Here's a thing about trader psychology that actually matters. You hear someone go "once it hits that level again, I'm out" — that's a dead giveaway they're scared. Bearish energy all the way. They're already mentally checking out, planning their exit.
Now flip it. "I'd buy every dip down to this price point." That's different. That's conviction. That's bullish. And here's the catch — when enough people think like this, that price floor rarely gets tested. The buying pressure builds up before it even gets there. Market structure shifts. The bottom holds.
It's not complicated. Sellers advertising their exit levels are sending weakness signals. Buyers stacking orders at lower prices? That's a floor being built. Price respects that.

Basically, it's all about mindset; those who think about running away have already lost. The winning mentality is to accumulate chips and wait for the decline. The market can sense this kind of strength.

Basically, it's about whose chips are more solid. Buy orders stacking up are much more reliable than sell orders shouting out.

Interesting, I saw this logic long ago from on-chain data. The large traders' accumulation orders clearly attempt to lock in the bottom, and I have tracked the addresses of retail investors shouting to sell — a typical weak signal. Obvious fund correlation, true conviction holders wouldn't be shouting about exit times in the chat.

Basically, it's a psychological game. Those who cut losses have already chickened out, and the true winners are the ones holding their positions.

That's the difference. Those who shout about running can't hold on at all; those who quietly add to their positions are the real pros.
