$BTC Why were you willing to go all in at $85,000, but too scared at $68,000?
People aren’t trading prices—they’re trading their emotions.
At $85,000, you dared to go aggressively long because profits seemed within reach. Rising candlesticks triggered a dopamine rush in your brain, temporarily suppressing fear. “If I don’t get in now, it’ll be too late” became the dominant thought. Your risk tolerance was artificially inflated—at that moment, the pain of missing out outweighed the pain of losing.
When the price fell to $68,000, unrealized losses appeared, and your brain immediately switched modes. The amygdala took over, amplifying loss aversion.
You started asking yourself over and over: “Will it keep falling? Will it break support? Maybe I should wait.” You weren’t being more rational; the pain of losing simply outweighed the pain of missing out, so you chose to avoid taking action.
When prices rise, you think, “I have to get in,” and emotions drive your decisions.
When you’re losing, you think, “I can’t take any more losses,” and fear keeps you frozen.
The result: you’re most aggressive at the top and most cautious at the bottom. This is why so many people lose money!
The people who truly stand apart are those who can behave relatively consistently despite these two kinds of pain. They understand:
• Going long at $85,000 may be driven by greed;
• Being afraid to go long at $68,000 may be driven by fear.
Neither action is based on a plan; both are driven by emotion.
Are your actions right now guided by a plan, or are you just trying to escape how you feel in the moment?
