Many people experience this scenario in cryptocurrency trading: their account skyrockets, then they watch it drop by 90%. The reason is simple—no exit plan, no discipline, just greed.

In fact, buying is easy; the real challenge is 'when to sell.' Selling determines whether you walk away with profits or end up with nothing. Here are some core insights👇

📌 Market rules do not deceive.

The price fluctuations in the crypto market are essentially cyclical:

Bull market → Euphoria → Crash → Despair → Another round.

Recognizing this structure allows for systematic profit, rather than being swept away by emotions.

📌 Opportunities in altcoins

Real hundredfold returns often come from altcoins, but the prerequisite is that you buy when no one cares, at rock bottom, rather than chasing high prices when the market is lively. That is the best time to sow. 🌱

📌 Emotional traps

Without rules, even the most knowledge is useless.

Holding on after a 10x increase without selling, because you want 50x;

Panic selling after a 60% drop;

Holding onto worthless coins just because you 'don’t want to realize a loss.'

In the end, the result is always being harvested by emotions.

💡 Practical rules (ATH selling framework)

1️⃣ Treat profits as salary, not a lottery ticket 🎯

2️⃣ Buy on expectation, sell on news 🔔

3️⃣ Ask yourself: “Would I buy it again today?” ❌

4️⃣ Big opportunity checklist: Upward potential, VC support, reliable team, CEX listing.

⚠️ Remember: Selling for profit ≠ Missing a good opportunity.

Selling early is not scary; the scariest thing is always fantasizing about 'just a little more,' and in the end, you can't even keep your profits. The market never rewards gamblers; it rewards those who know when to sit down before the music stops.

🔥 Market participants in 2025 will be more astute and ruthless. Your only advantage is discipline and rules. A bull market is not a reward but a test. Whether you can walk away from the table with profits depends on how well you execute your exit plan.
