FUD

“Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt” — negative news or rumors that cause panic selling in the market.

FUD stands for Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt
it’s when negative headlines, rumors, or misinformation
create panic and confusion among investors.

It’s the opposite of hype — and it can move markets just as fast.

Common examples

  • “Crypto is banned!” (but it’s just regulation news)
  • “Exchange got hacked!” (but the story is outdated)
  • “This project is dead!” (but it’s only a market dip)

FUD spreads quickly on social media and news,
often causing people to sell early or miss future gains.

Why it matters

  • Emotional reactions to FUD cause many traders to exit good positions.
  • Smart investors verify information and use dips to buy undervalued coins.

💡 Lanzo Tip

Before reacting to any FUD — check multiple trusted sources.
