is. Bear was so huge this year so predicte bull will be bigger than bear and for next year bear will be much more big.
Then current btc price can go up 3x this year this is my prediction

Hmm happy to hear that, hopefully, you're true it's mean bitcoin price can hit $27k this year, it's awesome. I hope so if the bitcoin price can higher than before so alt coins will follow the price can go back higher again

Yes. What simply defines a bull market is a rise in price and a change in trend with more greens of course, or will I say the higher highs and lows and in the case where we break out from such a trend and we start having otherwise is what brings us to a bear market.

Nevertheless for a bull run, it is simply just a sharp movement in price with a very huge percentage daily which is undefined and in that case, the price broke out from the normal trend and just decided to start having some huge squash of buying walls, setting new ATHs and people getting more FOMOlyzed.

They say that prices rise by 20 percent is considered a bull market but For me bull market has no set price value as long as it slowly but constantly increasing for how many days, how many months and the people are earning then it will be a bull market. At the moment this market performance is not to be considered as bull market or a bearish market but it was a roller coaster market in which the prices are up and down.

According to the article I read, the bull market is not fixated on the percentage increase but where is the long period when the overall price is moving upwards, bull market is characterized by optimism, investor confidence and expectations that positive results will continue, essentially when demand is rising for a long time it is arguably a bull market.

I think 38% should be considered as a bull market and since December last year we are unable to achieve that up till now.  We are not going to see bull market often as this is a fight between two factors and  the one that win always drive the price for long.

actually, I don't know how much percentage will be a bull market because I only see that if the price increase more than 10% and reach more than 30%, I will sell my coins and I don't think too long if it's a bull market or not. for me, as long as I can sell at the good price, it's enough for me so I can use that balance to buy another coin or waiting for the down price again. maybe I need to read more about the bull market so I can know.

this is what I get in the investopedia.com/terms/b/bullmarket.asp


you can find more explaining about the bull market in the other websites.

Good answer, but bull market is actually always different from a bull run in my own perspective. I believe when we are in an uptrend for a while, with higher highs and higher lows, that obviously specifies a bull market which can of course take place for a long time.

Nevertheless, in the process of that, we may always get to see a bull run and this is actually the time when the market is just having some speedy nonstop movement in a very short period of time like it just wants to puncture the moon and drag it down.

Positive news is accompanied by bullrun in crypto, Better updated always in new's and social media's interaction because they bring huge impact in lifting alt-coin values and of course bitcoin. We may notice bullrun is on when most of the coins in the market sites start greening;)

You can see that the market in recent days is showing signs of very clear, bitcoin and altcoin prices are increasing sharply throughout the past week. As far as my analysis, the market is uptrend in the short term and you can be completely reassured when trading. But I think overall bitcoin prices are still bearish so this is just uptrend in the short term.

It is already rising up as far as I know. Few weeks ago, it was somewhere near 5k dollars and that was the time when I put my all in persuading people for spending money here but none really paid attention. Even now is the chance to invest in bitcoin and earn 20 to 40 grand by the end of this year. Bitcoin is destined to shock the whole world once more. Bitcoiner are about to get rich.

Well as of now it begins though you can see that the bull are already running,  and by the gradually decrease of bitcoin no doubt it will pump up though , it will be a huge run for the market.
But overall we expect the unexpected though.

I feel people always misconstrue a bull market to a bull run. A bull market does not necessarily mean the market will be moving in a fast pace upward, it could be a slow movement upward where we see the trend going gradually and some little corrections in between which like some people have stated as higher highs and higher lows, and when we are having a rally or a run, this is just exactly as it sounds, a run! A fast pace movement with a high level increase in price daily which is always considered at times as too good to be true.

I take this as a good answer although I have something else in my mind before I have read this. ;D
Merits for the effort and good explanation.

I thought as long as the market is going up and you see green lights then it is a bull run.  ;D Anyway, 20 percent is a large one and I think it should be considered as a bull.

Bull market isn't defined by the percentage increase. A market is said to be bullish if almost all the tokens show positive gains and there is a significant increase in volume. Also, the price shouldn't just increase ridiculously. There should be an interval of periodic correction of low magnitude to give price a decent support line. Usually the starting of bull phase is euphoric, then the momentum falls a bit and this is the phase when we see a momentarily correction which is again followed by a massive pump.

You can see that the market has seen signs of recovery in the past few days, bitcoin and altcoin prices are rising, market capitalization has surpassed 400 billion dollars. So I think that at this point you should trade altcoin will be able to get much profit and very safe when the market is in a rising trend.

I advise you not to be subjective at this moment, can see that the market in the past few days are showing signs of recovery and is growing very strong, can see that this is uptrend in the short term. So you should not be subjective, in the long term the bitcoin price is still in the cycle so you should withdraw money when the profit.

Each person has its own definition of what it is a bull market to me it is not about how big is the growth, to me is about the tendency, it is about seeing a continuous growth of a considerable size for a prolonged period of time, for example the last months of the previous year were clearly a bull market, we saw extraordinary growth and it lasted for months and to me that fits my definition.

There is no such reference or a category where you can refer a trend as a bull or a bear market. People will just call it a bull or a bear depending how it affects the whole crypto market. As you know, most or almost all the top 500 coins and tokens were red during the bear market and during the bull you can see everything is green.

it depends pal how long the bull market will last .which is like what happened last year the price rocketed to the ATH value " 20k." because of being popular without any negative issue ,so the price constantly rise. So it depends on the circumstances of the market, and perhaps on this situation the bull trend will not go further because of some factors nowadays IMO.

yes, we should know about this so we can try to recover our balance too and reach our profit again. by doing trade altcoin in the recovery moment, we can make a profit and I think it's not just about how much the percentage that we should know because once the price recover, it will reach higher and maybe the percentage is more than 10%.

I think it is not sure but some predictions are counted, When bitcoin or all market will go to the Bull then there are maximum chances an increase the market with more then 100% , some coins are increasing too much when market condition in Bull condition,

Let's break it down a little further:


Source: https://www.investopedia.com/terms/b/bullmarket.asp

The tricky part is that how can we say that crypto market is on a bull run when the price keeps on fluctuating? For me as long as the price is going on the green zone then we are in a bull run or bull market. Crypto really defies definitions as far as the financial market is concern. So sometimes its a borderline case, that's why its really hard say when we are in a bull run or not.

This explanation captures it for me. I always look at volume both in trades and exchanges before I buy in or register. Volume is key because it alerts you of what coins investors are putting their money on. Low volume means lack of interest and that will bring about low buy orders. With that, the bulls trend won't start.

While this is highly subjective, I think it is best to weigh things objectively- meaning, we have to base it on data. Like for instance, take down notes on how the market is doing since the beginning of the quarter in 2019. This way, we are able to figure how the market is- whether it be stable, inclining or declining. You know, in times like these, it is us who are in the better position to figure if we are on a bullish or bearish market. And our answer to such should be based on sound judgment nothing less.

Its when the market doesn't break a huge ass support.

Based from my past experience, some alts pumped up to 3x of its current price. That is 300% or higher. Then it is followed by a sudden crash. So you need to know when to buy and when to sell. You must know where is the floor and when is the ceiling. Learn the basic of chart reading.

I don't think that there is any specified percentage to call it a Bull or bear market. We have to consider the fundamental analysis to determine it. I have seen some alt-coin rising 50% and falling 60% within hours (most of them were part of pump and dump scheme) but the main thing is the reason why the price is rising or falling. We had a price rally in the last quarter of the last year and market correction in the first quarter of this year. This was a result of the involvement of the big whales and institutional investors and it created the panic situation in the market in both the cases.

Entire crypto market is bull market, rising technology that`s have more and more followers, thus more and more money is being pumped into. Like always its all about point of view, you can call entire market bull market if you watch period from beginning of crypto until now, its bear if you judge by the last ath and price now. If your view have just last 3 days in sight then you are in bull/bear market everyday cause of the constant fluctuation.

Although the market itself is bullish, it doesn't mean that every individual cryptocurrency/token will be profitable. In fact when the market really matures most top cryptos will die since they have no product or application and some of them are literally just copies of bitcoin or other well established coins.

You can see that the price of bitcoin in recent days has been rising steadily and at the moment has reached the threshold of $ 9600 and is still on the strong recovery. My analysis is just a short-term recovery and if overall, bitcoin prices are still in a strong downtrend and may reach $ 1000 by the end of 2018.

You can not say if it is bull market by increase in price. The trade volumes must increase too and there must be more buyers than sellers.

Its Crypto and hard to say but looks like 2018 could be huge run.

Overall trading volume is increasing quite steadily, so is the marketcap. Right now with the recent bull breaks of eth, ltc and even bitcoin we can definitely say we are in a bull trend, the big resistance is at the last high of around 12k. If we break 12k convincingly then we will be back in a bull market, for sure.

I think it usually represents just the growing market, it start from 10-15% growth of the whole capitalization I guess.

if we can analyze when the market can reach a certain price, it may be determined later whether it is a bull or bearish.
and also more buyers didnt guarantee at all it will make a sign of bullish

at least we know that almost all coins are increased and not just bitcoin that increase. and if the trade volumes increase, more buyers will come, and there are more order buy then we might see the party time is coming so we can prepare to sell our coins to reach our profit at the highest price. but still, we don't know what exactly the sign of bull market because sometimes we are a mistake to analyze the times since in the crypto world, we cannot predict with precision.

I have read different answers and after reading posts here feel a bit confused because some say that even if the price of one coin goes up it is already the bull market while others call even the green line like this

A bull market generally is when you get to see the price tending towards the uptrend and is going up until further notice. The difference here is that when the market is in the buying spree mode, then it is the bulls at work, and once it is in the selling spree mode, then the bears are at work. However, there is what we call a rally, which can come in both ways and this happens in the case where things are just going out of hand either up or down as the case may be.

I do not see any bull run for now but I have a deep feeling that coins are absolutely ready to start their growth. I suspect that the average gaining will be 20-25% which is considered to be a bull market.

It really doesn’t matter whether it is bear market or the bull, what matters is which one is more profitable for a person. Now here, many people think the bear market as loss and worried, but this isn’t the case overtime. All those who want to get into the market and those too who want to buy more coins, they must be getting in here through bear market because prices are low then.

The bull market always start with a very long candlestacks and must time morning star and I think if you can train your eye to discover this your will make great progress in your trading. I have been in this market for quite sometime now and I don't think you can rate a particular amount with bull or bear market but a setting.

A bullish market happens when prices growing up around 20%, obviously after a drop of 20 percents and before a same decline

I think when bitcoin experiences a bull market situation and no good news can trigger a bitcoin price movement then it will only rise by 30% but when there is good news that can trigger price movements and can make bitcoin useful then it is definitely the price of bitcoin can up to more than 50%.

We can compare the previous trend and the ongoing trends on the growing price in the market. Since price is so much fluctuating and the swing trend maybe we can determined on the bull run starts in the market. But I think not too rely much on the percentage because price change.

Well bulls may take a slower approach than an immediate rise to 20%. Like for the market's status now, it's quite steadily moving up with little corrections along the way and it's likely the bulls are at work here though not entirely.

You are correct that cryptocurrencies really defies definition, governments cannot even get an agreement on what bitcoin is to begin with, is it an asset? Is it a security? Or is it a currency? They do not know how to regulate it and how to tax it, so it is not really a surprise that it is kind of difficult to define what it is a bull market in cryptocurrencies, for example if we saw a 10% drop in stocks that will be one of the biggest crashes in the history, while in bitcoin that is just another day.

If  coin is increased by hundred percent within two months trading and this prices are sustained for another two months and the momentum keep building,  that could be  a signal to bull  trend.

The experts says thru the google that at least 20% increase from the former baseline will be considered a bull market in which it is difficult to happen now because as we have observed in the market every coins is in difficult to reach steady the at least 20% increase. So therefore even if it reach the minimum but if its not stable then still it cannot be called a bull market.

I think you are speaking the right thing but it should be other way round. I mean if there are more buyers than the sellers then I am pretty sure the trade volume will increase as well. It's been long time since market was in trouble or was in bearish trend but now the time has come when we see lot of buyers. So surely it is bull run and nothing else. The possibility of market going ATH has increased a lot too. So from all the direction it's just the up surge.

Like I used to say, all the phases of digital market play a vital role in the success of a trader and help the investor in different ways to earn profits. Dips have a function that pumps can’t play and same stands good for dumps too. A bearish market allows the investor to increase the number of coin at a low rate while a bullish market is actually where the selling should take place. It yields profits but only a person with knowledge can pull these actions.

Since this times are difficult to predict, bull markets can typically only be recognized when they've happened

It is not so easy to predict market status until MtGox CEO sells all the bitcoins they have.

In 3 days they sold 6000 bitcoins recently.

There is no doubt that bull market will happen starting with the Consensus event this coming May 14th. Base on the history of Consensus charts, a lot of investors are going to invest in Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, and the most exciting part would be the post-Consensus days where we will see a big bull run. It would be huge because the number of attendees increased from more than 2k to almost 7k. This is going to be exciting!

If you say about bull market we probably will goes above 1 trillion dollar fow whole marketcap. But i dont think we are in bull market soon because of fud saying that mt gox will dump their bitcoin. And when bitcoin being dump all altcoin goes down as well because all altcoin is base on bitcoin marketcap.

How many qualities do mtgox still have left and who knows if they going to sell all of they holding. I am speculating that any moment from August we may start to have. We are not going to have a big bull run now as the market seen to be moving around $8,750 and $9,750 in a week now.

I don't think that they only have 6000 bitcoin because I am sure they still hold the other bitcoin and they will wait until the price increase so high and they can make a big money from bitcoin. besides that, I don't think that it's easy to predict the market status even if MtGox CEO sell all of their bitcoin by instant because the market won't depend on that him only. so I think we need to keep watching the market so we know where the price wants to move and we can buy and sell to make a profit.

Do you really think one single event can create a bull market run? I doubt it but will be happy if I stand corrected. So far I have seen prices mainly reacting to news in the media.

Growth will be finite, but I do not think that this event will become a starting up for growth, most likely it will be the opposite. Now I'm waiting for the test of the lower levels, and after that there will be continuous growth.

Everything is relative and it depends on a time frame which you use. Usually much people use short or medium term investments so it is from a couple of hours to several weeks therefore for each of them market is various. I consider that market is rather bullish.

The market is being very bullish at the moment but sometimes it can still be bearish because of the manipulation and the correction on the market right now.

I am not sure, but it seems to me that most of the coins must start gaining very fast. The market must be green for many days, and alts should grow all the time.

Yes this guy is right it is considered as bull market if 20 percent high increase happens and all to say and share that bull market officially happens if the market itself increase in a short period of time IF it is stable moving up and down lastly rise in the length that is thousand (hard to explain but example like the market price is now 14, 234 USD  the hundreds will only move and increase happens for a long month.  

But as of now that AI for this year is a trading bot but as they say it is helpful but if you mean AI which like I said a human like robot.

As seen in the past bull run went from 300 percents to 1000, so upper limit is out of the discussion for time

Well, I agree with you to some extent because my definition of bullish is somewhat like that of December, 2017. What I think about the present market situation is that bitcoin and altcoins are going through a recovery phase. The main focus is not on setting out for a new target but to become closer to the previous peak as much as possible. Real bullish market will be occurring in last quarter of the year.

Consensus was a huge failure this year, unfortunately. Nothing of substance was presented. The market adjusted accordingly by dropping to the levels from before the latest bull run. It was more like a classic case of "buy the rumor, sell the news". Very disappointed with the performance they put up. Unprofessional and disorganized.

You can say we are soon in bull market right now as prices are low. But you can’t consider now it as bear market as well. We are hanging over in middle. We can’t just get on one side rather on the line. Now, there is good chance for the people to even earn from their investment and there are chances for the other people to even sell their coins and earn money from there as well.

A bull market is a financial market of a group of securities in which prices are rising or are expected to rise. The term "bull market" is most often used to refer to the stock market but can be applied to anything that is traded, such as bonds, currencies and commodities.
Market are said to be bullish when the market has made between 20-25% rise in volume over the last day or last week.

The bears are still in control and the market is still very choppy. I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for btc to go on a bull run. I think we will trade sideways for a few more months before we will the REAL uptrend.

Bad market, I'm afraid of buying anything right now. It's important to know when to BUY.

We could not identify of how much an increase is considered as a "bull market"because as what we said its  volatility and decentralized,but for us now we should wait those feed news that there's a bull run coming this remaining months of this year,so that we can gain a good profit of our crypto coins,otherwise for now  the exchange market is still struggle and continue  to fixed  and maintaining its stability form.

I agree.A bull run could mean a consecutive increase of price that happens usually in a month or two.Since the crypto market is so volatile too,the price suddenly goes up or goes down in the next day.So maybe bull run can be seen only in the market usually twice or thrice a year depending on the price movement of the market.

It could be easily identified if you have the reference to check in a daily basis, like coinmarketcap. Why do you rely in the news? When you can easily check for yourself regarding the price movement. Some of them news are fake that spread FUD.

A bull market can be identified once the forecat has been broken, for example the support is at 7900 usd and the resistance is at 8300 usd, and the price is somewhere in the middle, once the value goes up breaks the 8300 and goes on for days, fhat is considered a bull market, if you did it on reverse that is called the bear market, though no one can actually foresee when a bull market will happen it crypto since there are a lot of factors that affects the price, for me, what I do is whenever tha value breaks out from the range of the resistance, from the start that the price had been broken up to the time the charts are showing solid signs of a bear market, that is what I considered the time of a bull market

The present situation of the crypto market is no doubt no that much good and that the market value of the crypto coins is not increasing at a very much significant rate. However, I think of this present moment to be the best possible time for the sake of buying of the crypto coins as doing so will later help us in making of much more amount of money at time when the market value of the coins will rise higher.

2 days bearish trend prevails. This can serve as a signal for buying interesting coins. If I had free money, I would have bought interesting coins for me.

If we all keep waiting for the bull market, it's not gonna happen. It happens suddenly when we least expect it, when people give up on it. So we need to stop making predictions and wait for it, let things go its way.

It seems to me that all these situations on the market are nothing but artificial manipulations of large whales. Even those very bull races are provoked only so that these people can make good money. That is why most crypto currency users do not have time to react in time of the bull market.

Yes there is no general percentage gain that classifies any bull's increase or run, although your definition for increment is a constant increase that negates any effort to lower prices regardless of how much selling pressure in a given period of time. I think it's not as simple as just the price increase in there other factors you think. Recently I noticed that most of the positive news and talk about Bitcoin in a positive way, you also see that the market capitalization increases and people join more.

Bull market usually starts after the recovery of prices from the previous down trend. I would say that the bull market starts after the price increases for more than 10 days continuously and the growth rate is more than 2% daily. You will just know when the bull run starts as there is a different feeling you get in respect to the prices moving.

A bull market in cryptos is the moment when they whales want you to buy and they are already either selling to you or just preparing to sell their coins to you.
A bear market is exactly the opposite, for obvious reasons.

A Bull market can in other words be called a stock market.
A Bull market occurs when stock prices continue to rise for a long time period due to investor confidence and willingness to invest increasing amounts of money in the financial markets.

20% is true for traditional stick market, but does not sound right for crypto.

I just look at the macro picture of the market, trading prices and volumes which tells me what I need to know :)

The current market is bear market, you can see that bitcoin prices have been steadily declining in recent days and this has caused the price of altcoin drops very deep then. I believe the bear market will soon end and the bear market will be back in the long run, so you might consider starting to buy altcoin at this point. Let's plan the jungle trade now to be able to Be willing to enter the bull market.

Probably, more than 10-15%. I guess the coins should increase up to 20-25%. In this case, we can talk about the bull market. Hope, it will be observed soon.

A bull market simply is a market that is just going nonstop towards the moon with just few retracements and when you are seeing anything with an extremely huge percentage, then that is obviously a bull market just like the one we had towards the ending of last year. No one can actually time a bull market anyway as it starts all of a sudden due to the break of some emotional barriers and some few short pumps from the downtrend, does not consider a bull market.

I think it's about 15%-25% but I am not sure about the exact percentage because I don't know more about the percentage itself. but personally, I think it's difficult to see the increase in the price besides there is any pump comes in a second and I think right now, the price does not increase higher but it increases a little of the price and sometimes it makes us cannot be patient and only makes the instant sell. sometimes these situations push someone to hold their coins until they are sure that the price really increases so they can sell with using order sell button.

Lol. It is not a bad market, it is just a volatile market and that is why even a child can call a shot during an uptrend as that is pretty easy. The thing here is to be able to know when to buy into a market and when you should be getting out from a market, you should just go learn how to trade.

There are so many indicators like the Ichimoku cloud that can easily help out in most cases, and with that you should be fine. It is important to know that every market is bound to have fluctuations and there is nothing anyone can do about it.

Very easy to identify, as long as we are having a higher high and higher low in a market, then we obviously are in a bull market but that depends on the time frame you are using and with this, I am talking about longer time frames.

However, in the case where we have the opposite, lower highs and lower lows, then that pretty much sums up a bear market. Uptrend or downtrend, we can call it whatever we like, but that is pretty much the layman term for it. However this is totally different from a rally which a lot of people mistaken a lot!

Yeah, it is just more like a particular uptrend being followed for a long time with a huge level of profit as well, and you just see those buying impulses even during some little correction. More like having a consistent uptrend squashing through resistances for a very long time and creating new ATHs. It is not hard to spot when one is in a bull market anyway same way it is not hard to spot when one is in a bear market.

I totally agree with this one. A bull market is undoubtedly a manipulated rise of prices so whales can multiply their profits. After trading more than a year, there is really no bull trend that can happen naturally but we still need to be thankful for those whales at least.

Depends on which technical method you use , bull market could be different for example bull market in Elliot wave is a bit different than fibonacci technical analysis , totally they all mean market is going up just details are differents .

Probably, soon this situation will return. Everybody is speaking about the Bull market period that is returning. I hope for these days as I was tired to wait when the coins will start growing again.

What we can only do is really hope that everything will return back to normal so that the most anticipated bull run that we have been longing for will happened.

However, we also need to face the ugly truth that we may not see it, so just don't expect too much. If it happened then we should enjoy it while it last, but if it didn't then at least you won't be disappointed as well.

yes, I am sure that the market will recover soon and we need to wait for a while and I hope that everything will happen in this month or the next month. we have much time to see the recovering of the market and meanwhile, we can buy many coins to prepare for the bull market. the market now is moving from the lower price to the higher price and maybe this time, every coin will continue to reach the higher price and I am sure that there are any pumps for the coins.

Expect bull market this june to july or until septemper or august, but of course i may be wrong and about the market being bull is a bit complicated because there's alot of demand on the market right now and manipulators which makes the market to read.

No more waiting mate price of bitcoin has started to become normal once again as market of bitcoin is getting better and till the end of 2018 prices will keep on increasing so have patience you are going to get something amazing for sure, after the highly increasing price of bitcoin you will be rewarded for your patience with high profit and bright future.

I think that said it does not apply in the market of crypto as its very volatile market, but the bull run is said when the market is on the rise for more than a month

You can see that bitcoin prices are adjusting and increasing slightly over the past few days, according to my analysis, bitcoin prices are bullish in the short term. The market is showing signs of recovery slightly, but in the long term, bitcoin prices are still in the main cycle so you need to be careful in every transaction.

We cannot exactly say what will happen in Bitcoin price but one thing is for sure that it will rise up again. We just need to be patient and wait for the bull run. Dips are normal in trading so we just keep calm and don't panic.

I believe that not the bull market, you can see that bitcoin prices are recovering very slowly and now are showing signs of slowing down, the market capitalization has not changed much, so I think This is a slight recovery before bitcoin prices can continue to fall in the long run. So I think you should not invest long term at this point.

I do not know for sure, but it usually ranges from 20% - 30%. It can happen if there is good news about cryptocurrency within a few days, and it can make investors invest their money.

I think the bull market means a general significant growing of the crypto currency prices. Now the global crypto exchange market goes mostly sideways +5% or -5%, so the current situation is stable. Neither bull market, nor bear market. Probably it is good but the traders don't like such behavior of the prices. They need a volatility to get a profits. In my opinion, the bull market should be at least +10% and be continued during at least 2 days.

There aren't general percent that gains classify any rise to a bull run, though my definition for such a constant rise that negates any effort bring the price down.

Bullish market in crypto is when that crypto going up more
than 20%.  Now from technical analysis the market  in critical level support, but I believe this is is not mean the price will jump again,  I believe crypto still strong and turn to bullish again soon.

Well, it's really a hard decision to make right now, crypto is so volatile and many other factors are affecting this bearish market, for sure only those who have a big nerve and strong perceptions that the market will be turning to bull again will survive, personally I'm not doing looking from my investment as I know that it will just build some worries inside me, so better to leave the market alone and wait till the bull will run fast again.

 if bullmarket comes i think it increase 100% to 1000% on its current price, this type of market flows that been waiting of all the traders around the world because all of the whale around the world is gather to buy more coins than a usual.

Yes like they're our last hope to make the market surge again. The fact that we always see whales in negative way but in fact all our dream profit are all depend to them. So bull run actually depend on whales and it will happen after they done accumulating.

This much rise and fall makes the traders pressures and they will feel distracted for it as remaining worry about the price all time, for me the bull run mean the rise and fall of the price in market, it does make sense when price rises too low and gets down too low, I think people want bitcoin mainstream so they can get bigger profit at the end for long time holding.

You can see clearly that bitcoin prices have been falling steadily over the past few days and have not recovered yet, at present bitcoin prices are at $ 6500 and with a bearish long-term bull market bitcoin prices may fall to $ 6000 in the coming days. So I think you need to be very careful with every investment decision.

For me, a bull market is when everything is going up and not only Bitcoin. It is precisely an uptrend with a small down turn but also will eventually go up.

when the bull market I think all the possibilities on the exchange can happen easily, no one knows how many bitcoins go up and no one knows the bitcoin can always go up or down. you better follow the situation and do not be too greedy.

Hey guys!!! Though I know about bitcoin ang Coin market I did not already know what is bull market? Can you elaborate or explaine to what it is briefly.??
Thanks in advance.

In fact, it's always different. It is not certain when the market is unfolding. I usually focus on the time period, if 3-5 day candles close in the opposite direction it means a turn, but each situation is still unique.

can be said with the Market Bull is his increase exceeds 10%, because every 10% is certainly a lot of profits.

suppose if you have 1 Bitcoin and its price with Fiat up 10%, then your profit is about 0.1 of 1 Bitcoin.
1 Bitcoin = $ 7000 X 10% = $ 700, if it rises within 1 hour it will make you rich.

Can we consider market situation as bull market when a long trend with only one way up. Increase in price above 20% gain and continues to to pump above 50% and it happen in most coins and altcoins not just only in a certain currency. The numbers of buyer is stronger than the sellers.

If I think maybe when the bullish market is not determined by the percentage increase. The market is said to be bullish if almost all tokens show a positive rise and there is a significant increase in volume. We can know how the market is stable, tending to decline or decrease. We know, at times like this we are in a better position to know whether we are in a bull market or not.

Few day ago, the market seem bullish but now it over. People still consider buying or selling in this time, whales still not start to put more money to the market and everything moving make traders angry. No sign of downtrend, no sign of uptrend, these can cause more people will quit the market soon.

Quit? Traders have been in this market for quite a long time now and i don't think a stagnant movement would push them to quit. We've learned how to be flexible both for bear, bull and slow markets all the same.

I don't have idea how much increase in the market we can say that we come across a bull market.For me, as long as market price won't go down any further, I presume that it is already in a bullish market.Or maybe when bitcoin price break or reach the $7K margin and slowly moves upward then that would be the start of a bull market.

It is difficult to say a specific level to know the market is rising. I do not think there will be any specific growth rates, which are considered "bull market" trends. There is a lot of contrast. Each person has different views on the market price increases. Let's set the rule of how much % of market growth, and trust it. I myself, when the market rises from 16% or more, is said to be the bull market.

Bull market means fluctuating of huge prices but as of today, the market is so volatile because people are still not sure if they will focus on trading or selling their coins since there are new laws on different countries about cryptocurrency which is changing the mind set of every trader.

It is hard to tell when a the bottom or the peak will take place on a market, bull market is characterised by continuous price increase.
On bull market the supply is lower and there is positive demand for longer period and this leads to price increase.
Investors should invest early on bull market to be able to benefit from price increase.

Actually this bear or bull, it depends on the market and how it is behaving. Right now, you can’t say this is even bear or bull, because one day this seems to get high prices and bear is on the way and the very next day or two days, prices start dropping again and again and we are coming up with Bull Run. So just leave this discussion and get your concentration on trading, earn better.

I think if bitcoin could start increase the price to 20% everyday and you will see the buying order are increasing the demand of bitcoin increase which the start of bullish run.

It is difficult to put percentage but the bull market will starts soon. There is a constant rise in the growth of bitcoin. Now the market is down, so many people are using this chance to buy more bitcoins for future. Some are holding the bitcoin for long time and eagerly waiting for bull market. So we can expect the bull market from next month itself. Otherwise it will takes some time to happen.

A bull market is a market of a group of securities in which prices are rising or are expected to rise. In crypto-market without insider information you cannot predict bull market. What about ICO investment, what's you main july-august project/projects? ??? :) I'm interested in Kelvin Blockchain and some others ICO. Read this article on Medium and you'll get all the information about this interesting project -https://medium.com/@kelvinchain/the-post-quantum-era-of-blockchain-todays-solutions-for-the-world-of-tomorrow-16bdd970f49a (https://medium.com/@kelvinchain/the-post-quantum-era-of-blockchain-todays-solutions-for-the-world-of-tomorrow-16bdd970f49a)

If I think the bullish market is characterized by optimism and investor confidence and hope that the results will continue. Depending on what technical method we use, the bull market may be different, for example the bull market in the wave, slightly different from the technical analysis, it all means the market just goes up the different details basically when in foreclosure.

really great. You gave enough answer for that question. Keep up the good work man. I hope this will happen for bitcoin very soon. If its happen i am the most happiest man in the world. Thats why i am holding my coins.

The market today is not a bull because the price is stacked at $6k dollars, there is a huge chance that bitcoins will grow for over $50k dollars since more people in the market today can invest a huge amount because of the governments legalization.

Bull market is the price going up in several month, like last year from january to december the price of BTC keep going up. Bull market will changed to bearish when the price overbought because many trader become seller. I hope end of this year bull run will start again so everyone can make good money.

I think similarly, bitcoin should see at least one more dip and after a long wait, we can see another bull run.. But when bitcoin stays stable, there are altcoin parties.. Everyone can benefit of it.

To me, I can only say we are in bull market when current price is more than the previous bull run

When the bull market comes, the price of all coins will continue to increase, there is no limit to this increase, and such an increase does not distinguish the type of cryptocurrency, such an increase is called a bull market!

You can see that the bull market has ended and is now a bear market, and you can see that bitcoins have been steadily dropping over the past seven months and are now down more than 70% in value. Only at $ 6000. I believe that at this time you should not invest long term in bitcoin and only make short term investments and day trading to be profitable with the least risk.

i think it is not about how much it is but how long it will keep to increase. because if it only pump in short time and then down again, i think it is bull trap because only to make traders that not have a lot of experience to join stream of market

Can someone explain me why an ETF is such a favorable thing? Bitcoin has survived without this for a decade, and suddenly everything pivots on wether there is an ETF or not (or whatever other system that helps large investors). Shouldn’t we want bitcoin to be bitcoin, somewhat equally distributed among a world population, before making the rich...more rich?

A bull market will occur if there is good news that can trigger an increase in bitcoin prices at the exchange place if there is still no good news, it seems that it will be very difficult to do a bull market.

Yes, Everyone is waiting for ETF. If EFT is approved (which is very likely to be approved), it will bring big boost in the crypto world and you can not imagine how big this will be for bitcoins and altcoins. I think it is time people should realize that by the end of this year we will have another big bull run. We have be in bear market for last 7, 8 months and now it is time for start of bull season.
Keep your hopes alive.  :)

We have experiencing this every year and it's totally not new for everyone but a long bearish trend definitely gives worries for newbies.  At the start of the 3rd quarter we expecting for bull runs to start but we are just failed. But there is still enough time to recover may we could see good trend before 3rd quarter ends.

Yes there is no limit on here because normally the prices can swings a lot like $500 in an hour so we can never predict that when the bull market starts maybe we can conclude that the price of cryptos increased 20% or more in few days might results in bull market.

In my own definition, bull market happens when their is good news of cryptocurrency everywhere in the market and new people are coming into the space. When the demand is more than the supply, this causes bull market

20-25%: It is exactly the growth of the coins that can be called the bull market. I believe that we will see this bullish trend very soon, in several months.

Bull in the market it is not enough. Now bears are still strong and moods of players of this market are ready for sale. When bulls come it is unknown

Actually I get into Cryptocurrency last year which I really don't know how high it was but regarding to this year I think is going to beat last year I see Many analysts are still predicting anywhere from $25,000 -$40,000 Bitcoin prices in the near-term. If BTC can go from $2651 on this date in 2017 to almost $20k by December why can’t it go from today’s “sagging” price of $6168 to over $30k over the next 6–8 months? Bitcoin is still the gold standard of all cryptocurrencies.

Maybe we are facing such depressions right now but we should not forget that cryptocurrency is such a volatile and risky investment.If you will not take risks like holding your coins up to the present even with a continuous fall,then you will not gain profit if a bull run suddenly comes in.I know it will still come but the time is uncertain.

In my opinion we can say the crypto in bull market if the price going up 5x to 100x just like in 2017, and if the crypto just going up 10% to 30% and then going down that i will call only uptrend.

Until the state regulation of cryptocurrency is introduced on a global scale (and this will happen in June-July 2019,FATF), we do not see a good bull market.In the next 2-3 months, the bitcoin exchange rate will stabilize around 3800-4000 dollars.

i think if bitcoin rise above $10k maybe we could called it bull run.but if still moved below that level, we was still in bearish trend.and maybe still need long time to recovery.
