Ever notice how most retail traders pile in at exactly the wrong time? Check the chart—that green zone marks where the crowd shows up. By then, momentum looks unstoppable, candles are pumping green, and FOMO kicks in hard. Everyone's convinced 'this is the breakout' and buys in.
But here's the catch: that's often right before things reverse. The smart money already positioned earlier when it looked sketchy. By the time charts scream 'buy,' you're probably late to the party. When price drops afterward, those late entries get wrecked.
Timing matters more than conviction. The moves that feel safest are usually the riskiest.
