Ever notice how people tend to chase momentum at the peak, then panic-sell near the bottom? Most assume it's pure carelessness, but there's actually deeper mechanics at work.
Fear and greed aren't bugs—they're features of human nature that create recurring market patterns. Every bull run, every crash, follows the same emotional blueprint. The traders who consistently profit aren't necessarily smarter; they're the ones who recognize these psychological triggers and stick to their strategy when emotions run hot.
So the real skill isn't predicting price moves—it's managing yourself. Once you understand the psychology driving each cycle, the market becomes far more readable.

ngl this reads like basic psychology 101 dressed up as market wisdom. the real money isn't in "understanding cycles"—it's in gas optimization and execution efficiency. most traders hemorrhage value through sub-optimal transaction batching, and that's demonstrably proven by mempool analysis. but sure, emotional discipline matters too i guess

That's right, it's just the self-management approach... but I still can't get rid of the habit of chasing high and killing low haha

That's right, it's a matter of self-discipline... but very few people can truly achieve it.

Basically, you need to control your hands and not let emotions manipulate your account.

You're right, self-discipline is really worth much more than technical skills in market analysis.

That's right, you just need to control your greedy heart.
