"Everyone wants to reap the fruits, but only those who understand the season will sow the seeds at the right time."
In this market, the ones who make big money are not the fastest, but the most patient, who understand where they are in the market cycle. Crypto may fluctuate continuously, but if you observe closely, you will see it operates in clear, repetitive cycles – not exactly the same, but enough for us to see common patterns and stay ahead of the crowd.
Each crypto cycle usually lasts about 4 years, revolving around a very important milestone: Bitcoin Halving. Each Halving marks the beginning of a new cycle. And each of those cycles always has 4 clear stages: accumulation – growth – distribution – collapse. Just understanding these 4 stages, you already hold the key to survival and long-term profitability in this market.
Stage 1 – Accumulation: This is the most desolate time in the market, coins are stagnant, volume is low, negative news and FUD are rampant. Everyone gives up, but the sharks quietly gather their stocks. This is the best time for you to gradually accumulate quality projects at extremely favorable prices. However, it is not for those who are impatient or need immediate x2-x3. This is the season for sowing seeds.
Stage 2 – Growth (Bull run): This is when the market begins to revive. Bitcoin rises first, dragging altcoins along, followed by meme coins, junk coins, and every coin is rising. Media starts talking about crypto daily, friends ask which coin will x10, everyone is fomo, and money floods in. This is when accounts are green, and people think they are geniuses. But remember, the easiest time to make money is also the time to be the most alert. If you don’t know how to take profits gradually, you will give all back to the market.
Stage 3 – Distribution: High prices, strong fluctuations, unclear market trends. Whales begin to sell gradually, retail still fomo, everyone thinks "it will go up more". But if you pay attention: volume decreases, good news comes out but the price doesn’t rise anymore, many strange signs appear. This is when you need to keep a cool head. Gradually take profits, switch to stablecoins, reduce risk. Those who hold tightly due to greed at this time are often the ones who lose the most.
Stage 4 – Collapse (Bear Market): This is when the market declines deeply, with bad news, liquidations, exchanges collapsing, and projects disappearing. Players leave, chat groups go silent, and friends no longer mention crypto. But at this moment, the patient ones with vision and preserved capital will start to observe, filter again, and slowly accumulate. The bear market is not a place to make quick money, but a place to prepare for the next jump.
To invest successfully in crypto, you should not just focus on asking "which coin will x10", but rather ask yourself "where am I in the market cycle?" Knowing where you are will tell you what to do: accumulate, hold, take profits, or stand back and observe.
And to determine the cycle, you can rely on various tools:
Monitor the Halving cycle
Check Bitcoin Dominance to know where the money flow is
On-chain data: stablecoin inflow, whale wallets accumulating/releasing, number of long-term holders
Market sentiment (Fear & Greed index)
Macro developments: interest rates, FED, macro situation
A cycle-based investment strategy transforms you from a lucky player to a professional investor. Each cycle is a season. Don’t expect to harvest crops before sowing seeds. Also, don’t try to sow seeds when winter comes.
To go the long way, survive through many cycles, you need to know when to remain silent and accumulate, when to exert effort and take profits, and when to stay out to preserve capital. No one gets rich from a single trade, but many lose everything because they do not understand the cycle.
So invest with a strategic mindset, not by emotion.
Understand the cycle – survive long – and be sustainably wealthy.
Wishing you to be in the right season – hitting the big harvest.
