Next year will hopefully be the start of the bull run and it will be first for me so just wondering if anyone has any advice/tips on how avoid the temptation and not sell too early?

All I have experienced so far in Crypto is bear market and with the market showing good signs over the last few days its made me realize that I am not used to the good times and I want to have a plan in place for when the bull run returns.

Even after the good few days recently my portfolio is still down 17% overall and at the worst I think it was 50% down so just getting back to break even will feel big for me but need to remember I am in this to do a lot better then break even.

Any advice or individual plan when it comes to selling in bull run?

A time will come when everyone will be shouting and jubilating that bitcoin is going to 200k, but do you know what, I haven't had much opportunity to experience that but research says that's the perfect time to sell and quietly exit the market for time been. It's just normal scope to keep everyone from selling and that is true. The big guys will move the price to the target they want and quietly leave the market without informing anyone.

Have a plan and a price target, if you are a seasonal investor then you don't have to hold your bitcoin forever just like other people that like holding for long time. Bullrun is going to come, it's some days away precisely April but we might not hit new all time high by then but subsequently after the bull run, all coins are going to pump for sure. Then you can sell when others are still hoping to see bitcoin in $300k or $1M as some of them use to say.

Selling too early is better than not selling at all and seeing your portfolio lose tons of value, I wonder how those who bought BTC at 70k will be feeling till today, they will have to hold till the next bear market to make their money back, and that's because it's BTC, if it's any other altcoins they might never make their money back because altcoins don't always go back to their all time high again or possible died in the bear market.

You should have a specific target in mind, set a goal for yourself, know how much you want from the next bull market and make sure that it's possible, if you are targeting a 10x it's possible with projects under top 10 on coin market cap and if you want the 100x then newer projects are better, you don't have to listen to me, but this is what I believe.

Do not buy Bitcoin and expect a 100x, it's impossible and that's why people often get rekt, they will hold throughout the bull period because they are waiting for the impossible and it will never come, know what you want and take profit in bull market, there is nothing like losses when taking profits.

Your belief in the potential that can be generated will guide you towards being more patient when temptation comes your way. An initial plan and target will give you the strength to restrain yourself when temptation comes. When you are faced with a situation that tests your resolve, you must stick to your beliefs and initial plans. Investment strategies can change depending on the situation that occurs in the market, you can change your initial plan if your expectations are difficult to achieve or the market suddenly collapses which can absorb back the profits that have been seen.

Close your eyes, then choose a target amount for your portfolio to reach before selling. Along the road, don't get too greedy if multiple analyses reveal that the price will not reach the price you set for your take profit. I've not witnessed one, but these are my plans for when the bull run season arrives. 

Any advice or individual plan when it comes to selling in bull run?

Bull runs always occur after halving. Some people believe that a bull run is invariably followed by a halving, which is not the case. It takes some time for a bull run to occur after halving, but it is usually enhanced by halving. So, halving does not result in an instant bull run, wait for the bull run to happen before selling.

This is the market, no matter how much we plan, the market won't give us the stars easily. Just because a bull run has started doesn't mean it can take a correction from here. Since $8k has been pumped into Bitcoin. As a result of the pump, new funds have started coming in.  Bitcoin ETF is supposed to be added if it is not approved now but ETF is playing a role in the market. If the ETF gets approved then all altcoins are likely to get pumped. Then we can see bull session. i think Bitcoin will be limited to bull run until halving.

I love the way you are unidirectional with your question.
Bull run brings mixed feelings and what drive lots of people to invest is because they want quick money but there is more to altcoins investment. They die off quickly and react quickly than bitcoin. Bitcoin is the reason why we have bullrun today due to halving, buy as much bitcoin you can but of course with the amount you are willing to risk, don't borrow money to buy bitcoin; be warned about that.

All I have experienced so far in Crypto is bear market and with the market showing good signs over the last few days its made me realize that I am not used to the good times and I want to have a plan in place for when the bull run returns.

Exactly what I'm trying to shed light on. You have your wallet filled with chunks of altcoins that promises empty cann juice, bitcoin is waiting for any positive news before it takes a ride upward, going down now will be difficult but I can see that some altcoins are already been pump but when halving approaches, many of them are not going to pump again, it's going to be all about bitcoin.

I will say it one more time, buy bitcoin, then you can buy some altcoins if you think you want them for good return but just know that altcoins are very volatile if something where to happen to the market and don't forget to sell when you had already good profits.

The plan is useless if we don't follow it. Like if you plan to sell your Bitcoin at the price of $60k, you probably be waiting for it to come. But why some can't do it because they are impatient and their mind is full of uncertainties?
In order not to sell too early, then must have to do this;
 - be patient
 - stick to our plan
 - trust

The market is full of traps which is why we should have control our emotions, otherwise.

I think having extra fund is only what can help not to tamper with investment because it is impossible to not sell when you are hungry. Having extra fund will encourage investors not even to reason to tamper with investment,  the target will always to hodl to get to the the target of selling high. It will be nice while investing instead people will be thinking and depending how they can make profit from Bitcoin  it is better to look how money can be generated from another source to solve problems.  Learning to be discipline when it comes to saving will also help people to get to their target of profit.

When I got into the world of Bitcoin and the buying and selling of this asset, knowing when to buy and when to sell were some of the things I struggled with as it was all guess work not until I was forced to learn charting skills because the more experienced users explained the best price to take profit and when to sell using chart's and it was at this point when my interest for chart's grew.

So for those waiting to experience their first bull,use chart's to pick out at what price you will be selling/buying and use skill to do this and not guess work. Otherwise back then making profits was so much easier as Bitcoin was still that unexplored asset.

Not to read every single article that comes out. Because it is so sure that many of them will come out and for you not sell early is not to read most of those.

Reason? It will play out your emotion.

That's true because your emotion will be based on what you read and if they're not even from a reliable source, they tend to have that intention of playing out everyone's thought and might push you to sell early due to panic.

[Onyeeze]

Next year is a bullrun so what I have to say is that we should not miss this opportunity by not buying more of bitcoin, because their is some certain I believe and also understand that is the cause of we not having or making profits in cryptocurrency, so that time I believe that cryptocurrency is something you have to take out your time to cross examine before you invest, but a bullrun is on the way coming and is in 2025 and if time is not take I suspect that the price will rise above 50k but other people is predicting that price of bitcoin have gotten to a certain point that price of bitcoin will reach to some levels now

[DVlog]

Higher time frames and moving averages give an accurate signal for market change. If you use 200 EMA in a weekly chart of the bitcoin market you will see most of its previous signals are accurate. When the chandle crosses above the 200 EMA line it is a buy signal and when it crosses below it is a sell signal. You won't be able to sell at the peak by using this indicator but you will surely be aware of the direction change of the market.

How to not sell too early by just Buying DCA more and selling when bitcoin reaches new ATH is as simple as that. 

If the Bitcoin price continues following the 4-year cycle or halving price cycle you will get the All time high and you can sell it at that time.

Don't sell too early when the bull run starts next year. Because we know Bitcoin price is always trying to go to a higher point so wait for the market to see that higher point. Selling some amount of BTC and keeping the rest when the price of Bitcoin steadily increases. What we have seen from our general experience is that if the Bitcoin price is low for a few days in the market, then it goes back to high. Of course, if you can wait a long time in this situation, investing will save you some time. Also, you can sell in bull season and buy again in bear season, it will give you good amount of profit I think.

The only advice I can give to anyone who is interested in bitcoin is to buy on a recurring basis and never sell it back to an exchange. Instead look for merchants who accept bitcoin spend your bitcoin as money with them.

Bitcoin is not an investment. It is a change in the way the global economy works and if you want to be a part of that change, buy (or accept, earn, mine, etc.) and hodl until you feel the need to spend it on something and then you can use bitcoin as money like it has been designed to be used; as peer-to-peer digital cash.

Any advice or individual plan when it comes to selling in bull run?

Utilize now that the market is relatively calm to make your analysis and draw up your expected level to exit the market before price begins to spike and investors and traders get carried away like children expectant of the first rain. Once the rally begins, there's going to be so much noise in the market that you're likely not to hear any more sensible but bloated and bogus analyses.

Don't base your exit on anyone's analysis then. Pick it now.

I'm looking at $120k – $150k for a fresh ATH. If we get past that, I take it as a bonus. Already Bitcoin is forming a pennant in 4hrs TF in readiness for a breakout. I expect it goes well up from there.

[SOKO-DEKE]

Yes, halving is next year and there are a few months to go, and from there we are expecting a bull run, but the truth is that nobody can actually say the day or month bull run will start and end, so as short-term investors or people planning to sell in this upcoming bull run, they need to be wise and not be too greedy on making more profits, because they can later end up with no profits in the next bull run because nobody can say this will be the limit price of Bitcoin in this upcoming bull run and looking for higher profits can make you end in next bear market again.
 
So if we are blind to know the highest point where the Bitcoin price will reach in the next bull run, it will be better for everyone to have their own target at which percent they will like to take their profits. And it will be better if someone limits their greed because it is greed that makes some people fail to make a profit from their Bitcoin investment, all because they want to sell at the highest price but later end up selling at the wrong time. And again, I will never advise anyone to invest much in altcoins because many are pump-and-dump coins and if possible I will say avoid it at all. Even in bull run time, altcoins can still be dumped, so if you want to invest in altcoins, just invest a small amount of money so that even if you lose, you will not lose much.

Like you OP this is my first experience of expecting  a major bull run, halving is sometime next year then the ATH, the excitement is massive. I've heard experienced members talking with confidence that if you don't have enough money to buy bitcoin and hold, then you should get a second job to make sure that you key in by buying and holding till bull run and decide whether to sale and make abnormal profit. Why I'm saying all this is because it's certain that bull run will happen, so issue for OP is the right time to sell. What i understand from the answers and advice that are given to you in this thread is that the decision to sale is up to you. It's your bitcoin and you know what your needs are, so use your discretion to decide for yourself. That's what I'll do, being my first time too, in wanting to experience a major bull run.

Bitcoin is awesome,  the power rests in your hands to make decisions that affects your bitcoin, hold it, trade it or use it for transaction payments, sell it now or later, the choice is yours.

Your suggestion looks quite good and also quite good, because the understanding received by everyone will be very different even though there are many people who still consider Bitcoin as a future investment. Which might be interpreted as a currency that is very useful for everyone who understands it properly enough, because everyone can imagine how he lives in an environment where the people around him are willing to accept Bitcoin as peer-to-peer digital money. And this can also give rise to more and more Bitcoin savers from year to year.
