Ever notice how a bear market makes every single day feel like a month? Meanwhile when the rally kicks in, weeks just vanish. It's wild how our perception of time actually shifts based on what's happening with prices. During downturns, you're glued to charts, refreshing every second, watching liquidations—everything feels slow motion. But in bull runs? You blink and suddenly prices have moved another 20%. The emotional intensity determines how fast the clock ticks. Profit or loss has a way of warping your whole sense of reality.
