After CZ revealed his holdings, is this a bullish signal?
The market is telling us exactly the opposite, and we laugh at ourselves if we believe the rise; this was not a structural upward signal but rather a repeated movement we have seen a thousand times to turn volatility into a coordinated profit cycle.
After CZ's post, whale groups pumped the market to accumulate 80 million new tokens, and the ASTER index saw a crazy jump of 27%, surpassing $1.25. This was the catalyst they needed to create a false peak.
Here is the definitive evidence
🎣 Analysis of Smart Money behavior
Series analysis tells a tale of cunning greed that makes you think twice about who controls the market: buying the pump, short selling: at the moment we reached the peak, sell orders began pouring in. One prominent trader opened a short position worth 15 million dollars, betting heavily on the collapse.
The coordinated discharge:
In parallel, the dominant group began unloading 10 million tokens out of the 80 million they just collected, and the timing couldn't be more precise.
📉 Summary: Why did ASTER drop by 15%
The sudden drop of 15% did not surprise me at all; it's a calculated feedback loop for its owners
One last word, my friends: the big players succeeded in turning the initial rise into a profit opportunity from both the bullish and bearish sides. The 27% increase was merely a clear liquidity trap and not evidence of the beginning of a real upward wave. Traders should beware of repeating this annoying pattern.
