## Transcript

altcoins you hold right now can completely change your life in the next 6-12 months. It sounds incredible. Yes, but this is the reality that I will help you understand. However, there is an important nuance: most people in cryptocurrency
make at least one of the key mistakes, and this can cost them a lot of money. Today we will figure out how to avoid these traps and get the most out of the market. support the video with a like and subscribe to the channel. It's like a ticket to our exciting
channel. It's like a ticket to our exciting journey through the world of cryptocurrency. so promising? To answer this question, you need to understand how the
cryptocurrency market works. It all starts with Bitcoin. When its price starts to rise, more liquidity enters the market. This money supply begins to push the price of Bitcoin upwards, and then it begins to flow into altcoins. We call this
altcoin season, and it is during this period that those very 5-10 x's that every investor dreams of occur. That is, the price of the coin grows 5 times, 10 times, but  It's important to understand one key thing here: many beginners make the mistake of taking
profits too early. Here's an example: you buy a coin, say, for $10, it grows by 100%, and you decide to sell it, rejoicing in your small victory. But then you see how this coin soars to $200. This happened
to me too when I sold my Salan tokens too early. This happened in 2023, when the coin's price collapsed to $8, and everyone was already saying that this was its collapse. I bought a small amount of Salan coins in the hope of getting at least a 30 or
50% profit, and at that moment the price rose by 100%, and I decided to sell it because I thought it was just a rebound and the price would return to $8 again. As you can see, as a result, instead of big X's, I was content. Baby, don't repeat my
mistake. Now it's worth $250. Now let's talk about how the market grows. Let's figure it out using an example when Bitcoin's dominance falls. Altcoins start to show their growth, this is not a coincidence, but part of the market cycle.
For example, in the last boom market, Bitcoin dominance fell to 40% and that's when we saw how many coins like Salon Gala and others gave their holders huge profits. Most people are afraid to hold their
coins because they don't know when the market will reverse. If you sell too early, you'll leave money on the table. Imagine that you sold at 30% and then saw its sharp rise. This can be a serious blow to your morale. How to
avoid this mistake. Instead of panicking, watch Bitcoin dominance when it drops to 40%. This is a signal that the altcoin market is close to its peak, but while Bitcoin dominance remains above
60%, there is no point in rushing to take profits now. How not to make these kinds of mistakes. Let's look at the seven main mistakes that investors make in cryptocurrency. If you've ever asked yourself this question, why are
n't my coins growing? This video is definitely for you. I'll tell you how to avoid fatal mistakes so as not to  Not only to preserve, but also to increase your assets. Mistake number one is taking profits too early. We just discussed this mistake, but it's worth
repeating: don't take your altcoins for a small profit. We didn't come here for 20-30 pros. But for 5-10 x if you're afraid of missing the peak. Focus on Bitcoin dominance while it's above 6. Your altcoins
still have growth potential. The second is excessive trading. Many beginners open Coin Market Cap or Crypto Bubbles every day. They see that some coin has grown by 300% and immediately sell their assets to buy it. But
this is a road to nowhere. You turn into exit liquidity for those who have already taken profits. Remember, it's better to hold your coins that you've analyzed than to chase other people's successes. Third, this is Thomas syndrome of
missed profits. This fear is familiar to everyone. You see how the coin is rapidly growing and think that you will already miss out on your profit, but more often than not, such purchases end in a loss.  It has already made its 1000% and its growth potential is
minimal at this stage. It's better to look for coins that haven't taken off yet but have a strong foundation for this. Fourth, this is panic selling during drops in the crypto market. Drops are not the end of the world, but part of a cycle. Many people,
seeing minus 50% on their coins, sell them in panic and what happens then the coin recovers. And you are left without your assets. Recently, one of the mm coins dropped to 25% and then it rose by 80. Those who sold them simply
lost their money. The fifth mistake is carelessness and lack of security. I forgot to write a SIT phrase, I didn't enable two-factor authentication, I left money on the exchange unprotected. Congratulations. You are
like cash. You wouldn't throw a wallet with 10 dollars on the throw a wallet with 10 dollars on the street. That's right. Sixth, this is a lack of your own analysis. If you buy a coin just because someone
said so, this is a mistake. If you don't understand what kind of coin it is, why?  You hold an asset, but you'll sell it on the first dip. Learn to analyze, read white papers, study the project team and roadmaps.
This will help you choose those assets that really have potential for growth. The seventh mistake is falling into the hands of scammers. Scammers in the crypto market are a separate problem if someone promises to double your deposit in a day.
Know this is a scam, ignore suspicious messages, comments with suspicious links, and do not send your money to anyone. Remember, it's better to spend your time studying the market than to lose your money due to your
inattention. So, friends, these seven mistakes are common among investors. Avoid them and your chances of success will increase significantly. Next, I'll tell you how to determine the ideal moment to take profits in order to get the
most out of your altcoins. So, we've reached the most important topic: when to take profits. Taking profits is an art that needs to be learned. If you sell too early, you'll miss out on the X's, delay, and risk being left with losses.
Here are the basic principles that will help you make the right decisions. Principle one: Watch Bitcoin dominance.  Bitcoin dominance is a key indicator for understanding market signals when it falls to
40%. This is a signal that the altcoin market is approaching its peak. This is when most altcoins show maximum growth. But if Bitcoin dominance remains above 60%, altcoins are still far from their peaks. It is
immediately see the Bitcoin dominance chart against altcoins. This yellow line is Bitcoin dominance, and the gray line is altcoin dominance. These two lines almost mirror each other like in a mirror. When the yellow line goes down, the
gray line goes up, this will mean that the altcoin season has begun, and when the dominance of both is at the same level, approximately 40% will mean it is time to sell your altcoins and take profits. As you can see, everything is very
simple and easy to understand. At what point should you sell crypto? The main thing you should remember is patience - this is the key to success in cryptocurrency. Do not take profits too early, but do not wait forever during the past.  During the bull market, Bitcoin's dominance
fell to 40%, and coins like Gala made colossal gains. But if you had lost the opportunity to make a big profit. Second, analyze
market liquidity. The money supply is the fuel for the crypto market. The more money in circulation, the higher the chances of asset growth. Liquidity charts will help you understand when money is starting to leave the market. If you see a decrease in liquidity, it's time to
you see a decrease in liquidity, it's time to think about fixing in 2026. A peak in the money supply is expected. This could coincide with the peak of the crypto market, so it's important to monitor macroeconomic indicators. Third, consider the peculiarity of
MCOs. If you hold M-coins such as Shiba Inu or Dagcoin, be prepared significant growth. These coins have a high risk of rollbacks, and it's better to lock in those same 50-100x gains than to expect the impossible from them. M-coins are
like a carousel at an amusement park: fun, but you can fly off at a moment's notice. Fourth, long-term assets.  Hold until the end of the cycle. If you've invested in top projects like Ethereum, Salana, or Polygon, don't rush to sell. Long-term assets
have growth potential until the very end of the market cycle. Salana continued to grow in the last cycle even when many altcoins had already begun to decline. Such projects should be held until obvious signs of the end of the cycle. Break down the
take-home into stages; don't try to exit the asset at one moment. Break the take-home into several stages. For example, sell 25% on growth, another 25% on peaks, and hold the rest until
clear signs of a market reversal appear. This will help minimize risks and preserve part of the profit. So, how to understand the signals for profit-taking? A sharp decrease in liquidity in the market; a drop in Bitcoin dominance below 40%;
altcoin charts are starting to show signs of a reversal, and the project's fundamentals are worsening, for example, due to development problems or capital outflow. Profit-taking is not just a science, but a combination of analysis, patience, and common
sense. Follow these principles to get the most out of your altcoins. If you liked this video  Don't forget to like and subscribe to the channel. There's even more useful content ahead. Also, leave your comments. And for the
