My Exit Plan for This Bull Run — No Emotion, Just Data (1/4)

I had so many queries that I feel it's best to elaborate on these.

I wrote one last week, but there are so many queries from emails that asked for a elaboration.

Here it is, but most of you will ignore this.
Just like they did in 2021.
And in 2017.
And in every cycle before this.

They’ll wait for CNBC to say, “Bitcoin looks strong.”
They’ll wait for Twitter to say, “Just one more pump.”
Then they’ll bag-hold their altcoins down 90% wondering where it all went wrong.

But me?
I’m here to exit clean — before the collapse.

No hopium.
No vibes.
Just execution.

In this 4-part series, I’m going to give you exactly what I’m watching to time my exit.

Straight to the point.

No bluff. No nonsense.

Rule 1: BTC Dominance < 45% = Final Phase

Bitcoin dominance is your capital flow compass.

When BTC.D drops below 45% in a bull market — it means capital has rotated heavily into alts.

That’s not the beginning of altseason.
That’s the end.

Historically:

  • BTC.D fell under 45% in early 2018 → full collapse followed

  • BTC.D dropped below 45% again in May 2021 → the top was in

  • Same signal flashing again? That’s your first exit trigger

If you’re not tracking BTC dominance every week —
you’re driving blind.

Rule 2: USDT Dominance < 3% = Everyone’s All-In

Tether dominance is a sentiment thermometer.

When it falls under 3% — it means there’s no more dry powder left.

Everyone’s fully deployed.
Even the cautious ones.

That’s when smart money says:

“Thanks for the exit liquidity.”

This is what happened in:

  • Nov 2021 — USDT.D dipped under 3%

  • Market sentiment was max greed

  • Two weeks later, BTC topped at $69K

  • Altcoins nuked for the next 12 months

So no, it’s not a bullish sign.
It’s a capitulation into euphoria.
And it’s one of the clearest sell signals I track.

The Pattern is Always the Same:

  1. Retail gets bullish late

  2. Smart money exits quietly

  3. Whales dump into euphoric headlines

  4. Charts collapse

  5. Bag holders stay in denial

I’m giving you 10 clear data-driven signals.

When most of them start lining up?

I exit everything.

Not because I’m scared.
But because I’ve played this game before.

And I’d rather disappear at the top…
than cope at the bottom.

In Part 2, I’ll walk you through:

  • DXY and why it kills risk

  • BTC exchange inflows (whale distribution)

  • And how to track the altcoin market cap (Total3) for a top
