1. Fake Drop to Attract Shorts + Reverse Rally (Trap for Shorts)

• Situation you encounter: Drops to 0.195 and immediately rebounds

• Objective: Intentionally breaking support to make retail investors think a crash is coming, leading them to short; as a result, when it rebounds, the shorts get trapped, starting forced liquidations and margin calls, triggering a chain rally for the bulls.

2. Major Players Acting Against Human Nature

• The common phenomenon in the market where "whenever you go long, it drops; whenever you go short, it rallies" is not a coincidence.

• Market makers utilize retail sentiment and leverage data (many platforms disclose long-short ratios, funding rates, etc.) to gauge market fear and greed, then act in the opposite direction.

3. Manipulating Candle Patterns (Drawing Charts)

• Using capital to "draw" the expected candle patterns, such as false breakouts, false lower shadows, long red false signals, etc., to lure longs or shorts.

• Retail investors see the patterns and think they are safe, but in reality, they are in the "trap zone" of the major players.

4. Using Liquidation Mechanisms to Rally (Crushing Shorts)

• On high-leverage platforms, once the price hits a certain level, it will trigger the liquidation system to automatically buy back at market price, allowing the major players to consume the margin of the shorts.

• Like you said, "If you are going long, it definitely won't rise now" — this is a typical operation of the market makers against market sentiment.

5. Aligning with News and Community Hype

• Creating false hype on Telegram, X (Twitter), and Discord to induce FOMO (Fear of Missing Out).

• Sometimes there are even fake "listing on exchanges" news, combined with bullish moves, waiting for retail investors to chase high and then dump.

Are they the "bad guys"?

The "bad guys" you mentioned are not wrong from the perspective of retail investors. However, from the essence of capital markets — they are just playing a game of competition without rules, and they hold guns while we only have fists.
