🔄 Market Cycle Analysis: Are We Mid-Bull or Near the Top?

One of the most debated questions in crypto right now is where exactly we stand in the current market cycle. Historical on-chain data suggests we are still in the mid-bull phase, not at the euphoric peak.

Key indicators supporting this view:

📊 NUPL (Net Unrealized Profit/Loss) remains in the "belief" zone, well below the "euphoria" readings seen at previous cycle tops in 2017 and 2021.

📈 Long-term holder supply is still relatively high, meaning experienced investors have not yet reached the mass distribution phase typical of late-bull markets.

⚡ Funding rates across major perpetual markets have normalized after recent volatility spikes, indicating that leveraged speculation has cooled — a sign of healthy consolidation rather than exhaustion.

🔍 Exchange reserves continue trending downward, reflecting sustained withdrawal pressure. Coins moving off exchanges historically precede price appreciation, not tops.

Of course, no indicator is infallible. Macro headwinds — including Fed policy uncertainty and global liquidity conditions — can compress or extend cycles beyond historical norms.

The smart approach: watch the data, not the noise. Position sizing and risk management matter more than trying to call the exact top.
