Why is nobody talking about the psychological trap that keeps retail investors sitting on the sidelines during every major crypto cycle?
Most traders waste years waiting for a massive correction, only to end up FOMO buying near the top out of sheer frustration. They get stuck in a loop of regret, convinced they missed the boat while the market steadily moves ahead without them.
Let's look at the historical data as a case study in investor psychology. Back in 2017, people refused to buy because they missed the double-digit prices of 2015. By the 2021 bull run, those same sidelined investors were wishing they had accumulated during the 2018 bear market. The pattern repeats endlessly, and the future will likely look no different to those wishing they bought today.
Right now, we see the exact same hesitation with $BTC and major assets like $ETH. People are waiting for a return to previous cycle lows, completely ignoring the fact that the market floor rises over time. The hard truth is that the perfect entry is a myth created by fear, and waiting for a historical discount is usually a losing strategy.
Are you waiting for a deeper correction, or is the current price range your accumulation zone?
