Bottoms - extreme low breadth combined with indexes below intermediate to long term moving averages - are shorter and easier to spot than tops.

I have no idea how to spot an exact top, but being interested in markets for 27 years, I noticed a pattern. When people who normally would have no interest in stocks, are all of a sudden very interested, we are in a bubble. Twice I have heard of every college student investing in internet stocks or crypto, and not long after, there was a crash.

Everybody buying gamestop is a perfect example of this.
