If markets moved on logic alone, most people would already be rich.
Most traders believe one simple rule:
Good news equals higher prices.
But crypto doesn’t work that way.
If you’ve been in this market long enough, you’ve seen it:
price drops exactly when confidence is highest.
This isn’t random.
Expectations are priced in early
By the time news reaches everyone, large players have already positioned themselves.
When retail enters, smart money exits.
Buy the rumor, sell the news
Markets move on anticipation, not confirmation.
Excitement creates liquidity — and liquidity attracts sellers.
Leverage creates traps
Before major events, leverage spikes.
A small move against the crowd is enough to trigger liquidations.
This is why “bullish news” often leads to red candles.
Markets reward thinking, not hoping
Crypto doesn’t move to make the majority comfortable.
It moves to surprise them.
