Bitcoin just hit a new all-time high, and yes — it’s showing strength. Some are even projecting $150K in the near future. But here’s a hard truth every trader and investor must face:
Every major pump is followed by a dump.
Let’s look back at 2021 for a clear example:
🔹 BTC rallied to $69,000 in November 2021 — everyone was euphoric. 🔹 But by the end of 2022, it had crashed to around $15,500 — a 78% drop. 🔹 Altcoins suffered even worse — many dropped 90–95% from their peaks.
What caused it?
🧠 Smart money (institutions, whales) often lead the rally, pushing prices higher. 😨 Then retail FOMO kicks in — people enter late, driven by emotion, not logic. 💸 Once liquidity peaks, those early buyers start selling into the hype. 📉 Result: A brutal correction that catches most off guard.
So ask yourself: ❓ Are you buying strength... or FOMOing into a top? ❓ Have you planned your exit strategy? ❓ What will you do if BTC suddenly drops 40–50%?
📌 This bull cycle isn’t risk-free. Yes, there’s upside potential. But the downside risk is real, especially when sentiment is overly bullish and euphoria is in the air.
Suggestions: ✅ Take partial profits on the way up. ✅ Always zoom out and analyze macro trends. ✅ Don’t follow influencers blindly — follow the charts. ✅ Protect your capital — that’s the key to surviving every cycle.
