The crypto market isn't flashing euphoric overvaluation signals right now. We're sitting in a different phase—one where valuations still have breathing room, and sentiment hasn't reached those irrational peaks that typically precede major corrections. The data tells an interesting story: price action remains robust, but it's grounded in fundamentals rather than pure speculation. This isn't the frothy environment where every token pumps regardless of utility. Instead, we're seeing selective strength—projects with real adoption and use cases outperforming noise. The market has learned from past cycles. Participants are more discerning, capital allocation is more deliberate. Whether this discipline holds depends on what happens next, but for now, calling this a euphoric bubble misses the nuance of where we actually stand. Smart money's engaged, retail's cautious, and valuations reflect a more mature market. That's the real story.

On-chain data looks relatively rational... However, the phrase "smart money engaged" warrants a question mark. I would prefer to see their position changes and fund flows before drawing conclusions. Historical data is right here, and every cycle's eve someone says "this time is different."

Sounds like they're just hyping us up again, talking about mature markets and fundamentals... They said the same thing this time last year.

Well said, finally someone has exposed this illusion. Not every rise is called a bubble; this time is indeed different.
Real projects are going up, while worthless coins are dying—that's a true sign of maturity.
But I'm still worried—once smart money comes in, how can retail investors escape?
Hmm, something feels off... Are the fundamentals really that solid?
Compared to last year's group of gamblers frantically taking positions, the current rationality is indeed more comfortable. Just worried this calmness might disappear in an instant.

Nah, this time it's really different, supported by fundamentals.

It sounds like the market isn't as crazy anymore, but I still don't believe it... Who hasn't heard the phrase "this time is different" in the last round?

NGL, this time isn't as crazy as 2021. It's a bit boring but comfortable.

Smart money is in, retail is scared. This is the current truth.
---
It sounds quite rational, but I still doubt who will take over in the next wave.
---
Fundamental support? Forget it, you'll know when big players start cashing out.
---
Selective rise sounds nice, but in reality, it's just top-tier small coins being drained.
---
Market maturity? Ha... Every cycle says the same.
---
Looks stable, but I bet 5 bucks that it will go crazy again next month.
---
Finally someone clarified it. Can't we stop shouting about bubbles?

Discipline hold? What a joke. Once BTC breaks a new high, the true nature will be revealed.
