One of the most common questions that new market participants often ask is: 'Why is the coin red right after I buy it, even though it was green before?'

The simple answer: the fault is yours, not the coin's.

Why is that?

When you decide to buy a coin, the outcome of profit or loss is largely determined at that moment, if we exclude the luck factor and only consider the technical aspects.

Many new investors jump onto the top gainers, especially in the last 24 hours. They see the coin rising, think it will continue to rise, and rush in. But what is the reality? If the peak was formed earlier—even just a few hours—you may have bought at the top.

The consequence? The coin reverses, going from green to red. And you start incurring losses right after entering the trade.

Sometimes you may make a profit – but that is due to luck.

There may be times when you enter at the right moment and the coin continues to soar. But if you do not have clear technical analysis, a specific entry and exit plan, then making a profit is just luck, not skill. And luck will not last.

So how to avoid losses?

  • Don't buy when the coin is rising too sharply without understanding the reason behind that increase.

  • If you don't know technical analysis, apply a simple principle:

    → Stay away from coins that are in the top gainers or top losers in the last 24 hours.

  • Instead, choose coins that are accumulating, moving sideways, or showing signs of bottoming out—and study them thoroughly (through technical or fundamental analysis).

  • Absolutely do not invest based on emotions or chase the 'wave' without understanding its nature.

Conclusion

There is no easy money in this market. Easy profits often evaporate within minutes.

To survive in the long run, you must practice, analyze, be patient, and manage risk.

Trading is not easy. But disciplined trading leads to sustainable results.
