FOMO

FOMO ("fear of missing out") is the fear of missing an opportunity, which pushes you to buy in a rush, often at the top.

It is a classic psychological trap: seeing an asset soar makes you want to jump in without thinking. FOMO makes you buy too high, right before a pullback. A trading plan and discipline are the best cures.

Example

A crypto has already doubled; out of FOMO, you buy it at the top, right before it drops.
