Is it time to sell yet?

If you’ve been checking your portfolio over the last week, you’ll know it hasn’t been a pretty picture. There’s a lot of FUD in the market, talk of selling, and some influencers are even suggesting that the bull market is over!

It’s enough to make anyone start doubting.

So, today I’m going to dive into what’s happening, and hopefully reassure you that this is nothing to fear.

If you look online right now, the sentiment is all over the place. But you know the one thing we definitely haven’t seen anywhere? Euphoria.

Remember, euphoria is the real signal that we’re near the top of a bull market. That’s when the hype is off the charts and everyone is convinced that prices will keep climbing forever.

And I’m sure you’ll agree with me when I say, we are nowhere near that point.

Right now, fear and doubt are swirling. And guess what? That’s the exact opposite of the feeling at the top. When we hit euphoria, the sentiment is wild, optimistic, and sometimes downright irrational! And right now, we’re not even close.

To illustrate this further, we only need to look at the Wall Street Cheat Sheet.

This chart maps market psychology to price action, showing just how much investor emotions drive cycles. This pattern has stood the test of time for literally hundreds of years – from the first major market to every crypto bull run since the beginning.

It’s all human psychology in action, and crypto is no exception.

Pullbacks like this often lead to investors panic selling, followed by institutional money swooping in and buying up the dips. That’s often what kicks us back into hope and optimism, and trust me, we’ll be there again.

In the contrary, the current sentiment could indicate we are actually earlier than anticipated and sitting more around the “hope” phase – meaning this bull market could go longer and be stronger than anticipated with “euphoria” set for later this year.

I’ll wrap up by saying this: In the history of crypto, there hasn’t been a bull market that ended with a whimper. These markets end in a blaze of euphoria, with everyone scrambling to buy crypto at sky-high prices and lots of talk “crypto gains”. So in my personal opinion, based on cyclical history, we still have a long way to go – we just need to hold a little longer.

So, where does that leave us?

I know the volatility can be hard, but the best advice is something I’ve shared many times before – zoom out. Don’t get caught up in the noise or obsess over daily candles. Whilst nothing is certain, the indicators we use to predict cycles, based on history, tell us we’re still expecting our major peak around October/November 2025.

Always stick to your investment plan and ensure you have one. This will be your guideline to taking profit – not the waves of the market.

Like previous cycles, I believe this upcoming cycle could be one of the biggest wealth-making opportunities of our lifetime. Stay focused, stay positive, and most importantly – keep educated.
