Sometimes prices rise just because they’re rising. Investors get caught chasing the crowd, ignoring the signs that something doesn’t add up. Bubbles form when hype replaces logic and collapse when reality snaps back.

You’ll learn:

- What classic warning signs point to unsustainable price runs and when it’s time to be cautious
- Why spotting hype cycles early lets you protect gains instead of watching them disappear overnight
