No matter how small the market fluctuation, some media outlets can spin it into earth-shattering news.

Recently, a non-mainstream trading pair like BTC/USD experienced a normal spot price spike. To be honest, the trading depth for such a limited liquidity pair makes its volatility hardly worth discussing. But what was the result? A top A-share market software's push notification headline stubbornly called it—"8 Seconds of Terror! Bitcoin Suddenly Plummets 70%, Hundreds of Thousands of People Liquidated."

What kind of operation is this? Has everyone involved in writing news been brainwashed by UC's "shocking" style routine?

This is just an example. Similar false portrayals are common in the crypto media ecosystem. A small spike can be packaged as a "liquidation wave," a normal correction can be turned into a "market reversal." If this continues, retail investors will never be able to get real market information from the news, only getting dizzy from these clickbait headlines.

If you want to truly understand Bitcoin and cryptocurrency market trends, instead of relying on exaggerated headlines, it's better to look at exchange candlestick charts and depth data yourself. That way, you can avoid being led astray.

The media is really outrageous. They hype up a single spike as a crash, how can retail investors survive? --- The UC shocking headline style is truly toxic. Crypto media learn very quickly. --- Instead of trusting clickbait headlines, it's better to watch the K-line yourself to avoid being liquidated. --- A 70% crash? Laughable. It's obviously written by someone who has never traded before. --- This ecosystem will collapse sooner or later. Every day it's "shocking" "liquidation," who would believe it? --- Deep data is the real thing; everything else is nonsense. --- Some A-share software is really top-notch. Even in the crypto world, they still use UC's style. --- Basically, it's just to get clicks. They don't care about the lives of retail investors at all. --- Check the charts yourself. Don't let the headlines set the tone. Too many IQ taxes. --- A small fluctuation being spun as a liquidation wave—what are these writers thinking?

I knew it, I am too familiar with this routine. Reading candlestick charts is the real way, don’t be led astray by clickbait headlines. --- Is a small spike a big deal? I’ve seen it all before, true retail investors should monitor the market themselves. --- Deep data doesn’t lie, headlines are always lying. --- It’s always the same, every time there’s a slight fluctuation, everyone overreacts. I’m used to it. --- Instead of wasting time on those flashy push notifications, it’s better to study order book depth, really. --- To put it simply, if you don’t learn to judge independently, you’ll always be a leek. --- That’s why I only look at on-chain data now, I don’t care what the media says. --- A small spike packaged as a liquidation wave, I give it full marks for irony. --- Retail investors should learn to read the order book, not chase hot topics. --- Wake up, everyone, do it yourself and be self-sufficient.

70% crash? You make me laugh. What kind of ridiculous headlines are these? Such bad manners. --- UC Shock headline, huh? Crypto media has learned it really well. Retail investors should just look at K-line charts themselves. --- One spike can be blown up into a liquidation wave. This tactic is truly brilliant. It will backfire sooner or later. --- Forget it, it's more reliable to watch the exchange depth yourself. Don't get caught up in these clickbait headlines. --- This is outrageous. Small fluctuations are written as earth-shattering events. Do they really think retail investors are fools? --- I haven't been paying attention to crypto media news for a long time. It's all false hype, a waste of my eyesight.

Ridiculous, a 70% drop and you're liquidated? Clearly, you've never seen real volatility. Clickbait headlines really need to be regulated; I was so scared I closed my position directly. Looking at K-line charts is much more reliable than reading news; don't let them lead you around by the nose. Trying to cause panic with these sudden spikes? Wake up, everyone. This is how retail investors pay their IQ tax.

Clickbait is really disgusting, a 70% crash? Nonsense, isn't it better to look at the K-line yourself? --- It's the same old trick again, even injecting needles can be blown into a liquidation wave, this media is really outrageous. --- UC's shocking headlines have even infected the crypto circle, retail investors really deserve to be liquidated if they keep reading these crappy pushes. --- Look at the in-depth data yourself, do you have to be led by the nose by clickbait headlines? --- It's always like this, small fluctuations are turned into big news, are you brainless? --- Exactly, crypto media are just like this, if you really want to make money, you need to be able to read the charts yourself. --- One injection can be packaged into a liquidation wave, how good is this editor at storytelling?

The media's clickbait headlines are really incredible, 70% crash? Scaring people to death and not paying the price --- Another myth about inserting needles, retail investors should have seen through the tricks long ago --- Damn, every time it's like this, I really can't stand this group of self-media in the crypto circle --- Instead of being brainwashed by these shocking headlines, it's better to watch the charts and monitor the K-line yourself; anyway, you can't run away --- That's why I never look at push notifications, I just check the exchange data, it's more convenient --- A small fluctuation deliberately causes panic, this business is indeed easy to do --- Annoyed by these "instant crash" headlines, seen them every day, only fools believe them --- UC's stuff has really infiltrated the crypto circle, they can make up stories too well --- Just inserting needles, do you have to turn it into a liquidation wave? Laughing to death, does the media have no brains? --- Those who can't understand deep data are still browsing news, no wonder they get cut off
