According to Compounding Quality (@QCompounding), denial in trading psychology—where traders ignore negative realities with thoughts like 'It's not that bad'—often leads to poor decisions and delayed market reactions. This behavioral bias can cause crypto traders to hold onto losing positions longer than rational analysis would recommend, increasing the risk of deeper losses during market downturns (source: Compounding Quality, Twitter, June 2, 2025). Recognizing and counteracting denial can help traders react swiftly to market signals and improve risk management in volatile cryptocurrency environments.
