Within a bull market, various phases occur at different times. One of these phases is known as the ageing bull phase. Vaishnavi Chauhan sheds light on what investors should do during such a period.
Investors have been watching with excitement as stocks soar to new heights and the markets hit all-time highs. The Indian markets have experienced a rally like never before, and with the upcoming Union Budget, there's even more for investors to anticipate. However, just as the saying goes that 'nothing is permanent, there's a rumour among investors that the market might be heading toward an ageing bull phase.
What is an Ageing Bull Phase?
First, let's understand what an ageing bull phase means. Bull rallies (periods when stock prices rise) and bear declines (periods when stock prices fall) are natural parts of stock market cycles, but they don't follow a fixed timeline. Within a bull market, various phases occur at different times. One of these phases is known as the ageing bull phase. An ageing bull market typically refers to a stage filled with excesses, where stocks continue to climb, even though there are warnings to be cautious. In this environment, there is a mix of excitement and nervousness among investors.
Some believe the rally will continue, while others fear that the market may soon reverse course. The sense of excitement comes from watching investments grow, but the nervousness stems from the uncertainty of how long the growth will last. Some investors are optimistic - predicting that the rally will go on while others are more cautious, believing the market might soon decline. The current stock market conditions are showing signs of an ageing or mature bull market. Now in its fourth consecutive year, the bull rally has seen the Sensex and Nifty continue to strengthen, surprising even seasoned investors.
