Before the US inflation data was released, Bitcoin was stagnant at 69,000. Once the data came out above expectations, Bitcoin plummeted by $2000 in 5 minutes, with a total liquidation of $320 million! A fan asked me: 'Dragon Brother, my long position at 69,000 just got hit by a spike to my stop-loss, and the next second it bounced back.' I replied: 'The market makers are just targeting your stop-loss to crash the price!'
BlackRock's IBIT saw a net inflow of $180 million today, but Grayscale's GBTC sold off $240 million! It's like a pool where water is being added on one side while draining on the other; in the end, all leveraged traders drown!
WLD surged 20% due to AI hype, but the project team secretly transferred coins to exchanges, causing the price to halve instantly; SUI plummeted 15% due to unlock selling, and the comments section is full of rights protection memes.
Old Wang saw BTC break 70,000 and immediately went all in with a 10x long position, even sending me a red envelope saying this time it would double!
As soon as the CPI data came out, BTC dropped to 67,500, Old Wang got liquidated, and tearfully asked me if he could protect his rights.
Old Wang stubbornly went all in on the plummeting SUI, only to find that the project team unlocked 50 million coins, causing the price to drop sharply.
Market makers love it when your stop-loss line on data release days becomes their withdrawal password!
Three life-saving tricks
Data pretends to be dead: Don't touch contracts within 4 hours before and after CPI and non-farm payrolls; the market makers specifically target gamblers!
Set a secret signal for stop-loss: Don't set stop-loss at round numbers like 69000; change it to something quirky like 68950, so the market makers can't sweep it!
Only play the leading coins: BTC and ETH have a liquidation rate 50% lower than altcoins. If you really want to buy, get some inscriptions like ORDI; at least they won't go to zero.
