Why do market participants frequently misinterpret a test of daily price extremes as an entry signal rather than a boundary check?

When an asset approaches its session ceiling—such as Bitcoin currently trading at $84,680.57 near its 24-hour high of $84,898.00—chasing momentum without a defined invalidation point severely compresses the risk-reward ratio. Emotional FOMO often causes traders to ignore the broader session low of $82,393.77, treating proximity to a peak as structural confirmation of continuation rather than a potential zone of exhaustion.

A disciplined risk framework dictates sizing positions and setting stops according to measured volatility boundaries rather than chasing raw price milestones.
