After the pump of nearly +60%, ILV has left the entire market stunned. But after the joy comes... the worry. The price quickly reversed and dropped sharply from the 23.5 area down to below 20. The crowd began to panic: 'Should I long again?', 'Or has it already peaked?'.
From a strategic perspective, it can be seen that the sharks are not in a hurry to take action at this moment. They are observing the crowd's reactions to choose the most effective way to 'trap'.

📌 There are 2 situations that sharks often wait for:
✅ 1. If the crowd starts to short a lot:
Sharks will suddenly push the price up again to force liquidations, creating a reverse psychological effect and forcing short sellers to buy back at a higher price. This is the classic short trap – very painful and very effective.
✅ 2. If the crowd longs too early:
Sharks may create 1–2 green candles to lure longs, then unleash a severe sell-off to force long positions to cut losses en masse.

🎯 So when is the right moment to act?
Sharks usually do not act when the market is still balanced. They wait until the crowd is heavily leaning to one side – that’s when the trap is painful and effective. And they always do the opposite of the crowd's expectations.

🧠 Advice:
At this point, standing aside and observing for a few more movements will be safer than rushing in with FOMO. Let the sharks take action first – then act according to the traces they leave behind.
