The Dangers of Herding behavior
Herding behavior occurs when investors follow the crowd, often resulting in extreme market swings. In the crypto world, this can lead to price volatility, bubbles, and sharp crashes.
Picture a stampede—when one investor rushes in, others follow, driven by FOMO (fear of missing out) or panic. For instance, during Bitcoin's 2017 rally, many investors jumped in without considering the risks, driving prices sky-high before the inevitable crash.
To avoid falling into this trap,It's crucial to:
- Educate yourself on market fundamentals
- Practice smart risk management
- Think critically and independently
