The four factors that warn of a potential SELL 🚨
We’ve talked a lot about how important it is to have an investment strategy and stick to it.
Today we’re flipping the coin.
Because no strategy is flawless.
No scenario is truly “bulletproof.”
And if you invest without clear boundaries, you’re not following a strategy – you’re following hope.
And hope is not a strategy.
That’s why we put together the four major signals that can shake even the strongest market plan. These are the moments when even experienced investors pause, reassess, and say: “Okay… this is where we need to pay attention.”
1) A sharp spike in inflation
If inflation suddenly jumps, the Federal Reserve almost always responds – usually with higher interest rates.
And higher rates mean:
- more expensive loans
- lower appetite for borrowing
- more money going toward interest instead of the economy
- weaker pressure for prices to rise
In other words: a tighter environment for businesses and less liquidity for risk assets like crypto.
According to Truflation, U.S. inflation has been rising since April, but it’s not alarming. For now.
But it’s still the first thing we monitor every single day.
2) Rates move up (instead of down)
The recent market drops were caused by pure psychology:
Everyone expected a guaranteed rate cut in December.
Then, overnight, the odds flipped to “no cuts incoming.”
The market reacted instantly.
Uncertainty = selling pressure.
The good news?
The odds of a cut have jumped back up to around 67%.
But this remains a key risk:
if rates start climbing again, that’s a clear signal to reduce exposure.
3) QT comes back instead of ending
Quantitative Tightening (QT) sounds fancy, but it’s simple:
The Fed holds huge amounts of government bonds.
When they “mature,” the Fed can either:
- reinvest the money → more liquidity - or not reinvest → liquidity is pulled out of the system
When liquidity is pulled → markets cool down.
The original plan was to end QT.
If the Fed restarts it – that’s a red flag.
4) The dollar suddenly takes off
The mechanics are complex, but the idea is simple:
Strong dollar = less incentive for big investors to chase returns in risk assets.
Weak dollar → more search for yield → more capital flowing into crypto.
The dollar has been climbing recently, but it’s not dangerous yet.
But it’s definitely an indicator we don’t ignore.
Unpredictable triggers that can blow up the market
These are events you can’t forecast, but you can account for:
- Major issues at a top-tier exchange (Coinbase / Binance)
- An FTX-style scandal
Right now, this front is calm.
And that’s a good thing.
Conclusion: the strategy is solid – but never blind
All the factors above are in the green or yellow zone.
None are red.
This doesn’t mean “zero risk.”
It means the context is under control.
The investor who survives isn’t the one with “iron convictions,” but the one who knows:
- when they’ll enter
- when they’ll stay
- and when they’ll exit without emotion
This is what makes a strategy strong – not invincible, but resilient.
