Explained Simply

FOMO is a powerful emotional driver in crypto markets. It leads people to buy at high prices after seeing others profit, often near market tops. FOMO-driven buying typically results in losses when prices correct. The antidote to FOMO is having a plan — setting a budget, using dollar-cost averaging, and understanding that there will always be future opportunities. If you feel FOMO, it is usually a signal to slow down and research before acting.
