Niubility! It's time for the bulls and bears to face off!

Two whales are each other's opponents.

I rarely studied contracts before, but recently I've spent time researching the trends and data analysis of Bitcoin contracts, and it all makes sense now! In fact, contracts do have an impact on spot market trends. This is because contracts amplify the volume, and with liquidation, it's easier for the market makers to harvest profits, so the observation methods are more direct. The spot market isn't the same; if you buy Bitcoin and hold it without selling, no matter how much it drops, the market maker will just let you suffer through it, which is just holding on, with no way out.

With contracts, you have a liquidation point; the market maker will either liquidate you or let you self-liquidate, constantly rubbing against you, repeatedly grinding you down! They aim to break your mentality, to keep you up all night, to throw your hormones out of balance, to disorient you; they want you to lose money while also torturing your body.

Thinking this way, you understand the necessity of studying contract methods; market makers are not only executing trades but also manipulating retail investors' mindsets and routines! Once you have studied these thoroughly, you can return to guide spot trading with an elevated level of understanding, improving accuracy and trend grasping abilities.

Predicting the future adds another dimension, as market makers manipulate retail investors' mindsets through psychological operations.

How to study it? First, you must have a solid grasp of spot trading; you need the basic theories and techniques. Then, through psychological suggestion (I took a psychology elective in college; you might want to check out Freud's interpretations of dreams), think about what the market maker's purpose is for hitting a certain price level. If you open a position at a low or high level, what does it mean when it hits this point? Will you hold on or stop loss, take profit, or what to do if it rises or falls? By combining those price levels with specific liquidation data and trading volumes, you can understand the market maker's intentions and psychology, and in turn, deduce what retail investors' mindsets will be. For instance, who is opening positions with floating losses, who is opening positions with profits, who needs to close their hedged positions, and who is planning to enter the market; are they going long or short? After a few months of research, you will realize how the market makers operate, and then when you trade in the spot market, you'll be much more confident! It will all become clear!
