Why do people insist on selling out of fear? Here’s what’s really happening

Many are currently selling their cryptocurrencies simply because they see red candles on the charts. Ask them why, and most will say: "Prices are dropping - I had to sell." But the truth is that many do not understand the bigger picture - they are reacting out of fear, not logic.

Global tensions and geopolitical conflicts (such as those involving Iran, Lebanon, Israel, Pakistan, and India) are making headlines and shaking confidence. This fear spreads quickly - especially among small investors - leading to panic selling.

But here’s what many don’t realize: large investors (the "whales") often sell strategically. They create a drop in prices, watch the panic unfold, and then scoop up coins again at lower prices. It’s a game - and they play it expertly.

Unfortunately, small traders lose their money early. They sell at the lowest price while the whales are buying back the coins. And when the market recovers, they are left as spectators from afar.

The truth? Corrections are normal. They do not mean the end - many assets are still on the brink of reaching their all-time highs.

So, don’t let fear sweep you away. Stay calm. Stick to your strategy. Often, the biggest gains follow the scariest moments.
