Everyone is now wondering whether we're in a bull run or if it's just another false breakout. So let's clarify what's really happening in the market.

First, it's important to understand the difference between what people usually confuse. A bull market is a long-term thing — months, years — when prices steadily rise and everyone is optimistic. A bull run is something different — it's a short, explosive period when prices suddenly shoot up. It lasts from days to weeks and is often triggered by a specific news event or development. Basically, it's like turbocharging within the broader trend.

What actually signals that something is happening? When you see a sudden jump in price and trading volume spikes — that's the basics. But also pay attention to what's happening around: media coverage intensifies, people start searching for crypto articles, analysts give bullish forecasts. All of this together creates a self-reinforcing optimism.

Another sign is when big institutions start pouring money in. When you see hedge funds or pension funds buying, or when a new ETF gets approved — that has a strong impact. In the crypto space, you can see this in news about Bitcoin being added to large company portfolios.

Now, regarding whether we're in a bull run right now — there are a few indicators. Since last year, Bitcoin has been rising on weekly and monthly charts, which is not accidental. Technical indicators like RSI show bullish signals. Institutional interest has returned, people are discussing new ETFs and regulatory changes. And you see interest shifting from Bitcoin to various altcoins — a classic sign that something is moving.

But beware — not every jump is a real bull run. People often confuse it with local speculative pumps. When you decide to buy, you should check the fundamentals, not just that the price jumped. Many people who buy at the top of a mania face sharp corrections afterward.

Technically, there was talk that Bitcoin could go to $83,000, then $90,000 — those were targets that hadn't been reached yet. If that happens, it would mean the bull run really has strength. But always remember, history has shown that after an explosive bull run, a sharp decline often follows. Stay grounded, don’t get carried away by hype.
