Taking profits...

In the cryptocurrency market, many people enter with a clear goal: to multiply their capital. However, when the gains arrive, it is common to see investors stuck in the hope that "it will go up a little more." The problem? Often the market corrects, and profit turns into frustration.

Taking profits is not pessimism — it is strategy.

Profit only exists when you take it

While the profit is only on the screen, it is not truly yours. A good investor knows that taking part of the gains is as important as finding good entries. Walking away with profit in hand gives emotional security, reduces the risk of the operation, and allows you to reinvest more calmly.

It's not all or nothing

Taking profits does not mean completely exiting a position. You can sell a part and keep the rest exposed in case the asset continues to rise. This is called "partial sale," and it is an excellent way to balance security and potential.

Discipline beats greed

The market is cyclical. Those who do not set exit goals often end up being surprised by unexpected drops. Having a plan — for example, selling when reaching 30%, 50%, or 100% profit — helps maintain discipline and avoid impulsive decisions.
