Many friends who are just starting to trade will encounter a 'curse': as soon as they buy, the price starts to drop, even if it was up before.
You might think it's bad luck or that the market is targeting you. But the reality is: this coin isn't to blame; the problem may lie with you.
Buying leads to a drop is really not the coin's issue.
The outcome of trading depends on many factors, but the most critical is your own actions. From the moment you place an order, you have already determined the direction of this trade—especially if you haven’t done any analysis or looked at trends.
Many beginners like to chase the rise; when they see a coin ranking high on the price increase list, they rush in. But by the time you buy, the market may already be at a high point, and the subsequent trend is likely to fall.
Worse yet, some people don't look at charts or study the fundamentals when they buy; they just act on feelings or follow the crowd. In such cases, losses are almost a certainty.
Why does it always feel like you are 'caught' at the peak?
Sometimes you may indeed encounter a situation where the coin keeps rising, but that is more about good luck than truly mastering the rhythm. If you haven't done technical analysis or have a clear entry logic, even making money will be temporary.
Those who can achieve long-term stable profits are the ones who trade with plans and strategies. They won't blindly chase highs or randomly buy coins that have just reached new highs.
A simple piece of advice for beginners:
If you have not mastered technical analysis, remember this: avoid the coins with the largest increases and the steepest declines.
Don't be envious just because something has risen a lot, and don't think a drop means it's a buying opportunity. Real trading requires patience and judgment.
If you want to avoid pitfalls, spend more time understanding the coins you want to buy—check if their trading volume has unusual fluctuations, whether the trend has formed support or resistance, and even understand the project background. All of this is more meaningful than blindly entering the market.
One last reminder:
Don't expect to easily make quick money; those seemingly 'guaranteed' opportunities often come quickly and leave even faster. The more serious you are about trading, the better your chances of surviving; the more anxious you are, the easier it is to be eliminated by the market.
So, stop blaming the market; first, ask yourself if you are ready?
