Everyone thinks buying a breakout means guaranteed profit, but actually, it is often the quickest way to end up holding someone else's heavy bag.

Most retail traders lose money not because their technical indicators failed, but because FOMO pushes them to blindly trust signal groups and buy the exact moment smart money decides to exit.

Trading on blind hype without a clear strategy is like buying an umbrella at triple the price right when the storm is already clearing up. When $XRP spiked above $1.51 last night before cooling off to just +0.36%, hundreds of eager buyers jumped in at the peak, instantly getting trapped the moment liquidity dried up.

Market makers rely on retail impatience to fill their sell orders, which is why chasing vertical candles on assets like $BTC or $ETH without waiting for a retest rarely ends well. If you do not calculate your risk and know your exact exit before placing an order, you are simply handing your capital to someone who did.

Were you caught in that push above $1.51, or did you wait for confirmation?
