According to @QCompounding, buying a stock just because it performed well recently is risky because yesterday’s winners can become tomorrow’s losers, so past performance alone is not a reliable buy signal for traders (source: @QCompounding on X, Jan 11, 2026). For trade execution, this means avoid entries driven purely by recent gains and FOMO, and reassess risk-reward instead of chasing momentum, a principle that also applies to crypto assets like BTC and ETH where recent leaders can reverse quickly (source: @QCompounding on X, Jan 11, 2026).
