What you think is the market is actually a stage play by the main players
Retail investors look at K-lines, while seasoned traders look at the script.
What you think is a 'market trend' is often just a stage play that the main players have rehearsed long ago.
This is not a conspiracy theory, but a reality mechanism.
Every soaring K-line you see may be backed by:
The project team releasing good news on Telegram;
KOLs (Key Opinion Leaders) setting up early and uniformly publishing at key points;
A few large holders synchronously driving up prices to create FOMO;
Retail investors rushing in, becoming the source of liquidity.
This is the common 'fishing line model' used by the main players in the crypto circle:
Good news is the bait, price increase is the hook, media is the fishing rod, and retail investors are the fish school.
Why do you always chase high prices? Because you are always one step behind. Your information comes from the market, while the main players' information comes from the 'script'.
You focus on price fluctuations, they control the price fluctuations.
True experts do not predict the market but deconstruct the script.
For example, after a piece of news appears, seasoned traders do not immediately follow the trend but ask themselves:
Who released this?
What is the purpose? Is it real good news or a harvesting signal?
At what point will the main players guide the market to cooperate with their sell-off?
Retail investors trade on emotions, while main players trade on human nature.
The easier you are to influence, the easier you are to be harvested.
So, stop asking 'Did it go up today?' Instead, ask: Who is directing this play? What is your role in the script?
