Why YOU Buy Tops & Sell Bottomsš¤¦āāļø (And How to STOP!)

Youāve done it. Iāve done it. Every trader has done it.
You watch price skyrocket, feel the FOMO kicking in, and before you know it, youāre clicking "BUY" at the absolute peakājust in time for a massive dump.
Or worseā¦ You see price crashing, panic sets in, and you sell everything right before the reversal.
Why does this happen? Why do traders, including YOU, keep making this mistake?
š Itās not because youāre stupid. Itās not because you lack experience.
š Itās because your brain is wired to fail in tradingāunless you break the cycle.
š§ The Psychological Trap of Buying High & Selling Low
Markets are engineered to play with your emotionsāespecially fear and greed.
š¹ Greed kicks in when price pumps ā You feel like you're "missing out" ā You buy at the top.
š¹ Fear takes over when price dumps ā You feel like it will keep crashing ā You sell the bottom.
Itās not just youāthis happens to every retail trader who doesnāt understand how markets truly work.
Letās break down the psychology behind this and how you can stop falling for the same trap over and over again.
Youāre watching Bitcoin or a stock pumping hardāgreen candle after green candle. The news is bullish, Twitter is hyped, and people are screaming "BUY NOW OR BE LEFT BEHIND!"
You feel the pressure building. If you wait, price might never come back.

š The Hidden Game: How Market Makers Exploit Retail Traders
Picture thisā¦
You're sitting at your screen, watching price rip higher. Twitter is hyped, the news is bullish, and influencers are calling for "new all-time highs!" Your heart beats faster. You donāt want to miss out.
So, you buy.
But the moment you enter, something strange happensā¦ The momentum stalls. A few red candles appear. āItās just a dip,ā you tell yourself. But thenāBAM!āthe price plunges. Your entry turns red instantly.
You panic. You didnāt expect this. "Maybe I should just sell before it gets worse?"
And right when you finally give in and hit sell, price bounces back up like magic.
What just happened?
You just got played.
š The Market Makerās Playbook
Market makers and smart money donāt buy like retail. They donāt FOMO into moves. Instead, they create moves to manipulate you into handing over liquidity.
Hereās how they do it:
1ļøā£ They push price up aggressively to create hype.
2ļøā£Ā Retail traders FOMO in, thinking itās the ālast chanceā to buy.
3ļøā£Ā Smart money starts unloading their bags on these late buyers.
5ļøā£Ā Price tanks, trapping FOMO buyers in a loss.
And when price drops hard? Retail traders panic sell at the exact moment smart money starts buying again.
Itās a beautiful, brutal cycle.
If this sounds familiar, thatās because it happens over and over again.
Most traders never escape this trap because they trade based on emotion, not logic. But once you start seeing whatās really going on behind the scenes, youāll never look at the market the same way again.
š Ready to stop being the liquidity? Let's keep going.
You see a strong resistance level, and price is approaching it fast. Twitter is buzzing about a breakout, and retail traders are getting ready to long on the breakout candle.

š ļø How to STOP Buying Tops & Selling Bottoms Forever
Imagine thisā¦
You're at your desk. The market is moving, but you're calm. There's no rush, no panic, no urge to click the button just because price is flashing in front of you.
You see the same price action as everyone elseā
š The breakout happeningā¦
š The pullback formingā¦
š» The dump shaking people outā¦
But unlike before, youāre in control.
You already know where you want to enter.
You already know at what price you'll exit.
You already know what would make you skip the trade entirely.
This is what a real trader looks like.
Letās break it down step by step.
š§ Step 1: Become the Calm Trader
The best traders donāt chaseāthey wait.
š They donāt react to every price move.
š They donāt feel the need to be in a trade all the time.
š They understand that missing a trade is better than forcing one.
Next time you feel the need to jump into the market ask yourself:
ā Do I actually have an edge here, or am I just chasing price?
ā If I donāt take this trade, am I missing a real opportunity, or just a quick rush of adrenaline?
The calm trader knows:
š If itās not a clear setup, there is no trade.
š Step 2: Trust the Data, Not Your Feelings
A trade should never be based on emotion. It should be based on evidence.
Before entering, ask yourself:
ā
What does volume say? (Is there real demand or just hype?)
ā
What does liquidity say? (Are big players actually buying or are they offloading into retail?)
ā
What does confirmation say? (Is price actually breaking out, or is it a trap?)
A calm trader waits until price proves itās ready.
An emotional trader jumps in first and hopes it works out.
āļø Step 3: Position Yourself Where Smart Money Is
The market isnāt random. Itās engineered.
š Price doesnāt just moveāitās pushed to areas where liquidity is waiting.
š Smart money doesnāt buy on impulseāthey buy where retail is forced to sell.
That means:
š¹ Instead of chasing price, you wait at key liquidity levels.
š¹ Instead of reacting, you already have a plan before price gets there.
š¹ Instead of guessing, you know exactly what will make you enter or skip the trade.
The best entries feel boring. Youāre not rushing. Youāre not second-guessing. Youāre simply executing your plan.
š”ļø Step 4: Accept That Some Trades Will Get Away
Hereās the hardest truth: You donāt need to catch every move.
š Some breakouts will happen without you.
š Some trades will run without ever giving you a perfect entry.
š Some plays will stop you out before moving in your direction.
Thatās fine.
š A calm trader doesnāt chase.
š A calm trader doesnāt revenge trade.
š A calm trader moves on to the next trade.
Because in the long run? Missing a trade wonāt ruin you. But chasing the wrong ones will.
š” The Market Rewards the Calm, Not the Reactive
Think about the traders who consistently make money.
They arenāt the ones who click buttons out of fear or excitement.
They arenāt the ones who trade every setup just because it "looks good."
They are the ones who sit back, observe, and execute only when the market gives them the green light.
And now, thatās you.
From today forward, you are the calm trader.
No more chasing. No more reacting. No more emotional trades.
Just clear plans, smart decisions, and executing with precision.

Resistance Is WRONGā¦
So, now youāve mastered how to stop chasing price and trade like a calm professional. But thereās one more thing you need to seeā¦
š Youāve been taught that support and resistance are key levels where price reverses.
š Youāve been told that if price reaches support, you should buyāand if it hits resistance, you should sell.
But what if I told youā¦ thatās all a lie?
The market doesnāt respect support & resistanceāit exploits them.
š Ever wondered why price breaks a resistance level, only to dump right after?
š Why does price bounce off support just enough to trick you, then collapse?
š Who is actually making money from these levelsāretail traders, or someone else?
Iām going to tear apart the biggest myth in trading and show you what REALLY drives price actionāso you stop being the one getting played.
