Etymology
The term bull has its roots in Old English 'bula', which referred to a male bovine. Over time, it evolved in various forms across languages. In the context of markets, the notion of a 'bull' market derives from the way bulls attack by thrusting their horns upwards, symbolizing the trend of rising prices. This metaphor was applied to financial markets in the late 19th century when traders began using animal terms to describe market trends. The transformation into the verb form as 'bulled' reflects both aggressive movement and the nature of the markets themselves.
