are buying and buying when others are selling, investors who practice contrarian investing aim to generate profits by going against the general market trend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Contrarian investing is a long-term approach. It is an investment technique in which investors actively ignore market trends by selling while others buy, and vice versa. <\/strong>Contrarian investors share the opinion that those who argue that the market is moving upward do so only when they have no more purchasing power and are fully invested.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-horizontal is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-1 wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button is-style-outline\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-text-color has-background wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/link.upstox.com\/nTL28g5QMbdTQ28M6\" style=\"border-radius:50px;color:#0f0027;background-color:#e4fa00\" rel=\"nofollow\"><strong>Open Upstox Account Now!<\/strong><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>During this period, the market is at its pinnacle. Hence, when the market moves downward, those who believed that it was going up have already sold off their shares, and the market can only go up at this moment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the financial markets, the herd mentality typically wins out. Many investors think the stock market is doing well and will continue rising, or they believe the market is in crisis and will be lower next week than it is now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/rakshithpai.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/ompqcwx422y-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Become A Contrarian Investor: Going Against The Market Trend!\" class=\"wp-image-8035\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rakshithpai.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/ompqcwx422y-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/rakshithpai.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/ompqcwx422y-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/rakshithpai.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/ompqcwx422y-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/rakshithpai.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/ompqcwx422y-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/rakshithpai.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/ompqcwx422y-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/rakshithpai.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/ompqcwx422y.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Contrarian_Trading_Works\"><\/span><strong>How Contrarian Trading Works:<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Understanding conventional thinking in great detail is the first step toward contrarian investment.<\/strong> This may apply to an individual stock, a broader stock market sector, or the market itself. A contrarian investor then seeks weaknesses in the consensus and creates a case to support their contrarian perspective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>A contrarian investor could build a &#8220;bear case&#8221; for the market as a whole or for certain sectors within it, for instance, if the majority view is a &#8220;bull case&#8221; for the stock market based on increased economic growth.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A contrarian investor might also be positive, while pessimistic ideas are alluring. This is especially true for individual equities or stock markets that have lost favor. For instance, hedge funds, which pool investor money, usually hunt for aggressive contrarian investing approaches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Investors that take a contrarian approach do not desire immediate gains. The goal is to seek areas of opportunity inside the market where they think the common thinking is erroneous in the hopes that their investment will succeed when other investors change their perspectives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Investors who take a contrarian attitude must thus be prepared to bear short-term losses as well as the uncertainty that comes with waiting for the validation of their idea.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_spot_a_potential_Contrarian_opportunity\"><\/span><strong>How to spot a potential Contrarian opportunity?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The best way for contrarian investors to detect a possible contrarian opportunity is by assessing the broader market trend and investor opinions.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, if you think you are reading constant news about the market or a stock that is likely to climb, it might be a good starting point for you to conduct contrarian investing. In the long term, it is practically likely that every stock will move to its real value, whether up or down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If some stocks are in the news, it makes them hot stocks. You may then start monitoring them and undertaking extensive technical and fundamental analysis to discover their genuine value.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As there is a risk that investors may overreact, you will witness a quick surge in the prices of these equities. Once they are at their height, you may wait for them to collapse and then enter by buying these stocks at a low price. As they move toward their genuine worth, you will generate money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Or, in simple words, &#8220;Buy Low, Sell High&#8221; and &#8220;Buy When Others are Selling, and vice versa.&#8221;\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Contrarian_Investing_Characteristics\"><\/span><strong>Contrarian Investing Characteristics:<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The following qualities separate contrarian investing from other investment strategies:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Long-Term_Perspective\"><\/span><strong>Long-Term Perspective<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Investors should constantly consider the long term.
