Why FOMO when a coin is pumping

[terrorJR]

it is human nature that makes this happen and human greed.
when the coins are pumped in such an automatic way everyone wants to participate in taking profits regardless of whether it is small or large the important thing is that they can profit from it without doing research first and without thinking that the coins being pumped have gone too high. they only think about the advantages and disadvantages of it.
and actually those who do this are actually not just beginners but those who are already in the pro level of trading also do this a lot but they know the limits and know how he gets in and how he gets out. different from beginners who just enter without a clear calculation and get confused when this coin drops so they get a loss

To me what i see in most cases is that some people don't like investing while the price is very low i they don't believe on the project but after seeing the increase and pumping of the market they got triggered and wanting to invest quickly by then is already late and it may occur and lead to market dumping.

Apart from heavy pumps, do you know that trading and riding of waves is more profitable than all this hodl strategy?
For example, you bought a coin and held everything on Wallet and you keep watching and  then it pumped by 200%, that's 2x of your investment but I'm very sure that you can't sell at that 2x because many will sell and you may end up by 1.5x but a trader hop in when he is sure that the market is about to kick and sell off immediately the market stop pumping, he will keep doing that and if care isn't taking, he may make more profit than the person that's holding.

If you come up in the right timing and it's indeed profitable, riding with the moving train gives you decent profits though it isn't easy as there are possibilities that you already riding at the peak and the next thing that will happen is the dump period.

But, it's always depends on you if you have that nerve to try your luck and see if the market will favor you in investing with the pump.

Your money always depending on how you perceive and how you interpret the market situation.

When the the price is still low people feel more difficult to think that their investment will grow from it because it feels like investing in a new coin with higher chance of failure and think that maybe the project will not become success in the future since most of projects will not easily become successful. But when a coin is pumping everyone think the coin will have promising future because it's pumping that means it's slowly become popular and prove itself to be worthy and maybe it's not too late for another pump but it's already pumping and most of people will be too late.

I always wonder why a lot of people fomo to buy a coin or token after the price has pumped. In this present bull run I've seen a lot of people FOMO and buy cryptos at a really high price and they quickly dump when they witness drawdowns.
Isn't that just hustling backwards?? Its almost like they are trying to loose money on purpose.
So i wonder why they FOMO to buy in the first place

They are scared of missing out on the pumps that is happening and they want to get some profits too, normally people are not fond of buying the dips, about 70% of the investors normally come in when they see the coins pumping hard, they don't wanna buy the dips cause they feel the coin might keep falling down rather they prefer to buy during pumps because they believe it will continue going up, its natural people just prefer to fomo rather than buy at low prices.

most of them just want to make a faster profit under any circumstances. Usually they buy when they see the tokens have started to be pumped because they are afraid of missing the train so that they can have a small profit in their current condition. they will sell immediately when pumping up.

You have pointed out the real reason. Most people do not research any new project. They are only influenced by others. And that's why they can't invest at the right time. It is already too late when they invest. Because of this they get very little profit or lose their money.

Yeah, everyone wants to invest in a coin that's rising in value. It makes sense to invest in projects doing good but one thing I have learned is that, find coins or projects that are relatively unknown and hidden and invest in them. Of course, analyze them and if they have the potential, only then you invest.

Coins with high exposure like EOS will never do too good because the coin has already gained enough eyeballs and the growth will be minimal while coins that are hidden like Solana were hidden for a long time, then it went big. That said, the chances of losing the entire investment are small when investing in known projects as compared to unknowns.

Well, the fear of missing out on the potential continuous uptrend is a major cause of FOMO. I sold about 1600 cake for $400 when I suffered impermanent loss from providing liquidity. The sad thing is that: cake never did dump below my sold price. I had to just buy over 300 with the hope that it will dump more, well it kept an upward trend, hadn't I FOMO, I would miss out in total regret. FOMO can be dangerous though like people who bought the ATH of ICP.

[Hannahanto]

Lmao hustling backwards you say, it's more like not hustling at all been lost in an island. And I don't think FOMO will ever stop they'll always be FOMO for market to continue only the wise ones will learn From Their mistakes some repeat a mistake up to a hundred times predicting what if it works. I always tell my friends not to invest in any coin that's on bull or chasing a new ATH the probability of loss is very high big risk small reward.

Another reason behind the hype is social media. When the price for a token is high, the entire social media will be praising heaps about it. Most of the crypto traders are actually immature and don't realize the worth of a token, instead look for the price and hype.

We may claim that our community has matured enough but the reality is that even today underage kids and students are trading crypto and we can't expect them to understand the value of the token. You will never see such hype and FOMO about a real-life project in the share market.

Remember guys, our crypto trading community is fairly young and it has only been a couple of years since we have crypto exchanges.

That's the nature of newbies. Many of them got caught off guard with this FOMO. We have to control our emotions and invest on where the best to be. Doing our research is a must and not entering wrecklessly that could lead to a loss. Another thing is social media influencer who try to spread hype in a coin specially now that most people rely on social media for information.

[Kavidissa11]

True FOMO, on the other hand, frequently occurs during the bull run. Pump and dump are common in the market because to its volatility, but during the bull run, the pump is more prominent, causing consumers to become fearful of missing out. Actually, FOMO is bad because it overvalues a currency; it will only attract beginners who lack experience and are blinded by greed, but they will regret it once the bull run is over.

[ogundowotoby01]

When a coin is pumping up in price on the chart is the wrong time to FOMO and buy into the cryptocurrency just because you see the price going up and you fear to miss out on tge potential profits. this is because by the time the price is pumping the smart Money had already accumulated their position when the price was low and they are the ones selling to the new money coming into the market so by the time the orders from the smart money investors don't been liquidated there wouldn't be new money coming into the market anymore and the prices start to drop. So the best time to buy altcoins bitcoin and other financial assets is when the price has dunped and the asset is undervalued

With this type of investment strategy, it is more like the investor is pouring water in the basket, it would never get full. People that employ this type of trading strategy are mostly newbies and are too lazy to do research or don't even know what crytpo is all about.

Usually they really are the newbies.

FOMOing when they see everything goes up and thinking that they're too late already. Research is necessary, they probably have been doing that.

But about emotional control, they lack of it and that's when they get FOMO.

[Emmychris]

What causes people to FOMO into the market could be ignorance, most people see prices at low price and get scared to buy or invest in to the market and when price starts pumping they feel lazy and afraid to enter into the market because of fear of price correction but only for them to watch the price keep increasing and finally goes to buy the top just because of fear of missing out on the profit there feel they would get from investing in coin which there refused to buy at a cheap price.

[lenovop-70]

Thats because newbie comes in, they think the market will always goes up without correction, and the whales were selling too high in over valuated price and then newbies trapped and soon will dump the price in panic and despair. FOMO coins only fit to buy and sell, not for a long term hold.

No one can guarantee that FOMO coins are at high risk even if the price goes to the pump, it is much less likely to rise if it goes down. Bitcoin and ethereum commodities are better to choose for long term hold as newcomers have less knowledge about the market there will be no fear of losing them.

Fomo and Fud games on certain coins are fun and sad. if we can take advantage of the moment then we will get a lot of profit, but if we are greedy then the moment is missed until we seem to never find the fomo back on the coin. so from that it is true that if we are still beginners btc and eth can be an option

I totally related every word you said, i buy some shit coin that rise 200%  , but i did not sell it because i thought it never goes down and very soon its dumped. ahh, i wish i read this msg of yours erlier.

Very simply, the loss of control of greed for the uninformed, or it is a real opportunity for those who see a profit from FOMO. One thing is for sure, most signals to prepare for an outburst are rather vague, like turning rumors into facts.

[LongStand]

FOMO is a major factor to consider when swing trading in cryptocurrency because it is still largely driven by feelings rather than valuation. People buy at the top or hold during a dip after generating profits because they are afraid of missing out. When a coin is pumping, people FOMO the coin because they didn't want to miss out on the possibility to make money by producing it at a higher cost. FOMO occurs when people act on impulse because they are afraid of missing out.
