In an uptrend season, everyone makes money – but how many can keep their money?
It sounds easy, looking at charts it seems green, the mentality is excited – but in this season, many people are free-falling while the market is still rising. Why?
1. Extreme FOMO – chasing trends regardless
Any trend wants to be followed, any coin that pumps wants to be chased. But chasing too many things, in the end, you can't hold onto anything.
2. Fear of missing out – using excessive leverage
Seeing others x10 their accounts, you think you are falling behind. The result: opening margin, cross leverage, then 'liquidation in series'.
3. Inconsistency – choosing coins based on feelings
As soon as you see a coin rise, you jump in; seeing a coin correct makes you scared, leading to losses. No plan, no conviction, only... emotions.
4. Every correction wave is a psychological trap
A 20% correction is normal, but the market will correct in 5-6 waves like that during an uptrend. If you’re not strong enough, you will sell at the bottom and watch coins fly away while regretting.
5. The ghosts of the past – self-destructing by taking premature profits
You have lost a lot in the bear market. Now, every time you make a little profit, you cash out. And then you stand outside watching others get rich.
6. The 'gambler' mentality – borrowing to get rich quickly
You are not investing; you are gambling. Borrowing money, going all-in, relying on luck. And when the market doesn't go as hoped, you lose both capital and faith.
7. Chasing KOLs – buying in haste, cutting losses
They post when they have finished buying. You chase after the market has risen. They take profits, you chase, they pump, you hold losses. Don't trust anyone or if you do, invest a small amount and preferably follow your vision, not the hype.
8. Lack of knowledge – being led into scam projects
Not doing your own research, just listening to rumors. Then coins scam, developers dump, projects die. Accounts lost, trust dwindles.
🎯 Simple but hard advice:
> Buy when it's red, sell when it's green. Hold good coins safely, turn off the app, set alerts, and continue living your life.
The uptrend season is a time of differentiation:
Those who know how to take care of themselves will accumulate wealth.
Those who let emotions guide them will be liquidity for others.
Be a survivor – not just someone lucky.
