How Does Margin Trading Amplify the Psychological Effects during a Market Collapse?

Margin trading increases both potential gains and losses, heightening emotional reactions. When prices fall, the fear of losing more than the initial investment (liquidation) triggers panic selling to meet margin calls or avoid total loss.

This forced, emotionally driven selling adds significant, rapid supply to the market, accelerating the price decline and the spiral.
