Such a chart pattern is indeed rare. What makes it fortunate is that it gives you a perfect entry point—daring to build a position before a continuous rise, giving yourself the chance to catch that wave of the market. What is not guaranteed is that even if you enter the market, it may not continue to hit daily limits as expected.

In the crypto trading world, there is a very painful phenomenon: the higher the price goes, the greater the risk; the lower the price drops, the smaller the risk. But the real paradox is, why do we tend to buy when the price breaks upward? Why do we rush to stop-loss and exit during a decline? This question seems simple, but in fact, it hides all the psychological dilemmas that traders need to solve.

If you can understand the essence of this question and find your own answer, success is basically within reach. This is not a technical issue, but an upgrade in trading cognition.

ngl the psychological flip here is actually the hard part—technically speaking, everyone knows dips = lower risk entry but we're all wired backwards lmao. the "perfect buy signal" narrative is just cope until you actually internalize why you panic sell at -20%. that's not a charting problem, that's a you problem

Well said, this is a typical psychological game in the mempool. Basically, it's an endless cycle of FOMO and panic. It may look like technical analysis, but it's actually betting on human vulnerabilities. Stop-loss exits during a decline? That's the herd effect before a sandwich attack.

That's right, but the hardest part is maintaining the right mindset. When prices fall, we get scared and panic; when they rise, we get FOMO and rush in, only to get cut repeatedly.

lol the irony is most people *know* the answer to this paradox but still panic sell at -20%... actually that's not irony, that's just predictable human behavior tbh

hypothesis: the paradox you're describing basically mirrors the byzantine generals problem but applied to our own psychology—we're all trying to reach consensus with our fear instincts, and tbh the real oracle here isn't the chart, it's recognizing when we're being manipulated by fomo vs actual signal.
