2.Market Sentiment: Optimism among investors, often reflected in higher trading volumes and increased buying activity.

5.Sector Performance: Broad-based participation across various sectors can signify strength in the market.
6.Increased Trading Volume: Higher trading volumes often accompany rising prices, suggesting strong interest from investors.
Monitoring these factors can help determine if you’re in a bull market, but it’s always wise to consider multiple indicators together for a clearer picture.
