📊 Easy Insights to Watch

A bull run is like a PVP (player vs player) game where you’re up against all the newcomers and beginners entering the crypto space. As an experienced investor, it’s crucial to keep an eye on these super easy insights to ensure you remain one step ahead of the market.

1/ App Store Rankings for Coinbase and Binance 

It’s obvious but true: when Binance and Coinbase hit #1 on app stores, it means retail fever is peaking in crypto. 
This top ranking indicates wide public engagement, but beware—history shows us that reaching everyone often signals we’re nearing the end of the bull run.

When this happens, you’ll know it’s time to start thinking about selling your positions.

2/ Bitcoin Dominance 

A great measure of sentiment. 
As it rises, it indicates a shift towards Bitcoin, often seen in uncertain times or just before a major bull run. When dominance drops, get ready—it’s likely signaling the start of an Altcoin season.

Currently, even though Bitcoin continues to perform, we see the dominance decreasing a bit, which is a good indicator that altcoins are starting to move up.
For information, at the November 2021 peak, Bitcoin’s dominance was around 42%.

3/ Google Trends 

Checking Google Trends for terms like “crypto” or “Bitcoin” gives you a straightforward view. Compare today’s interest against the 2021 peak. This will clearly show whether we are nearing the end of a bull run or if there’s more room to grow.

We are currently far away from 2021 levels, so for now enjoy the ride!

4/ Gold Price Movements 

Gold prices directly reflect global economic fears or confidence. 
If gold performs well, it suggests people fear instability and prefer safer investments. A downturn indicates a shift to riskier assets, like crypto. 

Watch gold’s chart, it’s a clear indicator of the broader investment climate.

5/ Federal Reserve Rate Adjustments

Interest rates set by the Federal Reserve are an obvious influence on investment. 
High rates attract capital to safe, nearly risk-free government securities. But when rates fall, watch out: investors will likely pull money to chase higher returns elsewhere, including in crypto.

6/ ETF Asset Management 

Keep an eye on the Assets Under Management (AUM), and the inflows and outflows of crypto ETFs. 
It’s a clear indicator of investor sentiment, even if the absolute volumes aren’t big enough to really impact the market.

A few days of consistent inflows or outflows can provide obvious hints about where the market will head next.

7/ Bitcoin Hash Rate 

A high Bitcoin hash rate is a sign of a healthy network.
Miners pour in more computational power because it’s profitable, and a rising hash rate means the crypto environment is robust.

If it keeps breaking ATH after ATH, you know the market is heading towards a good direction.

8/ Political Climate and Cryptocurrency Regulation

With Trump’s election, keep an eye on the promises and regulatory changes he made during the campaign.
Key movements like a change in SEC leadership or talks of Bitcoin becoming a strategic reserve are definite signals that could propel the market upwards.

With these straightforward insights, you’ll be able to anticipate market trends before many beginners and newcomers do. Stay agile, prepared, and keep one step ahead to maximize your gains during this bull run!

Enjoy the gains.
