Ego blocks your trend reversal.

When self-doubt creeps in, your chart gets choppy—price action turns indecisive, full of noise.

Then comes the turning point: awareness. You start seeing the pattern. Acceptance follows—that's when the price finds its bottom, consolidates, rounds out.

Understanding? That's the inverse head and shoulders. The inflection point.

But here's the thing: none of it matters without process. Achievable, goal-oriented steps—that's what generates momentum. That's what actually flips the trend.

Mind shapes markets.

That's right, self-doubt is the most toxic. I've seen so many people give up during fluctuations, only for the market to rebound immediately afterward.

In simple terms, it's a mindset issue. Anyone can talk about it on paper; what matters is having the execution ability.

It sounds nice, but when the market experiences a big dump, who still remembers what mentality to have?

Overconfidence and excessive doubt are equally deadly; both are fatal injuries on the battlefield. The key is still discipline.

Nah, ego really is a trap... It's true, once self-doubt kicks in, the charts start to dance wildly.

To be honest, self-doubt is the biggest trap for the mind... I've seen too many people fail at this mental hurdle.

You're not wrong, but I think most people just can't do it... What's the use of just thinking about mindset? They still end up losing money.

Self-doubt is indeed extreme; I start to randomly place orders when I get anxious, and both the charts and my mindset are a complete mess. Just understanding it is not enough; I really have to execute, otherwise, I will still be trapped by my own ego.

This article has some substance, and the last sentence "mind shapes markets" is the truth. But the problem is that most people's minds are just a garbage dump, and self-doubt is the most deadly.
