Every year, like clockwork, finance folks whisper the ancient mantra: "Sell in May and go away." The idea? Cash out early, dodge the summer slump, and come back when things cool off. But this year? May knocked on the door—and the market opened it with a rocket.
Bitcoin soared past $100K like it never heard of May, ETH broke into dance mode, and altcoins are smashing resistances like it’s 2021 all over again. Big players are launching ETFs, governments are flirting with crypto, and retail traders? They're asking each other: “Wait... wasn’t May supposed to be bad?”
An old rule from a time before Twitter
"Sell in May" was born in the London Stock Exchange and adopted by Wall Street. Back then, wealthy investors literally left the city during summer—riding horses, not Teslas. With thin liquidity and sleepy markets, selling in May made sense. It worked… until it didn’t.
Fast forward to 2025: Crypto never sleeps, weekends pump harder than weekdays, and retail traders run on caffeine and hopium. Summer isn’t slow—it’s meme season.
This year, the market claps back: “Sell in May? We’re still buying!”
The U.S. just added Bitcoin to its strategic reserves. Not a meme—an actual government policy.
The UK handed out licenses to big crypto platforms, opening doors for massive institutional inflows.
Crypto ETFs are trading like water, soaking up cash like a sponge.
Retail is in full FOMO mode, meme coins are mooning, and everyone’s flexing their green bags.
This isn’t a seasonal market anymore. It’s a sentiment-driven, headline-reactive beast. And right now, it couldn’t care less about May.
But let’s not get too comfy...
History has a dark sense of humor—it loves to show up when no one’s expecting it. The market could keep running. Or, one sudden tweet from the Fed, one black swan, and boom—we’re back to “So I guess Sell in May was real after all…”
The only thing certain? The market doesn’t care what you believe—it only moves when money moves.
So, what now?
If you’re a holder: Keep holding, but set those stop losses just in case.
If you’re a trader: Don’t try to catch tops or bottoms—you’ll throw your back out.
If you’re a spectator: Congrats, at least you’re watching one of the wildest Mays in market history.
Final thought:
"Sell in May" isn’t dead—it’s just on vacation. And if May doesn’t crash, maybe June will step in. Or maybe not. Either way, you just read a warning... with no actual warning inside.
