Bitcoin on the brink of making new all time highs and retail interest is still at peak lows.

I get it though, most of us (me included) only care about alts and they paint an entire different story.

In the past, Bitcoin's moves lead the market. It still does but differently. The meta has changed.

This time alts still bounce and see relief once Bitcoin strongly expands above prior highs (see Q1 2024 and Q4 2024).

Not altseason levels like most would call it (we need Bitcoin dominance to drop for that) but a bounce and relief (a better time) nonetheless.

So while seeing retail levels at peak lows isn't surprising here, it is however not smart.

As when Bitcoin does break those highs again they'll surge as well. So attention right now is more needed than ever.

But most only will when it's already happening for months and months.

Then they'll say it's only the beginning and we haven't even started. While in reality that's when the peak will be.
