The Next 3 Exit Signals I Watch Before Crypto Collapses (2/4)

In Part 1, I showed you the first two warning lights on my dashboard:

• BTC Dominance < 45% = altcoin rotation ending

• USDT Dominance < 3% = retail fully deployed, no ammo left

If you missed that, go read it again. Because these signals have ended every major bull run we’ve had.

Now let’s move into Part 2, where I cover the next 3 metrics that quietly flash red before the crash hits.

Signal 3: DXY Falls Below 95 = The Dollar Bends, Then Snaps

You want to know when the crypto party is over?

Here’s what happens:

• During the bull run, DXY drops

• People shift into risk-on assets — crypto, stocks, alts

• But when DXY drops too far (below 95) and finds a bottom?

The moment DXY reverses and strengthens again?

• Liquidity leaves

• Risk gets punished

• BTC starts selling off

• Alts implode even faster

This happened mid-2018 and mid-2022 —
right after DXY bottomed and started pumping.

So yeah, celebrate the dump.
But track the bounce.

When DXY reverses, I’m rotating out.

Signal 4: BTC Exchange Inflows = Whale Exit Begins

You’ve probably seen me post this in 9-5 Traders before:

When BTC starts flowing back into exchanges, they’re not donating.

They’re preparing to distribute.

Key signs:

• Exchange reserves rising

• Wallets inactive for 6+ months suddenly moving BTC

• Whale wallets splitting coins into smaller batches (exit prep)

Every major cycle top had BTC inflows spike before price crashed.

• 2017 top → massive BTC deposits

• 2021 top → same story

• 2025 top? I’ll be watching like a hawk

Because when they move coins to exchanges?

Signal 5: Altcoin Market Cap (Total3) > $1.2T = Exit the Casino

Total3 = the entire altcoin market cap, excluding BTC and ETH.

This is the real altcoin thermometer.

In 2021:

• Total3 topped around $1.4T

• Everything looked unstoppable

• Then came the multi-month bleed

Alts didn’t crash overnight.
They chopped and declined, trapping people into thinking “the bounce is coming.”

I’d rather exit at $1.2T and see it run to $1.4T,
than bag-hold it back to $500B.

These Three Together = A Loud Warning

When I see:

✅ DXY bottoming
✅ BTC exchange inflows increasing
✅ Total3 pushing into $1.2T+

Not to “wait and see.”
Not to “hope it keeps going.”
But to sell strength before the collapse.

Because I don’t care about “maximizing every dollar.”
I care about keeping what I made.

In Part 3, I’ll show you:

• What happens when M2 slows or reverses

• Why SPX topping matters more than you think

• And how retail sentiment becomes your final warning

Altseason is fun.
But exits print wealth.

So when I see BTC inflows spike, DXY reverse, or Total3 hit my target…
you’ll hear it from me — before Twitter even notices.

Let’s win. Then disappear.
