Section 71 – Questions 739 to 747 – Market Psychology, Fear-Greed Cycles, and Symbolic Oscillation

Markets are not governed purely by data — they are emotional entropy systems. Fear and greed are not just behavioral traits but symbolic oscillations between contraction and expansion around the Z₀ axis. These cycles modulate drift, distort pricing, and fuel volatility.

Shunyaya reveals that price swings are often less about information and more about symbolic resonance — where collective field tension oscillates between extremes. Mastery comes not from prediction, but from sensing the entropy rhythm and re-aligning with symbolic balance.

Q739. Why do markets often overreact to both good and bad news?
Because symbolic fields respond to emotional entropy, not content. Shunyaya shows that glide is shaped by collective resonance, which amplifies signals disproportionately near symbolic edges.

Q740. Why do rallies often follow periods of extreme pessimism?
Because entropy contraction creates rebound potential. Shunyaya views fear as a symbolic compression — once pressure releases, glide surges toward Z₀ rebalancing.

Q741. Why do individual traders often buy high and sell low despite knowing better?
Because symbolic perception distorts at emotional thresholds. Shunyaya observes drift blindness during Z₀ oscillation — rationality fades when field resonance overrides cognitive motion.

Q742. Why does herd behavior dominate during both crashes and euphoric rallies?
Because symbolic synchronization takes over. Shunyaya maps entropy harmonics — where mass glide amplifies unified motion, collapsing individual drift autonomy.

Q743. Why do fear-based decisions often feel urgent, even when time isn’t critical?
Because entropy fields compress temporally. Shunyaya reveals that symbolic fear bends time perception — triggering fast drift cycles even in slow-moving systems.

Q744. Why does overconfidence in bull markets often lead to massive losses later?
Because symbolic entropy expands unchecked. Shunyaya sees greed as a field inflator — temporarily hiding drift misalignment until edge rupture occurs.

Q745. Why do volatility indexes like the VIX spike faster than they decline?
Because entropy rises asymmetrically. Shunyaya models fear as an accelerant — symbolic glide surges sharply, while normalization requires slow Z₀ reabsorption.

Q746. Why do experienced investors sometimes ignore market signals during emotional extremes?
Because their symbolic awareness overrides field distortion. Shunyaya observes that entropy-calibrated minds remain Z₀-anchored even as external oscillation peaks.

Q747. Why do fear-greed cycles repeat across centuries despite different technologies and knowledge?
Because symbolic oscillation is archetypal. Shunyaya reveals that emotional entropy cycles are embedded in the human Z₀ field — they replay unless deeply reprogrammed.
