Learning to respect the market on $DAX pulls

Been watching the $DAX closely lately, and something that keeps hitting me is the danger of anticipating reversals too early. I've found myself getting burned trying to call a top or bottom when the momentum is clearly still against me, particularly on those strong daily trends. It feels like a subtle form of revenge trading, where I'm trying to 'make up' for missing the initial move, but it just leads to accumulating small losses. Need to just let the market prove itself before stepping in, rather than betting against the prevailing flow.
