The term “long” means that you take a position in the market that will appreciate if the market goes up. On the other hand, “short” refers to a position that will make money if the market declines. Trading options is a common way to take a position, and the existence of mechanisms for speculators to take both short and long positions means that it's possible to profit in both bull (up) and bear (down) markets.
