Why Does the Market Rise After You Sell & Crash After You Buy (The Brutal Truth They Don't Teach You)

🚨 Have you ever seen the market surge right after you sell, and then plummet right after you buy? You are not alone—and here’s why this happens to most people: Familiar Market Cycle When you sell: The price has been stagnant for too long, you get discouraged and sell → immediately after, the price rises sharply. When you hold: Determined to be patient → the market is sluggish again, neither profit nor loss. When you buy: Seeing the price soaring, afraid of missing the opportunity, you FOMO into buying → the price immediately reverses. Doesn't this feeling seem too familiar? The Truth Behind the Psychological Trap

1. Trade based on emotions FOMO: Buy out of fear of missing the opportunity. Panic: Sell when the market is in a bull run. 👉 The market often exploits emotions, not logic.
2. Cognitive Bias Recency Bias: Thinking that recent trends will continue. Loss Aversion: Disliking small losses more than missing out on large gains. Herd Mentality: Following the crowd, often arriving late.
3. The "Smart Money" Trap Every buy order has a seller, and vice versa. Whales wait for retail traders to create liquidity, then reverse the trend.
4. Time Misalignment The market never operates on your schedule. Real growth happens when the majority... has given up. The Ruthless Cycle of the Market Smart Money buys the dip — Retail is still fearful. Prices gradually rise — Retail remains skeptical. FOMO appears — Retail buys at the peak. Smart Money takes profit — Retail is stuck in positions. The market corrects — Retail panics and sells off. Smart Money accumulates — The cycle repeats. How to Escape the Trap ✅ Have a clear plan before entering an order. ✅ Set target & stop-loss to protect capital. ✅ Avoid FOMO: Don't buy at the end of a green candle, wait for a pullback. ✅ Use data, not emotions: Make decisions based on analysis. ✅ Patience: A patient person always wins over an impatient one. 💡 As Warren Buffett once said: "The market is a machine that transfers money from the impatient to the patient." 👉 If you find yourself in this situation: 🔄 Share to remind others. 💬 Comment "That's me" if you feel too familiar. 🔖 Save this to remember well before entering the next order.
