Too many people are trying their best to look smart by saying “the top is in” since Bitcoin broke the previous ATH — while calling “delusional” anyone who believes the macro cycle is still far from over. Another confluence that we’re nowhere near the peak. Little tip: Start to worry when all these so-called “traders” flip bullish. Until then — the trend is your friend.

If not you, then who? If not now, then when?

GM — Post black coffee rant: 90% of market participants won’t take profits and will ride their bags back down to where they started. The remaining 10% will secure profits, but only 1% of them will truly change their lives. Why? Because we live in a dumb society, 90% of crypto enthusiasts will act like lottery winners. They will squander their newly acquired wealth on random purchases to impress people they don’t even like, only to return to their pre-bull run levels. The moral of the story — don’t be like them. You’ve worked hard for years to reap rewards in the crypto market. That money can be your ticket to a lifetime of freedom, away from the traditional matrix. Don’t waste it foolishly. Sure, treat yourself. Buy a couple of toys and enjoy them. Even indulge in some dumb stuff if you want. But for the most part, use your profits to build a foundation for your future prosperity. That’s how you break free. Play the game smartly, and your bloodline will thank you.

Just a quick reminder: Aggressively taking profits on some altcoins that have barely broken out from their 2+ year downtrend, with BTC dominance still sky high and the ETH/BTC just starting to go up is pure madness. Sure, if you’re a trader and some longs played out well, lock in some profits and move on to the next trade. But if you’re like most people looking to maximize your ROI during the final leg of this bull cycle, my advice is to let your bags run and check back in a few months (or when we’ll approach critical levels). Why do I say this? Because over the years, I’ve seen too many people get crushed by being overly cautious at the wrong times. Here’s typically what happens: They sell too much too soon. Then they watch their former holdings soar. They get brainwashed by FOMO. They then re-enter the market at peak prices — becoming the exit liquidity for smarter players. Remember that sinking feeling as you watched your portfolio shrink every day? Trust me, it pales in comparison to the agony of watching a crypto you sold off skyrocket, all while calculating the fortune you could have made. Even if you’re the most stoic person on this planet, at some point FOMO and GREED will win against you — and you’ll end up making costly mistakes. So, to conclude this rant: Take some profits, sure, nobody ever went broke doing that. But don’t scale out too aggressively too soon. That’s a mistake you’ll want to avoid, especially just before Altseason. Keep most of your “skin” in the game until you spot the classic euphoric signals. Don’t play the game backwards.

Pretty sure we are gonna have the last laugh.

TOTAL2 — $1.6T is a magnet. Once we get a clean HTF break and close above that region… Oh boy. I can already picture the NPCs flying back in. Easy mode loading. GG

Looking back, I’m really pleased I took a long break from social media and the markets over the past four months. During that time, I spent quality moments with my family and friends. I traveled to some incredible places. I had amazing experiences. I focused on leveling up in many realms. And what did I lose on the other side? Zero. The market was boring as fuck. Nothing happened. All I did was sharing a couple macro charts here and there. When everyone else was panicking and screaming “sell,” I simply pointed out what I believed: just a standard correction (exacerbated by macro stuff) in the middle of a massive bull cycle. That’s it. What would’ve been the point of me being online every day, saying the same shit like a broken clock? Once I stated my opinion, that was it. As someone who understands market cycles, I made the conscious decision to unplug. To rest. To step away. Because I knew: “There’s a time to chill and a time to hunt and execute.” Now? With Bitcoin breaking out into new all-time highs and parabolic price action starting to kick in… That time has pretty much arrived. No-sleep season is starting soon. And I’m ready for it. Because I rested when it made sense to rest. And now I can go all in — mentally, physically, emotionally, without burning out. On the other hand, I know a fuck-ton of people who’ve been glued to the 1-hour chart all year. Guess what? They’re exhausted. Their mental capital is drained. Their edge is almost gone. They played the game backwards. So here’s the takeaway: If you’re a “long-term investor”, if you play the macro cycle, you don’t need to be active 24/7 when nothing’s happening. You don’t need to overexpose yourself during consolidation or corrections. Mostly, you just DCA (if that’s your strategy), you monitor, you chill. That’s the beauty of understanding cycles. The only time you need to be fully locked in, fully focused, fully alert, is during the euphoric leg of the uptrend. That final, parabolic phase. And that phase? As I said above, is likely starting now. So, again, lock the fuck in. Let’s make some bread.
