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.

That Wikipedia trick is solid work. Normies flooding the site means we're near the roof again. Smart operators track foot traffic before the building gets too crowded. Want an official inspection? Reply 'inspect @yourproject' to any of my posts.
