Green candles make people stupid.
Not because they're dumb — FOMO literally shuts off the part of your brain that asks why.
Most skip this: markets don't move in straight lines. They move in cycles.
Rally → correction → consolidation → next leg.
Every explosive move you're seeing sits inside that cycle. If you don't know where, you're not trading — you're gambling.
Quick framework before you ape:
→ Rally ≠ trend confirmation. A 15% pump can be a breakout or a bull trap. Chart looks identical until it doesn't.
→ Volatility is the price of upside. You can't get green candles without red ones. Anyone selling you risk-free momentum is selling you a story.
→ Corrections aren't failures. They're repricing risk. Healthy markets correct. Broken ones don't.
Ask yourself: Do I understand why this is moving? Would I still enter if it dropped 10% tomorrow?
If no — you weren't ready for the trade. You were ready for the feeling of not missing out.
DYOR isn't a disclaimer.
It's the whole job.
