Crypto on Paper: Episode 11 – Bulls Vs Bears in Crypto Trading
The animal kingdom of crypto isn’t just wild, it’s wildly emotional.
If you’ve ever been on Crypto Twitter, you’ve probably seen it:
= bullish.
= bearish.
And then there’s you = confused.
Don’t worry. We’ve all been there. Let’s break it down.
What Does “Bullish” Mean?
If someone says they’re bullish on Bitcoin, it means they believe the price is going up. Way up. Like “to the moon” up.
The term comes from the way a bull attacks, it charges upward with its horns. And that’s how bullish traders behave: confident, aggressive, full of hope (and usually vibes).
In a bull market, prices are rising, people are FOMO-ing, and everyone suddenly becomes a financial expert.
Signs of a bull market:
- Prices trending up for weeks or months
- Lots of hype and media attention
- People making money (and noise) on social media
- New investors entering the market
What Does “Bearish” Mean?
Being bearish means you believe prices are going down. Way down. Maybe even ugly cry down.
It’s inspired by how a bear attacks, it swipes downward with its paws. Bearish traders are cautious, skeptical, and sometimes even hoping the market crashes (so they can buy low).
In a bear market, everything feels cold and harsh:
- Prices fall over a sustained period
- People panic-sell
- Meme coins disappear faster than your airtime
- Even the influencers go quiet
So… Why Does It Matter?
Understanding bulls and bears helps you:
- Know how people feel about the market
- Adjust your trading strategy
- Avoid emotional FOMO or panic-selling
It’s not about predicting the future, it’s about reading the room.
Final Thoughts
Every trader has a little bull and bear in them.
Some days you’re confident, other days you’re cautious and that’s okay.
