Ever notice how the timing just hits different? You buy a position you've been eyeing, feel pretty solid about your analysis, and then boom—some talking head goes bullish on it the exact same day. That rush of validation mixed with the creeping dread of wondering if you just got caught in the wake of their influence rather than leading your own play. The psychology of markets hits hard when you're trying to figure out if you actually made a good call or if you're just riding someone else's coat tails. It's that moment where you question everything—was this my conviction, or did I just accidentally align with the narrative? Classic market mind games.
