Cryptocurrencies: the illusion of the rise and the mistakes that drive away new investors

Many people who enter the world of cryptocurrencies do so driven by the excitement of seeing quick profits. This usually happens when prices are already on the rise, with the market heated and many commenting on significant gains. It is in this scenario that many newcomers make their first mistake: buying at the peak, when the coins have already appreciated considerably.

The problem is that, shortly after these highs, the market tends to undergo corrections. More experienced investors take the opportunity to realize profits, that is, they sell part of their positions, causing the price to drop. For those who have just entered, this is frustrating. The coin falls, the novice investor sees their capital decrease and, without understanding the natural behavior of the market, panics and sells at a loss. This creates a bad impression: "crypto is no good", "it's only good for losing money".

In fact, the mistake lies in the way of investing. Many do not know how to wait for a good correction, do not understand the concepts of support, resistance, and moving averages. They end up buying only because they saw the chart rise, without any strategy or patience. Buying near the moving averages with confirmation of a return to an uptrend tends to be safer than entering just because "it's going up". Lack of preparation and anxiety leads to frustration.

Investing in cryptocurrencies requires study, discipline, and, above all, patience. The market is volatile and, for that reason, offers opportunities – but also risks. Those who learn to wait, study the chart, and understand the right moments to enter and exit build a more mature relationship with investments.

It's not about luck. It's about strategy and time.
