Letting news influence their decisions

Being swayed by opinions on social media

Allowing emotions to cloud judgment

Making trades based purely on "feelings"

What most people fail to understand is that the market is essentially a financial paradox designed to exploit human emotion. It thrives on fear, greed, impatience, and uncertainty. That’s why impulsive rallies and sharp sell offs catch the majority off guard, EVEN though the structure often made the move obvious in hindsight.

The market doesn’t move randomly. It moves in stages, in waves, and each phase carries a psychological component. Every cycle tells a story. When you learn to read that story, price action becomes less chaotic and more like a puzzle revealing itself over time.

If you want to catch major moves before the crowd, you have to see the market differently than the crowd. Your perspective has to be so detached from emotion that others doubt your thesis, right up until price proves it correct.

At the end of the day, sentiment is everything. Since creating my X and putting my predictions out publicly, it’s only reinforced my trading theses because I can feel the disagreement. That friction is often the clearest signal.

I don’t flip flop. I say what I believe, and I stand by it. What most people don’t realize is that the majority of accounts on here aren’t actually bullish or bearish at all. They have no real conviction. They’re just posting for engagement, reacting to whatever narrative is trending in the moment.

That’s why you constantly hear people say "everyone’s bullish" or "everyone’s bearish," when in reality that’s rarely true. What you’re usually seeing is noise, not positioning in the market. Silent participation which is irrelevant in the order books.

Real opportunity shows up at emotional extremes, peak despair and peak euphoria. You only develop this perspective after spending years staring at charts for 10+ hours a day.

Those moments are uncomfortable, counterintuitive, and easy to dismiss, which is exactly why they matter. If you can learn to identify sentiment shifts instead of chasing narratives, you stop reacting to the market and start anticipating it.
