Market peaks and troughs aren't just price movements—they're mirrors of collective psychology.

At the top: Tourist crowds, FOMO everywhere, everyone's a trader. At the bottom: Empty streets, zero hype, boredom mixed with fear.

Extreme greed versus pure despair. Action junkies everywhere versus ghost towns.

Here's the thing: if you think this analysis is far-fetched, that reaction alone proves it's accurate. The fact you exited when momentum died? That's exactly the pattern. Most people can't handle the silence at the bottom—they've already left before the real opportunity begins.
