BTC surged then fell back, dropping below 84,000, and altcoins collectively crashed! Some say, "The bull market is over—run!" Others say, "This is a gold pit for bargain buying"—so who’s really deceiving you? Just a few days after it pushed up, a single bearish candle smashed the big pie back below 84,000, and the altcoins were left bleeding. Market sentiment went from optimistic to freezing instantly. But the clearer you stay at times like this, the better: is this selloff a confirmed top, or the cruelest shakeout? Three solid signals—judge for yourself: ① Check BTC’s dominance—during a plunge, if dominance doesn’t rise but falls, it means funds are retreating out of the whole market in panic. If money flows back into BTC and dominance rises, then it’s a weak rotation where "alts are dumping while BTC holds up"—completely different in nature. ② Watch volume—after a volume-spiking panic selloff, there’s usually an oversold rebound. If it drifts lower on thin volume, it means buy-side demand has basically disappeared—that’s when it’s truly dangerous. ③ Look at key support—breaking long-term critical levels is a trend-reversal signal. If it hasn’t broken, then it’s still within the range of a deep pullback.
