Investors’ Action Bias in Financial Markets

Human psychology’s inherent bias toward action manifests acutely in financial markets, where constant headlines pressure investors to react. This tendency—rooted in evolutionary survival mechanisms—often leads to premature decisions. As Josh Billings observed, "Half of the troubles of this life can be traced to saying yes too quickly and not saying no soon enough."
The cryptocurrency sector exemplifies this phenomenon, with traders frequently overreacting to market noise. Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) markets particularly demonstrate how impulsive trading erodes returns. Institutional players on exchanges like Coinbase and Binance increasingly employ algorithmic tools to counteract emotional decision-making.
