Le FOMO et la Panique : Maîtriser ses émotions

دفتر عاطفي — FOMO والذعر

Emotional journal

FOMO and panic: two sides of the same coin

FOMO pushes you to buy when everyone talks about a stock — often at the worst moment. Panic pushes you to sell at the bottom when the price drops. On Casabourse, these emotions are amplified by WhatsApp groups, forums and headlines like “+50 % in one month”. An emotional journal does not remove emotions; it makes them visible before they dictate the order.

BVC practical case: in April 2026, Addoha saw a spike in volume and price toward 36 MAD before falling back. TGCC, after +295 % since January 2024, sparked comparable euphoria. Open the pages on Casabourse and the comparator to relive these episodes with numbers, not memories.

Emotional timeline — two BVC episodes

The tables below reconstruct, session by session, what an emotional journal should have captured. Reread them before your next impulsive order.

Episode 1 — Addoha: the April 2026 FOMO spike

Addoha (property developer) saw its price surge sharply toward 36 MAD in mid-April 2026, driven by sector revival rumours while volume was already very high on the line (~400,000 shares/day on Casabourse). In two weeks, the price fell back toward 28 MAD — a −22 % fade for those who entered at the top.

Date Addoha price (MAD) Volume (shares) Dominant emotion What a journal would have noted
5 Apr 2026 29.2 52,000 Neutral “Nothing special; not on my watchlist”
12 Apr 2026 33.8 285,000 Emerging FOMO “+16 % in one week; why? No results, no press release”
18 Apr 2026 36.0 412,000 Peak FOMO “Everyone’s talking about it; RSI probably > 75; I have no thesis”
25 Apr 2026 31.5 198,000 Panic (sellers) “−12 % in one week; those who entered at 36 are hurting”
3 May 2026 28.1 89,000 Resignation “Full fade; lesson: no buy without thesis or stop”

FOMO signals spotted on Addoha

  • Volume ×8 without major fundamental news.
  • Rise > 20 % in fewer than 10 sessions.
  • Social chatter (“you have to buy Addoha”) without analysis.
  • No stop and no written thesis before buying.

Episode 2 — TGCC: post-rally euphoria

TGCC recorded approximately +295 % since January 2024, reaching a peak at 1,082 MAD in August 2025. Euphoria persisted: investors entered at 900–1,000 MAD hoping for “another +50 %”, without calculating risk/reward or reading the double top forming around 854–845 MAD. In June 2026, the price trades around 750 MAD−31 % from the peak for the latest entrants.

Phase TGCC price (MAD) Emotion Typical mistake Journal entry
2024–2025 rally 400 → 1,082 Euphoria, regret (those outside) “It always goes up” “+170 % in 18 months; I wasn’t positioned — FOMO”
August 2025 peak 1,082 Maximum conviction Buying at the top without a stop “Everyone’s winning; I buy 50 shares at 1,050”
2026 consolidation 676 – 854 Denial, hope “It will bounce back” without invalidation “Double top; I should revisit my thesis”
June 2026 ~750 Resignation or panic Selling mid-range “−31 % since my entry; lesson: RR and stop would have limited damage”

FOMO vs panic grid — spot the trigger

Signal FOMO (Addoha Apr 2026) Panic (same episode)
Trigger “Everyone’s winning” + volume ×8 “It will keep falling” after −12 % in 1 week
Typical price Entry ~36 MAD (peak) Exit ~28 MAD (fade)
Written thesis? No No
Journal antidote “No press release, no buy” “Stop or thesis invalidated? Otherwise hold”

How to keep an emotional journal — template

Before each order (or after each urge to order), note:

  1. Date and stock (e.g. Addoha, 18 Apr 2026)
  2. Price and volume (36 MAD, 412,000 shares)
  3. Emotion (FOMO, fear, euphoria, calm)
  4. Thesis or absence (“no thesis” = warning signal)
  5. Decision (buy / do not buy / wait) and why

Reread the journal each month. Patterns repeat: FOMO on spikes, panic on fades. Reading becomes a vaccine.

Practice exercise: your journal in 10 minutes

Open Addoha and TGCC on the April–May 2026 chart. Spot the Addoha spike at 36 MAD and the TGCC peak at 1,082 MAD. For each key date in the table, write one journal line: emotion, thesis, decision. Compare in the comparator with IAM (calm stock, vol ~44,070/day) to feel the emotional contrast — IAM does not remove FOMO, but it calibrates what a “normal” move looks like.

Key takeaways

  • FOMO = buying because others are winning; panic = selling because it’s falling.
  • Addoha April 2026: spike 36 MAD, fade toward 28 MAD — volume ×8 without thesis.
  • TGCC: post +295 % euphoria, entries at 900–1,050 MAD, regret at 750 MAD.
  • A journal makes emotions visible before the order.
  • No thesis + no stop = FOMO prey.
