Morphology
The meaning is directly compositional: 'bull' (an investor expecting prices to rise) combined with 'market' (a trading environment) yields a market characterized by rising prices or bullish sentiment. This financial metaphor is conventional but follows a clear logic, so learners who know the constituent meanings can readily infer the MWE meaning.
Etymology
Bull market may come from the way a bull attacks by pushing its horns up, so people imagine prices in the market going up. That's why a bull market means a time when prices are 'rising'.
