“Chasing the rise and killing the fall” is a common but high-risk investment behavior pattern, meaning the following:

📈 Chasing the rise

Refers to buying when the price of an asset rises, fearing to miss out.

For example: As soon as Bitcoin breaks $70,000, one immediately buys in.

👉 The essence is “buying only after it has risen,” which makes it easy to buy at a high price.

📉 Killing the fall

When the price starts to drop, investors see their accounts in loss, feel panic, and hurriedly sell to cut losses.

For example: Bitcoin drops from $70,000 to $63,000, fearing further decline, thus selling off.

👉 The essence is “selling only after it has fallen,” which makes it easy to sell at a low price.

⚠️ The result of “chasing the rise and killing the fall”:

It is easy to buy at high points and sell at low points, buying high and selling low.

Being led by market emotions, losing rational judgment.

Over the long term, it is easy to incur losses.

✅ Countermeasure recommendations:

Set a clear buying logic and profit-taking and stop-loss strategies.

Do not blindly chase hot spots; try to buy low and sell high.

Control emotions to avoid being swayed by market fluctuations.

If you are a cryptocurrency investor, this impulse of “chasing the rise and killing the fall” is particularly something to be cautious about, as cryptocurrency prices are highly volatile and FOMO emotions are stronger.
