Hi everyone!
Today I want to talk about overconfidence bias. This bias occurs when we believe we have more ability than the average person to make trades.
We mustn't forget that we're not alone in the market. There are other people buying and selling cryptocurrencies. These people may be smarter than we are.
When we fall victim to this bias, we consider our market predictions to be more accurate than they actually are, and this leads to losses.
An example of this is thinking that Ethereum will definitely reach $10,000 by the end of the year.
This bias appears in cryptocurrencies because the market is very volatile and there's a lot of superficial information. Added to this is the news about successful traders—those who only show their profits and not their losses.
To avoid falling into this bias, it's important to think in terms of probabilities, not certainties.
I wish you all a great week.
