The secret that the main forces do not want retail investors to know is their two major characteristics before they cash out.
First, remember that the main forces always cash out after a continuous rise to high positions.
The first characteristic: a high position first shows increased volume for a rise or a significant gap up followed by massive fluctuations, meaning it doesn't rise much anymore, also called volume self-rise.
The main forces mainly increase volume for a rise or significantly gap up, which can definitely attract a large number of retail investors to follow and invest. The main forces can take this opportunity to sell at a good price. However, the main forces hold too many shares. They cannot sell everything at once like retail investors.
So what to do? Next, there will be fluctuations at high positions, bouncing up and down, creating an illusion that the main forces are absorbing shares, attracting retail investors to continuously enter and take over. For example, on that day, there may be a spike followed by a drop, where the main forces sell a batch first, then after a significant drop the next morning, they violently rebound in the afternoon, creating an illusion for retail investors that the price won't drop further. After several such back-and-forth movements, retail investors will let their guard down and increase their positions. It’s like the ‘wolf is coming’ scenario; after saying it a few times, if there is no crash, then there’s no silver lining. During this process, the main forces can smoothly offload their shares.
The second characteristic: although it has the highest accuracy, it is also the most complex and difficult to understand. I summarize it in six words: the stronger at the top.
You might question, how can it be stronger if the main forces are offloading? The chips in the hands of the main forces are massive. They cannot sell everything at once like retail investors.
In fact, being a main force is very tough. Especially when offloading, it becomes even more difficult. They have to maintain the confidence of retail investors while secretly selling. If they are not careful and the act fails, causing retail investors to run first, the main forces may also fail to offload at high prices. Therefore, they must repeatedly push the price down and then pull it back up, even continuously creating new highs to stimulate the highest desires of retail investors. Hence, the closer they are to the top offloading area, the harder the main forces must perform.
Reflected in the trend, it feels very strong, and technically, it will show divergence after fluctuations or a new high after a series of adjustments. This is the logical principle of divergence and counter-words.
