Bull markets can occur in markets for all kinds of investments. Here are the main types:
– Stock bull markets. The three major stock market indices outlined above tend to move in line with each other and usually boom when the economy is doing well. -Gold bull markets. Physical gold, ETFs, and gold stocks often do well when the stock market is struggling.
As they say, what goes up must come down — and that downward movement is encapsulated in bear markets. The mechanisms here are very similar to those found in a bull market, except for everything happens in reverse: prices decline, so more investors sell, resulting in prices to continually decline.
