The last two times Ethereum "surpassed" a major milestone with Fear & Greed sitting above 75, most people who bought that headline spent the next year waiting for their entry to come back.

You know the feeling. $ETH rips, the timeline fills with flippening talk, and sitting in cash suddenly feels like a personal failure.

I have bought that feeling twice. Both times it cost me more than the trade I missed. Ethereum surpassing anything is rarely the actual trade. It is the moment the narrative goes fully mainstream. In 2017 it was ICO dominance. In 2021 it was NFTs and DeFi TVL. Same movie. Different cycle.

What followed was not a new era. It was a rotation. $BTC usually reasserts leadership, or capital leaks into cheaper beta like $ARB while everyone is still celebrating. The ETH/BTC ratio has a habit of topping when the timeline is loudest about Ethereum winning.

Greed at 80 does not mean dump everything. It means stop treating a headline as an entry signal. Size like someone who already lived through two winters. The traders who survived both cycles were the ones who sold a slice into the "surpasses" posts and kept powder for when the timeline went quiet.

Where do you think this goes once the headline cycle cools off?
