My 5-Step Crypto Exit Plan (Part 1) – You Don’t Lose on the Buy. You Lose on the Sell.

You Lose on the Sell.

Let me tell you the truth most of CT won’t:

You won’t get REKT because you bought the wrong coin.
You’ll get REKT because you didn’t know when to SELL.

You’re so busy trying to “find the next 100x,”
you forget the part where you’re supposed to actually lock in profits.

This game doesn’t reward hopium.
It rewards execution.

And I’m not here to guess.
I’m not here to hope the candles keep going up.

I’m here to EXECUTE WITH PRECISION.

So here’s the exact 5-Step Exit Plan I’m using — the same one I used last cycle.
The same one I’ll use again this cycle.
And the same one that’s kept me profitable when everyone else panicked.

Step 1: Watch the Charts — But the Right Way

I’m not waiting around for some magic number.

$120K? $150K? $200K?
Those are headlines, not strategies.

I don’t believe in random targets.
I believe in reactionary exits based on market structure and real data.

I sell when my metrics tell me to.
Not because Twitter is screaming moon.
Not because your favorite YouTuber is “feeling bullish.”

I watch the signals that actually matter.

Step 2: Key Metrics I’m Tracking (Not Guessing)

Let’s be real: most of CT is noise.
The influencers you follow? They're playing for engagement.

I’m playing for exits.

Here’s what I use to call tops before the crash:

  • GMI Indicator → When this tops out, it’s a flashing red light.
    It’s nailed macro tops in every major cycle.
    I’m watching it daily.

  • MVRV Ratio → When the market cap exceeds fair value significantly,
    that’s when smart money starts unloading.
    I don’t get greedy. I get OUT.

  • Active Addresses → If price is ripping but address growth stagnates?
    That’s divergence. That’s a trap. That’s your signal to exit early.

And last week I gave a 4 email alphas on all the on-chain indicators I’m watching.

Like Stablecoin supply ratio.

If you want real time updates, I track them in my 9-5 Traders group so you don’t miss out.

This is the data smart money tracks.
Not hashtags. Not vibes. Not hopium.

Let me tell you the truth most of CT won’t:

You won’t get REKT because you bought the wrong coin.
You’ll get REKT because you didn’t know when to SELL.

You’re so busy trying to “find the next 100x,”
you forget the part where you’re supposed to actually lock in profits.

This game doesn’t reward hopium.
It rewards execution.

And I’m not here to guess.
I’m not here to hope the candles keep going up.

I’m here to EXECUTE WITH PRECISION.

So here’s the exact 5-Step Exit Plan I’m using — the same one I used last cycle.
The same one I’ll use again this cycle.
And the same one that’s kept me profitable when everyone else panicked.

Step 3: Staggered Exits on Confirmation

Here’s the real secret most people miss:

Not all metrics flash red at the same time.

Some lead.
Some lag.
Some scream while others whisper.

So what do I do?

I don’t wait for a perfect signal.
I exit in phases.

  • When one key metric screams “TOP,” I sell 20%.

  • When another confirms, I sell another 20%.

  • I repeat this until I’m sitting on cash, not hope.

While retail waits for a “clear sign” — I’m already out.

🔥 Bottom line?

You don’t need to sell the exact top.
You just need to get out while there’s still liquidity.

The ones who win are the ones who exit clean, not the ones who chase green.

In Part 2, I’ll walk you through:

  • Rotating into USDT at the right time

  • The exact moment I start rebuying

  • And how I prepare for the recession dip that prints wealth

You’re not gonna want to miss it.

you’ll get the call before the crash even begins.
