Good morning, angel investors! 👼

First, congratulations—Bitcoin has quietly surpassed $60K. Before your FOMO explodes and you consider selling a kidney to go all-in on crypto, take a moment to read this guide. I’ll share my bull market strategy, covering the three phases of a crypto bull run and key considerations for positioning your portfolio.

But first, a few updates on my newsletter:

  • Domain Change: My Substack domain is now maxcrypto.space—no impact on readers, as all links will auto-redirect.
  • New Private Messaging: A feature for paid subscribers to ask questions directly via Substack.

Understanding the Crypto Bull Market Phases

In a previous article, I outlined the four market cycles:
1. Accumulation (Bear market bottoming)
2. Markup (Bull run acceleration)
3. Distribution (Peak euphoria)
4. Decline (Market crash)

We’ve now transitioned from bear market recovery to early bull market (Phase 2-1), fueled by Bitcoin ETF inflows (~$7B at writing). The real bull run is just beginning—expect 18–24 months of intense activity.

The 3 Key Phases of a Crypto Bull Market

1. The Excitement Phase (Early Bull Market)

  • Bitcoin leads the charge, altcoins follow.
  • Early investors profit, but retail participation remains low.
  • Indicators of limited retail interest:
  • No spike in Google searches for “Bitcoin” or “crypto.”
  • Crypto YouTubers aren’t gaining subscribers rapidly.
  • Your non-crypto friends aren’t asking, “Should I buy Dogecoin?”

2. The Explosion Phase (Mid Bull Market)

  • Retail FOMO kicks in—new all-time highs (ATHs) are breached.
  • Media hype, celebrity endorsements, and VC funding surge.
  • Narratives shift rapidly (DeFi → NFTs → Memecoins).

3. The Rotation Phase (Late Bull Market)

  • Market detaches from fundamentals—speculation dominates.
  • Capital rotates between sectors (GameFi → AI tokens → RWA).
  • Bubble warning signs appear before a major correction.

My Bull Market Strategy (Lessons from Past Cycles)

1. Define Your Financial Goal

Ask: What’s my target profit? (e.g., $100K for a house down payment).
– $10K portfolio? Target 10x gains.
– $1K portfolio? Target 100x gains.

Adjust your portfolio based on risk tolerance and capital.

2. Portfolio Allocation by Market Cap

Category Market Cap Range Risk Potential Return
Large-Cap >$10B Low 2x–5x
Mid-Cap $1B–$10B Medium 5x–20x
Small-Cap <$1B High 20x–100x+
  • My approach: Shift from BTC/ETH (bear market holdings) to undervalued mid/small caps.

3. Entry & Exit Strategies

  • Entry: Don’t wait for the “bottom.” A 50% rally doesn’t preclude another 5x.
  • Exit: Take profits systematically (e.g., sell 25% at 2x, 50% at 5x).

Judge projects by market cap—not token price.

4. Focus on 1–3 Sectors

  • Example: If you tracked Uniswap’s governance proposals, you’d have caught its 100% surge.
  • Avoid FOMO: Ignore influencers shilling coins—most are exit liquidity plays.

5. Capital Rotation Trends

Historically:
BTC → ETH → Large-Cap Alts → Mid/Small-Cap Alts
This cycle may differ due to ETF-driven BTC demand, but altseason is still likely.

FAQs: Bull Market Investing

Q1: When should I take profits?

A: Follow a tiered strategy (e.g., sell 20% at 2x, 30% at 5x). Never expect to sell at the absolute top.

Q2: How do I find the next 100x coin?

A: Research low-cap projects with strong communities, narratives, and VC backing.

Q3: Should I hold Bitcoin or altcoins?

A: BTC is safer, but alts offer higher returns. Balance both based on risk appetite.

Q4: What’s the biggest mistake in a bull market?

A: Over-trading or ignoring exit plans. Greed erases profits.

Q5: How long will this bull run last?

A: Likely 18–24 months, but watch for macro trends (Fed rates, regulations).

Final Thoughts

If you survived the bear market—congratulations. The next two years will be chaotic but rewarding. Stick to a disciplined strategy, avoid hype traps, and secure profits along the way.
