welcome to the deep dive we're jumping
0:01
right in today the crypto market well
0:03
it's buzzing especially with this
0:05
altcoin season everyone's talking about
0:07
it really is exciting but uh definitely
0:09
risky territory too exactly you see
0:12
those huge gains the hype online and you
0:14
feel that pull right that urge to just
0:16
dive in totally but okay let's pause for
0:19
a second we need to talk about a super
0:21
common mistake buying the top ah yes the
0:25
classic FOMO trap consider this like
0:27
your guide to hopefully dodging that
0:29
stress dodging those potential losses
0:32
that can come with it definitely and
0:33
when we say buying the top what we mean
0:35
is you know jumping into a crypto after
0:36
it's already shot up like crazy yeah
0:38
like 100% 200% maybe even 300% or more
0:42
in just a few days or weeks and that
0:43
fear of missing out the FOMO it's
0:46
powerful it pushes people to buy late so
0:48
our mission today let's really dig into
0:50
why this happens so often what are the
0:53
consequences and most importantly how
0:55
can you avoid it we'll look at real
0:57
market stuff past cycles okay so picture
1:00
this you're scrolling maybe online and
1:03
boom a coin you barely know is suddenly
1:06
up say 75% in just 3 days it feels like
1:10
everyone else is getting rich quick and
1:12
you're just watching from the sidelines
1:14
that's the lure isn't it it really is
1:15
and you start thinking maybe this just
1:17
keeps going up you know straight to the
1:19
moon but things don't just go straight
1:21
to the moon do they that's a bit of a
1:23
misconception not usually no what often
1:26
happens is that initial surge it might
1:28
be driven by early buyers maybe even
1:30
some coordinated groups that kind of
1:32
parabolic move well it's rarely
1:35
sustainable markets have cycles ups and
1:37
downs and that's exactly where buying
1:39
high really stings you finally jump in
1:41
feeling like you're catching the wave
1:43
and then what happens the pullback the
1:45
price correction it's almost inevitable
1:47
after a massive runup we could be
1:49
talking what 15% maybe 18% even 20%
1:52
drops for sometimes more easily and
1:55
suddenly that thousand dollars you threw
1:56
in maybe feeling hopeful well now you're
1:59
instantly down $200 ouch that doesn't
2:02
feel good no and what's really tough is
2:04
the emotional side of it you go from
2:06
excitement to just pure anxiety yeah you
2:09
start second guessing yourself watching
2:11
the charts constantly checking your
2:12
phone every 5 minutes and then you feel
2:14
this pressure this urge to just sell
2:17
even at a loss just to make the feeling
2:19
stop it gets really stressful it kind of
2:21
reminds me of uh remember back in
2:23
December 2024 that big altcoin run oh
2:27
yeah that was intense everything seemed
2:29
to be flying a lot of people felt like
2:31
"Okay this is it i'm finally making it
2:32
in crypto." But
2:35
then reality hit what followed was what
2:38
5 months or so of just down or sideways
2:42
at best pretty bearish yeah and anyone
2:45
who bought right at the peak during that
2:47
December madness they'd probably spent a
2:50
long long time underwater just
2:52
regretting that impulse buy it really
2:54
highlights the need to break free from
2:56
those purely emotional decisions so okay
2:59
you see a coin pumping hard before you
3:01
click buy what should you do we think
3:03
there are three really critical
3:05
questions you need to ask yourself
3:06
honestly okay let's hear them first one
3:09
if I buy this right now am I actually
3:11
going to be okay if the price tanks in
3:12
the next two days m that's a good one
3:15
forces you to face the immediate risk
3:17
your actual tolerance for that potential
3:19
drop right question two am I buying this
3:23
only because it's already up a ton like
3:25
400% or something and am I secretly
3:27
hoping it's going to do something
3:29
totally unrealistic like another 800% or
3:31
a 20x like tomorrow ah the reality check
3:36
question is this FOMO talking or is it
3:38
strategy are my expectations grounded
3:41
exactly and the third one maybe the most
3:43
important why am I really buying this
3:44
coin what's the actual plan here what's
3:46
my prerogative what's the reason beyond
3:48
just number go up is there tech a
3:50
community a purpose what's your time
3:52
frame yeah if the only answer you have
3:54
is uh cuz it's pumping that's probably a
3:57
massive red flag absolutely asking these
3:59
questions helps you switch gears you
4:01
know from just chasing pumps to making a
4:03
thoughtout decision so okay practically
4:06
speaking how do you avoid getting caught
4:08
buying the top what steps can you take
4:10
well one really solid strategy is don't
4:12
go all in at once scale in you mean like
4:15
dollar cost averaging sort of yeah or
4:18
just starting smaller if you like a coin
4:20
that's already moving maybe put in just
4:23
a fraction of what you eventually want
4:24
to invest right keep some capital aside
4:27
some dry powder as they say exactly so
4:29
if it does dip which it often does you
4:32
can buy more at a better price it's like
4:33
dipping your toe in the water instead of
4:35
a cannonball that makes sense it
4:36
averages out your entry price over time
4:38
and it ties into understanding that
4:40
pullbacks are normal right even in a
4:42
strong uptrend totally normal
4:44
consolidation happens prices need to
4:46
breathe even Bitcoin dominance you know
4:49
its share of the market it consolidates
4:51
and that affects all coins too so just
4:53
because a price goes up a lot doesn't
4:55
mean it won't come down a bit before
4:56
potentially going higher expect those
4:58
pauses those dips which leads back to
5:02
having a plan please have a plan don't
5:04
just you know ape in that's the slang
5:06
right just blindly throwing money
5:08
because something's trending right know
5:11
why you're buying and just as crucial
5:13
know when you might sell have some
5:15
targets maybe for taking profits or even
5:17
for cutting losses if it goes wrong
5:19
speaking of taking profits maybe we
5:22
should talk about market sentiment like
5:24
the fear and greed index yeah that's
5:26
relevant right now hypothetically let's
5:28
say it's around 71 that indicates greed
5:31
in the market so when everyone's feeling
5:33
greedy and euphoric maybe that's
5:35
actually a signal it can be it doesn't
5:38
mean sell everything instantly but it's
5:40
often a sensible time to think about
5:42
locking in some gains turn those paper
5:44
profits into real realized gains you
5:47
could even dollar cost average out of a
5:48
position selling bits as the price goes
5:50
up that's a smart way to manage risk on
5:52
the way up too now zooming out a bit the
5:55
bigger picture let's say Bitcoin's over
5:57
100K ethereum is holding above $2 that
5:59
suggests a strong overall uptrend right
6:01
yeah the macro trend seems bullish and
6:04
interestingly Ethereum dominance its
6:06
market share relative to Bitcoin looks
6:08
like it might have bottomed out and
6:10
historically a rising Ethereum dominance
6:12
can often fuel altcoin runs can't it it
6:15
often does meanwhile Bitcoin dominance
6:18
might be decreasing overall but it'll
6:20
still likely consolidate sideways at
6:22
times affecting the alt market flow okay
6:25
so let's look at some recent examples
6:27
because they really illustrate this
6:28
buying the top risk perfectly think
6:31
about some of those meme coins lately oh
6:33
yeah names like what dgn Migles Cockinu
6:36
Zero Bro Simon's Cat they can pump
6:39
incredibly fast and often dump just as
6:42
fast or faster but it's not just memes
6:45
look at something like Brett right brett
6:46
went up to about 9.3 cents then what
6:49
pulled back like 18% after consolidating
6:51
exactly imagine buying right at that 9.3
6:53
cent peak you'd be down almost 20%
6:55
pretty quickly feeling pretty stressed
6:57
or uh Medicaid was another one huge pump
6:59
like 106% up and then a 15% drop right
7:02
after these aren't small moves they show
7:04
how fast things can turn yeah if you
7:06
bought the top on either of those you'd
7:07
be feeling the pain and that's a cycle
7:09
we really want you to avoid that
7:11
destructive pattern of buy high because
7:13
of FOMO watch it drop panic sell at a
7:16
loss and then immediately jump into the
7:18
next hot coin that's pumping repeating
7:20
the same mistake it's just an emotional
7:22
roller coaster that usually ends badly
7:24
for your portfolio and your sanity so
7:27
wrapping this up the main takeaway here
7:29
really is patience having a plan and
7:33
actually understanding like really
7:35
understanding that crypto is volatile
7:38
resisting that FOMO urge when a coin's
7:40
already gone vertical that's probably
7:42
one of the most important skills for
7:44
protecting your capital in this market
7:45
it really is so maybe take a moment now
7:48
reflect a little have you ever fallen
7:50
into this trap have you bought the top
7:52
before yeah think about it honestly
7:54
recognizing if you've done it in the
7:55
past is actually a really good step
7:57
towards not doing it again and building
8:00
on that here's something to really chew
8:01
on how can you take these ideas the
8:04
questions to ask the strategies like
8:06
scaling in yeah having a plan how can
8:08
you actively apply them now how can you
8:10
navigate this current old coin season or
8:13
the next one with a bit more wisdom a
8:15
bit less emotion and avoid those
8:17
gut-wrenching moments after buying too
8:19
high thinking about that planning for it
8:22
that's really the key to a hopefully
8:24
more successful and definitely less
8:26
stressful crypto journey thanks for
