Bull markets don't die from bad fundamentals. They die from euphoria.
Every market cycle follows a predictable emotional arc: disbelief → optimism → excitement → greed → denial → capitulation. Most traders only recognize which phase they're in after it's too late.
Here's what each phase looks like on the ground:
🔹 Disbelief – "This rally won't last." Prices climb but conviction is low. The best entries are here.
🔹 Optimism – "Maybe this is real." Fundamentals start matching price. Institutions start allocating.
🔹 Excitement – "I was right all along." FOMO accelerates. Volume spikes. Retail pours in.
🔹 Greed – "This time is different." Leverage explodes. Unrealistic targets circulate. Warning signs get rationalized.
🔹 Denial → Capitulation – The exit nobody planned for.
We're in a cycle right now. The question isn't whether a top will come — it's whether you've defined your exit before the narrative captures you.
Practical edge: Tie sell targets to price levels and time windows, not feelings. Review your thesis every 30 days. Reduce when everyone around you stops asking "why" and starts asking "how much."
$BTC $ETH $BNB are all subject to the same cycle psychology — the asset changes, the human behavior doesn't.
