    Bullish means market is going up, prices of stocks are going up, more buying in the market, indecies are moving up.

    Reverse is bearish!

    When both of this is absent it is Lambish or Lamb market, it does not go up, nor does it go down

    Haha you all are giving the straight answer what that means, but I fell like people want to know why do they call it bullish or bearish.

    The answer to that is, when bulls attack they horn whatever they re attacking up in the air as appose to the bear that lifts his body and then slams down on whatever its attacking therefore bulls means up, bears means down.

    That s the basic terminology

    Sure, if you are "bullish" on a stock or the market in general, you think it's going higher. If you're "bearish", you think it's going lower.

    Amazon is considered bearish, would you buy it with shorting it in mind.

    How about this one.

    When a bear goes on his victim he smashes it to the ground with all his might(price falls down).And the bull would instead throw it up and upper (price goes up).

    Bears=Sellers (lots of sales price falls)

    Bulls=Buyers (many buyers price goes up)
