Crypto and Bitcoin attention hits bear market extremes. Interest levels are bottoming out, suggesting we're deep in a cycle downturn. When retail participation contracts this sharply, it typically signals capitulation—but also marks the foundation-building phase before sentiment reverses. Market data shows search volumes, social mentions, and trading activity all reflecting this compressed state. These lows haven't been seen since previous bear cycles, which some traders view as a contrarian signal. Understanding where interest sits helps gauge how far we are from the next cycle inflection point.

Here comes the "bottom signal" talk again... Every time there's a bear market, someone talks about foundation-building. And yet? --- Is it only a bottom when retail investors have all fled? Wake up, everyone. --- I believe the search volume hitting a new low, but does that really mean a rebound is near? Why am I still losing? --- Compared to historical cycles? My friend, history may repeat itself but it never repeats exactly the same. --- Capitulation sounds intimidating, but it's really just the retail investors getting wiped out. --- If this data were truly so accurate, what would we need predictions for... --- Bottom signals are everywhere, but no one knows where the bottom actually is—that's a joke. --- Wait, will so many people really be discussing the bottom? It doesn't seem like it to me.
