Some Traders Lose Not by Acting, But by Ignoring the Noise Completely

Not every influencer post is alpha, I get that. But in my experience, completely ignoring what’s trending especially with strong community backing can also be a missed opportunity.
I have seen it happen before, people shrugged off $ANI and $Valentine early on, thinking it was all noise, and then watched them take off when the hype kicked in, especially after Elon viral posts.

Now I’m seeing a bit of buzz around $GOODRUD, which is trading live on Bitget Onchain. I’m not saying it’s going to explode, but based on what I’ve seen, sometimes just watching the sentiment shift early can make all the difference.

At the end of the day, I still manage risk like usual, but I don’t ignore momentum anymore. Sitting on the sidelines has cost me more than a few wins. A lot of people dismiss early chatter as noise, but by the time the mainstream catches on, the move’s already halfway done.
At the end of the day, I still manage risk like usual, position sizing, stop losses, and not going all in on hype. But I’ve learned not to ignore momentum anymore. The market runs on emotion as much as logic, and momentum trades don’t wait for confirmation.
