Why do you always buy at the peak and sell at the bottom? Today, we'll analyze from psychology and on-chain behavior why you always buy high and sell low.
In the crypto world, there are no eternal peaks, only eternal bag holders.

Many people feel they are unlucky:

Prices drop as soon as you buy, and rise as soon as you sell.

Missing out on bull markets every year, but catching every crash.

But the truth is: this is not luck, it's human nature.

1. Emotions dominate trading, data becomes a mere companion.

In the crypto world, emotions always come first, and logic lags behind.

When you see FOMO in booming news,

When you see 'last chance to get on board' in KOL's shout-outs,

You think you are making rational decisions, but in reality, you are just afraid of missing out.

The more it rises, the more you want to rush in; the harder it falls, the more you want to run.

This is not 'bad luck'; it is you being manipulated by market emotions.



2. Information reception is always delayed.


When you see KOL shouting: 'Charge, charge, charge!', the big players on-chain are already withdrawing.

On-chain can be seen in real-time:

  • When KOL is leading the trades, whales are doing counter-trading and unloading at high points.

  • When the coin price breaks through historical highs, liquidity providers are already frantically withdrawing.

Newcomers in the crypto world use social information,

Veteran players use on-chain data.

3. Human nature hates losses, leading to missing out on profits.

Have you noticed?

You are more likely to cut losses at a 10% drop than take profits at a 10% gain.

Why? Because the pain of loss comes much faster than the joy of profit.

This is called loss aversion bias in psychology.

Thus, most people in the crypto world like to lock in their losses, leaving themselves the opportunity to continue being 'cut'.

4. You actually don't have a trading system.


Most people in the crypto world rely on their feelings.

Feeling like it's at the bottom, feeling like it's breaking out, feeling like others are about to rush in.

But did you write down in advance:

  • What is your buying logic?

  • Where do you set your stop loss?

  • At what profit expectation do you exit?
    (And I must remind you, when trading contracts, always set a stop-loss, do not hold onto losing positions, and have your own bottom line when trading.)

If you don't have a system, the market will repeatedly teach you a lesson.

5. The on-chain data has actually long told you the answer.

You think buying at the peak and selling at the bottom is accidental.

But the on-chain data has long been available:

  • The historical trajectory of whales entering and exiting the market.

  • The timing of large liquidity withdrawal orders.

  • Announcements of staking unlocks and selling pressure points.

    (When dealing with this coin, you must know why you are doing it. Pay attention to the staking unlock and airdrop release news.)

The problem is not that there is no data on-chain,

The problem is that you haven't looked at it at all.

Buying at the peak and selling at the bottom is not fate, it's a habit.

What can defeat you is never the project team, but yourself.

✅ Emotions cannot be controlled

✅ Information is always delayed

✅ No trading system

✅ On-chain data is ignored

If you can't even do these well, don't blame the crypto world for your losses.
