Morphology
buybull + mentality
The headword 'buybull' is a non-standard coinage and not listed in the dictionary, so a learner who only knows ordinary senses of the parts may struggle; however, 'mentality' clearly marks an attitude and the elements 'buy' + 'bull' hint at bullish/optimistic buying in markets. Because the overall sense is partially inferable from these pieces but relies on financial metaphor and specialized knowledge (bull = rising market), it is not fully predictable for an average B1 learner.
Etymology
Buybull mentality mixes buy and bull to make a clear picture: imagine a bull charging forward while investors keep buying and pushing prices up. That image explains why the phrase means 'a confident attitude' among investors who believe 'markets will keep rising' and so 'buy a lot'.
