It will be fast.
It will be brutal.
And most of you will lose everything you’ve made this cycle.
Here’s how to spot the top before the rug gets pulled
1 / I’m selling all my crypto.
But not today.
And not until I’m rich enough to buy Canada with 1% of my bags.
If you’re panicking on this dip, you’re not ready.
This isn’t the top.
But it will come — and you will miss it.
2 / Nobody sells the top.
Nobody times it perfectly.
You won’t. I won’t.
What you can do is learn to recognize the behavior that always surrounds tops.
Ignore price predictions. Ignore TA.
Watch people.
Here’s the pattern every time:
3 / Crypto bull runs always move in the same cycle.
1.Bitcoin runs
2.Ethereum follows
3.Top 25 alts
4.Mid-caps
5.Micro-caps (AI, RWA, etc.)
6.DeFi + Infra
7.Memecoins
8.Shitcoin civil war
Every. Single. Time.
4 / Most people don’t make money in crypto.
85% leave the market with nothing or a loss.
Why?
Because they hold too long, they buy too high, and they never sell.
Let me show you when and how you should start exiting.
5 / You won’t want to sell the top.
It won’t look dramatic.
It’ll look like every other dip — and you’ll laugh it off.
You’ll tweet “Just a shakeout.”
And then you’ll ride it down… 80% or more.
Don’t do that.
6 / Here’s what the real top feels like:
• Extreme bullishness
• Mockery of anyone bearish
• Unquestionable belief in 10x from here
• People shaming you for taking profit
• Engagement at all-time highs
• Your Uber driver talking altcoins
Sound familiar?
Exit.
7 / Look at social behavior, not candles.
Price won’t warn you.
Charts won’t warn you.
But people will.
I called the ETH bottom at $1,400 while everyone else screamed for $800.
The same tools work to spot tops.
It’s just reversed.
8 / No, you’re not a charting god.
TA is male astrology.
Everyone pretending they can time the top is just coping.
You don’t need PhD-level TA to sell in profit.
You need a plan, discipline — and balls.
9 / Here’s the rule of 3:
The bull market structure usually repeats 3x.
1st time = early excitement
2nd time = heavy gains
3rd time = pure greed, zero caution
Sell into the 2nd.
Run by the 3rd.
11 / Selling strategy for normal people:
You won’t catch the top.
You don’t need to.
Sell in curves, not all at once
Start trimming once you’re in serious profit
Sell more as social sentiment gets toxic
Take profit. Don’t wait for 10x. Don’t be a hero.
12 / Take your wins.
Made a 3x? 5x? 10x?
Start exiting. Lock it in.
Your future self will thank you.
Don’t wait until ETH hits $10K.
Everyone else is waiting too. That’s how you get dumped on.
13 / My personal plan:
• Been in since November 2022
• Will start selling into strength now
• Might fully exit during 2nd alt season
• Will rotate into yield-bearing assets (5%+ APY)
This run already made me rich. I don’t need to time it perfectly.
14 / Biggest mistake I see?
You made your first bag. Now you think you’re a genius.
So you double down.
And lose it all.
I’ve watched it happen every cycle.
Don’t be that guy.
15 / What to do AFTER you sell:
• Sit in stables
• Get 5%+ APY from yield protocols or boring TradFi
• Use your dry powder strategically
• Wait for the real crash
This is how you actually win the cycle.
17 / Final warning:
If you’re still holding when the influencers are reading charts with 800K views…
If you see celebrities shilling dog coins again…
If you can’t post a bearish take without getting attacked…
The end is near.
18 / Summary: How to sell smart
• Watch human behavior, not charts
• Follow the rotation: BTC → ETH → Alts → Memes
• Sell in waves, not all at once
• Be ok missing the very top
• Park gains in yield farms, stables, or off-ramp
19 / If you made it this far:
