How do I read crypto market cycles?

Indicators: Bitcoin dominance (rising = altcoin bear, falling = altcoin season), funding rates (high positive = overheated longs), exchange inflows (selling pressure), Google Trends for crypto (retail interest).

Classic 4-year cycle tied to Bitcoin halving: accumulation phase, bull market, euphoria/blow-off top, bear market. We are never exactly sure which phase until in hindsight.
