Recently, the narrative that "the altcoin season is over" has been spreading widely, and market sentiment is generally bearish. However, some traders or KOLs still believe this isn't the end of the current bull run.
Crypto KOL Atlas recently posted an analysis noting that due to the cyclical nature of markets, he's observed many patterns repeat themselves, and common historical indicators of a Bitcoin bull market top have not yet appeared. He outlined 10 signs of a bull market peak that he's observed over the years.
According to Atlas, none of these 10 market top signals have emerged, suggesting we are not at the end of this bull cycle. When half of them—five—do appear, that would be the time to sell all positions.
Sudden interest in cryptocurrency
This top signal isn't perfect, but one day people around you will start asking questions about crypto or randomly inquire which tokens to buy.
When you notice this happening, it's likely already near the final stage of the bull market.
Ubiquitous bullish sentiment
At the beginning of a bull market, many people remain skeptical and cautious. But as prices keep rising, skepticism fades and more people become overly optimistic.
When you realize no one is bearish anymore and everyone believes the market will keep going up, a market top may be approaching.
Cryptocurrency appears in mainstream media
This isn't a perfect top signal either, as crypto already frequently appears in mainstream news.
However, when you start seeing it on major entertainment shows like Jimmy Fallon’s, it's usually a sign that the cycle is nearing its peak.
Positive news fails to drive price increases
Even strong positive news can no longer push the market higher. Despite prevailing optimism, prices begin to decline gradually.
Meanwhile, any negative news triggers sharp price drops—an obvious sign that upward momentum is weakening.
Bull trend breakdown
A clearer signal is when the steady uptrend starts to break down.
The market quietly shifts from making higher highs to forming lower lows—often without drawing much initial attention.
It might look like simple consolidation, but it typically indicates that momentum is fading.
Coinbase ranks #1 in U.S. app stores
When apps like Coinbase climb to the top of the charts, it's a clear sign that retail FOMO (fear of missing out) is in full swing.
By then, the market is certainly no longer in its early stages. Prices may still rise, but it's a strong signal to start locking in some profits.
Flaunting gains
Crypto Twitter becomes flooded with people showing off their profits, luxury cars, expensive watches, and partying. Everyone brags about their returns, making others feel like they're late to the game.
Greed dominates sentiment—and as the saying goes, "Be fearful when others are greedy, and greedy when others are fearful."
Mass resignations
Some newcomers get lucky with a few trades and start announcing they’re quitting their 9-to-5 jobs.
This is usually driven by overconfidence after a single big win.
You’ll hear statements like: “Quit my job—I’m going full-time into crypto”—a classic top-of-cycle atmosphere.
“Dead” projects come back to life
Driven by intense hype, even outdated or abandoned projects restart operations.
Narrative-driven tokens with no real development or long-forgotten use cases suddenly gain attention.
This situation is often a sign of the late-stage bull market.
Wild price predictions everywhere
People start hyping up insane price targets and telling you to “just hold no matter what.”
But the reality is, no one truly knows where the top is.
Pay less attention to price speculation and focus more on securing profits.
