por la situación de "hambre" en el mercado (cuando la demanda supera a la oferta)

I'm trying to find a good way to say this. I think. Due to the bull trend in the market, but I'm not sure.

voraciousness; overheated demand;


Explanation:
depends on how closely you want to stick to the text. But I would definitely stay away from <bull[ish] trend>, which is only used when stocks are on the rise.

Excess demand


Explanation:
At prices above the equilibrium (P*) there is excess supply while at prices below the equilibrium (P*) there is excess demand. The effect of excess supply is to force the price down, while excess demand creates shortages and forces the price up. The price where the amount consumers want to buy equals the amount producers are prepared to sell is the equilibrium market price.
