Markets can crash pretty fast sometimes, and I think its mostly because fear takes over quick. Like, one piece of bad news hits, and everyone starts panicking without really stopping to think. That leads to a big sell off, prices drop, and then all those automatic stop losses kick in, making even more selling happen in a chain reaction. It feels kind of chaotic.
In crypto especially, leverage makes it worse. Traders borrow money to bet big, so even a small dip forces the exchanges to sell everything to cover losses. That dumps the price even harder all at once.
Big investors, the whales, they dont hang around during that fear. They just dump their holdings fast to save what they can, and then regular people like us follow along, selling too. It seems like fear spreads way quicker than any good feelings.
News comes out of nowhere too, stuff like new regulations or some hack or even bigger things like wars or interest rate jumps. All that arrives instantly, and since fear is so emotional, people sell right away without waiting.
On the other side, when markets go up, its a lot slower. Confidence doesnt build overnight, you know. People test the waters with small buys first, wait to see if its for real, and only then put in more money.
The smart money, those big players, they accumulate positions quietly over time so they dont drive the price up too fast themselves. That keeps things gradual.
Every little rise runs into profit taking from early buyers, or sellers jumping back in, which blocks any quick jumps. Greed is more careful, it asks if this pump is legit, so money flows in bit by bit. Trust has to be earned, I guess, which takes longer.
Fear is like taking the elevator down, urgent and straight. Greed is more like climbing stairs, step after step. Markets rise slow because that caution holds things back, while crashes just happen in a rush. This part gets a bit messy to explain, but yeah.#StrategyBTCPurchase
