A Few Tricks the Big Players Use to Manipulate Retail Investors
First Create Panic
Big players push down the price to create a short-term drop, generating a 'cooling' atmosphere. Retail investors, seeing the price drop, begin to panic and rush to sell their holdings. At this moment, big players take the opportunity to buy in at a low price, preparing for future increases.
Intentionally Disrupt the Market
Big players engage in frequent small trades, making the market appear chaotic like a headless fly. Retail investors, noticing increased market volatility, feel anxious and ultimately decide to sell at the lows, which falls right into the big players' pockets.
Chip Collection Complete, Time to Pump
Once big players have gathered enough chips, they begin to raise the price while pretending to trade frequently through small accounts, creating a false impression of a 'booming market' to attract more retail investors.
Pretend to Sell, Intimidate Retail Investors
When the price is rising, big players continue buying while pretending to sell, creating market panic and inducing retail investors to chase the highs. In reality, they are not truly selling but are manipulating psychological tactics, leading to a sustained price increase.
The big players' strategy is to create panic and intentionally disrupt the market to lure retail investors into taking over, then sell at high prices to make a profit. As a retail investor, it’s essential to stay calm and not be swayed by short-term market fluctuations.
When you see the market fluctuating wildly, don’t rush to chase highs or sell lows; think rationally before making decisions to avoid becoming a victim of being 'harvested'.
