This is not about going all-in, but a reminder: The real trading opportunities are always born when emotions are at their worst. 2.

Instead: Raising lows and not breaking previous lows during pullbacks, each rise is accompanied by doubt, each pullback washes out a group of people. You will keep hearing: "This is just a rebound," "Wait for the pullback to buy again," "Feels like there's still a chance." But the market's best trick is: 👉 When you're hesitating, quietly raising the price. When you finally confirm that "the trend is established," you will realize
