About how to take profits and avoid peaks with altcoins:
First, look at expectations and market capitalization. For example, if you expect a new hundred billion market cap to appear in the meme sector this year, then the altcoins you bet on shouldn't be frequently traded or checked. Hold on to them, and see if your coins have the potential during the overall crazy phase of the market. If they truly don't, don't insist; it shows you were wrong, and it's best to let go. Being wrong is normal, so learn to accept it;
Second, look at patterns and structures. For some older secondary coins, if they are neither in a hot sector nor have new hype topics, then their rise is likely due to 1 following the overall market, or 2 large funds completing accumulation at the bottom, lifting prices to release chips. At this point, you need to sell based on their patterns and structures, ensuring you always profit and remove them from your watchlist;
Third, look at sectors and main/branch lines. Mainline storyline coins will have several waves of rises before reaching a peak; branch line storylines often consist of a single wave;
Fourth, look at the overall market. Bitcoin is the compass of the crypto world, and the US stock market is the guide for Bitcoin. Their trends are determined by the overall economic environment and macro policies, so in a bull market, be sensitive to potential turning points.
