Solution
When the market makes a bullish move, this means it is moving upwards, and when it makes a bearish move, this means it is moving downwards. Bulls are usually people who have bought a certain currency pair or financial instrument (or those who expect it to go up), and bears are those who sold the instrument or expect it to go down.
The names come from the typical movements of a bull and a bear. A bull usually butts up his opponent whereas a bear smacks his victim down. In the same sense, bulls want to take the price up, and bears want to take the price down. The price eventually moves in the direction of the strongest of either one of those two sides.

Bullish trend means that the bulls are dominant on the market, they push the price upward and it means that you have to buy the asset if the particular one has bullish trend.
Bearish is otherwise, means that bears are dominant currently on the market and they try to drop down the price, hence if you see bearish trend, then it's a signal to sell the asset.
Moreover, there are trend reversals, which might be determined by patterns and figures, like triangle or maybe flags. The point that the asset is either oversold or overbought and there will be a trend reversal soon. Maybe the trend will be changed by the flat.

In the Forex market, the terms "bullish" and "bearish" are used to describe the direction of market sentiment or the trend of a currency pair.
A bullish market refers to a market where prices are expected to rise, and traders are optimistic and confident. In this market, traders typically buy or hold onto currency pairs in the hope of selling them later at a higher price.
On the other hand, a bearish market refers to a market where prices are expected to fall, and traders are pessimistic and cautious. In this market, traders typically sell or short currency pairs in the hope of buying them back later at a lower price.
These terms are also used to describe a particular currency pair's price movement, with a "bullish" trend indicating an upward movement and a "bearish" trend indicating a downward movement.

Dom

bullish and "bearish" refer to market sentiment or the perceived direction of the market.

To put it simply, a bullish market is like a happy, optimistic, and confident bull charging forward, while a bearish market is like a fearful, uncertain, and pessimistic bear retreating into its cave.
