Why is nobody talking about how retail traders consistently destroy their accounts by buying the exact top of local breakouts? We have all been there, watching a token pump in a day, feeling the intense FOMO, and buying in only to watch it immediately dump. It is the easiest way to turn a profitable month into a rescue mission.
Look at the recent price action on $SOL. The asset extended more than 15% from its consolidation base in less than 48 hours, triggering massive retail buying volume. The mainstream narrative was screaming for a continuation, but chasing a move that far from the base is statistically a losing game.
Instead of FOMOing into green candles, patient traders wait for a controlled retest of the breakout level or clear bullish confirmation. When $BTC ran hard last week, the smart money did not chase the peak. They waited for the inevitable cooling-off period to bid the support retest, securing a much better risk-to-reward ratio.
How do you manage your entries when a major token starts running without you?
