How to Actually Make Money in the Crypto Bull Run, Without Holding the Bag into the Bear Market

The crypto bull market feels like a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. But here’s the truth most people ignore:

You don’t make money by being right. You make money by taking profit.

Every cycle, millions of traders watch their portfolios 10x, only to watch it all vanish because they didn’t have an exit plan. In this guide, we’ll show you how to capitalize on the bull run and avoid getting trapped once the market shifts.


🚀 Why Most People Lose Money in a Bull Market

Believe it or not, the majority of traders lose money in bull runs, not bear markets.

Why?

  • They never take profit
  • They get stuck chasing pumps
  • They hold everything thinking it’s “still early”
  • They ignore macro signals and narrative shifts
  • They don’t rotate capital between sectors or stablecoins

It’s not greed, it’s lack of a plan.

Let’s fix that.


📈 Step 1: Recognize the Phases of a Bull Market

Most bull runs follow a cycle:

  1. Early Accumulation Phase – Smart money is buying, sentiment is quiet
  2. Mid Bull Run – Big moves, retail starts to enter
  3. Parabolic Phase – Media coverage explodes, coins 5–10x in days
  4. Distribution Phase – Volume peaks, large players begin exiting
  5. Crash & Bear Market – Retail holds the bag, liquidity dries up

🎯 Your goal? Start planning exits before Step 4, not during.


💰 Step 2: Lock in Profit… Don’t Guess the Top

You don’t need to call the exact top. You just need to have rules:

  • Take partial profit at 2x, 3x, 5x, etc.
  • Use trailing stop-losses to ride momentum but lock gains
  • Set price alerts based on technical resistance levels
  • Start rotating profits into USDT/USDC or BTC/ETH

🧠 Remember: The market doesn’t warn you before it crashes.


📊 Step 3: Watch for Bear Market Warning Signs

Here are some red flags a top may be forming:

  • Bitcoin Dominance ($BTC.D) starts to rise while altcoins bleed
  • Volume dries up on major breakouts
  • Narrative rotation fails — e.g., AI coins stop trending
  • Altcoin charts form double tops or lower highs
  • Macroeconomic pressure increases (rate hikes, geopolitical conflict)

Don’t ignore the signs. They’re the difference between 6-figure profits and being down 90%.


🔁 Step 4: Rotate Capital Like a Pro

The real pros are always rotating capital:

  • Early Bull: BTC → ETH → Large Caps
  • Mid Bull: Large Caps → Mid Caps
  • Late Bull: Mid Caps → Low Caps
  • Distribution: Rotate back into BTC, ETH, or stablecoins

By following the money, you stay one step ahead of retail.
