The thrill phase represents the best turning point in the market cycle. It's the start of the good times and a bull rush.
The thrill is when things simply get "lit" or crazy.
Can you remember the moment when something just started to get really good?
Maybe it was a particular season of your favorite show… more people showing up at a fun party… or a major draft pick of an exciting player by your favorite team.
Thrill follows those same moments in the market. And time and time again, we've seen many securities make that type of splash.
Certain securities and other instruments such as ETFs, bitcoin, and gold have all hit the thrill phase which has sparked an immediate rise in volume and price.
But the key to enjoying the thrill is to already have yourself positioned before the thrill sets in.
The Anticipation Before the Thrill
There are a lot of factors that lead to a gold rush but it mostly comes from competition. In the stock market, there are so many securities vying for your dollars and investment.
The key is to separate the wheat from the chaff. There are truly helpful and valuable assets and other securities that are just gimmicks, knockoffs, or pump-and-dump schemes.
But only the best traders do their due diligence and confirm the hype. Thrill in the market cycle can present itself to you in so many ways you don't see. So you have to get on it beforehand.
Blink, and you'll miss it.
Apart from using trading strategies and doing your research, you should have a keen eye for trends and how the financial world is changing around you before the hype blows up in your face.
For example, traders might feel they missed out on Tesla Inc. (TSLA) surging past $2,000 in August, but anyone who had a position before then couldn't wait to tell you:
- You've got to get in on this before the stock split
- You can buy this when the stock splits
- Tell your friends to buy!
But remember this is a foreshadowing. Nothing good lasts forever.
It's All Downhill From Here
Just when things get good, they can also spiral into something out of control or become unsustainable.
Just when writers write their best season for a TV show, it may also be hard for them to top that. Or the thrill of a really good party gets shut down for getting out of control.
There's just a foreshadowing of imminent risk.
Any phases of thrill in the market can be exposed to dangerous territory. But the amateur traders don't realize it until it's too late.
And traders who got in are already lost in the euphoria of all it.
That's another market cycle phase to watch out for right after the thrill.
Keep your eyes peeled.
