Sunday Bonus: The Market Tests You Before It Rewards You
The market tests your conviction first.
Let’s talk about what really happens before every major move.
It’s not fireworks.
It’s not obvious.
It’s pain.
That’s the part no one wants to hear
but every seasoned trader knows it’s true.
Before every breakout,
before every euphoric leg,
before every “I wish I’d bought more” moment…
The market tests your conviction first.
You Wanted a Dip? Congratulations, You Got One.
This past week gave you exactly what you asked for:
$SOL dropped from 250 → 192
$ETH dumped from 4.6k → 3.9k
Alts bled across the board
And the second it happened, everyone screamed:
“It’s over.”
“We’re heading into a recession.”
“Crypto’s dead again.”
Funny how fast conviction disappears when the chart turns red.
Everyone says they want a dip…
Until they actually get one.
Then they freeze.
They wait for green candles to feel “safe” again.
They enter late, right into resistance,
and get punished again.
Same mistake. Different week.
This Game Rewards Pain Tolerance, Not Intelligence
The truth?
Most of you already know what to do.
You’ve read the guides.
You’ve seen the patterns.
You understand the rotations.
But when the market tests you,
your emotions override your logic.
That’s why I always say:
The hardest part of trading isn’t the analysis. It’s the execution.
Because execution requires emotional control.
And control only comes from preparation.
You can’t control fear if you don’t know what to do next.
You can’t DCA into fear if you never planned your levels.
You can’t stay detached if you’re still trading vibes.
Right Now Feels Like BTC at 75K
If you were with me back then, you remember.
Everyone was nervous.
Funding rates dipped negative.
Influencers started calling for a crash.
And I said it then, “This is not the top. It’s a reset.”
Two weeks later, BTC ripped to 125K.
ETH followed.
SOL exploded.
And all the people who panicked early had to buy back higher.
Sound familiar?
That’s the same emotional setup we’re in right now.
The market’s doing its job
testing, shaking, flushing out weak hands before the next leg.
Your job?
Stay focused. Stay structured. Stay patient.
Don’t Let Fear Steal Your Future
Most traders never make it not because they lack talent
but because they can’t sit still through uncertainty.
They can’t handle being early.
They can’t handle being wrong for a week.
They can’t handle silence when everyone else is panicking.
But those who can?
They catch the move that makes their year.
They make the exit that changes their life.
They win this game.
So ask yourself:
Do I have levels marked?
Am I ready for another pullback if it comes?
Do I know when to rotate into alts again?
Do I have a plan for exits, not just entries?
If the answer is “no”
then you’re still reacting, not trading.
The Test Is Always Before the Breakout
You don’t pass by guessing.
You pass by preparing.
That’s what the Altseason Playbook and Crypto Exit Manual are for.
They aren’t PDFs.
They’re full operating systems for surviving the chop,
navigating rotations,
and exiting clean when everyone else panics.
You get:
- Altseason Playbook (AP) - How to identify alt rotations, read BTC.D, track ETH/BTC, and time your entries.
- Crypto Exit Manual (CEM) - Full exit playbook for this cycle. When to take profit. How to secure it. What to avoid.
- Private Discord Access - Live market calls, my chart updates, and real-time trade guidance.
$137 for all three, still holding this price for now.
But when October hits, and rotations start flying,
you’ll wish you had structure instead of emotions.
