Why is the market always against you?
Have you ever noticed that the price drops right after you buy something, and goes up right after you sell it? Is this bad luck, or is there something deeper behind it? Let's uncover the truth together.
This is actually not magical, and the market is not deliberately targeting you. It's mainly human psychology and the way the market works that are at work:
Herd mentality
Everyone likes to follow the trend, buy things when they are popular, and rush to sell them at the slightest sign of trouble. This kind of emotional decision-making often leads to market adjustments, and prices fluctuate accordingly.
Markets are volatile
Markets, especially cryptocurrency markets, are inherently difficult to predict. Even veterans may not always guess right. So if you feel confused, don't worry, you are not alone.
The big guys control the situation
Institutions, robots, hedge funds, these big guys use high-tech means to keep an eye on everyone's actions. They often do the opposite and use everyone's emotional reactions to make money.
So what is going on behind the scenes?
The big guys use technology and psychology to predict and influence the market:
Data modeling: Use complex mathematical formulas to predict everyone's actions.
Study psychology: See how emotions such as greed and fear affect decision-making.
Artificial intelligence: Real-time data analysis is faster than manual trading.
These tools give the big guys an advantage and can benefit from the trading patterns of retail investors.
So how can you not be played by the market?
The secret is: don't follow the crowd, stick to your own strategy.
Control your emotions
If you keep staring at the chart, you will easily get flustered and make impulsive decisions. Take a deep breath, calm down, and see the situation clearly.
Act on the plan
Set your buying and selling goals in advance, don't chase the rise and fall. Self-discipline is the king.
Let go when it's time to let go
When the market is chaotic, it's good to take a break. Sometimes, the smartest thing to do is to turn off the computer and get back on track.
Change your mindset to win
The market likes everyone to follow their feelings. To stay one step ahead:
