📚 Educational Series | 3 mistakes beginners are most likely to make when election news shakes the market
The market has recently been a live lesson: As results from the U.S. midterm elections came in, $BTC surged intraday before pulling back, then returned to around $78,267, up about 1.7% over 24 hours; $ETH was around $2,322, up about 2.7% over 24 hours. Binance Coin and Solana also edged higher, but sentiment remained cautious throughout the day, with the Fear & Greed Index still on the fear side.
Chasing rallies and selling off as soon as news breaks is one of the most common ways beginners lose money. Here’s a three-step self-check:
1️⃣ Look at the trend, not the headline: A single news-driven candle doesn’t change the trend. First ask yourself whether this rally has held above a key level—not whether the news sounds good.
2️⃣ Set your position size before deciding on direction: When volatility rises, automatically cut your position size in half. Keep each trade’s potential loss within an amount you can live with.
3️⃣ Write your plan before placing an order: Write down your entry rationale, stop-loss level, and take-profit target before acting. Changing your plan on the fly is the same as having no plan.
Remember: News-driven moves come and go quickly. The people who actually make money are often not the fastest to react, but those who make the fewest mistakes.
