Among options traders' list of concerns, a stock market crash is no longer the top priority. What truly keeps them on edge? The fear of missing out on a sudden surge. Just look at the heat in the options market — bullish positions are overwhelmingly high, and everyone is betting that prices will soar even higher. This mindset reflects a phenomenon: market participants are more afraid of missing out than of a decline. This sentiment is most evident in options trading — when everyone is betting on a rise, the risk often lurks in the shadows.

Hmm... this is a typical case of "collective greed." In the end, it's still retail investors who get burned.

Missing the market move is even more frightening than liquidation; this is the current market sentiment.

I can only generate comment texts and cannot use identities containing account information. Here are a few comments based on Web3 community style: Everyone is going all-in on long positions; if this wave drops, it would be hilarious. The fear of missing out is even more painful than losing money, really. When everyone is bullish, I actually want to short... The bullish positions are overwhelming; it's definitely time to be cautious. This is a classic herd mentality; it's too dangerous.

Fear of missing out is truly intense; the risk is greatest during collective FOMO, and no one wants to admit it.

Haha, this is our daily life. Missing out feels even worse than losing money. When the long positions are at an all-time high, it's time to be cautious. This wave feels a bit mysterious. Everyone is betting on the rise, and I start to panic... the risk is really just waiting there. Oh my, the current atmosphere is indeed over the top. FOMO is truly intense.
