5 Things You Should Know Before the Bullrun Begins

The crypto market often goes through strong bull cycles, but not everyone manages to take advantage of them. These are 5 key lessons I’ve learned over the past few years that can help you be better prepared when the next bullrun hits.

1. Avoid getting caught up in fomo

When I first joined the market, I was easily drawn into stories of people making quick 10x profits from trending tokens or memecoins. Without doing proper research, I bought in late and got stuck at the top. I’ve learned since then that having a clear investment plan and sticking to it helps reduce emotional decisions.

2. Don’t invest like you’re gambling

There was a time I just bought random coins hoping one would moon. But after a series of losses, I realized: without research and understanding, it’s not investing — it’s just luck-based gambling. If you don’t know what you’re buying, don’t buy it.

3. Don’t constantly switch your portfolio

I used to swap coins all the time, thinking I needed to follow every new trend. But most of the time I bought high and sold low. Now I pick carefully, stay patient, and only make changes when there’s a solid reason.

4. Be careful with leverage

Margin and futures trading sound tempting because of the fast profits. But just one wrong move can wipe out your account. I’ve been liquidated multiple times from overusing leverage. Unless you fully understand the risks and have solid risk management, don’t touch it.

5. Don’t overtrade

There was a phase where I traded almost non-stop, thinking the more trades I made, the more I’d earn. In reality, it drained me and led to poor decisions. Fewer, higher-quality trades often deliver better results with less stress.
