Why does the market drop after I buy? And rise after I sell?

Have you ever felt that the market is against you? You buy a cryptocurrency and the price drops immediately, then you sell it at a loss... and suddenly the price starts to rise! This feeling is very common among traders, especially in their early days, and there are logical and psychological reasons for it.

First, the most important reason is emotional trading. Many people buy during a rise out of fear of missing out (FOMO) and sell during a drop out of panic. This means they enter late and exit at the worst time.

Second, the absence of a clear trading plan makes decisions random. A successful trader does not rely on intuition but on a strategy that includes: when to enter? When to exit? How much to risk? And when to stop?

Third, psychological bias plays a role. You notice losses more than gains, and you remember the opportunities you missed more than the successes you achieved. This is human nature, but it's dangerous in trading.

So, what’s the solution?

✍️ Create a clear trading plan and stick to it.

⌛ Use a dollar-cost averaging (DCA) approach instead of going all in at once.

🧠 Train yourself to control your emotions and do not make decisions under the pressure of fear or greed.

📓 Record every trade: Why did you enter? What was the result? You will learn a lot from reviewing your mistakes.

📊 Learn technical analysis or follow trusted analysts instead of following rumors.

Make every trade a learning experience, and remember: loss is part of the journey, and discipline is the key to success.
