Why is the bull market retracement more painful? Because gaining and losing is the most difficult!

Many people always feel more uncomfortable when they encounter a decline in the bull market than in the bear market. In fact, it is human nature that is at work.

In the bull market, we often have accumulated a lot of profits. When the market retreats, these profits that have already been in hand suddenly shrink, as if the meat in our mouths has been snatched away again. The psychological gap will make people extremely anxious. In contrast, the decline in the bear market makes people feel calm and indifferent, or even indifferent, because in the bear market, most people have long lost hope in the market, and the numbers in the account themselves have not changed much.

A major feature of human nature is that the emotional reaction to "gaining and losing" is much stronger than simply "gaining". When you see your assets increase in value, but shrink in a short period of time, the sense of loss is often more profound than the joy of the initial profit. This kind of emotional fluctuation is why the decline in the bull market always makes people feel more painful.

Therefore, it is particularly important to keep a calm mind in the market, especially in the bull market. When profits are withdrawn, remind yourself that the market will always fluctuate. Only by learning to accept short-term ups and downs can you go further.
