Why Do I Keep Entering at the Worst Time?
There was a time I believed in accumulation. That quiet stretch after a market crash, when the candles shrink, volume dies, and nothing seems to happen—I thought that was where the smart money played. I stared at the sideways charts, telling myself this was the calm before the storm. That if I waited long enough, if I held tight, I'd catch the breakout. But every time, the storm broke in the opposite direction—taking my confidence with it.
The idea was seductive: that behind the scenes, powerful hands were quietly loading up while the crowd gave up. But that’s not accumulation. That’s choreography—designed by the exchange. It’s not a lull; it’s bait. They let the price coil just long enough for you to believe in structure, in setups, in signs. Then they pull the floor. And if you survive that, they bleed you with fake pumps, phantom liquidity, and precision stop-hunts.
I used to think patience was the missing key. But in truth, the exchange owns the lock, the door, and the hallway beyond. You’re not early. You’re positioned exactly where they want you—inside the trap, believing it’s a strategy.
Accumulate all you want. The only thing growing is their control.
