That supercycle talk is circulating again, and honestly, it should set off some alarm bells.
Every bull run cycle, the narrative shifts. Suddenly everyone's convinced this time is different—that we're not just in a regular market rally, but a genuine "supercycle" where traditional price dynamics don't apply. Spoiler: they usually do.
When you hear this term gaining traction, it typically signals a few things. First, retail enthusiasm is climbing. Second, leverage and risk appetite are creeping back into the market. Third—and this is crucial—exits are becoming harder to time.
The danger isn't in the supercycle concept itself. It's in what happens when traders stop thinking critically and just ride the narrative. Position sizes balloon, risk management gets abandoned, and FOMO drowns out caution.
If you're trading or investing right now, maybe keep this in mind: the best trades aren't the ones that follow the loudest narrative. They're the ones where you understand your entry, your exit, and exactly how much you can afford to lose. Narrative shifts come and go. Your capital preservation strategy shouldn't.

Here we go again talking about a super cycle, always the same rhetoric, it's really funny.
Every time they say this time is different, but it still ends up crashing as usual. Wake up, everyone.
Adding leverage upward... just looking at it feels dangerous, really.

Hmm... Hearing this set of rhetoric every round, from a data perspective, retail leverage is indeed accumulating. This signal is quite worth being cautious about.

Here we go again with the "super cycle" story, always fooling people like this, and in the end, we still get the leek harvest.

Here we go again with the supercycle hype, always the same rhetoric. It's really time to be cautious.
Honestly, as soon as this kind of argument appears, it means retail investors are going crazy, leverage is back, and in the end, it's still a cut.

Here comes the same "super cycle" theory again, really time to sound the alarm
Every bull market just gets a new name to deceive people, claiming this time is different... but it still boils down to fundamentals
Retail investors rush in, leverage starts to increase again, and the difficulty of exiting skyrockets—it's the same old trick
Watching this wave of narratives flying everywhere, I knew danger was imminent, and that was the easiest time to get wiped out
But to be fair, those who truly survive are the cold-blooded ones who only know their entry and exit points and their risk tolerance

Really, wake up, there's nothing different this time.
The position is too large, it's time to reduce the holdings.
