The end of the bear market is officially here, according to Morgan Stanley’s Chief Information Officer. This sentiment follows a significant sell-off in April, which marks the final stage of the previous downtrend and signals the start of a new bull market phase. The CIO notes that this bull phase has been underway for approximately four months and highlights the characteristically shallow pullbacks seen during such periods – offering limited opportunities for investors to enter. Historically, bull markets typically last one to two years, if not longer, indicating that we’re only in the early stages of this new market cycle. This bullish outlook extends to the cryptocurrency market as well, with institutional and sovereign funds driving inflows into traditional asset classes like Bitcoin and Ethereum, positioning them as primary investment targets.
