How Bull & Bear Attack Stock Market
Bull & Bear are animals but stock market actually adopted their attacking style. Whenever the market falls, people tend to say that the market is in bear mode or the trend is bearish. On the other hand, when the market rises, traders and investors say that the market trend is bullish or in bull mode.
Normally a bear attack with claws and in the downward direction so in a bearish trend stock price started to fall. On contrary to bear, a bull uses horns to attack from down to upward direction and so in a bullish trend stock price started to rise.
In fact, bullish and bearish are two types of traders or investors. One who is bullish is normally optimistic about the stock market and who is bearish normally a pessimistic about the stock market.
Bullish traders are always in buy mode as they believe the stock or market price may rise. So, a bullish trader tends to attack the market by buying stocks continuously.
On the other hand, bearish traders are always in selling mode in anticipation that the price of stocks may fall further. Accordingly, a bearish trader attack market by selling stocks.
How To Know Bull & Bear Market Trends
As I told you in the beginning that if the market goes up, then you can expect it to come down. All you need is to wait for some time and it will surely start to fall at some point in time.
Normally a bull & bear trend is determined by macro and a microeconomic factor which affect the stock price to move up or down. You need to react to the factors and take your position as a bull or bear.

Macro factors like war declaration, inflation, employment, political transformation, international crises and many more. On the other hand, micro factors affect single stocks as a result, management change, awesome product launch, and others. So, all you need is to keep your eye and ear open while trading in the stock market.
In addition, bullish investors see bearish market trends as an opportunity to buy good and fundamentally strong stocks and adopt buy on dips strategy. When the market is in bear mode, try to find good stocks and invest for a longer period and avoid small correction.
At the end who remain in the share market for a longer period become a millionaire and not a trader. Traders always lose money in anticipation of quick gains. Big bulls of stock market like Warren Buffet, Rakesh Jhunjhunwala, and Radhakishan Damani become a billionaire by investing for long-term.
Conclusion
As a newbie, you need to invest when the price of any stock started to take off and sell whenever the price started to fall. But the problem is nobody can’t predict the exact trend of the market.
So, it is always to better exit from a stock whenever you’re in profit. It may happen that market breaks its peak and make new high and so your profit margin shrink as you have sold at a lower price.
But don’t be greedy at this point as at least you are sitting on profits. Have patience and the stock market will provide you ample of opportunities.
