Cycles of Investor Psychology: Embrace the Rhythm of Markets
Investor psychology plays a critical role in market cycles, where initial bad news can trigger a cascade of selling as confidence erodes.

This heightened confidence allows asset prices to continue climbing until they inevitably plateau and decline when expectations are unmet. During downturns, pessimism prevails, further depressing asset values until conditions stabilize for a new recovery phase.

Key factors sustaining these cycles include the instinct to profit without missing opportunities, the influence of herd behavior that discourages independent thinking, and the discomfort of seeing others benefit from investments previously rejected.
