The Fear of the Rise
$BTC broke through the 80,000 USD barrier just a few days ago, the same barrier it smashed at the end of 2024,
consolidating a price that everyone thought would keep climbing for the rest of the year.
However, at the beginning of this year #2026, fear took hold of the public due to rising political tensions around the globe.
I’m not here to discuss that, implicitly, nor the impact it had on the asset and its derivatives, as that’s already well known.
I’m here to talk about the "psychological" factor behind each move made by the public, and how these affect their profits.
Previously, I shared an important strategy on buying and selling wisely, and this post is a continuation of that. Touching on the next topic:
When should I act?
I’ll tell you a cold truth: a high price can sink you more than it appears.
Not due to fees, maybe due to its instability... But the factor that crashes your investment is the very greed of those who expect the price to "keep rising", brother, I’ll be direct here... You don’t know the future; you can fill a candlestick chart with pure lines, and nothing guarantees that your theory is correct.
Cryptos move on psychological factors, and there’s nothing more random than the human mind.
So, as soon as you see a ceiling over your investment, get out of there as soon as you can... If it keeps climbing, don’t feel guilty for your "failure"; believe me, the very act of exiting upon seeing something like that is the wisest thing you could do. Because if it had a 50% chance of going up, it also had a chance of going down.
To close, as I said earlier: "Fear is not defined by panic towards the asset, but by the knowledge of what it is capable of".
Good night.
