🧠 PSYCHOLOGY #11: CONFIRMATION BIAS - THE SILENT ERROR
You have already decided: "BTC will rise"
Then you:
✅ Read ONLY bullish analyses
✅ Ignore bearish signals
✅ Interpret EVERYTHING as confirmation
"See? This candle confirms my thesis!"
(But it was a neutral candle)
📉 THE PROBLEM:
Your brain SEEKS what confirms your belief.
Ignores what contradicts.
Result: You hold a losing position because "it will come back".
🔬 STUDY:
76% of traders cherry-pick data that confirms prior bias.
Only 12% actively seek counterpoints.
💡 THE TEST:
Before entering a trade, FORCE YOURSELF to list:
• 3 reasons to RISE
• 3 reasons to FALL
If you can ONLY list reasons on one side?
Confirmation bias is blinding you.
Do you do this? Or do you enter "on faith"?
