Why "Bull" and "Bear" ? Why these cheesy lingo instead of using more descriptive terms?

Bullcucks and bearcucks
You can also use the terms bullfags and bearfags

What's downward dog?

ppl with big sacks of cash will always be just and right
sadly u cannot buy intelligence with cash, therefore the dumb rich ppl are allowed to name whatever magical line technique they use such as 'long & short', 'X something triangle' and 'adam and eve bottoms' etc
These names are no better than the names used in rock paper scissors

i thought it was because bulls can only walk upstairs (not down) and bears can only walk downstairs (not up)

Short terms + symbolism, my faggot friend.

You could call it whagever the fuck you want you don't have to use the same lingo as all the other trader. Call it ballsack and tumor for all anyone cares.

But who's the big dog?

You sound like one of those reddit science faggots who like to name everything either in longwinded working titles that get swapped out later on in real speech when they hit the mainstream (unironically like "cryptocurrency", holy fucking 14 letters and 5 syllables Batman!), or after the Greek gods you just learned about from Wikipedia

t. Pissed linguistics major

the bear has long represented the bottom, or nadir, of the world, while the bull is nature's perfect machine, and is often called the zenith of the animal kingdom

The phrases originated in Chicago (home of one of the most prominent derivatives market) in the early 90s. In the early 90s the Chicago Bulls were on the upswing. Michael Jordan was showing flashes of greatness and the Bulls were consistently one of the top teams in the East. Everyone knew they were going to be a force to be reckoned with in the coming years (and indeed they were, they won 6 championships in the 90s). The Chicago Bears on the other hand, won a Super Bowl in 85 but slowly had deteriorated since then. They won a few division titles, but everyone knew the best was behind them. So, In contrast to the rising Bulls, the general sentiment is that the Bears were on a downward trend (the Bears did not make it to another Super Bowl until 2007, which they lost). Both of these Chicago teams were experiencing opposite effects in public sentiment, Bulls rising and Bears falling, lead to Chicagoans using the term "Bullish" and "Bearish" in everyday circumstances and eventually it spilled over into their financial sector, and the rest of the world followed.
