**Why Does the Coin Turn Red Right After I Buy It?**

Every new trader asks this at some point: *"Why does a coin drop right after I buy it, even though it was just pumping?"* The blunt truth? It’s not the coin’s fault—it’s yours. Here’s why.

Profit or loss hinges on multiple factors, and once you enter a trade (setting luck aside), your decisions dictate the outcome. Too often, beginners chase the top gainers, throwing money at whatever has already peaked in the last 24 hours. But what if that peak was yesterday? That’s a fast track to getting burned.

Sure, sometimes a coin keeps climbing—but unless you’ve done proper technical analysis and trust the setup, that’s just luck. Without it, losses are almost guaranteed.

At that point, there are no excuses. You chose to FOMO into a heavily green chart without real analysis. If you don’t understand technicals, follow this basic rule: avoid the top gainers *and* the top losers. But never invest blindly—whether through charting or fundamentals, research is non-negotiable.

Easy money disappears fast. The trades that last are the ones you work for.
