If you think that bulls and bears are the only two animals that represent the capital markets e.g stocks, crypto & others, then you are absolutely wrong like the other 90% of the people in this world.
There are 12 different animals apart from bulls and bears that represent investor behaviour along with market sentiments. Let's delve into it.
1. BULLS đ
The regular and usual optimistic approach of investors who think the market will rise.
2. BEARS đ»
Just the opposite, pessimistic investors waiting for the market to fall.
3. RABBITS đ
Traders who hold their position for a very short period of time and scoop a quick buck. They're also known as scalpers.
4. TURTLES đą
The patient ones who believe in long-term investing, trade slowly and focus on long term profit.
5. PIGS đ·
Very greedy and impatient investors who want huge profits and take high risks as well, eventually ending up losing most of the time. An example is "high leverage future traders". So, don't be a pig.
6. OSTRICHES
Investors who ignore negative market news and hope that their investment will survive somehow.
7. CHICKENS đ
Fearful investors who are afraid of taking risks and stick to safe investments. They're even happy with smaller returns.
8. SHEEPS đ

9. DOGS đ
