Let’s be honest: in the crazy world of crypto, it’s easy to get caught up in the hype and even easier to panic when the market dips. I’ve seen countless friends (and myself!) make these avoidable errors, especially as we head deeper into 2026.
If you want to move from stressing over red candles to confidently building your portfolio, you MUST avoid these 3 common mistakes:
Mistake #1: Chasing Green Candles (FOMO Trading) You see a coin pump 50% in an hour, and suddenly you feel that urge to jump in. By the time you buy, the whales are already taking profits. This is how many new traders lose big.
My Tip: Always do your research. If you missed the initial pump, there will always be another opportunity. Patience is key!
Mistake #2: Selling During Panic Dips (Selling the Bottom)
The market is red, everyone on Twitter is screaming about a crash, and you sell your holdings at a loss to stop the bleeding. Only to watch it recover days later.
My Tip: Develop a clear strategy before you invest. What’s your exit point? What’s your holding period? Stick to your plan and avoid emotional selling.
Mistake #3: Ignoring Diversification (All-In on One Coin)
Putting all your capital into a single altcoin, hoping for 100x gains, is incredibly risky. While it can pay off, it’s far more likely to wipe out your portfolio.
My Tip: Diversify! Spread your investments across 3-5 solid projects. Include some stablecoins or even Bitcoin/Ethereum to balance risk.
The crypto journey isn't just about picking the right coin; it's about mastering your emotions and sticking to a disciplined strategy. Don't let fear or greed dictate your financial future.
