During my research about bitcoin,I was acquainted with the paraphrase BULL RUN, which from a wide range of meaning it's a state or period of time when the prices of stock's and shares rise above normal.
Then Reflecting it back on bitcoin I learnt it is when crypto prices increase rapidly and significantly, so when the bitcoin prices increases what happens to the stock market?? Which drive me back to this question that "WHY IS BITCOIN ALWAYS IN A STATE OF BULL RUN"BTC

Bullrun is believed to be the peak period of bitcoin price whereby it rises steadily and this is caused by the halving event that occurs every four years, people invest and hodl till this period is achieved and we have next year as the target on the next event, other cryptocurrencies and stocks also have the tendencies to rise along during this period.


The bitcoin network is not a dependent of stock market but whenever there's bullrun like this, other stock market tends to increases as well but not a must, while other cryptocurrencies also increases as well during this period and at the same time, it's such a period that needs total attention and carefulness because the bitcoin use to be very high in volatility which means within a couple of times anything can change that it goes dip or high.


1. Because halving occur
2. To increase it value
3. To make it more profitable
4. To serve as an investment asset or currencies
5. To shows it's volatile and Decentralized

If you want to learn about bitcoin speculation, you have to do it alone, do not relate it in anyway to stocks.

Bitcoin was at $16000 for few months last year in fourth quarter, but the price rose from $16000 to $31000. That was bull run too. There has been massive bull run after halving too which have always been massive enough to lead to all-time-high, but bull run can occur at anytime after bear market.

The event that happens every 4 years is called "Bitcoin Halving." This could be seen as the process of reducing the total mining reward by half, controlling the rate at which new Bitcoin are produced (mined), and at the same time controlling the number of Bitcoin in circulation.
The first halving happened in 2012, when the reward for miners was reduced from 50 Bitcoin as mining reward for each block to 25, which is a total reduction by half of the actual figure. This kind of reduction happens every 4 years; the last halving was around 2020, which brought down the block reward to 6 BTC+ per block (don't know the accurate figure), so next year 2024 is the expected next halving. This kind of event is usually among things that trigger a bull run.

You also need to research what are the triggering factors occurs so that you would know the exact reason why this phenomenon happen.

Halving plus hype is one contributing occurrence why we see such huge effect in bitcoin. Also don't look only at the bright side since there are scenarios what we called bear market season it happens after those big pumps already happen and we need to be careful since a heavy price slide down will happen so we shouldn't get fomo and  make sure we are in profit whenever such bear market season will occur.

Who says that bitcoin is "always in the state of bull run" because I never heard someone saying that.

True, many of us here belive that in the long run bitcoin price will keep going up, but there are periods when the opposite is happening therefore bitcoin ain't  in the permanent state of bull run.

Are stock market and the crypto market correlated? Not that I know of.

It's because if you look at the history of it up to this moment, we can say that it's always on a bull run. But that's a good point of view by looking at that side. And if you're new, you won't look at that matter but will only look at the perspective when it has reached the ATH and then with today's price.

Why would you even ask such question, you mentioned you did your research on bull run did you by any chance see any where it was said Bitcoin or Crypto-currency has any link with the stock market? If Bitcoin rises it has a potentials of affecting other coins in the crypto-currency market and it has nothing to do with the stock market m

You actually got the definition of the bull run correctly I still don't understand why you still acting ignorant, for a while now the Bitcoin Market nor the crypto-currency market hasn't seen any considerable consistent rise meaning we aren't yet in the bull run, I wonder where you came about with your narrative.

Can you elaborate on what makes you think that "bitcoin is always in a state of bull run"? Where did you find such a claim?

It is true that Bitcoin has been on the rise since it was created but there are times when it falls down as well. The other question that comes to mind is about what makes people invest in Bitcoin and why does it keep going up?

The answer is simple: Bitcoin has a lot of potential and it is not just a currency, but also a store of value. It has been around for more than 13 years now and there are many people who use it in their day-to-day lives. There are also many new investors who are taking advantage of its growing popularity and investing in it because they believe that this trend will continue.

A lot of times (obviously not 100% of the time) — the stock market moves independently, but if it moves, bitcoin mostly follows it. Bitcoin doesn't affect stocks as much as how stocks affect bitcoin.



It's simply not. Take a look at bitcoin's chart and tell me if you see that bitcoin is always in a bull run.

Stock market may crash or uptrend since both arguments are supported when Bitcoin market is in the state of bull run.  In short the reaction of the stock exchange on the Bitcoin bull run is dependent on the condition of the global economy.



I am curious what make you think that Bitcoin is always in a state of bull run? Don't you know Bitcoin at the current state is considered as bear market? So we can say that Bitcoin isn't at the bull run state atm.



I don't think this answers the question nor relevant to the question asks.


Probably @OP standard price of Bitcoin is its orginal price which is less than a dollar, and looking at the price history and from his point of Bitcoin pricing, then it is really an abnormal increase for Bitcoin selling above $26k which should not be the case since Bitcoin has already its ups and downs and the initial price point to consider Bitcoin being bullish or not is continuously changing.

Bitcoin operates in cycles, for a cycle to occur there has to be up periods and the down periods to complete the ring, this is the reflection of the Bitcoin market. We have periods of price spike where the chart is in the green zone and the general sentiment is very optimistic, this is the Bull run. We also have the down periods where the chart is mostly red and fear and panic is wide spread, this is the bear market.

In economics both of this seasons complement each other, bear markets are needed tmfor consolidation and price stability as a constant rise is not feasible for any product. So, to answer your question; bitcoin is not always in a bull run.

Bitcoin are in no relation to the stock market, you can’t completely believe that bitcoin price increase will definitely have effect on the stock market. They’re completely independent and their correlation cannot be ascertained.


Bitcoin being in a state of halving as you claim has different views from the way different people see it. What you see as a bull run might not look like one to others. A little increase in the price is already a bull run since it’s not depreciating against the existing price of the market at that moment the price change takes place. But what many people see as bull run ultimately, is a state where there’s a very high surge in price that could almost double the existing price at the moment the price change takes effect.


This is the time the reward for miners is being halved and it takes place after every four years. In anticipation for this event or when it takes place it usually cause a bull run in the market where bitcoin always surpass its current all time high and gets to a new ATH. From past history, it has been believed to be so and by next year 2024, next halving is expected to take place again.

In my opinion, that's the reality but, if there is negative sentiment related to world financial issues it seems that market price movements also have an effect, for example on the stock market and BTC as well. the reason i am an investor is not only to invest in BTC, they also spread it in stocks and more because it is a world of finance and it is intertwined even though the percentages vary.

Do you really mean this question? I think you are asking while bitcoin always be at bearish, because I know quite well that bitcoin doesn't go bullish subsequently, the marketcap of cryptocurrency always go negatively, and it can only be positive when the force of demands is absolutely higher than the supply.

Bitcoin was not always in a bull run from the beginning until now it is noted that there are bull phases and bearish phases. It is recorded in historical data and you need to look back to strengthen research on Bitcoin prices.
I absolutely do not justify if Bitcoin is always in a bull state.
If in real life you present research results like this, then you are conveying misinformation about the state of Bitcoin to people.

Bitcoin is not always in the bullish stage because the price goes up and down based on certain political and economic factors. The price of bitcoin goes up when the demand is high and goes down when people are influenced by FUD to sell off their coins on a large scale. Recently there has been some slight relationship between bitcoin price and stocks. Bitcoin has been a strong hedge against inflation but recently there has been a correlation between the stock exchanges and the price movement of the coin. Bitcoin experienced a lot of challenges that brought its price down last year. But this year has been favorable because the coin has remained stable to a large extent. But next year will be better because of the halving and the price will go up.

To tell you the truth, Bitcoin is more often in bear than in bull run if we evaluate it by piece meal on monthly or yearly basis. I know if we take a historic view of it from its inception till date we will be forced to agree that it's always in a bull run. Now, the current bull run or any at that is often driven by FOMO and expectations of favourable news on Bitcoin. What is driving the current bull run is the upcoming halving expected to take place in 2024. So, yes, those buying now are making a nice choice of investing in Bitcoin and shouldn't sell until 2025 when a fresh ATH is expected.

If you are saying always in the state of Bull run then i doubt you know much about Bitcoin price movement. Since late 2021 Bitcoin went into the dip it only tried making some correction in 2023 in which those corrections to me is not enough to say Bitcoin has entered bull run except for new traders who probably bought at a relatively low price and are standing on their profit but for old investors who probably bought from when Bitcoin started approaching its ATH around middle and late 2021 the bull season hasn't yet began for them.

The halving event which will be April 27, 2024 at 05:57 UTC. Please Note. Halvings are considered as important events that can affect the market and spark interest and speculation among the cryptocurrency community. If you invest in BTC or others staying informed and watching the market in the coming weeks means Monitoring Bitcoin price action and analyzing indicators such as support levels, technical indicators and market sentiment. thus you can make a more informed decision regarding the trade entry point.

Bitcoin isn't ALWAYS IN A STATE OF BULL RUN, I don't know where you heard that.

Bitcoin bull run is basically the price of bitcoin increasing exponentially In a particular period of time. Like bitcoin rising from 16k 30k.

The fact that bitcoin can increase almost 1.6 times it's initial price also means that it could fall too.

There's no correlation between the stock market and the crypto market, which doesn't directly impact the traditional stock market when Bitcoin price moves upward or it's having a bullrun.

Always in a state of bullrun?
No Bitcoin doesn't move like that but if you'll ask why there's a bull run or if it always often happens just because there will only ever be 21 million Bitcoins in existence, and this limited supply creates a potential for a price increase when demand increases.  Another factor could be Bitcoin's halving events, which reduce the rate at which new Bitcoins are created and potentially Bitcoin price will become a bull run.

You got that right :)

"Always" is an overstatement!

The only reason why you might say "Always" is because everyone wants the piece of the pie that the early adopters  got..so at any given chance we always want to hype the coin so that it can hit an all time high for most to cashout and emulate the first crypto millionaire...but we all know that crypto today isn't as speculative and volatile as it was back then which means we have to wait longer.

Btw from how markets move, we can not have a continuous bull run because markets need to accumulate and expand , which means generate liquidity (fuel) which price can use to go up,  without it price won't get where it needs to be.

Your idea may not be right. If you have seen the past years, you will understand. Where BTC has gone from where it has reached. Hold on, maybe something better can be expected.
