Bull

In the context of cryptocurrency trading, a "bull" refers to someone who is optimistic about the price of a particular cryptocurrency or the market as a whole. Bullish investors believe that prices will rise and often take positions accordingly.

Examples:

1. Bitcoin Bull Market: In 2017, Bitcoin experienced a massive bull market where its price surged from around $1,000 to nearly $20,000 within a year. During this period, many investors were bullish on Bitcoin, expecting its price to continue rising.
2. Ethereum Bull Run: Ethereum, the second-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization, has seen several bull runs in its history. For instance, in early 2021, Ethereum's price soared to new all-time highs above $4,000, driven by bullish sentiment fueled by the growth of decentralized finance (DeFi) and non-fungible tokens (NFTs) on its blockchain.
3. Altcoin Bullish Sentiment: Besides Bitcoin and Ethereum, many altcoins (alternative cryptocurrencies) have also experienced bull runs. For example, during the initial coin offering (ICO) boom of 2017-2018, numerous altcoins saw significant price increases, with some outperforming even Bitcoin in terms of percentage gains.

In all these cases, bullish investors were optimistic about the future prospects of the respective cryptocurrencies, driving demand and pushing prices higher.
