What is a bullish market
Printer FriendlyFont size:  Small  |  Medium  |  Large  |  Extra Large


When the market is going up - bulls are in control. When bulls are in control - its called a bullish market.

Bulls are BUYERS - Bears are SELLERS - so when there are more BUYERS (bulls) - its called a Bullish Market - when there are more SELLERS (bears) - its called a Bearish Market.

Bullish market is also referred to as uptrend market or you can simply say the market is bullish.

In Forex, during the bullish market - the base currency is gaining value and the quote currency is losing value.

For EUR/USD - if this pair is bullish that means EURO is gaining value while USD is losing value.

Since Currencies are traded in pairs the negative effect of one currency has be a positive for other.

Example: There are TWO scenarios where any given currency pair could be bullish.

Let's look at EUR/USD:
  • The Obvious reason: EUR/USD could be bullish because European economy is doing better than US economy
  • The Not-so-obvious reason EUR/USD could be bullish because US economy is doing badly when the European economy is neither good nor bad.
At any given point - the market is in one of the three periods: Bullish, Bearish & Sideways.

The opposite of Bullish Market is Bearish Market
