Many traders are still waiting on the sidelines, saving their chips for the right moment. But here's what typically happens when the market catches fire—everyone suddenly wants in.
Once you're back from vacation or checking charts again, FOMO kicks in hard. The pump is already rolling, so you chase it. You end up buying near the peak, chasing that quick gain fantasy. That's exactly when BTC tends to pull back and shake out the weak hands.
The pattern repeats every cycle. The desperation to catch the move leads you straight into the trap.
Bottom line? Don't let FOMO dictate your entries. Stick to your strategy, wait for proper setups, and remember—the money isn't made by chasing pumps. It's made by having the discipline to sit tight and enter when others are uncertain.

To be honest, I've seen this trick too many times, and someone always falls for it. The ones who truly make money are those who can hold on.

I've already said that we need to maintain our mindset during this wave. Those still chasing highs are just paying tuition fees. I explained this logic in detail in my course two years ago.

It's really too difficult, always buying in at the high points...

It's always like this. As soon as I see the rocket take off, I can't hold back my finger, and end up buying at the top and getting trapped...
Honestly, FOMO is just a dopamine trap; you need discipline to avoid it.
Wait, isn't this the lesson I learned last time? Can I make the same mistake again?
Really, sticking to the strategy is more profitable than chasing the highs. I need to hold back this time.
Why does this dead cycle repeat every cycle? I just can't learn.
It's really about staying calmer than others. When everyone is anxious, that's actually an opportunity.
If I don't chase, I won't chase. Anyway, that's how the chives are harvested.
I've decided this time to wait for confirmed signals before entering, so I won't be the main force handing over the chips.
When others panic, I should be loading supplies; only then can I truly launch.
Every time I say I need discipline, but I still fall for FOMO and enter the market... It's about time to get serious.

That's right, it's always like this... My friend just missed a week's market trend, and when he came back, he chased the high out of FOMO and entered the market, only to get trapped. You really have to hold back.
