Most of the top-tier traders in the crypto circle today are from the younger generation, and their trading styles are completely different from traditional methods. These people have perfected the art of contrarian tactics, leveraging their capital advantage to crush all technical indicators underfoot. No matter how fundamentally weak the coins they operate are, their trading techniques are truly jaw-dropping.
All those bizarre market movements you've seen are here: massive jumps and drops at high levels, initially seeming like the bottom will be broken, only to open high the next day and surge straight up; or opening high with increased volume and falling to form a bearish candle, then the next day hitting a limit-up; or after continuous crashes, suddenly reversing and hitting multiple limit-ups to set new highs; even during a rally, they suddenly hit the limit-down to scare retail investors, then shake out the chips and push the price to new highs... With this combo, the blood-stained chips held by retail investors are forcibly shaken out and sold cheaply to these big players.
The question is—under this ecosystem, how can retail investors possibly make money? Not losing money is already considered good luck; big losses are the norm. When you see a coin's technicals indicating a decline or even a crash tomorrow, but you dare not place a counter-order, you can understand why retail investors are always on the path of cutting losses. Who knows what tricks these people will pull off tomorrow?

No matter how perfect the technical analysis is, it can't withstand the crushing volume of funds. That's how I got wiped out.
---
This combo punch is indeed lethal. After a continuous limit-down, it suddenly hits the limit-up. Every time I think, "This time really can't go any further," but I'm always eaten up.
---
Basically, it's a gamble on who will be the last bag-holder. On-chain data shows whales are active again. We've retail investors seen through it long ago, but we still went all-in.
---
Not daring to place reverse orders is the most painful. Knowing the strange market conditions but never guessing the next move correctly. The risk factor is infinite.
---
Young whales are indeed ruthless. They can crush indicators and still push prices up. This must be the game rule of capital volume.
---
Every time I hope the backtest data supports me, but the next day I get liquidated. It perfectly matches my risk tolerance expectations.
---
Laughing. The most exciting moment is when there's a massive plunge from a high level. Thinking today might break through, but they just hit a straight limit-up.
---
The problem is no one knows what the wild move tomorrow will be, so we can only gamble.

These people are really incredible, they're totally playing retail investors.
Watching the candlestick charts is like watching a fantasy drama; it's completely unpredictable.
The amount of funds is just a cheat code.

Really, every time I analyze the technical charts clearly, the big players deliberately go against them, and retail investors simply can't compete.

Damn, I saw the manipulative move of opening high and hitting the limit down again. These people are really devils.

I'm screwed, retail investors really have no way out
---
It's the same old trick again, technical analysis completely ineffective
---
Capital is king, we can't compete
---
Every time I think it's going to crash, it reverses and teaches me a lesson
---
These traders really push human nature to the limit, incredible
---
Not daring to take the opposite position is the most hopeless place
---
Young traders really go to extremes
---
The chips are forcibly shaken out, can only accept fate
---
Even if you understand, it's useless, no money, can't keep up
---
The next day, a single limit-up is the most disgusting, I've never escaped it

Really, these new-era market manipulators are getting more and more outrageous.
Retail investors are just like leeks among leeks in front of them; technical analysis is all a lie.
That's why I mainly focus on long-term holding now and don't follow the trend.
Once you see through these game rules, if you can't compete with their capital, don't hard confront them.
Counter-trend trading? Overthinking it. The odds are all on their side.

Oh my god, this is the crazy market behavior I see every day, I really can't play it
Freaked out and sold, then turned around and hit a new high, I'm really overwhelmed
These young manipulators rely on large capital to crush technical analysis, retail investors have no way out
Instead of guessing their next move, it's better to just lie flat
At this point, who dares to chase? Cutting losses until hands are numb

That's why I stopped looking at technical indicators long ago; I can't understand what the market makers are thinking anyway.
---
Retail investors are really too difficult to deal with. Yesterday, I tried to buy the dip but got crushed through, and today I chased the high only to get cut.
---
Forget it, I’d rather just stick to regular dollar-cost averaging. No more playing psychological games with these big players.
---
I've seen this trick of opening with a straight-up limit-up many times; someone always falls for it.
---
Basically, it all comes down to the amount of capital; why should we play against them?
---
That day’s operation of smashing the price to the limit to scare retail investors was really brilliant. I was among those scared out.
---
Instead of studying bottoms and tops, it’s better to study when the market makers will move.
