Glossary
A bull market is a prolonged period of rising asset prices, typically accompanied by investor optimism and strong economic indicators.
A bull market is when stocks keep going up for months or years — everyone feels confident and FOMO kicks in.
No universal definition exists; commonly 20%+ rise from recent lows qualifies. Bull phases in Indian markets (2003–2007, 2014–2017, post-2020) featured strong FII inflows and earnings growth. Excess optimism can inflate valuations and bubble risk.
Nifty 50 rising from 12,000 to 18,000 over 18 months reflects a bull market. SIP investors benefit from rising NAVs; lump-sum entrants face higher entry valuations.
Duration varies widely — from months to several years. Predicting turns is difficult; disciplined asset allocation outlasts market timing.
Continuing SIPs through bull markets builds discipline. Consider rebalancing if equity allocation exceeds targets rather than stopping investments.
Rising rates, earnings disappointments, geopolitical shocks, or extreme valuations often precede corrections — but timing tops is notoriously hard.
