Every two to four months, the same narrative cycles through the cryptocurrency market – the bull run is over, sell while you can, crypto is dead! But what is really happening? Are we truly entering a new bear market, or is this just the same game played by those who control the market? As always, when someone says, "The bull run is over," the real story is far from finished.
Crypto Wreck Warning in Red Drops – The Bull Run Is Over
The media and FUD – Fear as a weapon of manipulation
In the past few weeks, we've seen similar narratives: Bitcoin has peaked, capital is leaving the market, altcoins are dying. At the same time, institutions and big players are accumulating BTC and ETH at lower prices while retail investors panic-sell. If you look at historical patterns, it's easy to see that such phases have always been present – every bull run has its mini bear corrections, serving only one purpose: to shake out weak hands. Some may think the bull run is over, but this is often just the path to new opportunities.
Yes, altcoins are currently bleeding, but only for those who don’t understand market cycles. Those who experienced 2017, 2021, and even 2013 know this is just a prelude to what’s coming.
Bitcoin Dominance – The Key to Understanding
If we look at BTC dominance, we can see it moving between key levels. Every bull run starts with Bitcoin rising while altcoins stagnate or drop, followed by a capital rotation into altcoins. When Bitcoin dominance reaches its peak, that’s when the real altcoin explosion begins.
Right now, Bitcoin continues to attract capital. Institutional investors have only just started buying ETFs, and accumulation is ongoing. Altcoins are bleeding because money is currently flowing into safe havens before multiplying into altcoins.
History Repeats Itself – The Market Mechanism
Anyone who went through the 2020/2021 bull run will remember how it looked – in March and April 2021, Bitcoin dominance was at its peak while altcoins were sinking. People were saying the same things they are saying today: altcoins are dead, this bull run is over! Has the bull been crushed? I wouldn’t say so.
And then?
A massive new altcoin season followed, where many achieved 10x, 20x, or even 100x gains on selected projects.
What’s Happening Now and Where Are We?
1. Capital is currently concentrated in Bitcoin and ETH – smart money enters big positions first.
2. A new wave of ETF capital is coming – the rise of BTC ETFs in recent months clearly shows that institutions have not even started playing their game yet.
3. The macroeconomic landscape is still pushing capital into crypto – inflation and economic instability are forcing people to seek alternative options.
4. Altcoins are in a phase of shaking out weak hands – and those who know how to recognize the bottom understand this is the last chance to accumulate before the explosion. Most people think the bull run is over, but real investors know better.
Conclusion – Good Morning, Brother
Whenever you hear that the bull market is over and altcoins are dying, know that someone wants to buy your fear. Those who have survived multiple cycles know these periods are the best for accumulation. This bull run isn’t over – we’re just getting warmed up.
If you’re still here, it means you already understand the game. Those who don’t learn history are doomed to repeat it. However, for those who think this is the end – let them sell, someone has to be the exit liquidity.
Who understood – understood. If you think the bull run is over, you’ll soon find out it isn’t.
