BTC Euphoria Phase: How to Read the Signs and Avoid Getting Rekt
Welcome to the Euphoria phase—the high-energy stage of Bitcoin’s bull market. Prices are soaring, FOMO is fierce, and new narratives flood the space daily. But amid the thrill, it’s crucial to stay sharp. In this blog, we’ll explore how to navigate the highs, spot signals of a market shift, and make the most of this phase without getting caught off guard. Let’s ride this wave wisely!
How I Completely Missed the Start of the Next Big Crypto Bull Market
It’s a cold January evening, and there I am, snug on the couch, half-heartedly scrolling through endless FUD-filled headlines from the past year. Layoffs? Check. Crypto 'experts' throwing in the towel? Check. More doom-and-gloom about the "end" of the market? Triple-check.
I mean, who could blame me? All I could see were the gloomy reminders of the bear market. In fact, the whole industry seemed to be sipping the last drops of bearish despair, wrapped up in stories of companies downsizing and mainstream headlines that convinced me we were in for another endless winter.
The Great "Crypto Rebirth" (a.k.a. My Oblivious Year)
This was the "Rebirth" stage, January 2023 to January 2024—the very first phase of the new crypto bull market. But did I see it? Oh, absolutely not. I was too busy chuckling at the news about layoffs and rolling my eyes at each Bitcoin price dip, convinced the ship was sinking for good.
What was actually happening? Well, behind the scenes, things were starting to heat up. Prices were quietly rising, markets were inching upwards, and—here’s the kicker—Bitcoin was secretly staging a comeback. Only those seasoned enough to read the tea leaves (and maybe a few whale whisperers) started noticing that something was brewing.
Experienced Traders’ Secret
Yep, those seasoned crypto veterans saw it coming. They'd been through this before. As I was convinced I was the sage predicting endless gloom, those traders had their game faces on, quietly amassing positions in the shadows while I blissfully continued my bear-hugging slumber.
As Bitcoin started its 3x rally, they were already in on the action. I was still dreaming of the bear market, blissfully unaware that it was time to wake up and join the bulls.
Stage 1: Rebirth – The Silent Shift
In this stage, Rebirth (January 2023 to January 2024), the weariness of the bear market feels all-consuming. Apathy is rampant, and any spark of excitement has been snuffed out. Headlines remain focused on past disasters, layoffs dominate the news, and most people are still weighed down by heavy losses, convinced the market is done for.
But quietly, almost under the radar, Bitcoin begins to show subtle but powerful signs of recovery. Did you notice the higher highs and higher lows it started making? Especially those higher lows? Did you catch how Bitcoin respected support, signalling strength that only the sharpest eyes could see? Bitcoin quietly rallies by 3x, but for most people, the disbelief is too strong to notice.
It’s only the most seasoned crypto veterans—the ones who’ve weathered at least two cycles—who start to recognize these signs as the early rumblings of a bull market. For everyone else, the shift is invisible, obscured by a mix of pessimism and disbelief.
The Rebirth phase has begun, but most remain asleep to the opportunity right in front of them.
How I Finally Got the Hint—Stage 2: Excitement
By February 2024, the market wasn’t just moving—it was rocketing. Since then, Bitcoin has soared 500%! By then, I was no longer an early bird. Altcoins are on fire, too, with a few even brushing up against their all-time highs. Suddenly, there’s no mistaking it: we’re in a bull market. Crypto narratives are coming alive again, and new stories are popping up each quarter, sparking fresh energy across the space.
Even I can't ignore it anymore. The crypto crew is pumped, scoring wins left and right. I’m riding a strange cocktail of thrill and nerves, trying to keep up with the action. But then there’s this odd thing—my phone isn’t lighting up with texts from old friends. No one’s asking me, “Is it time to get into Bitcoin?” It’s like they’re all still in hibernation, while I’m here, living in the bull market’s golden glow.
Layoffs? Mostly over. But hiring? Not so much. The crypto world feels like a sealed-off party—no newcomers, no exits. It’s just the usual suspects in a tight-knit crew, everyone fully in the game.
Life feels good—really good. And yet, there’s this weird sense that we’re in the calm before the real storm. Gains are stacking up, and things seem great, but deep down, I know we’re just warming up for what’s to come.
What We Missed in Stage 2: Key Signals We Overlooked
In the rush of excitement, here’s what we might’ve missed:
500% BTC Surge: Bitcoin’s massive rally since February 2024 was a blazing signal that the market had turned bullish. This kind of momentum should’ve been a wake-up call for even the cautious observers.
Re-emerging Narratives: With crypto narratives popping back up, even if slowly, we had hints that innovation and optimism were returning. These were breadcrumbs to follow for potential new opportunities.
Lack of Mainstream Attention: Despite soaring prices, friends and the public were still quiet, creating an odd disconnect. This was a strong sign that the bull market hadn’t fully hit the mainstream, leaving plenty of room for further growth once it did.
Stable Job Market: Layoffs mostly ended, suggesting industry stability, but with hiring not yet ramping up, the market felt insular. This “closed loop” hinted at the calm before a broader wave of adoption.
Early Community Wins: Those close to the action were racking up gains. The wins across the crypto community indicated the potential for even greater opportunities if—and when—this bull market expanded to the mainstream.
In short, the clues were there: a massive Bitcoin rally, re-emerging narratives, a quiet mainstream, and a stable job market—all signalling a calm before the storm. It was a moment to secure positions, prepare for what’s next, and hold tight as the next wave took shape.
Stage 3: Euphoria – The Mainstream Crypto Frenzy
Welcome to Euphoria, the thrilling stage that began on November 5th, spurred by Trump’s presidential victory. Crypto is in full bloom, and it’s a beautiful moment—everyone’s making money, but the grifters haven’t yet flooded the scene.
Bitcoin has surged to a new all-time high, and just about everything in your portfolio is rocketing past previous ATHs. Take a breath and savour this; it’s bound to be brief.
Trump’s win has cleared away a lot of market uncertainty, and investors are rushing into risky assets. Small-caps and Bitcoin are rallying, and with deregulation looking more likely, crypto is everywhere in mainstream media.
Forbes, Bloomberg, CNBC—they’re all talking about it. Your friend texts you about Cardano, and your financial advisor, once a crypto skeptic, now recommends a 5% BTC allocation. Even traditional finance (TradFi) firms are scrambling to tokenize anything they can get their hands on.
The Rise of New Narratives and FOMO
What used to be a trickle of new ideas is now a flood. We’ve gone from a few fresh narratives each quarter to a new one every week, and it’s only speeding up. Soon, the market will see new narratives daily, and there’s no sign of exhaustion—only an endless supply of “good” ideas. Influencers with any following are suddenly “geniuses,” posting their latest insights and boasting about the “coin of the week.” It’s exciting, but frustrating too. Take note though, that everyone has a bag to shill, and no one’s posting their losses.
With every new narrative comes new coins, each one seemingly rocketing overnight. But here’s the catch: you won’t own most of them. Even if you’re up 80% in a week, you’ll still feel the sting of missing out on the big winners. The mix of new coins and narratives fuels a relentless FOMO, and if you’re not careful, it will eat you alive.
Behind the Scenes: Private Markets Are Heating Up
As of November 6th, major allocators—hedge funds, VCs, institutional investors—woke up with a stark realization: they’re underexposed to crypto, and they’re scrambling to fix that. Phones are ringing as allocators call up VCs and funds, asking to pour capital into this surging market. Big crypto funds will be announced soon, kicking off a wave of fresh capital.
The late-stage venture market, stagnant for over two years, is coming back to life. IPO market holdouts, awaiting the right moment, are now eyeing 2025 to make their move, optimistic about Trump’s pro-business policies. Series A deals are flying off the table, and huge raises are quickly becoming the norm again. Top-tier founders from other industries are being pulled in, sensing that the moment for digital assets is finally here.
Advice for Navigating Euphoria
Beware the Hype: Everyone has something to sell, and the market’s highlight reel rarely shows losses. Don’t take every “win” at face value.
Guard Against FOMO: New coins and narratives will tempt you constantly. You don’t need to own them all; focus on your own strategy.
Stick to Your Approach: Decide what’s sustainable for you. Trading every day? Be prepared for the toll on your job and mental health. Building instead? Accept that you’ll miss some big trades. Every strategy has trade-offs, so pick one that aligns with your goals.
This stage is the golden age of the bull market. Crypto is mainstream, the market’s white-hot, and everything’s on the rise. But stay vigilant, because by mid-2025, this thrilling ride may start to get…weird.
Stage 4: Disconnection – When Reality Starts to Slip
Welcome to Stage 4: Disconnection, or as some might call it, Insanity. Crypto has exploded into every corner of culture. Fortune 500 companies are making headlines with massive Bitcoin purchases, and now athletes, artists, and celebrities are diving into crypto projects of their own. VC firms are tossing due diligence out the window, funding anything with a blockchain. And the grifters? They’re not just here; they’re centre stage, raising millions and becoming the loudest voices in the room. Random coins are pumping 10x in days, and nobody bats an eye.
At this stage, there’s an overwhelming sense that the market will keep going up—forever. Delusion creeps into decision-making; scepticism evaporates. Weekly narratives turn into a chaotic storm of hype, where every idea seems to be “the next big thing.” It’s a frenzy, a whirlwind where nothing makes sense anymore because it’s all a “can’t-miss opportunity.”
Crypto is a cultural juggernaut now. You’re watching high school friends launch tokens and become multimillionaires overnight. Your portfolio has soared beyond anything you imagined. An OG whale buys a sports team, Justin Bieber launches a decentralized social platform, and LeBron James drops a memecoin. Companies are pouring billions into marketing, chasing every new trend to stay relevant.
The next 12 months are going to be absolute madness. And while fortunes will be made, arrogance and laziness can turn this golden year into a disaster if you’re not careful. The opportunities are real, but so are the risks if you lose focus. Remember, this stage will be chaotic, but if you play it right, 2025 could be life-changing.
Advice for Stage 4:
Stay Grounded: Avoid the mindset that “it’s going up forever.” Remember that markets don’t stay disconnected from reality indefinitely.
Don’t Let Arrogance Take Over: Fortunes are made here, but they’re lost just as quickly. Keep the focus, stick to your strategy, and don’t get lazy or overconfident.
Enjoy the Moment: Amid the madness, take time to appreciate what you’ve built. This is a wild ride—don’t forget to look around and enjoy it.
Brace yourself—Stage 4 is where it all goes bigger, faster, and crazier than ever before. Let’s build.
