I just to say thank you to everyone on this sub. I bought SOl at $109 and then at $101.

I sold today at $178 and made a nice little profit under $3.5k.

I am new to crypto and have been following the prices since the last bull run but never really understood the technology or how to read candle graphs/charts etc and look for trends.

I saw the market picking up on Jan 24 and knew about the upcoming halving/ ETF approval so got in around early Feb 24. Plus some of my friends started to mention crypto again which was a sign to me.

Part of me thinks SOL will still go up but as greed is at an all-time high I was happy to sell and take my profits.

I will look to re-enter the bear market after the 2025 run and until then I will be observing and studying more about crypto technology to make even more money in the next cycle.

With the profits I made - I will be buying a new computer to replace my 10-year-old PC and also buying a new phone for myself. I will also be giving my mom some money to enjoy herself on holiday. I am happy I can do this with the gains made - it's a good feeling indeed.

In preparation for the next bull cycle and bear market, do you have any advice and tips?
