Bull market

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

[gaurav@zup]

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. 
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.
