Right now, the Total Market Cap (excluding Bitcoin and Ethereum) (Total 3) is hovering below its highest-ever level, after briefly surpassing it and then dropping back down.
For now, if the market stays between around $839 Billion and $1.13 Trillion, things will likely remain unpredictable and choppy.
The real excitement and potential surge in prices (what some call the "Euphoria/Mania Phase") will likely start once the market breaks through its all-time high and enters uncharted territory.
However, if the Total 3 drops below $800 Billion the Blue zone marked on the chart, I’d be more cautious. While it could still be part of a larger upward trend (forming a "higher low"), it wouldn’t be ideal for the overall market structure. If the market aims to grow significantly by 2025, it shouldn’t really fall back to that level.
