BTC Latest Update After 100K + Exit Strategy (Part 1): What Pros Won’t Tell You
Number 5 is the killer tip
You know what’s funny?
Everyone talks about entry strategy.
They’ll post threads on what to buy, where to DCA, what alt is "about to explode."
But almost no one talks about exit strategy.
And that’s not an accident.
Because exiting is where the real money is made — or lost.
Let me break down exactly how pros protect their capital while retail bleeds it out.
Before we dive deep, I will be releasing a special discount to my 9-5 Traders community this weekend.
It will ONLY be available for this weekend - you will miss updates like the one below if you are not in it:

Look at the date, 10th April 2025.
BTC was at 82k mind you.
And we are positioned back then.
Not now when everyone is scrambling back to buy when BTC already hits 104k.
Inside the 9-5 Traders, I have already laid out my plan for 2025.
The gains you will make is far significantly higher if you have that plan.
Back to the topic.
This is your Crypto Exit Strategy Cheat Sheet — Part 1.
Let’s go:
🧠 1. Sell Into Strength
Don’t wait for red candles. Scale out when prices are euphoric.
This sounds simple, but it’s one of the hardest moves for most people.
Retail waits for the pump, then waits for the “next pump,” and ends up bag-holding on the way down.
Pros?
They sell into green candles. They sell when Twitter is screaming “never sell.”
They sell when new all-time highs “feel normal.”
Example:
When Solana hit $250 in 2021, people said “$1,000 SOL is coming.”
Smart money sold.
Retail waited.
🧠 2. Pre-Set Exit Targets
Decide your sell points BEFORE emotions kick in.
The worst time to make decisions is during the pump.
You get greedy. You want more. You convince yourself you’re early.
Set your targets now.
Whether it’s:
A 3x from your entry
A round number milestone ($10k, $25k, $50k)
A market cap threshold on a token
Write it down and commit.
Because when the dopamine hits, discipline disappears — unless it was locked in beforehand.
🧠 3. Scale Out Gradually
Take profits in chunks (10–20% at key milestones).
You don’t need to go all in… or all out.
Selling gradually gives you:
Realized gains (banked wins)
Emotional control
Capital to rotate back in if the market drops
Example:
Say you’re in a coin that did a 5x.
Take 20% off the table. Then another 20% at 6x.
Leave the rest to ride — but you’ve already won.
Most people don’t win because they don’t take the win.
🧠 4. Respect Real-Life Money
$50k realised > $500k unrealised.
Screenshots don’t feed families.
Your realised PnL is what matters.
If your portfolio says $100k and you’ve never cashed a cent out, guess what?
You’re not rich.
You’re emotionally leveraged.
So start cashing out real-life amounts when you hit them.
$10k → pay off debt
$25k → fund your trading account
$50k → build your freedom fund
Money in your bank beats numbers on your screen.
🧠 5. Beware “One More Pump” Syndrome
Greed destroys more fortunes than bad investments.
This is where most people die.
They’re up 3x.
They want 5x.
They’re up 5x.
They want 10x.
And then they’re back to break-even… or worse.
Exit strategy means knowing when enough is enough.
The market rewards those who leave early with a bag.
It destroys those who refuse to leave.
🔥 In Part 2, I’ll show you how to handle tops, how to identify fake bounces, and how to build an exit strategy that protects your freedom — not your Twitter flexes.
Because remember:
Crypto isn’t just about wealth.
It’s about keeping it.
Until then, go back and review these five rules.
Write them down.
Build them into your plan.
And never again be the last to exit.
Learn how to implement these rules like a pro in 9-5 Traders.
See you inside.
