Why do I always buy the top and sell the bottom?
Short answer
Buying tops and selling bottoms is the signature of emotional trading. FOMO peaks when a coin is most extended, pulling you in at the top; FUD and panic peak at the bottom of a dip, pushing you to sell exactly when you should not. It is human wiring, not stupidity.
The fix is mechanical, not motivational: pre-set your entries, take-profit, and invalidation before emotion is involved, cap your position size so no single emotional decision is fatal, and use a checklist so buys are deliberate rather than impulsive.

How do I stop FOMO buying?
Adopt a hard rule against chasing parabolic candles, and require evidence (broadening unique buyers, stable liquidity) before any entry.
How do I stop panic selling?
Decide your invalidation before you buy, so you sell for a reason rather than a feeling, and step away after losses instead of revenge trading.
Does a trade journal help?
Yes. Logging your trades and emotions surfaces recurring patterns — like buying tops — so you can build rules that target your specific leaks.
