Funny how it works in markets—once someone decides to exit, suddenly all the reasons to sell just materialise. Conviction flips, and suddenly every red candle looks like a sign, every negative headline feels personal. That's just the psychology of trading at play.

When your mindset collapses, everything becomes a signal. This is the most frustrating part of trading.

Once you start doubting yourself, it's over. Mental preparation is more important than technical analysis.

The psychological effect is really incredible. Once you want to run, it's all bearish news. This is just a trick our brain plays, right?

When it rebounds, it's time to run. I've seen this psychological trick too many times. Every time, someone asks where the bottom is, and I just want to say—there's always a lower point.

The psychological effect is really incredible. Once you want to exit, you start looking for reasons to get off, and even a red K can be seen as a "cosmic signal."

It's just a psychological game. Once you start thinking about running, there are all kinds of reasons. Suddenly, all the red K-lines become signals, and negative news seems to be coming at you. This is human nature, really quite magical.
