FOMO — Fear Of Missing Out — is the urge to jump into a move that is already running because watching it go without you feels unbearable. It typically gets traders in near the top, right before a pullback. A feeling of urgency is itself an anti-signal: the more urgent a trade feels, the worse it usually is.
