🤟 The emotional trap of the bull cycle
Early in my trading career, I learned this the hard way: Bear markets teach discipline and sharpen your skills — and you wait for the bull run to finally unlock your potential.
Then the bull run begins. But instead of catching those X’s, you get hit with FOMO, tilt, and liquidation.
Why? Because bull markets trigger comparison! 🚫
In calmer phases, it’s not that obvious. But when everything is pumping, you start seeing screenshots, crazy profits, 10x overnight gains — and suddenly you feel like everyone’s making millions… except you.
And that’s where the trap is! You stop following your system. You rush trades, ignore risk management, jump into every candle — trying to «catch up», «not miss out», or «finally score big».
And what do you get? A liquidation on the top and that classic confusion: «Why was I winning during sideways markets, but losing during a pump?».
🤔Simple answer:
• Stick to your system, even if BTC hits $1M.
• Stop comparing yourself to others. Not to traders, not to screenshots, not to numbers.
There’s only you and your trading process. Everything else is just noise.
