Could you please elaborate on why the term "bearish" is used in the context of cryptocurrency and finance? Is it related to the behavior of bears in nature, or does it stem from a historical or metaphorical meaning? How does it relate to the market trends and investor sentiment? I'm curious to understand the origins and significance of this terminology.

The terminology of "bullish" and "bearish" stems from the distinct combat strategies of bulls and bears in nature. Bulls, renowned for their aggression, attack by lifting their horns upwards, symbolizing a positive or upward market trend.

Conversely, bears employ a tactic of pulling their opponents downwards, which aligns with a negative or downward market movement, hence the term "bearish."

When investors perceive growth potential and expect prices to rise, the market is considered bullish, akin to a bull charging forward.

On the other hand, if investors anticipate a decline in prices or economic activity, the market is labeled bearish, mirroring a bear's downward pull.
