Single-Sided LPs as a Structured Profit-Taking Tool

Single-sided LP strategies can be used as a disciplined way to take profits from a spot position—without trying to time the perfect top.

The basic idea

If you deposit on the “asset side” (e.g., ETH) and set a range above current price, you start 100% in ETH. As price moves into and through your range, your position is gradually converted into USDC.

Why this is useful in bull markets

• It creates rules-based selling behavior
• It reduces emotional decision-making
• You can earn fees while exiting

What can go wrong

• If price never reaches your range, you don’t sell
• If price overshoots and reverses, you may wish you sold less
• If volatility explodes, poor ranges can lead to low efficiency

Where LP Regime fits

LP Regime is designed to answer: is the current market structure compatible with deploying liquidity?

When the regime is unstable, your range becomes a guess. When the regime is stable, your range becomes a plan.

Conclusion

Single-sided LPs can be a powerful profit-taking tool—when used with disciplined range selection and regime awareness.
