1. The crypto bull market never breaks out linearly
Most of the time, the market shows slow climbs, shocks, pullbacks and skepticism.
But once it enters the final stage, the market will rush to the top with an almost vertical trend:
-
Retail investors' FOMO breaks out;
-
Media reports frantically;
-
Altcoins soar like wild horses.
In 2017, BTC rushed from $5,000 to $20,000 in two months.
In 2021, ETH rose from $1,600 to $4,800 in just four months.
In October of the same year, SHIB soared 1200% in one month.
At the end of each bull market, logic and rationality will be swallowed by emotions, which is the window period for creating wealth myths.
2. The craziest stage of making money is also the most dangerous stage
Most people will make life-changing money in the last period of the market,
But most people will also spit all their money back into the market due to greed and blindly chasing high prices.
The key is: you must have a clear exit plan.
3. How to identify the "last madness" of the bull market?
-
Retail investors are pouring in;
-
Your friends start buying DOGE or various meme coins;
-
MEME coins have risen far beyond mainstream assets;
-
The media headline says "Crypto to $1M".
Remember, this is not the beginning, but the end.
4. Exit strategy: lock in profits in batches
No one can sell at the highest point, but you can rely on strategies to get close to the top.
I used the "gradient exit method" in the last bull market:
-
When the position profit is 5 times, sell 20% first;
-
When it rises to 10 times, sell another 30%;
-
Transfer part of the funds to BTC and stablecoins.
This method allows me to lock in most of the profits while enjoying the final rise.
5. Dynamic stop-profit and "moon warehouse" strategy
-
Set a dynamic stop loss (such as -15%), follow the rise, and automatically sell when it falls to protect profits.
-
Leave a 10-15% "moon warehouse" that will never be sold, and you can have a calm mind regardless of whether it continues to rise or pullback.
6. Altcoin rotation rules
Usually ETH takes off first → high market value coins → medium market value coins → low market value coins (Meme, AI narrative, etc.).
But don’t forget that there will often be a brutal correction of -50% to -80% after this.
Don’t throw away the profit that has doubled or tripled for the last 10% of profit.
7. Information gap is the biggest wealth gap
To really catch the last 20% of huge profits, you need:
-
Strong community;
-
24-hour mentors and market analysis;
-
Early information on new narratives and hot projects.
If the information flow is not smooth, you will always "buy after 50 times",
or find out after the airdrop snapshot ends,
or miss the early 10 times narrative and waste the wealth opportunity.
Conclusion:
The last 20% of the bull market determines whether you can leap from an "ordinary investor" to a "wealth free man".
But this is both a paradise and a trap:
-
You must learn to stay calm in the madness;
-
You must formulate an exit strategy in advance, instead of waiting for the "media to blow up" to start panicking.
Remember, the secret to making money in crypto is not to seize all opportunities, but to seize the right one and cash in on the gains in time.
