We’ve seen this movie before, and we all know how it ends. They’ve rebranded the 2021 NFT mania and slapped a “Semiconductor” label on it, hoping you won’t notice the pattern. Everyone is currently in the “straight up” phase where it feels like free money, but that’s exactly when the trap is set. It is a classic case of market euphoria where the reality of the business no longer matters, only the “hype” and the fear of missing out.

The reality is that this kind of vertical movement is psychologically designed to exhaust you. They want you to feel “pain” for not being all-in so that you finally crack and buy the top right before the smart money exits. It’s an insult to think this time is “different” just because the tech is more useful than a digital cartoon of a monkey. A bubble is a bubble, and when the euphoria hits this level, the “max pain” isn’t the climb—it’s the inevitable drop that leaves the latecomers holding the bag. If you feel like you’re being gaslit by the green candles, trust your gut.
