Scrolling through the square lately, you’ll notice something peculiar – everyone’s suddenly bearish. The endless warnings about hitting the top have become the dominant narrative. But here’s the thing: when genuine peaks emerge, the vibe is completely different. People don’t panic-sell together; they carefully accumulate on dips, asking “should I add more?” That’s the signal of a healthy bull run.
Right now? The market is flooded with doom-saying. Why are you shouting about tops when institutional investors are quietly positioning? This mass bearishness actually signals we’re nowhere near the ceiling. True market peaks arrive unexpectedly or amid extreme euphoria – not when half the traders are already hedging their bets and questioning whether to hold.
The Strength Divide: BTC and ETH vs. the Rest
The current landscape reveals an interesting two-tier structure. Bitcoin and Ethereum are showing genuine momentum and resilience. They’re the flagbearers of this cycle. Meanwhile, most altcoins remain trapped in weakness, struggling to break out from their depressed ranges. This divergence is telling – if we were truly in a bull market, alternative tokens would be roaring alongside the majors.
What a Real Bull Market Looks Like
A legitimate bull market doesn’t announce itself through anxious chatter. It arrives with conviction – traders FOMO into positions, not hesitantly dip-buy while second-guessing. The collective psychological state right now is fragile, marked by doubt and caution. That fragility suggests the journey upward still has runway.
So when you see everyone shouting about the top, remember: the market’s true peaks are built on universal greed, not universal fear. What we’re witnessing is something different – a test of faith before the real move.
