Ever notice how the worst trades follow the same pattern?
The FOMO Trap: Prices surge, your phone blows up, everyone’s celebrating. Suddenly you’re convinced you’re missing out. So you YOLO in at the top. You buy high. 📈
The Panic Exit: Then comes the correction. A 5% dip feels like the apocalypse. Your conviction crumbles. Heart racing, hands shaking… you panic sell. You dump at the bottom. 📉
The Salt Moment: Two weeks later, the asset rockets. You watch from the sidelines, kicking yourself. It could’ve been yours.
Sound familiar? That’s not trading—that’s emotional roulette. And the market loves punishing it.
Here’s the real talk: This “buy high, sell low meme” isn’t just funny because it’s relatable. It’s a warning label.
What actually works instead:
Have a written entry and exit strategy before you buy anything
Set stop losses to manage fear
Ignore the noise. Seriously. Mute the group chats.
Remember: patience wins. Impatience loses. Every single time.
The market doesn’t care about your emotions. It only rewards discipline.
So next time FOMO whispers in your ear—remember this moment. Remember watching others moon without you.
