People have their own strategies and calculations when trading. some are more comfortable playing in the safe zone and are not too hasty in making decisions after they experience a loss in their trade. they take a moment to take a breath and fix their emotions, then they can make a good decision.

Moreover, each trader has their own risk mitigation in their trade, so they may take that into account and not take an opportunity even when they see one. and it may be that not taking action is the best decision they can make.
