Are you blindly following the crowd? Well, Iāve got news for you: 94% of traders lose money, and they all have one thing in commonāthey think like sheep. š
The Herd Mentality: Your Ticket to Poverty
Letās be brutally honest. The market is designed to trick you. It whispers, "Buy now, everyone is doing it," when you should be selling. Or it screams, "Sell! Panic! Save yourself!" when you should be buying. Thatās herd mentality. š§ š„
You know what the 94% crowd does?
They chase pumps. š By the time theyāre buying, the price is already peaking. Guess who sells to them? The smart 5%.
They panic sell during dips. š Like lemmings off a cliff, they offload perfectly good assets at rock-bottom prices⦠to the smart 5%.
They rely on āhot tipsā and news hype. Yeah, those āinsider secretsā you got from Twitter? Everyone else read them too.
> Herd mentality is emotional trading at its finestāand its most devastating.
The 5%: Why Theyāre Rich and Youāre Not š°
Hereās the truth no one wants to tell you:
š¹ The 5% traders donāt follow the herd; they outsmart it.
š¹ They see fear in the crowd and buy.
š¹ They see greed and euphoria in the crowd and sell.
While you're shouting, āTO THE MOON š,ā theyāre quietly taking profits. When youāre crying, āItās all over š,ā theyāre loading up their wallets.
The Crowd Psychology Death Spiral š
The market manipulates you using crowd psychology:
False Breakouts: The price looks like itās skyrocketing⦠until it dumps. š
Stop-Loss Hunting: The āsmart moneyā knows where the herdās stop-loss orders are. They force a drop to grab your liquidity and run away with it. šāāļøšø
