Are we in a bull market again?

Crypto woke up

Are we in a bull market again?

After months of red charts and "is it over?" headlines, Bitcoin just did what it always does eventually — it turned around.

In early August, BTC was struggling in the low $60,000s. Today, it's trading around $80,000 — a move of roughly +28% in under a month.

If you're new to crypto, you've probably heard people throw around "bull market" and "bear market" these days like everyone's supposed to just know what it means. Let's fix that.

Bulls and bears, explained

Prices trend up over a sustained period. Confidence is high, people are buying

Prices trend down over a sustained period. Fear takes over, people sell

So where are we right now?

There's no clear moment where a chart flips from "bear" to "bull". People only agree on what happened weeks or months after the fact.

But quick look at the last 7 days says a lot:

  • Bitcoin (BTC) — up over 20% on the month
  • Dogecoin (DOGE) — up roughly 32% in a week
  • Solana (SOL) — up close to 26% over the same period

When almost every major coin moves double digits at once, that's not one lucky asset — that's the whole market's mood shifting.

You won't know until it's over

Nobody rings a bell when a real bull run starts. This could be it — or just a bounce before the market drops right back down. You won't know which until it's already happened.

This means waiting for certainty is its own gamble. The best strategy is consistency.
