Market attention is always forward-looking, never backward. By the time everyone's talking about what already pumped, the real opportunity is gone. The traders who print money aren't analyzing yesterday's breakouts—they're reading tomorrow's signals before the crowd notices. Your edge isn't in chasing what blew up. It's in positioning yourself before the narrative shift happens. That's where alpha lives. Miss that timing, and you're just another bag holder watching from the sidelines.
