There is a pattern that creates cycle winners.
This pattern shows up repeatedly across every major cycle winner.
- Mog
- Troll
- Spx
- Giga
- Useless
- Fartcoin
The pattern is this:
Build a minimum viable community (MVC) of true believers under $10m.
Once that base is formed, the token expands past $30m+ but falls short of $100m.
After the local top is set, it retraces 70%+ back into the $10–25m range (the Golden Zone).
This 70%+ retrace is not a bug, but a feature. It's a transfer of ownership.
The nonbelievers who chased momentum exit, while supply consolidates into the hands of long-term believers.
It’s an organic cleansing mechanism.
During this retrace, some form of FUD almost always appears.
It usually marks the bottom, because it performs two critical functions:
1. People who were never real believers sell
2. The remaining community is forced to recommit and bagwork
If you've held a cycle winner, you know it is not easy.
Your conviction will be tested multiple times.
But if you develop real conviction, you position yourself to change your life.
