The fear when the market is in an uptrend is very common,
⸻
🧠 1. Fear of buying at the peak
• You see the price has risen sharply, and worry that if you buy now, it will crash right after.
• The familiar question: “Is it too late to get in?”
👉 This is the mindset of “controlled FOMO” – wanting to enter but afraid of timing it wrong.
⸻
📉 2. Traumatic experiences from previous crashes
• You once “chased the peak” in the past, leading to heavy losses, so you are haunted when you see the price rise.
• Your brain automatically associates rising prices with potential danger.
⸻
💸 3. Uncertainty about your own analysis
• You might not have enough knowledge, or you don’t trust your own trading system.
• This makes you feel out of control when the market moves strongly.
⸻
💥 4. Social pressure – everyone is making money
• When everyone claims they are “x10-ing their accounts,” you feel left behind and fear making the wrong decision.
• This mentality can easily lead you to act hastily or not act at all.
⸻
🧩 5. Lack of a clear trading plan
• If you don’t determine your entry point – take profit point – stop loss point in advance, then any market fluctuation will stress you out.
• People without a plan feel pressure from every wave.
⸻
👉 How to overcome:
1. Have a clear strategy: Enter trades according to the system, not based on emotions.
2. Manage capital well: Accept small risks, don’t go “all-in.”
3. Trading journal: Record your emotions for each trade to understand yourself better.
4. Focus on the process, not immediate results.
