Have you ever felt that the CRYPTO market plays with your emotions? One day you're euphoric watching your cryptocurrency investments rise, and the next you feel panic as everything crashes. 🎢 You're not crazy, you're experiencing the "Psychological Market Cycle"! Understanding these phases is CRUCIAL for investing and not losing money.
THE PROBLEM: Most beginners (and not-so-beginners) buy during euphoria (the peak) and sell during panic (the bottom), doing exactly the opposite of what they should!
THE 14 PHASES OF THE CYCLE (Identify where you are and WIN):
This cycle describes how investors feel as the crypto market moves:
(Imagine a graph that rises and then falls, and these phases are located along the curve)
Bullish Phase (Market Uptrend):
Hope: "This crypto project has potential, it could go up..." (Time to consider buying).
Optimism: "It's going up! My analysis was correct."
Belief: "I'm going to invest more money. This is for the long term."
Excitement: "Look at my profits! I'm a genius in altcoin trading."
EUPHORIA: "To the moon! 🚀 I'm going to be a millionaire! I'm going to buy more cryptocurrencies!" (MAXIMUM RISK! Time to take profits).
Bearish Phase (Market Downtrend):
Complacency: "A small correction in my investments. Necessary."
Anxiety: "Why isn't it going up? I should have sold some of my portfolio..."
Denial: "It will go up again. My investment in this cryptocurrency is solid."
FEAR: "This looks bad. My profits are vanishing." 😨
Desperation: "I have to sell part of my crypto assets to save something!"
PANIC: "I’m selling EVERYTHING! I need to get out of the market NOW!" (Here many sell at massive losses).
CAPITULATION: "I can't take it anymore. I sold everything. The crypto world is a scam."
Disillusionment/Depression: "I'm an idiot. Never again with cryptocurrencies." (MAXIMUM BUYING OPPORTUNITY for those brave enough to understand the strategy and volatility).
Hope (again): "Hmm, maybe the market has hit bottom. It could be an opportunity to buy Bitcoin or that altcoin..." And the cycle restarts.
THE WINNING STRATEGY:
BUY when most are in Disillusionment/Depression/Early Hope. It's when cryptocurrency prices are low.
SELL (Take Profits) when most are in Excitement/EUPHORIA. It's when the investment has matured.
