Excessive euphoria often leads to deep disappointment. Just because the market is “up,” don’t let your expectations rise unchecked. Unrealistic hopes will only set you up for frustration when things turn.

#2 Avoid FOMO.

There will always be new opportunities ahead. Don’t let late positioning push you into FOMO buying at already inflated prices. If you missed the entry, be patient—another chance will come.

#3 Keep Monitoring Market Sentiment.

Pay attention to fear and greed levels. History shows that when the market leans too far into greed, significant corrections tend to follow. Stay aware of potential downturns—especially since, according to the 4-year cycle theory, we’re already approaching the end of this cycle.

#4 Have a Clear Exit Plan.

Don’t let euphoria blind you from having an exit strategy. Nothing goes up forever. Rebalancing is crucial, and in many cases, exiting altcoins before the cycle ends is wise, as many won’t survive the next bear market. Better to take profits now than just take pictures later.
