A bull market is a period of time during   which stock prices are generally rising. This is often accompanied by increased investor confidence and optimism. The   term "bull market" is derived from the way a bull attacks its prey by thrusting its horns up into the air.

A bear market is a period of time during which stock prices are generally falling. This is often accompanied by decreased investor confidence and pessimism. The term "bear market" is derived from the way a bear swipes its paws downward.

It is important to note that stock market trends are not always clear-cut, and it is possible for a market to transition from a bull market to a bear market or vice versa. It is also possible for a market to experience both bull and bear phases within a single year or even within a single day. It is important for investors to carefully consider their investment strategies and risk tolerance in both bull and bear markets.
