Nobody's eager to call a market downturn until it's already unfolding. Traders stay optimistic on the way up, then scramble to react once momentum shifts. That's the reality of crypto markets—most catch the worst of it rather than anticipate.

That's right, those who buy high and sell low are always the majority.

That's so true, this is human nature. Most are armchair strategists after the fact; few can truly buy the dip. That's how the crypto world is—there are always more people chasing the highs and selling the lows than those accumulating during dips. In fact, everyone knows they should plan ahead, but no one can actually do it. This wave of decline has been obvious for a long time, but no one wants to admit it.

actually if you ran the numbers through a proper regression analysis, you'd see this is just selection bias masquerading as market truth. most retail traders literally can't interpret signal from noise... *sigh*

Ha, that's me

That hits too close to home; this is the fate of our group. Always reacting too late, by the time we realize it, it's already a bloodbath.

Buying high and selling low, this is the fate of retail investors.
