What will happen to your psyche in 2025?
The last few years have been lenient with your actions.
You could just sit and wait, thanking yourself for not buying anything in spot.
You didn't earn, but you didn't lose either.
Such is the bear market.
2024 made you worry; now sitting idle, you could see how those who bought during the bear market were earning while you thanked yourself for not getting caught in a double bottom.
Any defeats in the bear market became irrelevant in the bull market; new ATHs (only in spot, of course).
You didn't lose, but you didn't earn either.
Nothing has changed.
But
Now, every day of waiting will generate the opposite emotion in you.
- you are no longer a good person for not losing; you are now not earning the money you had possibly already counted as yours every day. FOMO, my friend.
Do you know what will get you?
As soon as you decide to buy something in a bull market, a correction will happen.
And your FOMO will be diluted with new doubts.
Because now you are not just watching.
Now you see the loss in real money.
Yes, you can also be in a drawdown during a bull market for a week, two, or even a month.
And you can be in the red while the whole market is rising, but sometimes your tokens don't grow right now.
And you start looking on YouTube, or elsewhere for hints about what you did wrong.
And you'll definitely, absolutely find a confident piece of advice on what you should have done.
And you decide to correct the mistake.
Making a new one
Not giving the seeds of your original strategy the chance to reward you with the fruits of your patience.
You had a strategy, right?
You rush to write your old bet down as a mistake.
You rush to make a new one, jumping into a train that has already left.
And you will see a train pass you by, the one for which you surrendered your ticket.
I hope this is not about you, my friend. I hope you have the answer inside you as to why you won't make these mistakes.
The patient will get his. You won't have FOMO.
