Honestly, many people confuse two concepts when talking about growth in the crypto market. A bull run is not just a price increase, but rather a explosive surge when the market accelerates sharply over a short period. This can be several days or a couple of weeks of intense growth, which looks very different from a long-term upward trend.

Let me clarify: when talking about a bull run, it refers to a short-term phenomenon, not a multi-month ascent. A bull market can last for years, but a bull run is a temporary acceleration within that trend or even a separate episode. The difference is that one lasts long and is stable, while the other is an explosive, often speculative jump.

What triggers such surges? Usually, it's a combination of factors. You see a sharp increase in trading volumes plus positive news plus FOMO among traders and investors. In crypto, this is especially noticeable due to volatility. It could be approval of a new ETF, protocol upgrades, or simply news that a major company invested in cryptocurrency. Media starts writing about it, people see the growth and want to jump on the bandwagon, demand rises, prices soar upward. A cyclical process.

Currently, interesting signals are visible in the market. Since last year, Bitcoin has shown steady growth on weekly and monthly charts. Institutional investors are again interested in crypto, which inevitably influences prices. Regulators are becoming more lenient, new crypto ETFs are emerging, and this really attracts serious money. Technical indicators, like RSI, show bullish signals on higher timeframes, similar to those before previous major rises.

Altcoins are also starting to attract attention. When Bitcoin grows steadily, investors begin looking for other assets to diversify. This is a classic sign that a bull run may already be in motion. The current Bitcoin price around 78.41K with a daily increase of 2.4% indicates positive momentum.

But here’s what’s important to understand: not every surge is a real bull run. Local jumps due to speculation or manipulation can look like the start of a big move, but then suddenly reverse. Many newcomers buy at the peak of hype, thinking it’s just the beginning, only to face a correction. Before entering a position, it’s better to check fundamental factors and the overall news context. Remember, a bull run can be a short phenomenon, and its peak is not always obvious in real time.
