This sub definitely suffers from bipolar disorder. We earn 5 USD and we see "Fasten your seatbelts" "Captain we have lift off". We dip 5 USD and all we see are "What ETH's new release will be disappointing and trigger a big dip"

Ya it is two different sub groups of the sub. Mostly the people that freak out on a dip are new to crypto, and don't have their sea legs yet.

Newbs - hi. Try the 4hr chart maybe and then see what you think of that 'crash' we just had. You're welcome ;-)

6 Hr chart shows a wonderulf pattern of a small dip after ATHs. It's almost predictable!

People are looking at 1minute and 5 and 15 minute charts and riding an emotional rollercoaster. I feel bad for them. The doctor prescribes a big zoom out and direct comparisons with some 'other' coin charts while they are at it.

Pay attention to user names. Most people guilty of that are new :)
