The chart below illustrates the psychology of most retail investors: buy the top and sell the bottom.

𝑴𝒂𝒏𝒚 𝒓𝒆𝒕𝒂𝒊𝒍 𝒊𝒏𝒗𝒆𝒔𝒕𝒐𝒓𝒔 𝒑𝒂𝒏𝒊𝒄 and sell their crypto holdings when they hear negative market or economic news, often at the market's lowest point.
When the market begins to recover and the trend changes, they struggle to quickly adjust their biases and continue to wait for a market crash or prices lower than those at which they sold.
When prices begin to recover and exceed previous all-time highs,
instead of entering, they hesitate, waiting for a pullback, as they have already seen much lower prices in the cycle.
Unfortunately, prices continue to rise, and they end up buying at the top
and the cycle repeats... 🔁

If Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies are slowly rebounding after a long bearish period, we may be in the hope and optimism phase.
If we're approaching record highs and everyone is excited, we're probably in the belief and excitement or euphoria zone.
If the market starts to collapse, then anxiety, panic, or capitulation may set in.

1- 𝐃𝐞𝐭𝐚𝐢𝐥𝐞𝐝 𝐀𝐧𝐚𝐥𝐲𝐬𝐢𝐬: Bitcoin Dominance and Altcoin Season Index
Bitcoin dominance increased slightly to 63.81%, approaching its yearly high of 65.12%. Meanwhile, the Altcoin Season Index remains at 27/100.
This indicates that Bitcoin continues to absorb most of the liquidity in the cryptocurrency market, while altcoins are struggling to gain lasting traction. The index has been in "Bitcoin Season" since April 2025.
2 - 𝐈𝐧𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐭𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐃𝐞𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐃𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐭𝐬 𝐂𝐚𝐩𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐥
US Bitcoin spot #ETF saw $1.02 billion in net inflows on July 11, driven primarily by a $952 million contribution from BlackRock. In contrast, Ethereum ETF inflows were lower, totaling $1.16 billion for the month, compared to $4.6 billion for Bitcoin.
This suggests that traditional financial flows are favoring Bitcoin, depriving altcoins of new capital. The sustainability of these inflows to #BTCETF " data-hashtag="#BTCETF" class="tag">#BTCETF should be closely monitored.
3- 𝐅𝐫𝐚𝐠𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐀𝐥𝐭𝐜𝐨𝐢𝐧 𝐒𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐭𝐡
Altcoins such as #LINK (+14.3%) and $UNI (+15.4%) have outperformed Bitcoin, which has gained 8.55% over the past seven days, thanks to improvements in their DeFi protocols. However, these sector catalysts only lead to temporary rallies for altcoins, lacking the scale and duration needed to trigger a true "altcoin season."
4- 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐜𝐥𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧
Bitcoin remains in control thanks to strong institutional support and Bitcoin's dominance near its annual highs; altcoins remain secondary investments. Investors should watch for a potential reversal of #BTC inflows into ETF and a crossing of the 50/100 threshold of the Altcoin Season index, a sign of a change in market trend.

The secret ? ~ Thread 🧵~
● Here are 10 tips to control your emotions as a crypto investor.
1/➮ Establish an Investment Plan:
→ Before investing, clearly define your goals, your risk tolerance, and entry and exit points. Follow this plan rigorously to avoid impulsive decisions.
2/➮ Diversify your investments:
→ Don't put all your eggs in one basket. Diversification can mitigate the emotional impact of fluctuations in a single asset.
3/➮ Use Dollar Cost Averaging (DCA):
→ Invest a fixed amount at regular intervals, regardless of prices. This reduces the stress of finding the "right time" to buy.
4/➮ Set Loss Limits:
→ Use stop-losses to limit losses. This helps you get out of the market when things go wrong, without emotion taking over.
5/➮ Take Disconnection Periods:
→ Get away from screens and market news. Too much information can lead to emotional overload. There is no point in staying in front of screens looking at the bitcoin chart. Go out and meet people.
6/➮ Practice Meditation and Mindfulness:
→ These techniques can help you stay calm and make decisions based on logic rather than emotion.
7/➮ Technical and Fundamental Analysis:
→ Base your decisions on analysis rather than feelings. This gives structure to your buying and selling decisions.
8/➮ Keep a Trading Journal:
→ Write down your decisions, the emotions you felt, and the results. This can help you identify emotional patterns and learn from your mistakes.
9/➮ Avoid FOMO (Fear Of Missing Out):
→ Don’t get carried away by the crowd. If you have a good plan, stick to it. FOMO is often based on envy rather than rational analysis.
10/➮ Learn to Accept Losses:
→ Understanding that losses are part of the game can reduce anxiety. Don’t see losses as personal failures, but as lessons.
11/➮ Cultivate a Long-Term Mindset:
→ Think of your investments in terms of months or years, not days or hours. This can mitigate emotional reactions to short-term fluctuations.
12/➮ Seek Support and Education:
→ Participate in investor groups, read books on trading psychology, or find a mentor. Learning and community support can strengthen your discipline.
By applying these tips, you can develop a more rational and less emotional approach to investing in cryptocurrencies, which is crucial in such a volatile market.
