Could you elaborate on why Bitcoin often exhibits a "buy the rumor, sell the news" market behavior? This pattern suggests that investors tend to buy into the cryptocurrency based on speculation and rumors surrounding potential positive developments, such as new partnerships or technological advancements. However, once these anticipated announcements or news events materialize, the market reacts with a sell-off, possibly due to a perceived lack of significant upside potential or profit-taking from investors who bought in anticipation of the news. Could you provide some insights into the psychology behind this market behavior and the potential risks it poses for investors?
