Exit Choreography

DeFi Strategies • Yield Models • Token Income

sequenced off-ramp execution

Exit Choreography refers to the intentional design and timing of a multi-phase capital exit strategy, structured to flow across key volatility markers, sentiment signals, or symbolic timing portals. Rather than exiting all at once or reacting emotionally, exit choreography creates a synchronized plan to unwind positions in waves—often coordinated with dominance shifts, lunar cycles, APR decay, or liquidity contraction. This approach helps preserve yield, minimize slippage, reduce emotional error, and bridge capital into safer yield layers or real-world stores of value.

Use Case: An investor executes a three-stage exit from high-risk farms, starting two days before a full moon, scaling down again during a major unlock event, and completing final rotation into $KAG vaults and validator nodes at the equinox window.

Key Concepts:

  • Phased Off-Ramping — Breaking up exits into timed segments across different volatility points
  • Sentiment-Driven Timing — Matching exits to fear/greed indicators, social spikes, or emotional saturation
  • Symbolic Exit Anchoring — Using lunar windows, eclipses, or 11/11-style gateways to guide the off-ramp
  • APR Decay Detection — Monitoring when yield incentives begin declining before liquidity evaporates
  • Liquidity-Aware Sequencing — Unwinding in advance of slippage or TVL collapse
  • Cycle-Synced Transitions — Aligning exits with macro dominance reversals or cycle thresholds
  • Real Asset Bridge — Ending exit choreography with capital reallocation into hard assets or yield anchors
  • Exit-to-Entry Continuity — Designing the off-ramp as the starting point of the next deployment arc
  • Gateway Timing — Portal-aligned windows for strategic exits
  • Macro Timing Bridges — Inter-phase connectors for capital migration
  • Cycle Exit Positioning — Strategic timing of profit-taking
  • Capital Rotation — The cyclical movement between asset classes

Summary: Exit choreography transforms reactive selling into a precision-timed capital migration. It protects gains, honors energetic market timing, and positions capital for the next phase without losing flow or clarity during the pivot.

Exit Choreography Panic or One-Shot Exit
Multi-phase exit aligned with macro timing Single event triggered by fear or noise
Anchored to sentiment, cycles, and symbolic dates Detached from broader capital flow or narratives
Rotates capital into yield or real-asset buffers Exits into cash or sits idle without a plan
Becomes the first step in the next capital cycle Ends in detachment from future market phases

Exit Sequence Reference

when to trigger each phase of off-ramping

Exit Trigger Signal Type Action
APR Decay Begins Protocol health First 25% exit from yield farms
Full Moon Window Symbolic timing Second tranche — emotional peak zone
BTC Dominance Rising Macro rotation Exit remaining alts, hold BTC/ETH
Extreme Greed (75+) Sentiment peak Aggressive profit-taking, rotate to stable
Unlock Event / TVL Drop Liquidity risk Emergency exit before slippage spikes
Equinox / Gateway Date Symbolic completion Final rotation into preservation assets

The Exit Dance

four movements of strategic off-ramping

Movement 1: Early Trim

• 20-25% of position
• Triggered by first warning signs
• APR decay, narrative fatigue
• “Take something off the table”

Preserves optionality while reducing exposure

Movement 2: Momentum Exit

• 25-30% of remaining
• Triggered during strength, not weakness
• Full moon, sentiment peaks
• “Sell into green candles”

Exits when liquidity is abundant

Movement 3: Rotation Bridge

• 25-30% converted to yield
• Move from speculation to income
• Validator staking, stable farms
• “Capital stays productive”

Maintains flow while de-risking

Movement 4: Final Preservation

• Remaining balance
• Gateway timing, cycle completion
• Into $KAG/$KAU, cold storage
• “Secure the elixir”

Completes the hero’s return

Exit Choreography Checklist

designing your off-ramp sequence

Pre-Choreography Setup

☐ Total position value documented
☐ Exit tranches defined (25/25/25/25)
☐ Target destinations mapped
☐ Trigger signals identified
☐ Gateway dates marked on calendar
☐ Gas reserves set aside for moves

Signal Monitoring

☐ APR trends tracked weekly
☐ Fear & Greed Index watched daily
☐ BTC dominance on alert
☐ TVL changes monitored
☐ Unlock schedules noted
☐ Lunar phases mapped ahead

Execution Discipline

☐ Exit on signal, not emotion
☐ Sell into strength when possible
☐ Don’t skip tranches hoping for more
☐ Accept “good enough” over “perfect top”
☐ Document each exit with reasoning
☐ No re-entering same position impulsively

Destination Routing

$KAG/$KAU for preservation layer
Cyclo for continued yield
SparkDEX staking dividends
Ledger for long-term cold storage
☐ Stablecoins for dry powder
☐ Next cycle entry plan outlined

The Final Act: Exit choreography is most critical during Phase 4-5 transition. This is where fortunes are made or lost — the difference between those who capture gains and those who ride them back down. Begin trimming as Phase 4 matures. Accelerate during Phase 5 euphoria. Complete the dance by rotating into $KAG/$KAU before the music stops. The choreographed exit isn’t about calling the top — it’s about ensuring you’re dancing toward the door while others are still crowding the floor.
