There is a moment no one talks about.

It’s not when Bitcoin breaks resistance.
It’s not when Ethereum spikes 8% in 20 minutes.
It’s not even when liquidation candles wipe out millions

It’s the moment before you press Buy

That last click.

Most traders believe they lose because of volatility, whales, manipulation, or bad timing. But the real loss often happens earlier — in the silent psychological microsecond before execution.

Let’s talk about that.

The Market Doesn’t Liquidate You. Your Emotions Do.

Every trade begins with a narrative.

  • “This breakout looks strong.”

  • “It already pumped — but it can go higher.”

  • “If I don’t enter now, I’ll miss it.”

  • “I’ll just use a little leverage.”

The chart doesn’t force you to click.

Your internal story does.

By the time you hit Buy, the decision has already been emotionally justified. Logic becomes decoration.

This is where most traders unknowingly sabotage themselves:
They trade to relieve tension, not to execute strategy.

The tension of missing out.
The tension of recovering losses.
The tension of proving they were right.

And relief-driven trades rarely end well.
