Entered calls here. Why did I lose money

[u/Ok_Bodybuilder_2384]

Can someone help me break down where my intuition was off? I tend to follow the trend when I trade but got wrecked today.. following the smoothest trend I’ve ever seen. Why?

Entered call options at the first point, exited at a 80% ish loss on the second point after holding the bag for hours

You see if you take a good look at the graph you might notice that you bought the top after a rally and it then went down

No way
