Most crypto investors NEVER take profits — they watch gains evaporate in the next bear market. Here's the simple tranche strategy that locks in wealth without trying to time the exact top.
In 2021, countless investors had 10x gains — then held through the 2022 crash and gave it all back. The mistake: never selling. "It'll go higher" turns into "I'll sell when it recovers" turns into a 80% loss. Greed kills gains.
Don't try to sell the exact top — impossible. Instead, pre-decide levels: sell 20% at $85K, 20% at $95K, 20% at $100K, 20% at $115K. Keep 20% as a "moon bag." You lock in profits on the way up, guilt-free.
Write your sell targets BEFORE the euphoria. Emotional decisions in a mania always fail. A written plan ("sell 20% at each level") survives FOMO. When the price hits your level, execute — no second-guessing, no greed.
Each profit-taking sale triggers 30% tax on the gain (+ 1% TDS above ₹50K). Factor this in: a ₹1 lakh profit means ₹31,200 tax. Still — locking in 69% of a gain beats round-tripping 100% of it to zero. Take profits. Pay tax. Keep wealth.
