Nobody talks about the "sell the news" pattern.


But it's the most reliable pattern in crypto.
📌 How it works:
1. Big event announced (rate cut, ETF approval, upgrade)
2. Price pumps in anticipation — "buy the rumor"
3. Event happens — price DROPS
4. Everyone asks: "Why is it going down on good news??"
Because the buyers already bought 🤝
When the news hits, they sell. Into YOU.
Real examples:
→ Bitcoin ETF approved Jan 2024 → BTC dropped 20% right after
→ FOMC Jan 2026 held rates → BTC fell 7.3% in 48 hours
→ Every "bullish" upgrade that dumped on launch day
The pattern repeats because retail never learns it.
Rule: If EVERYONE is excited about an upcoming event, plan your EXIT — not your entry.
