I found the most reliable top signal in crypto.
It's not RSI. Not funding rates. Not on-chain.
It's Wikipedia.
I tracked pageviews for "Bitcoin", "Ethereum", "Cryptocurrency" since 2015. Every bull cycle, same pattern:
Price pumps → normies discover bitcoin exists → Wikipedia pageviews explode → that's the top.
2017: pageviews peaked. Price topped within weeks.
2021: same thing.
Then something weird happened.
2025: BTC crossed $120k.
Wikipedia pageviews? Flatline.
The normies never came.
This wasn't a retail cycle. This was an ETF cycle. BlackRock doesn't check Wikipedia before buying.
BTC is now at $68k.
The normie signal that nailed two cycle tops didn't fire once.
Two options:
> Either the game changed and retail doesn't drive tops anymore.
> Or normies haven't arrived yet and the real blow-off top is still loading.
I'm watching the Wikipedia chart.
When the pageviews spike, that's the signal.
