I got caught again. When a certain coin was at 84,000 yuan, I didn't dare to buy in. Watching the FOMO, I couldn't take it anymore and felt that if I didn't enter now, it would reach 1 million. As a result, I bought in, and the market lost momentum immediately, leaving me completely trapped.

Looking back now, this manipulation was really skillful. When the article was published yesterday, the market was just so-so, and by evening, there was no significant movement on the base chain. It wasn't until this morning that it started on BSC, and coincidentally, a big V retweeted it—this is what they call perfect timing, location, and harmony.

The reason I’m writing this is honestly because I’m feeling frustrated. It’s a typical pattern of chasing highs and getting trapped, sending myself in when I thought the logic was sound. Now I truly understand the importance of market timing.

Chasing highs feels good for a moment, but getting trapped leads to a cremation ground, brother.

This is the cost of FOMO. When it was at 84,000, I could still hold on, but in the end, I still couldn't escape the manipulator's tricks. Watching their coordinated move of big V accounts reposting, it's truly a perfect collaboration.

Haha, that's why I never chase highs. Let FOMO die.

Haha, this is a classic FOMO killer. I've been through it too. The big players are really clever; they hit the gas as soon as you get in. You need to learn this trick.

The typical FOMO disease has struck again. We've all been through this before, it's just too painful.

A typical chasing-the-high sucker, I've seen this routine too many times. The key is still the lack of discipline; when FOMO takes over, nothing else matters.

Chasing high and getting trapped is really foolish. The way the big players coordinated with the influencers this time is truly impressive. I should have waited for a pullback before buying.
