5 Things Every Crypto Trader Should Expect in a Bull Market

The signs are clear everywhere: we have officially entered the early stages of a crypto bull market!

With BTC breaking its all-time high (ATH) daily and legacy coins rocketing toward their previous ATH, something big is certainly about to happen.

The market is brimming with positive sentiment. But the question is: Are you ready for what could be the wildest crypto bull run in history?

In this post, I’ll share 5 things that happen in a bull market every crypto trader can’t ignore.

The Bull Market Playbook: 5 Things to Watch Out For

1. Market Pump: Bullish Streak of Green Candles

It’s common knowledge that a bull run is when crypto asset prices soar in a frenzied manner, driven by steady and explosive gains.

Already, you can see the impact on prices, with Bitcoin constantly reaching new ATH, the latest being $99,588 at the time of writing—almost a $100K Bitcoin.

Altcoins are also trending up, with some already surpassing their ATH.

The recent shockwave in the market was the sudden resurgence of legacy tokens, notably Sandbox and XLM, with XLM delivering an eye-popping 450% gain in just two weeks. A scenario described as, “We are so back, guys.”

But what drives these gains?

Now, over the past two years of a bearish market marked by price drops, speculation grew that the next crypto bull season would occur in 2024–2025, a prediction even endorsed by CZ Binance.

If you’re new to crypto, you might wonder why this forecast holds weight.

Uniquely, the 2024 halving saw Bitcoin hit an ATH of $74,000 even before the event.

Other catalysts fueling this uptrend include the launch of crypto ETFs and Donald Trump’s win.

These developments have propelled the market upward, creating a streak of green candles as prices continue to rally.

2. Coin Battle: Chains Compete to Climb to the Top

This could lead to lower-ranked blockchain gaining dominance over previously top-ranked ones as they all compete for TVL, market share, and fame.

Let’s look at a previous event!

During the last bull run, BNB rose from a low-ranked coin to become the third-largest cryptocurrency, with its price skyrocketing from under…
