I think many of you have wondered what happens to the market when prices start to explode. In fact, this is called a bull run, and it’s the moment when the vast majority of investors become optimistic and start buying aggressively.
A bull run doesn’t happen out of nowhere. It occurs when demand exceeds supply, confidence in the market reaches high levels, and all investors become what is called "bulls"—people who believe prices will continue to rise. It’s a positive feedback loop: as more people buy, prices go up, which attracts even more investors.
Now, something interesting I’ve noticed: the price of a cryptocurrency, especially Bitcoin, heavily depends on public confidence and what we call "market sentiment." That’s why some investors constantly try to read this sentiment to anticipate when a bull run will come.
Speaking of Bitcoin, I’ve seen many people who predicted that a true bull run would start when BTC surpassed $48,000. Well, that already happened—now Bitcoin is at $77,780. So yes, the bull run has fully manifested.
What’s interesting is that now we’re all wondering if there’s still room for growth or if we’re already at the peak. But that’s another story. The point is, understanding the concept of a bull run and how market dynamics work is essential if you want to navigate crypto better.
